2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Indoor and Staging Antennas
The Firetide-supplied antennas are rated for use in dry, indoor
environments. If the antenna is exposed to weather, moisture,
or high humidity, it may fail. Use an approved outdoor-rated an-
tenna instead.
Planning Your Installation
HotPort Series 6000 nodes are easy to install. They are mechani-
cally compatible with existing HotPort nodes. Series 6000 nodes
form their own mesh, and can connect to Series 3000 meshes via
MeshBridge. Refer to the HotView Pro User Guide for details.
Staging Considerations
You should set up and test your nodes on a bench or table before
installing them. This will allow you to pre-configure the nodes so
that they are all on the same RF channel, etc.
Set up your HotPort node in a lab with all other HotPort units us-
ing two of the provided antennas, as shown in the figure.
Make the necessary connections and power the units.
Install the HotView software on a workstation and connect
the workstation to a HotPort node. (See the HotView User
Guide for information about installing and using HotView.)
You will use HotView to configure the nodes and create a mesh
network. Configure and test the settings you plan to use.
Begin by checking to see that all nodes are visible in HotView.
If not, troubleshoot this problem according to the directions
in the HotView User Guide.
Set the Country Code for your country of operation.
Re-verify that all nodes are visible.
Verify that all dual-radio nodes (Series 6102) have both ra-
dios correctly meshed.
