Installing more than three cells in the 2 4 GHz band or more than nine cells in the 5 GHz band requires more RF planning In such a context you should contact the Verint Video Solutions project engineering group for assistance 5 GHz Band in Europe The maximum number of colocated cells corresponds to the number of channels in the available frequency bands that can be used outdoors For instance in most countries of Western Europe you can have up to 11 colocated cells in the 5 40 5 725 GHz band However because the master units must see each other in a DFS context the variety of supported setups is limited In this context you can easily install up to five cells By respecting the following steps you can assume that the cells will not share the same frequency channel making the complete bandwidth available for each one You have to 1 Assign a different wireless passkey to each cell 2 Ensure that all S3100 masters see one another For the procedure see Appendix F on page 83 22 Verint Video Solutions S3100 User Manual 3 Position the units so that there is at least 3 feet 1 meter between each antenna 4 In each master unit set a different starting order 1 for the first unit 2 for the unit next to it 3 for the third one and so on Installing more than five cells in the 5 40 5 725 GHz band requires the use of adjacent channels This situation demands greater distances between the antennas to reduce po
