SETTINGS and INSTALLATION GUIDE
EN
Introduction
This guide covers the installation of the external antenna optional accessory for the IVPC-DS.
The external antenna comes with a 5 feet cable to allow for greater flexibility in antenna placement.
The guide will cover some key considerations for optimal placement of the antenna.
General Information
The IVPC-ANT helps by providing an antenna at a position that avoids obstacles against radio waves such as
walls and doors. The best communication is achieved by a direct open path between the communicating devices,
in this case the Wi-Fi router and the IVPC-DS. The antenna will not boost signal strength. If the Wi-Fi signal is too
weak at the IVPC-DS location, please consider getting a Wi-Fi range extender.
External antenna
for Wi-Fi communication only.
(Sub 1 GHz IVPC-DI range will not be affected.)

Important points to consider
1. Activate the IVPC-DS and check the signal strength indicator using the IVPC-MS
or a device running the OPTEX Vision App. This will be your reference level.
2. The IVPC-DS can be unmounted and brought to the intended antenna install
location for Wi-Fi range checking before attaching the antenna. This is useful
for assessing your Wi-Fi environment.
