HITRON CVE-30360 USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS
1 Interference from physical objects
2 Radio Frequency (RF) interference
To minimize interference from physical objects:
 Move the CVE-30360 away from walls, heavy furniture, other massive or
metallic objects like refrigerators, and so forth.
 Install the CVE-30360 in a higher location.
To minimize RF interference:
 Move the CVE-30360 away from sources of RF energy such as wireless
telephone base stations, microwaves, and so forth.
 Conduct a wireless site audit to see if other wireless networks are interfering with
yours. If so, you can change the wireless channel to one that isn’t so congested.
To conduct a site audit on the CVE-30360, go to the Wireless > WiFi Site
Survey screen. Click Scan. The screen that displays shows the wireless
networks in the area, the Ch field shows the channel they are using, and the
Signal (%) field shows how strongly the CVE-30360 is receiving their signal
(bear in mind that the strength of a network at the CVE-30360’s location is not
necessarily the same as at your wireless client’s location; it may be much
stronger there).
If there are a lot of networks or a very strong network using a single channel or a
group of channels, you can change the CVE-30360’s channel to one further
away from the congested channel. To do this on the CVE-30360, go to the
Wireless > Basic screen and choose an option from the Channel list. You
should choose a channel as far away from the congested area as possible;
ideally a difference of five channels is desirable.
Depending on their configuration, you may also then need to change the channel
on your wireless client devices.
