A cellular site survey is not necessary if your anticipated installation location is known to have strong cellular signal strength. If you are unsure of available cellular signal strength or are choosing between several installation locations, follow the below instructions to perform a site survey to determine your best possible installation location. After the optimal location has been determined, setup the 6300-CX with either the power supply unit or the POE injector cable.

1. Follow the steps in the “Initial Setup” section above. During a site survey it is useful to use the included battery pack instead of the power supply unit to power the Accelerated 6300-CX. The battery pack will power your device for approximately two hours while you perform your site survey. The battery pack is not rechargeable and should be properly disposed of after use.
2. Move the Accelerated 6300-CX to different locations within your site to determine the best compromise between signal strength and installation constraints. Since cellular signal strength may fluctuate, it is important to wait at each location for 1 minute while observing the signal strength indicator on the front of the device. Minimum cellular signal strength for proper operation is 2 bars.
3. After the optimal location has been determined, remove the battery pack and connect either the main power supply unit or POE injector cable (see section labeled Using Remote Power for more information).
