3.4.2 Deployment Methodology
The steps detailed in this section should assist you in successfully deploying the BCWN.
1. Scan the terrain on which the BCWN will be deployed.
(a) Determine the initial distances between BreadCrumb devices.
Refer to
Rajant Troubleshooting Range User Guide
for more information.
(b) Note any LOS obstructions, and plan BreadCrumb placement to work around them.
2. Identify the PC on which BC|Commander/BCAdmin will be run.
(a) This PC should have a wireless NIC, as you will need to carry it with you as you deploy
the BCWN.
i. Alternatively, the BC|Commander/BCAdmin PC can be stationary with one person
monitoring BC|Commander/BCAdmin while another deploys the BreadCrumbs. This
method requires some form of communication (radio, cell phone, etc.) between the
two persons.
3. Determine the location for the first BreadCrumb.
4. Power ON the device.
5. Wait approximately 90 seconds for the device to boot.
6. Power ON the BC|Commander/BCAdmin PC.
7. Start BC|Commander/BCAdmin.
8. The BC|Commander/BCAdmin console should display the first BreadCrumb.
9. Determine the approximate location for the next BreadCrumb.
10.Proceed to the location for this BreadCrumb, observing the network in
BCCommander/BCAdmin as you progress.
(a) If the BreadCrumb loses network connectivity before you reach its destination, backtrack
until network connectivity is restored. The point at which network connectivity for this
BreadCrumb is restored is most likely the farthest point in this direction at which you will
be able to place this BreadCrumb.
(b) If you reach the destination without losing connectivity you can place it there.
i. At this point, you may choose to proceed farther in an attempt to make optimal use of
the available BreadCrumbs.
ii. If so, proceed until network connectivity is lost and then backtrack until network
connectivity is restored for this BreadCrumb. The point at which network
connectivity is restored for this BreadCrumb is most likely the farthest point in this
direction at which you will be able to place this BreadCrumb.
11.Repeat steps 9 and 10 for any remaining BreadCrumbs.
