Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset Installation and Configuration Guide
Operational parameters
For a configuration of eight handsets, you need two base stations. Each base station supports a
maximum of four handsets.
Telephone-to-base range
The Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset cordless telephone utilizes an extremely efficient radio
design to deliver the maximum possible range while complying with the governing rules of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada. The effective operating range
within a site largely depends on the environmental characteristics, such as building construction
and internal layout of the site. The indoor range of the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset varies
based on the type of office environment. The outdoor clear-line-of-sight range is 350 meters (1000
feet). This range can vary with differing environments.
If the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset does not meet this operating range, try the following
troubleshooting activities:
•
Check surroundings for any other product that can cause interference.
•
Check the environment for obstructions that can limit the range.
•
Change the orientation of the base station antenna.
•
Move the base station to another location.
•
Select the alternate operating band of the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset.
Based on environmental characteristics, the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset may not be the
optimum solution for all users. If the desired level of mobility performance is not met, contact your
authorized Avaya distributor to discuss alternatives.
Radio range and coverage considerations
The effective operating radio range in your facility depends on the building construction and the
internal layout of the facility. An open office environment enhances operating radio ranges.
Density and interference
For this system to be interference-free, install a maximum of two base stations and eight handsets
per location. Each base station provides four independent time-compression multiplexing (TCM)
line connections to the telephone system.
Installation site parameters
To maximize the performance of the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset, evaluate the physical
characteristics of the site prior to determining the location of the base station installation. Consider
the following common characteristics:
•
wood versus metal construction
•
metal versus wood studs in wall construction
