Using the Site Survey Kit
Performing the Survey
Position the Survey Base Station in the potential position for a base station
installation. Connect the power supply. If possible also connect an audio
source via either the telephone line or audio jack sockets.
1. With a subscribed handset on-hook, dial
*99981*
and press
ENTER
.
2. The handset display shows the signal quality.
RPN: 01 <Base station number.
Q52: 52 <Speech quality.
RSSI: 64 <Signal strength.
3. Take the handset off-hook as this will ensure more realistic figures.
– If you have connected an audio source you will hear it whilst off-
hook. Use this facility to check the audio quality (only one handset
can be off-hook and receive the audio source at any time).
4. Check the boundaries of the Survey Base Stations coverage where
Q52 is greater than 52
and
RSSI is greater than 64
. Mark this area
on the building plans and check that you have entered all areas that
the base station might have to serve.
5. Repeat this process with the Survey Base Station in a new location.
Check that the
overlap between coverage areas is at least 10
metres
.
6. To return the handset to normal operation, press and hold
<
until you
hear a short bleep.
