• thickness of concrete floors and walls (and type of covering, for example metallic wall paper)
• number of floors and walls
• open office (cubicles) versus closed office (floor to ceiling)
• steel partitions, elevator shafts, electric utility rooms
• radio frequency local area networks (RFLAN), extensive machinery, computer equipment, and
other cordless phones or wireless devices
Place the antenna correctly to endure that the performance of the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile
Handset is at its best. Pick a central location and mount the antenna using the following guidelines:
• In a two-base-station installation, space the base stations a minimum of 10 meters apart, and a
minimum of 10 meters from any other 2.4 GHz wireless equipment.
• Attach the base station a minimum of eight feet from the floor.
• Minimize the number of walls between the base station and handsets.
• Centralize the location of the base station to make the number of interfering walls equal in all
directions.
• Do not mount the base station on an outside wall.
• Do not mount or place the base station outdoors.
• Adjust the antenna for optimal transmission by moving it through 90-degree-angle planes (for
example, perpendicular to the wall, parallel to the wall, perpendicular to the floor, parallel to
the floor).
Environment layout considerations
The following facility layouts are examples of reference building footprints for which the Avaya
7406E Digital Mobile Handset is most suited.
Storefronts
This layout has fewer than 929 square meters (10 000 square feet) of floor space. This layout has
open environments with few interior barriers
