Measuring directed RSSI
You may want to measure the RSSI between a portable and a
specific base station radio. For example, you may suspect that
one of the two radios in a base station is not working properly.
You can also use directed RSSI to prevent hand-off while you
find a cell edge. To measure the RSSI of a specific radio, you
must be in range of two base stations—the one you want to
measure and another base station.
Note: You cannot measure the directed RSSI of both radios in
the base station at the same time.
Before you measure directed RSSI, use the Programming
Record to find and note the following:
•
the five-digit ID of the base station radio you want to
measure. Do this by mapping the base station location to
the TCM port.
The first four digits indicate the TCM port to which the
base station is connected.
The last digit indicates the number of the radio on the base
station.
For example, the number 03142 on the base station is
connected to TCM port 0314, and 2 is the radio number.
The number might be printed on a label attached to the
base station mounting bracket.
