stations/Repeaters should be installed vertically in the middle of the space below the drop
ceiling.
•
Mounting Positions:
when Base stations and Repeaters are mounted vertically on a wall, the
radio coverage in front of these devices is twice as large as the coverage behind them. The
base stations should always be mounted higher than the obstructive objects in the area –
e.g. minimally 2m above the floor. Repeaters should be installed in the middle of the
corridors and small rooms.
•
Metallic Structures/Objects:
base stations and Repeaters should not be deployed near large
metallic objects
•
Reinforced Concrete Structures:
these structures create a high attenuation factor inside the
building. They reduce the radio coverage range of the Base stations and Repeaters thus a
higher number of base stations or Repeaters are required in the building. Lighter types of
construction materials require fewer base stations since attenuation figures are considerably
lower.
3. W-AIR Network configuration
3.1. Provision base stations
Note for W-AIR Base Station Small Business (SB):
Provisioning of Base Stations SB is possible
only starting from the WMS Release 3.80.28622.08. Before provisioning of the Base Station
SB it is necessary to upgrade the WMS to the last version.
Go to menu
Devices
of the WMS, click “Add” and provision the gateway following
Automatic or Semi-Automatic mode of provisioning. Provisioned base stations appear in the
table:
3.2. Create a W-AIR Network
Note for W-AIR Base Station Small Business (SB):
For Base Station SB the W-AIR Network is created automatically with the default Pin Code
0000” (the Pin is used to register handsets). Since Base Station SB is single cell, the base
stations are not displayed in the menu “W-AIR Networks” and thus you can skip this step and
proceed to the next chapter (3.3. Register/Deregister a Handset).
