Alternatively, use the “site survey” mode on the beltpack (see “Doing
a Site Survey to Determine Coverage Areas” below). It is often best
to begin with one antenna in place, and then place additional units to
enhance coverage.
2. Walk through all of the areas where beltpack users will typically be
moving, and note any areas of weak signal, dropout, or
disconnection from the system. Pay special attention to the overlap
areas between antenna coverage zones, making sure sufficient
signal strength is there from each of the transceiver/antennas to
make a clean handoff between them for the beltpack.
3. Finally, when the coverage zones have been properly and effectively
set up, it is time to program the system. See Chapter 5,
“Programming a System from the Base Station” for instructions.
DOING A SITE SURVEY TO DETERMINE
COVERAGE AREAS
Some CellCom 10 users may want to test coverage areas more
extensively before setting up a a complete system. Testing a system in
the setting in which it will be located helps to set up the system
successfully to meet operational needs. Factors in the local setting
may affect the areas a system can cover, so it is important to plan a
site setup accordingly.
Doing a complete site survey, as described below, helps to set up an
optimal system.
TESTING COVERAGE AREAS OF INDIVIDUAL
ANTENNAS
1. Place the CellCom 10 base station in a convenient location.
Register one beltpack to the base station.
2. Place one antenna in the center of the coverage area.
3. Put the beltpack into “site survey mode” by first pressing the power
button on the back of the beltpack, and then pressing the right
front-panel scroll button.
• When this is done the beltpack’s display shows the “site survey”
screen. Figure 9-1 shows a beltpack’s site survey screen.
• A beltpack can also be put into “site survey mode” after it has
powered up by simultaneously holding down the two front-panel
scroll buttons, and selecting first “View Status” and then
“Connection Info” from the base station’s front panel display.
4. Walk around the antenna with the beltpack, monitoring the
beltpack’s
signal strength
and
error rate
at various distances.
The
signal strength
is shown in the Received Signal Strength
Indication (RSSI) field in the leftmost lower corner of the beltpack’s
