NSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Overview
The installation of System DECT begins with a Site Survey to establish a temporary site map
including initial locations for Base Stations. After the site map is developed, the WTIB(s) is
installed and the iPECS is configured to support System DECT (refer to your system
iPECS
eMG80 Administration and Programming Manual
DECT employs RF signals to communicate between the handsets and Base Stations.
for establishing DECT data in Web Admin).
Once configuration is complete, the Base Stations are mounted in their preliminary locations and
an RF coverage survey is conducted to refine the Base Station locations. With the Base Stations
placed and installed in their permanent locations, handsets can be registered to System DECT.
In order to address the variation in range, prior to installation, a site survey should be conducted
to establish a map with the preliminary locations for the DECT Base Stations. After installation,
the handset is employed in the Cell Tool mode to define the actual RF radiation pattern and Base
Station locations can be adjusted to provide seamless coverage.
3.2 Site Planning for Base Stations
The purpose of Site Planning is to provide you with information and explain tasks that should be
considered to ensure the best operation of the system. Read the following information before
installing the unit.
CAUTION
The Base Station should be installed indoors and protected from surge because it
is designed to be an indoor station.
3.2.1 Cell-coverage Region Survey (CRS)
In order to obtain the most complete coverage in your facility, this Section explains the measuring
procedures using the Cell-coverage Region Survey (CRS) tool of GDC-600TBE. The temporary
positions of Base Stations should be determined prior to this measurement according to
instructions outlined in this section. The temporary positions will be adjusted according to the
measurement findings, if necessary. Before reading this part, it is recommended to get used to
the manipulation of the CRS tool. GDC-450H/480H/500H supports CRS function.
