7. Test
System
The system should now be tested to ensure that it is functioning correctly. Power cycle
the system. Verify that all Base Stations download and go to a running status. This takes
about 30 seconds after connecting the Base Station cable to the Base Station’s RJ-45
socket. During this period the Base Station’s LED will flash in several sequences. At the
end of this period the LED will be flashing yellow.
Test each Base Station:
While standing near the Base Station, use a registered Wireless Telephone and go
off-hook. Verify a clear dial tone. The Base Station’s LED should flash green.
Verify proper registration and operation of each Wireless Telephone by performing the
following test:
1. Press the
START
key on each Wireless Telephone. The extension number should
clear and you should hear dial tone. On some digital systems, depending on how
the telephone system is programmed, you may have to select a line to get dial
tone.
2. Place a call to each Wireless Telephone to verify ring, answer, clear transmit, and
clear receive audio.
3. Verify all programmed features on each Wireless Telephone.
4. Press the
END
key. The line indictor should turn off.
7.1. Voice-test each Base Station
Walk around the installation site with a Wireless Telephone while making voice calls to a
deskset. Verify that both ends of the conversation are of good quality on each Base
Station.
7.2. Run Listen-Verify Diagnostic
The listen-verify diagnostic is used to determine if Base Stations are performing
correctly. See
Link WTS – Like 3000: Operator’s Console
for details. When the test is
run, each each Base Station stops transmitting for a short time and listens for other Base
Stations. The system checks signal strength levels between Base Stations to ensure that
no Base Station is installed too close to another. If Base Stations are too close, one Base
Station will be disabled (“locked out”) and an alarm will be activated, unless the Base
Station in question has been designated as an “isolated” Base Station.
Base Stations with diagnostic listen values of less than –40 dbm are close to being locked
out. If the Base Station is only a few dbm away from locking out, it should be
repositioned to get a lower signal strength to avoid the lockout.
The listen-verify test can be run manually or the system can automatically run it at the
same time each day. See
Operator’s Console
for detailed information on how to
manually or automatically run the listen verify diagnostic, and how to interpret results.
