•Make sure all other Base Stations are turned OFF.

•Make sure that the Base Station and RF Terminal you are using are set to the same channel. Base Stations and RF Terminals are shipped from the factory set to channel 0. If you need to change the channel, see Appendix A; Channel and Jumper Changes.

The Base Station does not need to be connected to a host computer to do a Site Survey. Simply connect the Base Station to wall power using the 5v power adapter. Locate the Base where you think you will have the best range and power it up. Turn on the RF Terminal and press a key at the opening screen. At the MODE

select option 4 to go to the Site Survey screen.

If the Base Station is powered up, walk to the area where you want to perform your first test, (start at 50 ft. or greater). When in position, stop and look at the RF Terminal display. It should read:

Press Enter When Ready or F1 to Exit

Press the ENTER key to start the test. During the test, (about 10 seconds), hold still during the test – moving around can result in inaccurate results. During the test the RF Terminal is transmitting many messages and waiting for acknowledgement from the Base Station. During the test the following message displays on the RF Terminal screen:

Site Testing in Progress,

Please Wait…………..

Please Wait… will display on your screen until the test is finished. If it takes more than a few seconds, there is something wrong. When the test is finished, you will see the results displayed in the following format:

1st try Good : nn%

2nd try Good : nn% Press Enter When Ready or F1 to Exit

The first line shows the percent of successful transmissions. As long as you are getting at least 90%, you will have excellent results in the location tested. You can still get decent performance with results around 50% but there will be some slight delays due to re-transmissions.

If you don’t get the minimum results shown above:

1.Try hanging the Base Station upside down or tilted toward the area of usage – this alone can double the effective range.

2.Try locating the Base Station closer to the area of difficulty. Remember that moving the Base Station will require you to recheck the other locations already tested.

3.If none of the above works, you will have to consider using a Relay.
