Certifying the Installation

Introduction

Conduct a preliminary Site Survey Mode test according to the directions given in this section. Note any areas where coverage is conflicting or inadequate. Note any system difficulties and work with your wireless LAN and/or LAN system administrator to determine the cause and possible remedy. For information on possible sources of difficulties, see Troubleshooting.

Site Certification

Note

The installer should not leave the site before performing installation verification.

These tests must be performed in typical operating conditions, especially if heavy loads occur. Testing sequence and procedure is different for every installation. Generally, you should organize the test according to area and volume, placing numerous calls to others who can listen while you perform coverage tests. Note any areas with excessive static or clarity problems and report it to an Avaya engineer.

The coverage test will also require you to put the wireless phone in Site Survey mode and walk the entire coverage area to verify all access points.

Important Note

The installation is not complete until these certification steps have been performed. Do NOT hand out wireless phones at a site that has not been certified.

Solving Coverage Issues

Coverage issues are best resolved by adding and/or relocating access points.

Overlap issues may be resolved by re-assigning channels to the access points or by relocating the access points.
