Panasonic KX-TDA100 Site Survey, Testing the Radio Signal Strength, Using the KX-TD7685/KX-TD7695

2.10.5 Site Survey

2.10.5 Site Survey

The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link to the CS for site survey. In Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of the other slots can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs temporarily as planned during site planning, set the PS to Radio Signal Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage area. Then, record the results on the map of the installation site.

Testing the Radio Signal Strength

After locating the CS(s) temporarily, execute the Radio Signal Test using the PS. Directly after entering Radio Signal Test mode, the PS scans channel 0 for a CS that it can connect to. The channel to be scanned can be changed by pressing the appropriate keys 0 through 4.

1.Enter Radio Signal Test mode.

*1 : Channel number

*2 : Slot number

*3 : When a slot is synchronised, "SYNC" is displayed.

*4 : Radio signal strength level (12 to 00)

*5 : Frame error (0000 to 9999)/Frame counter (0000 to 9999). Frame error indicates the number of errors out of 10 000 radio signal receptions. An increased number of frame errors indicates greater radio signal interference and more frequent noise during conversation. The ideal number of frame errors is "0000".

*6 : Error rate (%) = Frame error (0000 to 9999) / Frame counter (0000 to 9999) × 100

Note

•Storing the scan data will clear all directory data.

•The PS will not operate in normal mode if scan data is saved on it. For details on clearing scan data, refer to "Clearing the Stored Scan Data".

2.Measure the radio signal strength by moving towards and away from the CS.

a.Move to the CS until the radio signal strength level becomes "12".

b.Move away from the CS and identify the CS coverage area within which the radio signal strength level is greater than "8". Draw the area on the map.
