3.9 Connection of DECT Portable Stations

3.9.2Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. Site surveys can be conducted using the KX-TCA255/KX-TCA256/KX-TCA355/KX-TD7590 PS. An incorrectly performed site survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

1. Investigate the installation site

Refer to "3.9.3 Site Planning".

a.Obtain a map of the CS installation site.

b.Identify the service area required by the user on the map.

c.Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.

2. Prepare for site survey

Refer to "3.9.4 Before Site Survey".

a.Check and assign the CS ID number to the PS.

b.Assign a channel number to each CS by setting the DIP switches on the back of the CS.

c.Supply electricity to each CS using an AC adaptor/battery box or by connecting them to a CSIF/ DLC/DHLC card.

d.Install each CS temporarily as planned.

Notes

Install at least 2 m above the floor.

Keep the antennas in the upright position.

3.Conduct the site survey

Refer to "3.9.5 Site Survey Using the KX-TCA255/KX-TCA256/KX-TCA355/KX-TD7590".

a.Test the radio signal strength using the PS.

Confirm that the radio signal strength level is "12" near the CS.

b.By walking away from the CS with the PS, check the radio signal strength. The radio signal strength weakens as you walk away from the CS.

c.Map the CS coverage area at radio signal strength levels "3" and "8".

d.Make sure that adjacent CS coverage areas overlap where the radio signal strength level is "8" by at least 5 m.
