9. Certifying the NetLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephones

Conduct a preliminary Site Survey Mode test according to the directions given below. 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. See the section Troubleshooting Wireless Telephone Problems for clues to possible sources of difficulties.

9.1Site Certification

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 Customer Service.

The coverage test will also require you to put the Wireless Telephone in Site Survey Mode and walk the entire coverage area to verify all access points.

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

9.2Site Survey Mode

Test signal strength in the covered area by performing a Site Survey. Put a Wireless Telephone in Site Survey Mode (see NetLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephone Configuration section) and walk the entire coverage area while viewing the display.

The FCN key toggles between the three coverage modes described below. The Wireless Telephone will remain in Site Survey mode until it is powered off. When testing is complete, press Power Off to power off the Wireless Telephone.

Numbers racing across the Wireless Telephone display indicate AP information is being obtained. A Waiting message indicates the system is not configured properly and the Wireless Telephone cannot find any APs.

Detect dBm coverage

As you walk the perimeter, the two-line display will show the top four access points that the Wireless Telephone can contact in a code as illustrated below.
