Performing a Site Test

As we have said before, the Site Test is your most valuable tool for evaluating your planned area of operation. All you need to perform a Site Test is a RF Terminal, a Base Station and it's 5v power supply. There are a few things you need to do though before you begin:

•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 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 Test. 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.

•Press NO at the SIGN ON? prompt

•Press NO at the SETUP MODE? prompt

•Press NO at the ONE WAY MODE? prompt

•Press YES at the SITE TESTING? Prompt

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 the ENTER key to start the test. During the test, (about 2 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:
