Page 4: Introduction
KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance Introduction This manual provides a complete discussion of the KIRK Wireless Server 1500. The purpose of this manual is to provide general and specific information relating to the deployment, physical installation, and tuning of the KIRK Wireless Server 1500, herein referred to as the KWS1500. -
Page 5: Capacities And Specifications
Repeaters extend the radio coverage of KIRK Base Stations by up to 50 percent. KIRK Repeaters do not require cabling to the KIRK Wireless Server or the host Base Station. Repeaters require local power and are synchronized to the host Base Station wirelessly. - Page 6 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance When using linked KWS1500s, the solution uses the ARI number from the KWS1500 assigned as the Master. KIRK Handset IPEI number Each KIRK Handset has a unique Equipment Production Identification number. This number uniquely identifies each handset. The KWS1500 assigns each handset to the solution by its International Portable Equipment Identity (IPEI) number, or serial number.

Page 8: Radio Coverage And Physical Deployment
Radio Coverage Areas The deployment of Base Stations and Repeaters is a critical aspect of the KWS1500 Wireless Server. If the Wireless Server installation is to be successful, the deployment concepts explained here must be followed. To determine the permanent installation location of Base Stations within a given installation, a site survey must be taken to discover the optimal location and total quantity of Base Stations required for the installation. - Page 9 KIRK Repeaters do not provide additional active speech channels to the KIRK Wireless Server. Instead, the Repeaters extend up to 2 simultaneous traffic channels of the host Base Station. Base Stations do not handover speech channels to the Repeater, therefore when a Wireless Handset is off hook using a Repeater channel, the associated base Station channel also remains in use.
- Page 10 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance Multi Cell Environment In a multi cell environment, up to 3 Repeaters may be synchronized to a single Base Station to extend the radio coverage. Jump Configuration Repeaters may also be configured in a “jump” configuration. In this configuration the Repeater closest to the Base Station is the only Repeater in the chain that is synchronized to the Base Station.
- Page 11 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance handset moves about the various coverage zones Base Stations have time to hand the call off to another Base Station. . If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 meters / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another.
- Page 12 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance Horizontal and vertical overlap Base Stations are omni-directional, meaning RF signal is propagated vertically and horizontally from the Base Stations and Repeaters. Depending on building materials, the Base Station coverage area will typically extend to more than one floor of a structure. In the multi-zone building installation below, the coverage areas overlap horizontally, allowing the handset to roam the structure without interruption.
- Page 13 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance No overlap In areas where two Base Stations are separated by steel doors, gates, elevators, stairwells, etc., the handset may not have time to register with the next Base Station, resulting in the call being dropped.
- Page 14 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance Many small overlaps Be aware that many small overlaps in the same area can create problems if a handset can only identify two Base Stations. For example, if the handset is located in such an area and it is moved in a given direction, the alternative Base Station chosen may be different than the Base Station towards which the handset is traveling.
-
Page 15: Measuring Radio Coverage
KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance Shadows Be aware that “shadows” created by parts of the building can cause spots where no radio signals are able to penetrate. If a Base Station is mounted on a concrete or steel pillar, or even mounted near steel shelves, shadow areas may occur. -
