Repeater Installation - Avaya D100 Installing And Administering

Hardware preparation and installation
2. Press one of the following soft keys to enter the mode described:
• Soft key 1: The handset enters the Normal mode where the handset is handed off to
repeaters in the same way that would occur during normal use. This mode is helpful in
understanding hand-off areas on the site.
• Soft key 2: The handset enters the Hold mode. The Hold mode suspends handset
hand-offs to other repeaters or base stations and continues to monitor the same signal
source, regardless of strength or error rate. Use this mode to determine a particular
device's coverage area.
• Soft key 3: The handset enters the Peak Search mode, where the handset connects to
the device with the highest-strength signal. The handset then enters the Normal
operating mode. Use this feature to connect to the nearest device immediately.
• Soft key 4: Press 4 to alternate between the Normal and Hold modes.

Repeater installation

A successful registration results in the blue LED on the repeater flashing three times, then the
LED turns solid to indicate that the repeater has connected to the base station. A failed
registration, which can occur if the repeater cannot find a base station to register with, results in 10
fast flashes of the blue LED before the repeater returns to its original state. The blue LED flashes
slowly to indicate that the repeater is registered and is searching for the base station, or that the
repeater is in the process of connecting to the base station.
You do not need to de-register repeaters. The base station only keeps track of repeaters that
register to the base station. The base station overwrites repeater registration parameters each
time a repeater registers.
Note:
When a base station reboots, the base station determines the repeater topology. If you move
repeaters, you should reboot the base station so that it can adjust to the change in topology.
When you reboot a base station, all linked repeaters enter a searching mode and choose the
most appropriate master unit.
When a repeater is not registered, the repeater LED blinks once when the power is connected and
then stays off. To register a repeater to a base station, see
instructions on performing the survey and determining the strength of the available signals, see
Signal strength survey
