How the CDT works

553-3601-106 Standard 2.00 September 1996
The CDT consists of the following components:
• a stand
• a CDT transceiver
Note: The CDT transceiver will not function as a Base Station. You
cannot connect it to the Controller.
• a battery inside a battery holder
• a portable
• CDT documentation
When used with the CDT transceiver, the portable continuously displays two
values. The signal strength is on the left and the cyclic redundancy check error
rate is on the right. The signal strength is the signal transmitted by the portable
and received by the CDT transceiver. For an explanation of the cyclic
redundancy check, refer to Companion Deployment Tool User Guide.
Refer to Companion Deployment Tool User Guide for instructions on
assembling the tool, establishing a link, setting the cell boundary value, and
choosing the external antenna with the CDT transceiver.
The CDT uses the internal antennas as a default, but this default can be
changed to the external antenna. The cell boundary value is the signal strength
used with the CDT to determine the cell boundary and can also be changed.
When you have established a link with the portable, enter the numbers as
shown in Table 3 into the dialpad to set which antennas and what cell boundary
value you want to use.
