Placing 2 Nd And Following Base Station . .......................................................................................... 6 - Snom M700 Deployment Manual

2. Use the cursor down/up to select the base MAC address for the base station.
3. Select the intended base.
4. The handset display will show the "RSSI" (Received signal strength indication) level of the base.
5. Optional: By pressing "hook off" key (green key) an audio loopback connection will be
established with the base station.
Note: By plugging in a headset modified for a MP3 player connection audio from the
handset/MP3 player will be looped back to the handset earpiece. This makes it possible
to listen to audio at the same time as reading the RSSI levels of the display.
Snom recommends using a building plan and checking the base station coverage using the handset
signal strength indication RSSI level from each base station.
2. Placing 2
In order to place the 2

st
Place the 1 SNOM M700 base station exact at the desired position, and power on the base

Set up the handset as described in previous section.

Use the building plan drawing and check the base station coverage using the handset RSSI
levels. Mark up the acceptable spots and non‐acceptable spots for placing the 2
on the plan drawing. Acceptable spots are spots where the handset shows RSSI levels better
than 075 dBm (meaning lower numeric number) and where you verified via audio loopback
that the reception is clear.
It is recommended to have a RSSI value better than/equal to ‐75dBm, and never below ‐90dBm.:
Lower numeric number than 075 dBm on the handset screen. Please note that the minus is not
shown on the screen.
Typically, installations such as office buildings, warehouses and hospitality should be equipped with
both base stations and repeaters on several floors to create uniform and complete radio coverage.
Do not link two or more multicell base station via a repeater. A repeater shall be only used to extend
the coverage of a single base station. If Ethernet is available it is recommended to use a multicell
station rather than a repeater.
Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of base stations. In such applications, the base
stations and/or repeaters cover an extended range due to the extended line‐of‐sight radio propagation
capability.
