Chapter 2 Provisioning the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset
Installation Site Parameters
Physical characteristics of the site where the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset is to be installed,
or has been installed, must be evaluated to maximize the performance of the Avaya 7406 Digital
Mobile Handset. Outlined below are some of the most common characteristics to be considered:
•
wood vs. metal construction
•
metal vs. wood studs in wall construction
•
thickness of concrete floors and walls (and type of covering, e.g. Metallic wall paper)
•
number of floors and walls
•
open office (cubicles) vs. closed office (floor to ceiling)
•
steel partitions, elevator shafts, electric utility rooms
•
RF LANs (Radio Frequency Local Area Networks), extensive machinery, computer
equipment, and other cordless phones or wireless devices
•
Placement of the antenna is crucial for enhancing the performance of the Avaya 7406 Digital
Mobile Handset. Pick a central location and mount the antenna with the following guidelines:
•
Attach the base station at least eight feet from the floor.
•
Minimize the number of walls between the base station and handsets.
•
Centralize the location of the base station to make the number of interfering walls equal in all
directions.
•
Do not mount the base station on an outside wall.
•
Do not mount or place the base station outdoors.
•
Adjust the antenna for optimal transmission by moving it through 90-degree angle planes (i.e.
perpendicular to the wall, parallel to the wall, perpendicular to the floor, parallel to the floor)
RF LANs (Radio Frequency Local Area Networks)
RF LANs are primarily installed in large chain businesses such as retail and grocery where the RF
LAN is used for inventory equipment.
With the correct selection of the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset operating band, the RF LAN
operating at 900 MHz does not pose an operating issue for Avaya 7406 digital mobile handset nor
does the Avaya 7406 digital mobile handset pose issues for the RF LAN with respect to data
transmission capabilities. However, there may be instances where the Avaya 7406 digital mobile
handset user may hear an occasional slight audio click when operating in a RF LAN environment.
This should not inhibit the user's ability to hold a normal two-way conversation using the Avaya
7406 digital mobile handset.
Telephone-to-Base Range
The Avaya 7406 digital mobile handset utilizes an extremely efficient radio design to deliver the
maximum possible range while complying with the governing rules of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada. The effective operating range within a
site will largely depend on the environmental characteristics mentioned previously, such as
building construction and internal layout of the site. Typically, the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile
Handset will provide an effective operating range of 95 meters (300 feet).
