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

• L: Lost Counter — Lost frame counter
• 0000: Base RFPI — If the last character is a '0' the survey is monitoring the
base station. Otherwise, it is monitoring a repeater. A unique value indicates
each repeater.
• 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.
