9.4.13 Baselining the Installation

Once you have completed the installation, WaveRider recommends recording the following
information:
• EUM IP addresses
• EUM radio settings
• RSSI readings
• Tx retry rate readings (displayed with the RSSI readings)
If you have problems with the EUM at a later date, you can compare the latest site settings
and RSSI readings with the original settings in the site installation record.
You can record and save this information in several ways:
• using the WaveRider Configuration Utility. Through the Configuration Utility, you can
also upload and store the EUM's complete configuration file. You can also do this
locally, through a serial connection to the EUM, or remotely through a Telnet session.
• through the EUM command-line interface locally, using:

Cordless phones operating in the 900MHz ISM band can disrupt service to
the EUM if precautions are not taken.
Browse to http://speed-test.net, and turn on the cordless phones in sequence,
while monitoring the downlink throughput. Since there is naturally a wide
variation in the downlink speed, for reasons more associated with the network
than with the performance of the LMS4000 wireless service, repeat the tests
several times to confirm whether or not the end user's cordless phones are
going to affect the EUM performance.
If the cordless phones do affect the performance of the EUM, move the
cordless phone base station to a location as far from the antenna as possible.
Instruct the end user to avoid using the cordless handset in the proximity of
the antenna, particularly when the EUM is being used.
