Using The Deployment Tool - Nortel CS 1000 Manual

272 Deployment tool
The display, shown in
271), indicates the following.
•
A dot within a circle indicates a locked signal.
•
The antenna symbol indicates a link establishment.
•
The number 10 indicates an RSSI value.
•
The dash, equal sign and shaded box icons indicate signal strength.
The maximum RSSI is 10. As signal strength diminishes, the number 10
decreases and the icons disappear. For example, at signal strength 7, the
three shaded boxes that are on the right side of the display disappear. At
signal strength 5, all the shaded boxes and one of the equal sign icons
disappear.
The signal strength diminishes as the distance between the handset and
the basestation increases. The tone remains unchanged until the handset
is out of range of the basestation.

Using the deployment tool

Assemble the deployment tool as shown in
deployment tool" (page
Position the basestation antenna upwards. Place the basestation as close
to the wall as possible and at the height recommended for basestations.
To test the deployment tool, stand in an open area approximately 3 to five
5 from the deployment tool tripod. Establish a link between the basestation
and the handset. Keep the deployment tool basestation in plain view.
Ensure no obstructions exist (including people).
Walk away from the basestation and observe the deployment handset link
display. As the deployment handset moves away from the basestation,
the RSSI value changes. After the RSSI value changes from 7 to 6 (--80
dBm to --85 dBm) and the last shaded block disappears, the cell boundary
is reached.
After the cell boundary is reached, stop and listen to the tone. Ensure
the tone is clear with no tone changes, tone breakup, modulation, mutes
or clicks.
Do not select a cell edge that has an RSSI reading of less than 6.
However, keep the following in mind:
•
Some environments can cause poor tone at a RSSI meter reading of 7
to 10. In this case, contact the Nortel Help desk for assistance.
•
The tone stops after the radio link is lost.
