Enable Rssi Print-Out; Attenuating Rssi Values; Resetting All Zones To Full Rssi - Tynetec Advent xt Installation Manual

20. ZONED NETWORK RECEIVER INSTALLATION

ENABLE RSSI PRINT-OUT

Firstly set the Advent xt system to print the Zoned Network Receiver Signal Strengh (RSSI) using the DECT handset;
1. Press the LINE key, enter 8 1 and wait for the "Ready" prompt in the earpiece
2. Enter the code 7004 followed by the  key
3. Radio device RSSI print‐out enabled/disabled will be heard in the earpiece
4. Press the # key to toggle between enabled/disabled ‐ the new mode will be heard in the earpiece
5. Press the LINE key to clear the connection
IMPORTANT: remember to disable RSSI print‐out when testing is complete to save paper.
TESTING
Perform a walk test around zone 1 and activate a pendant at all extremes where you expect radio coverage.
The print‐out will show the RSSI values for all Zoned Network Receivers that pick‐up the pendant transmission.
Typical print‐out;
This call would be reported as Zone 1 (the one with the strongest Received Power).
The RSSI values will typically range from 120 (max strength) down to about 40. Note: if a Zoned Network Receiver does not
pick‐up the transmission nothing will be printed for that zone.
If neighbouring zones are receiving similar RSSI values their signal strength should be attenuated to give the maximum RSSI
value for the zone you are in. See "Attenuating RSSI values" below.
Repeat walk tests for all zones and attenuate RSSI values as necessary to try and achieve best coverage for each zone with
minimum overlap. The Received Power will be prefixed with a * on the print‐out when RSSI value is attenuated.
Please note the set‐up of Zoned Network Receivers is not an exact science as many factors affect radio range, in some
cases a compromise will have to be made between range and overlap. Full site coverage using Standard Nework Receivers
will always ensure no pendant alarm call goes un‐detected.

ATTENUATING RSSI VALUES

Press the RESET button on the Advent xt controller and perform the procedure below within 60 seconds.
1. Press the LINE key and enter 8 1 and wait for the "Ready" prompt in the earpiece
2. Enter the code 1060 followed by the  key
3. Enter the Zone number to have its RSSI value attenuated followed by the  key
4. The current attenuation value will be heard in the earpiece (zero = no attenuation, i.e. full strength)
5. If the setting is OK press the LINE key or enter a new attenuation value
6. Press the  key and the new attenuation value will be heard in the earpiece
7. Press the LINE key to clear the connection

Start with attenuation value of 10 and repeat the same walk test, attenuate further if necessary.

RESETTING ALL ZONES TO FULL RSSI

To set all Zoned Network Receivers back to full strength (no attenuation) press the RESET button on the Advent xt
controller and perform the procedure below within 60 seconds.
1. Press the LINE key and enter 8 1
2. Wait for the "Ready" prompt in the earpiece
3. Enter the code 1070 followed by the  key
4. "Radio Device Attenuation Values Disable ‐ Please Wait" will be heard in the earpiece
5. Wait for the "Ready" prompt in the earpiece
6. Press the LINE key to clear the connection
