10. Certifying the 3616/26 Wireless IP Telephones

Conduct a preliminary Site Survey Mode test according to the directions given below. Note any areas
where coverage is conflicting or inadequate. Note any system difficulties and work with your wireless
LAN and/or LAN system administrator to determine the cause and possible remedy. See the section
Wireless Telephone Problems for clues to possible sources of difficulties.

Site Certification

The installer should not leave the site before performing installation verification.
These tests must be performed in typical operating conditions, especially if heavy loads occur. Testing
sequence and procedure is different for every installation. Generally, you should organize the test
according to area and volume, placing numerous calls to others who can listen while you perform
coverage tests. Note any areas with excessive static or clarity problems and report it to an Avaya
engineer.
The coverage test will also require you to put the Wireless Telephone in
the entire coverage area to verify all access points.
The installation is not complete until these certification steps have been performed. Do not
hand out Wireless Telephones at a site that has not been certified.

Site Survey Mode

Test signal strength in the covered area by performing a Site Survey. Put a Wireless Telephone in Site
Survey mode (see Wireless Telephone Configuration section) and walk the entire coverage area while
viewing the display.
The key toggles between the three coverage modes described below. The Wireless Telephone will
FCN
remain in Site Survey mode until it is powered off. When testing is complete, press
to power off the Wireless Telephone.
Call
Numbers racing across the Wireless Telephone display indicate AP information is being obtained. A
message indicates the system is not configured properly and the Wireless Telephone cannot

find any APs.

Telephone can contact in a code as illustrated below.
