6. Certifying the NetLink e340 and i640
Wireless 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.
6.1

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 a SpectraLink service engineer.
The coverage test will also require you to put the Wireless Telephone in
mode and walk the entire coverage area to verify all access points.
The NetLink Wireless Telephone performing the site survey must be
configured for ESSID Learn Once or Static. Site survey mode is not
available in Learn Always.
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.
6.2

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
FCN
Telephone will remain in Site Survey mode until it is powered off. When testing is
complete, press
Power Off / End 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
Waiting
Wireless Telephone cannot find any APs.
