Step 6: Purchase Additional Equipment

➤
Ensure that the following equipment has been purchased:
o PC (for the Strata AirLink Manager software)
BSIA grounding wire (for gauge requirements, see
o
o BSIA external alarm (see
o Cable for the Base Stations (see
o ONEAC five-pin analog protector for outside Base Station installation

Step 7: Select Suitable Locations

1. Pick locations for your system components that are dry and clean, well ventilated and
illuminated, and easily accessible.
The indoor/outdoor locations must not be subject to:
o Extreme heat or cold
o Corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
Excessive vibration
o
2. Do not place the components next to televisions, radios, or high-frequency equipment.

Step 8: Set Up Temporary Installation

It is recommended that you use the Toshiba Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand
Important!
instead of setting up a temporary installation. If the test stand is used, skip this step
and go to
Setting up a temporary installation helps to determine proper Base Station placement without
permanently cabling any components. A BER test can be easily conducted to determine the proper
Base Station placement for maximum signaling. The BER test is a password-protected function of
an initialized handset.
One BSIA or RWIU, one Base Station, and one handset is all that is required to conduct the BER
test. To initialize the BSIA system, see
Step 2 on Page 52.

Step 9: Use Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand

The Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand verifies the Base Station positioning prior to system
activation or during the site survey. It generates an audible tone for the handset to lock onto,
verifies BER status, and can be moved to validate the best locations for each Base Station.
