ON-SITE MEASURING
Installing Base Station
After planning the actual locations for the base stations, it is recommended to confirm the circumstances
using on-site measurements. Usually, base stations must be spaced out at intervals of approximately 2.5m
horizontally when deploying multiple bases and an ideal height between 2m and 2.5m.
It is recommended as well to have base stations close to the center of the area as much as possible.
For outdoor deployments, also better to choose a central position and make sure that the chosen location
is protected from the weather and corresponds to the type of protection of the outdoor base station. The
installation site is chosen sufficiently high to be protected from acts of vandalism.
For indoor deployments, avoid installing the base station near cable ducts, metal cabinets and other large
metal objects. Also, customer’s aesthetic aspects and wishes could be considered.
Using Handset for Reception Measurement
During the measurement process, users could use the factory function provided by DP720 handset in order
to measure the value of the received signal strength RSSI which will help assess the quality of transmission
around the site.
The value of the RSSI is expressed in dBm and below table gives an initial guideline for the quality of the
wireless connection for various RSSI values:
