b. Dial the number of a working telephone. The telephone

must ring to confirm the registrati on.

3. Receive a call. a. If the portable has the same extension number as a desk

telephone, make sure the desk telephone is idle and Call Forward is not active.

b. On another working telephone, dial the telephone

number of the registered portable. The portable must ring to confirm the registration.

If you do not hear dial tone, or if the portable does not ring, refer to “Troubleshooting” in Meridian Companion Installation and Maintenance Guide. If you continue to experience difficulty registering the portable, contact your distributor.

Deregistering the C3060

You can deregister the C3060 in several ways:

• from the portable

• from the Administration Terminal (refer to Meridian Companion Administration Terminal Operations Guide)

• from Companion Manager (refer to C ompanion Manager Installation and Operations Guide)

Deregistering the C3060 from the portable clears registration information stored in the portable and the system. For example, you may want to deregister the portable before you assign it to another WTN on the same system.

Deregistering the C3060 from the Administration Terminal or from Companion Manager does not clear registration data from the portable. (You could use this method if the portable were lost or stolen or if you wanted to assign it to another system.)

Measuring RSSI for a C3060

The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a measurement of the signal strength the Base Station receives from the portable. The Base Station controls the power transmitting mode of the portable. When the Base Station receives a weak signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in high-power. When the Base Station receives a strong signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in low-power. The strongest RSSI value the display shows is -35 dBm. The weakest RSSI value the display shows is approximately -94 to -100 dBm.

Measuring undirected RSSI

You can measure the signal strength between a portable and a system-selected Base Station using undirected RSSI.

1. Press m.

The display show s

MENU.

2. Press , or . until the display shows Feature request .

3. Press SELCT . The display shows A- .

4. Press * 8 9 8. The display shows the cell number, the radio ID of the Base Station to which the portable is linked, the power mode (high or low), followed by the signal strength and the channel. For example, 8 15112 H 67 29.

MICS-XC Norstar-Companion Installer Guide P0881594 Issue 02

Registering individual portables /

You can also press ⁄ to view the information in “standard” display mode. This mode displays the radio ID of the Base Station to which the portable is linked, followed by the signal strength and power mode. For example, 15112 - 67 H . You can revert back to the initial display mode by pressing ƒ.

Hand-off occurs normally between the cells.

Note: In this example, the cell is 8, the card is 15, the port is

11, the radio is 2, and the channel is 29. The signal

strength measured by the Base Station is -67 dBm, and the H indicates the portable is transmitting in highpower mode (an L indicates low-power mode).

5. To end the connection, press k.

Measuring directed RSSI

You may want to measure the RSSI between a portable and a specific Base Station radio. For example, you may suspect that one of the two radios in a Base Station is not working properly. You can also use directed RSSI to prevent hand-off while you find a cell edge. To measure the RSSI of a specific radio, you must be in range of two Base Stations—the one you want to measure and another Base Station.

Note: You cannot measure the directed RSSI of both radios in

the Base Station at the same time.

Before you measure directed RSSI, use Meridian Companion Programming and Provisioning Record to find and note the following:
