3 Site Planning
Choosing the best site for the CS requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.
Understanding Radio Waves
Characteristics of Radio Waves
The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the building.
Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment may create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.
The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.
1.Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.
2.Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.
3.Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.
1. Reflection
CS
Column
2. Diffraction
3. Penetration
Relationships Between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials
•The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number of obstacles.
•Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.
•Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.
•Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
•The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from various materials.

The example below shows the size of the area where one CS can synchronize with other CSs, if it is installed in an area with no obstacles.
Note
Radio signal strength levels are measured during the site survey (refer to "5 Site Survey Using the KX-TD7685/KX-TD7695/KX-TD7696").
A Coverage Area
Radio signal strength level is greater than "3".
(About 50 m to 60 m [164 ft to 197 ft])
A
B
Gray Zone: Conversation will be intermittent
BGood Coverage Area
Radio signal strength level is between "5" (about 40 m to 50 m [131 ft to 164 ft]) and "11"
(about 20 m to 30 m [65 ft to 98 ft]). Good synchronization quality
can be maintained.
COut of Service:
Cannot be synchronized.
Radio Signal Strength Levels
Level: 12 or higher |
May be reset due to synchronization failure of CSs |
Level: 05 to 11 |
Good |
Level: 03 to 04 |
Air synchronization is established. However, it is necessary to monitor |
|
the status of synchronization using the Maintenance Console. |
|
This is necessary because IP-CSs may be reset due to synchronization |
|
failure if the radio signal strength fluctuates depending on changes in |
|
the installation environment such as opening/closing doors. |
Level: 00 to 02 |
May be reset due to synchronization failure of CSs |

CS Classifications
CSs are assigned to any one of the following three classifications for implementing air synchronization:
CS Class |
Description |
|
|
Master CS1 (synchronization |
Generates clock signal. |
source clock) |
|
|
|
Master CS2 (backup for |
Receives clock signal from Master CS1 (can also generate |
Master CS1) |
clock signal if Master CS1 malfunctions). |
|
|
Slave CS |
Receives clock signal from other CSs. |
|
|
Synchronization Hierarchy
Air synchronization has a hierarchical structure with a Master CS1 at the top. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the site survey with extreme care to ensure stable synchronization since one disruption of the radio link could loss of service to a wide area.

Search Order (Primary/Secondary)
The search order used for synchronizing CSs must be set. If the CS cannot synchronize with the Primary CS for some reason, it will try to synchronize with the Secondary CS.

For example, if synchronization is completely lost by malfunction of the Master CS etc., handover will not work and ongoing calls will be disconnected after a while. In addition, new calls cannot be made or received. Therefore, it is recommended to not only assign the Primary CS but also the Secondary CS as an alternative source for synchronizing CSs.
Conditions for Configuring the Air Synchronization
•Master CS2 must be within range of Master CS1.
•It is recommended that Master CSs be placed in the middle of the installation site.
•Both the Primary CS and Secondary CS should be assigned Slave CSs.
•All traditional CSs are automatically assigned and fixed as Master CS1.
•When using IP-CSs and traditional CSs in the same area, make sure that you do not create a Master CS2.

3 Site Planning
•It is recommended that the number of levels in the synchronization hierarchy is minimized for stable air synchronization. The maximum number of levels is 4.
Notice
A repeater can only receive the clock signal from one source CS (Secondary CS cannot be set). Therefore, when you extend the coverage area using repeaters, minimize the number of IP-CSs that are synchronized with the repeater.
Note
For your convenience, IP-CSs are automatically classified according to the order of their registration to the PBX. Therefore, it is recommended to register the CS that you want to assign to Master CS1 first. For example, when using IP-CSs and traditional CSs in the same area, connect the traditional CSs to the PBX first.
