3 Site Planning

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.

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.

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.
