5 Site Survey Using the KX-TCA255/KX-TD7590


The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link
to the CS for site survey. In the Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and
signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of the other slots
can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs
temporarily as planned during site planning, set the PS to the Radio Signal
Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage area. Then, record
the results on the map of the installation site.
Testing the Radio Signal Strength
After locating the CS(s) temporarily, execute the Radio Signal Test using the PS. The
PS scans whether there is a CS that can link with on channel 0 right after entering the
Radio Signal Test mode. The channel to be scanned can be changed by pressing the
appropriate keys 0 through 9.

Notes
*1: Channel number
*2: Slot number
*3: When a slot is synchronised, "SYNC" is displayed.
*4: Radio signal strength level
*5: Frame error (0000 to 9999)/Frame counter (0000 to 9999). Frame error indicates
the number of errors out of 10 000 radio signal receptions. An increased number of
frame errors indicates greater radio signal interference and more frequent noise
during conversation. The ideal number of frame error is "0000".
CAUTION
Storing the scan data will clear all directory
data.
2
Measure the radio signal strength by moving to and away from the CS.
.
a.Move to the CS until the point the radio signal strength level becomes "12".
b.Move away from the CS and identify the CS coverage area within which the radio
signal strength level is greater than "8". Draw the area on the map.
Move away from the CS and identify the CS coverage area within which the radio
c.
signal strength level is greater than "3". Draw the area on the map.

3
Repeat the steps 1 and 2 for other CSs, and relocate the CSs when necessary.
.
a Overlap adjacent CS coverage areas where the radio signal strength level is "8" by
. 5 m to 10 m.

b Overlap the CS coverage areas of at least 2 CSs at any location in the installation
. site.
Make sure that the radio signal strength level is greater than "3" at any location in
c.
the service area demanded by the user.
Notes
If a channel is set, the results of measurement for the 24 slots on the channel are
•saved each time. If the same channel is set, the new results override the previous
ones. Therefore, a measurement of 10 channels × 24 slots in total can be made.
If correct results cannot be obtained (e.g., there are many error counters), change

the location of the CS and repeat the site survey to select the best location.

Clearing the Stored Scan Data


When "CLEAR SCAN DATA" is displayed after turning on the PS, you are required to
clear the scan data.
