KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
2. Capacities and Specifications  
2.1 Overview  
A KIRK Wireless Solution, based on the KWS1500, is an adjunct solution for medium-to-  
large businesses with a need from anywhere between 1 and 128 handset users. The KIRK  
Expansion Board and the KIRK Link Card make it possible to expand the solution  
capacity to reach registration of up to 128 and 700 wireless users depending on the  
interface technology. The KWS1500 is deployed behind a new or existing host PBX  
telephone switch through analog station port connections provided by the host PBX.  
A KIRK Wireless Solution consists of a KWS1500 operating in the Digital Enhanced  
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) frequency band of 1.8GHz or 1.9GHz, and  
supports up to 16 KIRK Base Stations to deliver radio coverage for up to 64 KIRK  
Handsets.  
To eliminate “blind spots” or to cover low traffic areas, KIRK Repeaters can be added to  
extend the radio coverage area of Base Stations. Up to six Repeaters can be connected per  
host Base Station (96 Repeaters total).  
KIRK Base Stations  
The Base Station is a compact device that contains radio frequency (RF) circuitry and  
radio antennas. The main function of the Base Station is to provide communication of  
audio and data signals between the mobile handsets and the KWS1500 Solution. Each  
KIRK Base Station supports four simultaneous voice conversations.  
Up to three Base Stations may be placed adjacent to one another without causing  
channel interference. This provides the ability to support up to 12 simultaneous voice  
conversations in a given area. A fourth Base Station must be placed a minimum of 23  
meters / 75 feet from a group of three Base Stations to avoid channel interference.  
KIRK Repeaters  
Repeaters extend the radio coverage of KIRK Base Stations by up to 50 percent. KIRK  
Repeaters do not require cabling to the KIRK Wireless Server or the host Base Station.  
Repeaters require local power and are synchronized to the host Base Station wirelessly.  
A KIRK Repeater may only be synchronized to a single Base Station.  
Handsets  
The KIRK Handset is a lightweight, ergonomically designed wireless unit that includes a  
LCD display and keypad. The handset is compatible with the DECT Generic Access  
Profile (GAP) standard.  
2.2 Identification Numbers  
KIRK ARI number  
The KIRK Access Rights Identity (ARI) number is an 11-digit number that specifically  
identifies the KIRK Solution. Each KWS1500 cabinet produces a unique ARI number that  
identifies it from any other KWS1500. The ARI number can be found on the back panel of  
the KWS1500 cabinet.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
When using linked KWS1500s, the solution uses the ARI number from the KWS1500  
assigned as the Master.  
KIRK Handset IPEI number  
Each KIRK Handset has a unique Equipment Production Identification number. This  
number uniquely identifies each handset. The KWS1500 assigns each handset to the  
solution by its International Portable Equipment Identity (IPEI) number, or serial  
number. The IPEI number is printed on the label inside the battery compartment. It is  
also available by dialing the feature code *99984* on the idle handset, and pressing the  
OK button.  
The IPEI number is a 12-digit number. It appears on all KIRK handset equipment as  
follows:

3. Radio Coverage and Physical Deployment  
3.1 Radio Coverage Areas  
The deployment of Base Stations and Repeaters is a critical aspect of the KWS1500  
Wireless Server. If the Wireless Server installation is to be successful, the deployment  
concepts explained here must be followed.  
To determine the permanent installation location of Base Stations within a given  
installation, a site survey must be taken to discover the optimal location and total  
quantity of Base Stations required for the installation.  
KIRK Base Stations provide a radio coverage radius of approximately 47 meters / 150  
feet indoors or up to a 350-foot (106 meters) radius outdoors in direct line-of-sight  
conditions. However, it is extremely important to keep in mind that radio coverage is  
dependent on construction materials, method of construction and environment. These  
factors will always be involved in every installation. Therefore, it is not possible to relate  
one installation to another insofar as number of Base Stations or positioning of Base  
Stations. Each site is relatively unique.  
While an extensive guide to effective RF coverage planning is outside the scope of this  
manual, the following points should be taken into consideration when planning the site,  
prior to installation.  
Specifications listed reflect capacities of the KWS1500 solution when used in a  
Solo configuration unless otherwise designated.  
The Base Station provides a typical coverage radius of 150 feet (46 m) in a typical  
indoor office environment, and up to a 350-foot (107 m) radius in an open area (line-  
of-sight), extending in all directions from the Base Station. The exact coverage range  
depends on the building architecture and materials.  
The KWS1500 will support a maximum of 64 handsets per solution. .  
The KWS1500 supports a maximum of 16 Base Stations per solution, providing 64  
RF speech channels.  
A maximum of two KWS1500 solutions may be linked together.  
Handsets can move between coverage areas of different Base Stations while receiving  
continuous service and maintaining conversations in progress.  
For efficient handoff of conversations between Base Stations, deploy multiple Base  
Stations with sufficient overlap of coverage between them (i.e. plan for some areas to  
be covered by more than one Base Station). Overlaps are necessary to allow handsets  
the time necessary to handoff to a Base Station with a stronger signal.  
Avoid placing Base Stations near other electronic equipment, large machinery, etc.,  
as the range can be severely affected.  
Base Stations should be placed between 1,8 and 2,4 meters / 6 and 8 feet in height; if  
they are placed any lower, persons walking around could interfere with the radio  
signal. Antennas should always be mounted in a vertical orientation utilizing the  
supplied mounting bracket. Coverage area can be adversely affected if the Base  
Stations is mounted improperly.  
3.2 Deployment  
It is important to keep in mind that the coverage area of the KWS1500 and any repeater is  
flexible and affected b outside objects. It should be noted that within the course of this

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
guide coverage areas are represented by abstract areas and bear no resemblance to the  
actual physical coverage area provided by the KWS1500.  
Coverage Area Calculations  
One Base Station:  
Coverage A = (π x r2)  
Extending Radio Coverage with Repeaters  
A KIRK Repeater is a useful tool for extending a Base Station’s coverage area. It is  
therefore ideal where extra coverage is required in a low traffic area.  
KIRK Repeaters do not provide additional active speech channels to the KIRK Wireless  
Server. Instead, the Repeaters extend up to 2 simultaneous traffic channels of the host  
Base Station. Base Stations do not handover speech channels to the Repeater, therefore  
when a Wireless Handset is off hook using a Repeater channel, the associated base  
Station channel also remains in use. A Repeater only takes channels from a Base Station  
when there is active traffic on the Repeater.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
Multi Cell Environment  
In a multi cell environment, up to 3 Repeaters may be synchronized to a single Base  
Station to extend the radio coverage.  
Jump Configuration  
Repeaters may also be configured in a “jump” configuration. In this configuration the  
Repeater closest to the Base Station is the only Repeater in the chain that is synchronized  
to the Base Station. Subsequent Repeaters are synchronized to the previous Repeater in  
the chain.  
Radio coverage overlap  
Other factors involved in a deployment relate to radio coverage overlap. A coverage  
overlap occurs when the radio fields of multiple Base Stations overlap each other. Base  
Stations must be placed in such a way that the radio coverage from one Base Station to  
another overlaps by 9 to 14 meters / 30 to 45 feet. An overlap is required so that as the  
72160400_issue_B

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
handset moves about the various coverage zones Base Stations have time to hand the call  
off to another Base Station. .  
If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 meters / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of  
dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another. This is  
because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station.  
However, too much overlap results in a wasted coverage area.  
If the alternative Base Station is not found while crossing the overlap into another area, a  
channel handoff cannot take place and the connection to the solution will be dropped  
because the handset is now out-of-range.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
Horizontal and vertical overlap  
Base Stations are omni-directional, meaning RF signal is propagated vertically and  
horizontally from the Base Stations and Repeaters. Depending on building materials, the  
Base Station coverage area will typically extend to more than one floor of a structure. In  
the multi-zone building installation below, the coverage areas overlap horizontally,  
allowing the handset to roam the structure without interruption. The handsets will  
always try to acquire the Base Station with the strongest signal if there are channels  
available on the Base Station.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
No overlap  
In areas where two Base Stations are separated by steel doors, gates, elevators, stairwells,  
etc., the handset may not have time to register with the next Base Station, resulting in the  
call being dropped. This can be resolved by moving the Base Stations closer together, or  
by installing another Base Station near the obstruction.  
If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of  
dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another. This is  
because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station. Too  
much overlap results in a wasted coverage area, and too little results in dropped calls.  
Small overlaps  
In this example, two coverage areas meet at a perpendicular intersection such as a  
hallway or outside of a building corner. When moving around in the area where little or  
no overlap occurs, there is a chance the call may drop. This is because the handset does  
not have time to register with the second Base Station before the handset has exited the  
coverage area of the first Base Station. This can be solved by placing another Base Station  
or KIRK Repeater in the corner of the meeting corridors to provide extra coverage.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
Many small overlaps  
Be aware that many small overlaps in the same area can create problems if a handset can  
only identify two Base Stations. For example, if the handset is located in such an area and  
it is moved in a given direction, the alternative Base Station chosen may be different than  
the Base Station towards which the handset is traveling. This situation can cause a  
dropped call.  
The best solution is to place a Base Station in the middle of the area where there is  
merging radio coverage.  
Coverage hot spots  
Each Base Station supports four simultaneous conversations. In some applications, more  
channels are needed in a dense area. To support these installation requirements, up to  
three Base Stations can be placed in the same general area to provide extra traffic  
capability. This area is referred to as a “hot spot.” Hot spots are generally used in  
common areas of a building that will require more traffic channels than a single Base  
Station can supply.  
Base Stations must be separated by at least 4 to 9 meters / 15 to 30 feet to  
avoid conflicts. If a fourth Base Station is required in a high traffic area, to  
prevent interference it must be placed at least 22 meters / 75 feet away, if a  
direct line of sight exists between the fourth Base Station and the group of  
three.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
Shadows  
Be aware that “shadows” created by parts of the building can cause spots where no radio  
signals are able to penetrate. If a Base Station is mounted on a concrete or steel pillar, or  
even mounted near steel shelves, shadow areas may occur. This should be resolved by  
placing extra Base Stations near the shadow areas.  
Firewalls/doors, metal siding or linings, etc., might create these shadows.  
Weather conditions and seasons of the year  
Different weather conditions can have an influence regarding radio coverage. For  
example, rain, dense fog, a wet or icy roof or wall, can act as an RF shield.  
Different seasons of the year can also have an influence regarding radio coverage. For  
example, the growth of leaves on trees in the spring that were not present when the  
solution was installed in the winter might affect the radio coverage of Base Stations or  
Repeaters.  
3.3 Measuring Radio Coverage  
The radio coverage provided by Base Stations and Repeaters is related in two separate  
but equally important values. These two values are referred to as the Q-value, and the  
Radio Signal Strength Indicator, or RSSI. The KIRK Handset can be used as a signal meter  
for measuring these values.  
Q-value  
The Q-value is a relative expression for the bit failure rate in the communication between  
the Base Stations and the handset. The highest possible Q-value is 64; at this value there  
is a very low bit failure rate and should provide excellent speech quality.  
As the wireless handset roams the coverage area, the Q-value will  
change. When the wireless handset registers a Q-value of 52 (12 bit  
failures measured), the wireless handset will request a handover to  
an alternative Base Station or Repeater or eventually to another  
channel, frequency or timeslot.  
Be aware that the information in the display is only updated once per  
second meaning that the number of bit failure can be lower or higher  
than indicated in the display. Therefore it is important to accept that  
as soon as significant fluctuation of the Q-value occurs the end of the  
radio coverage has been reached.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
RSSI value  
The Radio Signal Strength Indicator value is a relative expression for the field strength of  
signal from the Base Station. The RSSI value is used for the choice of the alternative Base  
Station(s).  
The handset will choose the Base Station from which the strongest RSSI signal is received  
as the first alternative Base Station. Alternative Base Stations are listed according to RSSI  
values. If the “Best alternative Base Station” disappears, the next Base Station with the  
highest RSSI value will become the “Best alternative Base Station.”  
RSSI value display  
The RSSI value of Base Stations can be viewed by the handset when used as a signal  
meter. This value is related in a two-digit numerical format. However, the RSSI value  
may be a three-digit value (i.e. greater than 99). In this case, the handset uses a  
punctuation symbol to indicate this condition. This punctuation symbol should be read  
as “100 + the number shown.”  
For instance, to relate a RSSI value of 99, the digits 99 will be shown in the display. To  
relate a RSSI value of 106, the value may appear as : 6 or ; 6. The punctuation value  
shown may change; however, the meaning remains the same.  
To provide for quality speech, the RSSI value is normally not accepted as  
lower than a loss of 25dB relative to the signal which is 100% measured near  
to the KWS1500. If the signal loss rises to more than 25dB within the  
desired coverage area, plan to install a KIRK Repeater to improve coverage.  
When measuring for placement of Repeaters, the signal loss of the KWS1500  
(or KIRK Repeater in a linear configuration) should not be higher than 25dB  
at the location chosen for mounting the Repeater.  
.
3.4 Using the Handset as a Signal Meter  
During a site survey, the handset can be used as a signal meter to measure the radio  
signal strength and bit-failure rate of the KWS1500 and Repeaters and determine their  
optimal locations.  
Radio coverage is measured by a combination of the Q-value and RSSI value, shown in  
the handset’s display as described below. If the values are not adequate in a sector of the  
coverage area (Signal loss of more than 25dB and Q-value less than 60), the KWS1500  
may need to be moved to a better location, and / or KIRK Repeaters may need to be  
installed.  
All signal measurements must be taken with the subscribed handset off-hook  
and in a call to monitor voice quality.  
It is recommended to use a headset to assist with measuring radio signal  
strength. This allows you to listen to the quality of the voice while  
simultaneously viewing the signal values on the handset’s display screen.

Along the bottom row of the display, the  
values for the closest Base Station or  
Repeater are reported. From left to right in  
the display, the information includes the  
number of the Base Station or Repeater, the  
Q-value, and the RSSI value. The remaining  
numbers are not of value to the  
measurement process. Should the handset  
be taken off-hook in this location, this is the  
Base Station or Repeater that would most  
likely be activated. This is referred to as the  
“active” Base Station.  
Each Base Station and Repeater within range of the handset is listed to the right of RPN  
(Radio fixed Part Number), with its corresponding RSSI value below it, to the right of  
RSS. Alternate Base Stations and Repeaters are prioritized by RSSI value.  
In this example, the handset is actively  
synchronized to Base Station 25 (Hex value  
19) with a Q-value of 64. The handset is  
also within range of Base Station 03 with  
RSSI value of 84. When the Q-value of Base  
Station 25 drops to around 52, the handset  
will request a handoff to the Base  
Station/Repeater with the highest RSSI  
value, if available. In this case, the handoff  
would be given to Base Station 03 with RSSI  
value of 84.  
Site Survey Technique  
Starting near the KWS1500, use your KIRK Handset to place an active call to another  
telephone to monitor voice quality. Walk away from the KWS1500 while monitoring  
signal values to find the limits of the coverage. Roam to each room or area of the facility  
where coverage is desired.  
Monitor the Q-value while moving away form the KWS1500. If the Q-value drops to 52  
or becomes unstable (fluctuating) the limit of the radio coverage has been reached. Walk  
back to an area where the Q-value stably measures at least 60, and the signal loss is not  
higher than 25dB, and mark the location to install a KIRK Repeater.  
During measurement of radio coverage, it is important to simulate the influence of the  
human body and normal usage of the handset. This can be done either by shielding the  
antenna by the hand, or by turning the handset and the body in a way to achieve a  
“worst case” situation for reception of the radio signal from the Base Station.

3.7 KIRK Radio Hardware  
KIRK Base Stations  
KIRK Base Stations are compact devices that contain  
RF circuitry and transmit/receive antennas. The main  
function of the Base Station is to provide audio and  
data communication between the handsets and the  
KWS1500. The KIRK Base Station controls the traffic  
channels in the air and works as a link between the  
handsets and the KWS1500.  
The KWS1500 operates the Base Stations through a  
wired standard twisted pair of cables. Only one pair is  
required per KIRK Base Station and, by using recommended Cat 5 cabling, Base Stations  
may be placed up to 2.5 km / 9,000 feet from the KWS1500 main cabinet. A Base Station  
does not require an external AC power source. Instead, the Base Station is directly  
powered through the cabling from the KWS1500. .  
Base Stations are designed with two internal antennas and support antenna diversity.  
The Base Station is also able to carry out handoff between the RF channels under the  
same Base Station, and supports up to four simultaneous speech channels.  
Base Stations are omni-directional and provide a radio coverage radius of around 47  
meters / 150 feet indoors, or 106 meters / 350 feet outdoors in direct line-of-sight  
conditions.  
It is not possible to define a more exact size of a KIRK Base Station coverage area, as it  
largely depends on location specifics such as building materials, etc. Before a KIRK  
Wireless Solution is installed, a careful site survey should be performed in order to  
accurately define how many Base Stations are required to provide the necessary coverage  
at each individual site. Site surveys are also used to locate the optimal locations for each  
Base Station and, if needed, locations for KIRK Repeaters.  
It is possible to connect 16 Base Stations to a single KWS1500. Base Stations 0 to 7 are  
supported by the KWS1500 motherboard. Base Stations 8 to 15 are supported by the  
KIRK Expansion Board 1500.  
By linking two KWS1500 units together using the KIRK Link Card, 32 Base Stations can  
be connected.  
Each Base Station supports four simultaneous conversations. In cases where more than  
four simultaneous conversations are commonly required, multiple Base Stations may be  
placed to create “hot spot” zones to provide high traffic capacity areas.  
Base Stations are also termed Radio Fixed Part (RFP).  
All Base Stations should be cabled using 24-gauge, Cat 5, twisted-pair cable. Terminate  
the Base Station end of the twisted-pair cable with an RJ-11 connector on the center pair.  
Base Stations are not polarity sensitive.  
It is important that Base Stations are installed where the coverage is required. Therefore,  
Base Stations can be installed either indoors or outdoors.  
Indoors, the Base Stations must be mounted in a vertical orientation to a  
suitable, non-metallic, flat surface such as a wall or post.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
KIRK Repeaters  
The KIRK Repeater is a building block to be  
used to extend the coverage area in a KIRK  
solution. The repeater does not increase the  
number of traffic channels, however it  
provides a larger physical spreading of the  
traffic channels and thereby increases the  
coverage area established with the KIRK Base  
Stations. The repeaters are mainly used in  
areas with limited traffic. The KIRK Repeater  
is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It  
is wireless and does not need physical  
connection to the KIRK Wireless Server,  
making it very easy to install. The repeaters  
can be supplied with an external antenna  
making it possible to create radio coverage in  
a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation. .  
When deploying, KIRK Repeaters must be installed within the coverage area of the host  
Base Station. The RSSI value of the hosting Base Station, (measured at the installation  
point of the Repeater), must be 90 or greater.  
Repeaters require a standard 120V AC power outlet within 1.8 meters / 6 feet of  
placement.  
Up to six KIRK Repeaters may be synchronized to a single KIRK Base Station, and a  
maximum of 96 Repeaters may be used on a KWS1500.  
Repeaters may be configured in multi-cell configuration with multiple Repeaters  
assigned to a single Base Station, or in a linear configuration with up to three Repeaters  
in a chain.  
The Service Tool software is required to program Repeaters. See Service Tool Program  
Administration Guide

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
Multi-cell environment  
In a multi-cell environment, up to six Repeaters may be synchronized to a single Base  
Station to extend the radio coverage area.  
Repeaters must be placed inside the coverage area of the hosting Base Station.  
Jump configuration  
Repeaters may also be configured in a linear “jump” configuration. In this configuration,  
the Repeater closest to the Base Station is the only Repeater in the chain that is  
synchronized to the Base Station. Subsequent Repeaters are synchronized to the previous  
Repeater in the chain.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance  
5.2 Construction and Installation  
The KWS1500 should be installed on a desk, or wall-mounted using the included wall-  
mounting bracket. When installing the KWS1500, maintain a clearance of four inches  
around the chassis to provide adequate ventilation. For this reason, do not place any  
objects directly against the panels.  
The KWS1500 requires a mounting area at least 18” x 15” plus additional space for  
installation of cross-connection blocks.  
A dedicated power source is highly recommended; it should be located within 1.8 meters  
/ 6 feet of the installation.  
5.3 Opening the KWS1500  
Do not remove the top cover while the unit is connected to a power source.  
Failure to disconnect the unit from the power source while the top cover is  
removed can cause severe electric shock, damage to electrical components,  
and even death.  
Remove the eight screws connecting the cover to the chassis. There are two screws on  
each side of the chassis, and four located on the rear of the chassis. Once the screws are  
removed, gently lift the cover from the chassis and set it aside in a safe location.  
Installation is the reverse of removal.

KIRK Base Stations are connected to the KWS1500 using a RS-232C 25-pin male cable  
connected to the RS-232C 25-pin female connector located on the rear of the KWS1500.  
Terminate the Base Station cable to a suitable connection point such as a punch-down  
block or patch panel.  
All Base Stations should be cabled using 24-gauge, Cat 5, twisted-pair cable. Terminate  
the Base Station end of the twisted-pair cable with an RJ-11 connector on the center pair.  
Base Stations are not polarity sensitive.  
Terminate the solution end of the twisted-pair cable to a suitable connection point such  
as a punch-down block or patch panel located close to the termination of the Base Station  
cable. Cross-connect the Base Station cables to the desired Base Station circuit.  
Power for the Base Station is provided by the KWS1500 and is delivered via the cable to  
the Base Station.  
After the physical connection is made, the LED in the center of the Base Station will flash.  
This indicates that the Base Station is receiving power from the KWS1500.  
Once the Base Station synchronizes with the KWS1500, the LED will light steady.

Mounting KIRK Repeaters  
It is advisable to use the KIRK Service Tool software and configure the Repeater before  
mounting.. Before beginning the installation, determine the position of the repeater for  
best coverage. The coverage depends on the construction of the building, architecture,  
and the choice of building materials.  
The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.  
The repeater can be registered to the solution 1) when placed within the  
coverage area of a base station, 2) when placed within the coverage area of an  
already installed repeater or 3) when placed outside the coverage area using  
an external antenna.  
The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If the  
repeater is placed upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is  
decreased by 40 – 50%, and it might not transmit or receive effectively.

Power Options  
The power supply for the repeater is 9VDC, 300mA.  
Base Station and Repeater installation do’s and don’ts  
Base Stations and Repeaters emit a 1.9 GHz radio signal to support Handsets. In order to  
receive the best performance from the Base Stations and Repeaters, observe the following  
rules:  
The KWS1500 Base Station provides a radio coverage radius of around 47  
meters / 150 feet indoors, or up to 106 meters / 350 feet outdoors in direct line-  
of-sight conditions.  
KWS1500 Base Stations should be placed in a central position relative to the  
expected usage of the handsets. The points following provide guidelines for  
placement of the Base Station.  
The Base Station and Repeaters are typically wall mounted.  
KIRK Repeaters require local power (standard 120V AC). A dedicated,  
conditioned power source is recommended.  
The Base Stations and Repeaters MUST be placed vertically and right-side up.  
Placing a Base Station or Repeater in any other fashion can reduce radio signal  
penetration by up to 50 percent.  
Vertical orientation may be observed by the printed stickers located on the rear  
of the unit.  
Placing Base Stations or Repeaters above ceilings or ceiling tiles is not  
recommended.  
Placing Base Stations or Repeaters behind furniture or other objects that may  
reduce radio signal penetration is not recommended.  
Painting of Base Stations or Repeaters or, if mounted externally, their housing or  
containers, is not recommended. Paints contain metallic and/or carbon materials  
that will reduce radio signal penetration.  
Place Base Stations and Repeaters between 1.8 and 2.4 meters / 6 and 8t feet  
above floor level.  
Do not place Base Stations inside metallic cases. Use plastic enclosures for  
external mounting.  
Never mount Base Stations or Repeaters to a metallic surface. Metallic surfaces  
can cause radio signal reflections.

Safety  
WARNING  
Only qualified service personnel may install this equipment. The instructions in this  
manual are intended for use by qualified service personnel only.  
Only qualified persons should service the solution.  
The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel  
having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which  
they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to  
themselves or other persons.  
Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible  
with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the solution must  
be connected to an outlet with a third-wire Earth.  
Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming  
available on metal solution surfaces during power line fault events near network lines.  
These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth via the power cord.  
Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and  
removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be  
powered down must have the network connections (exchange lines) removed first.
