Certifying the Handsets
Prior to determining that an installation is complete, test the handsets
following the sequence given in the previous Testing a Handset section
and conduct a
Site Survey mode test according to the directions given
in the previous Diagnostic Tools section.
The installation may need some adjustments. Note any areas where
coverage is conflicting or inadequate. Note any system difficulties and
work with your wireless LAN and/or LAN system administrator to
determine the cause and possible remedy. See Chapter 11
Troubleshooting for clues to possible sources of difficulties. If any
adjustments are made to the system, re-test the device in the same
vicinity to determine if the difficulty is resolved.
The installer should not leave the site before performing installation
verification.
These tests must be performed in typical operating conditions,
especially if heavy loads occur. Testing sequence and procedure is
different for every installation. Generally, you should organize the
test according to area and volume, placing numerous calls to others
who can listen while you perform coverage tests. Note any areas with
excessive static or clarity problems and report it to a Polycom service
engineer.
The coverage test will also require you to put the handset in
Site Survey
mode and walk the entire coverage area to verify all APs.
Conducting a Site Survey
Conduct a site survey of the installation, by walking the site looking
for interfering 802.11 systems, adequate coverage and channel
assignment, and correct AP configuration. The site survey discussed
here does not replace an RF site survey conducted by professionals
who specialize in WLAN design and voice optimization
implementations. Polycom offers professional services including RF
site surveys.
