This section describes the visual inspection and tests that must be executed after
completing the installation and initialization of the IP-DECT system. The purpose of the
visual inspection and tests is to verify that all installation activities have resulted in a
correctly functioning system. If it appears that a part is malfunctioning while the system is
installed correctly (i.e.: no cabling faults, no configuration faults), the technician must
consult the maintenance section included in this manual for fault finding.
9.1 Radio coverage verification tests
The radio coverage verification consists of two tests:
• Base station operation test
• Coverage area test
Note: Be sure that all batteries in the cordless phones are charged before executing the
tests.
9.1.1 Base Station Operation Test
The purpose of this test is to check if all base stations are operational.
1 Put a cordless phone in the service display mode (DCA mode) , see applicable user
manual for the cordless phone.
2 Use the base station plan, see System Planning, Ascom IP-DECT, TD 92422GB.
3 Move close to each base station and check that the cordless phone locks to it (the
service display should display the correct number).
After having checked that all base stations are operational proceed with the coverage area
test.
9.1.2 Coverage Area Test
The purpose of this test is to verify that there is satisfactory field strength to enable good
speech quality everywhere within the covered area (rooms, lift shafts, staircases). This test
is executed with two cordless phones and requires two persons.
1 Place the cordless phone in the service display mode (DCA mode) and call the other
cordless phone. One user of the cordless phone should now start moving around
the covered area. Both users must check that a good speech quality is maintained
everywhere. Special attention should be paid to areas such as edges of the building
and areas behind metal structures where there is a possibility of reduced speech
quality.
2 Mark areas where cracking sounds or mutes are heard.
9.1.3 Evaluation
After having performed the coverage area test, the results should be evaluated. If the
coverage is not sufficient you should review the planning and move or add equipment.
9.2 Cordless Extension Number Test
This test checks for each cordless phone the complete connection from the IP-DECT
system to the PBX. Furthermore it checks that the cordless phones’ numbers have been
