Identifying existing cabling
Gather the following information and enter it into the work-order.
Identifying existing cabling
1. Obtain the location of the telephone switching room.
Determine the total length of the cable.
2. Ask about the existing cabling for basestation to MDF wiring.
Wiring from the basestation to the shelf or cabinet must be at least UTP Cat 3. Avaya
recommends UTP Cat 5, as it provides greater line length before signal degradation
occurs.
3. Review the possibility of new UTP Cat 5 cabling required.
If the cabling is not at least UTP Cat 3, have UTP Cat 5 installed.

Note:
If the customer requires the basestations be installed out of sight, this can reduce the
coverage capability of each basestation. It can limit the performance of the system and
substantially increase the cost.
Gather the following information and enter it into the work-order
.
Assessing radio coverage
