Deploying on multiple floors
Use the information in this section to deploy SIP DECT in the following situations.
• The coverage area is on more than one floor.
• The floors are not adjacent.
Checking for through-the-floor coverage
The first step in covering a multi-floor building is to assess the availability of through-the-floor
coverage. In buildings mainly constructed of wood, you can use through-the-floor coverage.
However
, due to the construction of most modern buildings with raised floors, high metal
content, and reinforced concrete, through-the-floor coverage with DECT is limited.
Checking for through-the-floor coverage
1. Place the deployment tool in a middle floor of the site.
2. Go to the floor above the deployment tool and enter the site survey mode on the
handset.
For more information, see
Entering the site survey mode on page 43
if you use
Deployment Kit 2, or
Entering the monitor mode on page 213
if you use an older
