Set Up an Existing System with a Dynamic IP Address
IMPORTANT: The computer should be set to obtain an IP Address automatically. The DHCP server for the matrix
must be enabled in the AZedit application before the computer delivers an IP Address.
To connect the AP-1800 to the matrix, do the following:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the AP-1800 to the Matrix directly or via a network switch.
2. Connect one end of the power supply to the AP-1800 and the other end to the wall outlet.
The AP-1800 powers on.
3. Using IPedit, configure the OMI card with the AP-1800 unit.
NOTE: If the AP-1800 being used is already part of an operating system and a TR-1800 is subscribed to it, then no
more IP configuration is required. Turn off all other AP-1800 devices in the system so coverage of the single
access point being tested can be found. For more information, see “Perform a Site Survey” on page 46.
For complete instructions on how to configure the AP-1800, see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59.
Perform a Site Survey
A site survey is performed to determine the placement of access points to ensure RF coverage of the desired area. A beltpack,
communicating with an access point at a test location, is set to the site survey screen where RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indication) and QF (Quality Factor) are both used to find the RF coverage area.
Pre-conditions
•
A beltpack has been successfully subscribed to an access point.
• A site map or blueprint of the building that can be marked up.
• Power can be supplied to the access point at the possible test locations either by using power extension
cables or battery power. For battery power, 12VDC @ 0.600 Amps must be available to the access
point. A charged 12VDC battery rated for at least 2.4 Amp-hours is recommended for a typical site
survey length of time. The input connector required for an access point is a 13.8mm long, female barrel,
2.5mm x 5.5mm connector.
IMPORTANT: The unit is marked 1.5 Amps. This is an upper limit set to handle peak loads when fully loaded. When
doing site surveys, an access point is not heavily loaded.
To perform a site survey, do the following:
1. Place the access point in the location to be tested for coverage.
2. Power up the access point.
When the power light turns to solid green, the access point is ready.
3. Power up the beltpack.
The splash screen momentarily displays and then the home screen appears.
NOTE: When the beltpack finishes booting, the home screen of the beltpack indicates a wireless
connection . If the wireless connection does not display, verify settings in the “Setup for a Site
Survey” section.
4. Press the Menu button.
The beltpack main menu appears.
