Personnel Alert: Base Station
Radio Frequency (RF) Optimization
The hopping pattern for each base station is selected from
one of seven channel-hopping algorithms. On the radio
board, the hopping pattern can be selected from S2, by
configuring the binary representation of channels 0 through
7. . Set the binary representation as follows:
bit 0 = switch is closed
bit 1 = switch is open
Single Base Station System: For systems that require only
one base station, any dip switch setting can be used on S2.
Multi Base Station Systems: For systems consisting of
more than seven base stations, the risk of interference is
minimal when using the recommended Honeycomb pattern
setup mode. The optimum layout for multi base station
systems is the Honeycomb pattern. Refer to
Area System
Planning and Figure 5.Honeycomb Pattern.
The numbers in each hexagon represent the decimal
equivalent for the dip switch setting that should be used for
switch S2. Maintain a record of the pattern that is selected for
each base station to ensure that settings are not duplicated
for adjacent base stations. Refer to Table 6 for an example.
