EkoTek System Installation and Configuration Manual Survey
The survey unit
The survey unit is designed to assist in the placement of Repeaters and trouble -shooting
the network. The Pager continuously transmits a signal, either to another Pager or to a
Repeater and measures the signal received from that device.
The left button on the pager scrolls the menus. When taking measurements, always hold
the pager by the left hand side to avoid masking the signal which is transmitted from the
right hand side. Also avoid placing your body between the pager and the measured
device, as this will also attenuate the signal.
Note: The survey Pager is continuously transmitting a signal and the battery life is short.
To avoid unnecessarily draining the battery, remove when not in use.
RSSI
This screen indicates the signal strength for each channel in both the RX and TX paths.
The measurement for each channel is displayed as a vertically stacked number. Ideally
the RSSI should be 15 or above.
Quality
This screen indicates the quality for each channel in both the RX and TX paths. The
measurement for each channel is displayed as a vertically stacked number. The range of
reported values is 0 to 99 with 99 being the best quality.
