3-2 Chapter 3: Installing the Hardware Infrastructure
Installation Recommendations
• The most efficient way to install the DecisioNet hardware
infrastructure is in one pass through the store. Install the CBSs,
antennas, power cables, and data cables all at the same time
• Label all cables and document labeling for future reference.
• Neatness makes servicing the system much easier.
• Allow slack in cables, especially in receive antenna cables.
• Test the system as it is being installed. Refer to Chapter 7, "Testing
and Troubleshooting," for information on testing.
• Provide AC power that meets NCR requirements for the power
supplies.
• Test wiring as it is installed. Some installation problems are
extremely difficult to diagnose later.
• DecisioNet Release 3.0 requires the RF infrastructure to be
connected to the site's DecisioNet Software Controller to test the
infrastructure. Refer to the following for information on testing the
infrastructure and site certification:
• DecisioNet Implementation Guide (B005-0000-1250)
• DecisioNet RF Certification Utility Guide
• Certification/Re-Certification Site Survey Policy (497-0410343)
