3.10 RF Planning
RF planning places a minimum number of RadioFrame Units in locations that will provide
optimal coverage and voice quality. RF planning for the RadioFrame System takes into
consideration anything that might affect RF propagation, including:
• RFU locations, including coverage and mounting requirements, multi-story
installations, and elevator shafts and stairwells
• Simulcasting, including single-sector and multi-sector systems
• Interference, including out-of-building emissions and in-building interference from
macro systems
3.11 Site Survey
An informal site survey can be conducted to determine RFS equipment locations. Based
upon the RFS square footage model, preliminary site designs are relatively easy to
calculate prior to a formal site survey (refer to Appendix B “Site Survey” for an example of
site survey questions and information).
3.12 Tools Required
The RadioFrame System comes with all the parts necessary to mount each component
of the system. This section describes all of the equipment necessary to install the
RadioFrame System.
3.12.1 Hand Tools
• #2 Phillips screw driver.
• Optional: For RFU ceiling mounts, a drill with a 3/16” bit for use with provided wood
screws, or a 9/32” bit and four ¼” bolts (not provided).
3.12.2 Laptop Computer
A laptop computer is required to bring up the RFS. The laptop must be loaded with the
following fully functional equipment (or equivalent):
• Serial cable (DB9/RS232)
• Ethernet cables to connect to the BLIC:
- crossover EIA/TIA 568A
- straight through EIA/TIA 568B
• CD-ROM capability
• FTP server (WFTPD) 32- shareware
• Telnet and serial communications software (TeraTerm) - shareware
• Administration rights to change IP settings on laptop
