User Manual

first, then rapidly flash when a Beacon is seen (from a Repeater or DCAP/AP), then finally
illuminates for 10 seconds when it successfully communicates with the network.
The unit can be turned off by again holding the button until the LED blips off. Then release the
button and the unit will flash twice to indicate it is in the off state.
Button Usage (for MDT/Sensor and Repeater)
When a unit is off, press and hold for three or four seconds to turn on. LED starts to flash
When unit is on, press and hold for three or four seconds to turn off. LED will be off
A single press can indicate the state of the unit
Constant on LED for 10 seconds means unit successfully communicating to network
Single LED flash indicates the unit is on but not communicating with the network
Double LED flash indicates the unit is OFF
A double press when the unit is on and Connected will trigger an immediate data transmission
Device Placement
With the DCAP Unit powered up and the CIT tool running, the repeater backbone can be
placed. Start with units closer to the DCAP/AP, and use the LED feedback indication to verify
the range is acceptable. At first just the minimum numbers of repeaters can be placed, with
additional repeaters added to fill in holes after MDT/Sensor placement.
Once the initial Repeater placement is complete, the Sensor placement phase begins. Again the
LED feedback can be used to verify that MDT/Sensors are communicating with the network.
Additional repeaters can be placed in areas will minimal coverage. The CIT software can also
be used in the placement phase to provide more detailed information such as Link Quality and
Signal Strength reading generated by MDT/Sensors and Repeaters. In particularly dense sites
such as in modern Hospitals, a Sniffer unit may be used to monitor local radio traffic. A Sniffer
is just a receiving unit that displays any received message on a Laptop over a USB cable.
Guidelines
Sensors can be mounted in a number of ways by utilizing velcro strips, tie-wraps, or screws.
Units may be mounted to the wall or other flat surfaces with screws or velcro, and strapped to
pipes or posts by placing tie-wraps through the two slots on the flanged case.
Units should not be placed directly on the metal surface unless no other option is available.
Mounting on a flat metal surface will significantly affect the radio performance of the device.
Warning: All radio devices should be placed at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from
people in order to minimize RF exposure.
