Installation Guide
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 placement.
Once the initial Repeater placement is complete, the MDT placement phase begins. Again the
LED feedback can be used to verify that MDTs 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 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
MDTs 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 *NON METAL* 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. Mounting on a metal surface will
significantly affect the radio performance of the device.
