• The Base Station is not connected to the ICS.
• The Base Station is faulty and should be replaced.
A solid red light indicates that both radios on the Base
Station are busy, that the ICS is downloading data to the
Base Stations, or that one or both radios have not been
assigned to a cell.
4. Using the directed Received Signal Strength Indication
(RSSI) feature on a portable telephone verify that you can
establish a link with every radio on the system while
within the cell range of the radio.Using another portable,
establish a second link with the other radio on the same
Base Station and check that the red light is ON while both
radios are active.
Testing the system coverage
Using the undirected Received Signal Strength Indication
feature on a portable telephone, verify that the Base Stations
are handing off calls and serving the coverage area as
intended. To check valid handoff, move from one cell to
another. As you do this the radio number shown on the
portable telephone display changes.
To test system coverage at critical points, follow these steps:
1. Make a call. Move over the entire coverage area (including
stairs, elevators and critical points) while maintaining the
call on the portable. You should maintain good quality
speech throughout the area you are moving in.
2. Check that you can receive a call while at these critical
points. If a significant hole in the coverage area is found
and the Base Stations are working properly according to
the above tests, refer to Companion Site Planning Guide.
You may need to re-deploy the Base Stations or add an
additional cell.
