4 Site survey features
The FreeSpeak Edge system provides tools to facilitate your site survey:
l Standalone mode, transceiver
l Local RF scan mode, beltpack
4.1 Transceiver standalone mode
You can use standalone mode to connect the Edge transceiver to two beltpacks with full
duplex audio. This is useful for performing an initial survey to find out how the transceiver
performs in the local RF environment before the device is connected to a matrix. In standalone
mode, for convenience, you can use a USB battery pack (5V, 3A) to power the transceiver.
To enable standalone mode:
1. Press and hold the Mode button while simultaneously powering the Edge transceiver.
Both LEDs will turn solid yellow when standalone mode is enabled. At this point you can
release the Mode button.
Note: While the IPT is in standalone mode, LED 1 is yellow and LED 2 flashes yellow at 2
Hz.
Once standalone mode is enabled on the transceiver you can register and connect the
beltpacks to it using the Over the Air (OTA) registration method.
Note: If the beltpack has been previously connected to a system, you will have to delete that system
before connecting to the transceiver in standalone mode. Delete an old system by navigating
to System in the beltpack menu.
To register and connect the beltpacks to the standalone transceiver:
1. Power on the beltpack.
2. Enter menu mode by pressing + and - keys at the same time for one second.
3. Navigate to System using the rotary controllers.
4. Select System using the D key.
5. You will see the transceiver to register to in the menu screen.
6. Select the transceiver and register to it using the D key.
Use the C key to go back or cancel.
Once the beltpack is registered to the transceiver you will be able to use the beltpack to test
the coverage zone.
To take a transceiver out of standalone mode, power cycle the device.
