System testing 9–1
Chapter 9
System testing
This chapter addresses the following tasks:
• Testing RF coverage – page 9–1
• Conducting performance tests – page 9–2
Verify operational performance by completing the Performance
Test Checklist referred to in Section 9.2. This verification is the
final step in commissioning the AIReach OS.
Using a test cell phone, perform a walk–through of the entire
customer site to confirm AIReach OS RF coverage and record
signal strengths:
1. Test interior coverage, with the customer representative
present:
Record signal strength readings at the test points outlined in
the (customer site–specific) AIReach OS RF Engineering
Plan.
Immediately notify the HNS TAC if:
• The RF coverage is not as specified in the RF
Engineering Plan
• Signal strength readings inside the facility are 5 dBm
above or below the specified values
2. Test exterior RF coverage, with the service provider
representative present:
a. Record signal strength readings at the test points
outlined in the RF Engineering Plan.
b. Make sure coverage does not extend beyond 30 feet
(9.1 meters) from the building: Make a call inside the
building, walk outside, and walk away from the
building.
The call should drop from the AIReach OS (and
reselect to the macro network) before you are 30 feet
(9.1 meters) from the building.
Immediately notify the HNS TAC if:
• The RF coverage is not as specified in the RF
Engineering Plan
• Signal strength readings outside the facility are
stronger than specified values
