FAQ - DECT measurement procedure

Here we describe the new measurement procedure.

Required:

• N870/N870E base with software version 2.53 or higher. (N610 or N670 also support this feature but as measurement is done in multisite environment, it is not relevant for these devices.)
• Calibrated handset with software 12.02 or higher:
  • R700H SPK PRO
• Non calibrated handset with software 12.02 or higher:
  • R700H PRO / S700H PRO / SL800H PRO 
    
    

1. Start the measurement procedure via dialing ***922
   The following screen will be visible

   	Antenna mode Aopt = in call optimized antenna A50 = 50% mix of 2 antennas for  idle status quality measurement Antenna mode status information is heading the first column, which is counter of the measurement values obtained during the given call. As measurement values are updated every 960ms, it roughly gives a timestamp in the measurement call in seconds.
   	Frequency (F)
   	Slot (S)
   	RPN (Rp)
   	Frame quality (Fq%)
   	dBm => RSSI indication from calibrated measurement handset. Rss => rough RSSI indication from non-calibrated handset.

2. Click on "Log" to start an measurement and save the values on the DECT system.

   	HS Location
   	BS Location
   	Site

   Enter the Location information as the naming will be used when saving the measurement data.
   Press "OK" to start the measurement.

3. Measurement is started,
   1. Click on "Stop" to end the measurement or
   2. Measurement will stop automatic after 60 seconds
      
4. Click on "Save" to save the measurement.
            
5. On the DECT system there will be 2 files per measurement log.
   1. <Site>_<BS Location>_<HS Location>_Measurement.csv
   2. <Site>_<HS Location>_dps.csv

Measurement.csv file:

• • Column calibrated
    1 = Calibrated handset
    0 = Non calibrated handset
    
    
    dps.csv file:
    

The file dps.csv contains information about all bases seen by the handset, this feature can be used to measure in running installations.

The measurement files can be downloaded via:

• Download button in Web-interface
• CLI (WinSCP)
• Web-browser via URL

Web-interface:

From Software 2.54 or higher, download of measurement files via the web-interface is supported.

Open the web-interface and go to: STATUS - Statistics - DECT measurements, here you can download/delete the measurements files that are on the system. In case you have an Integrator system, you need to select the DECT manager where you started/stored the measurement files.

CLI:

cli@base-dm-7c2f80cfe206:~$ measure-dump -h
Usage: measure-dump [<options>]
-h        Show this help
-l        Lists all sites of which measurement logs are available
-r <site> Remove the generated measure-dump.tar file (/tmp/pub/measure-dump.tar)
          and the measurement logs of given site (dflt: all sites)
<site>    Dump measurement of given site, if option is not provided, all sites will be dumped

Note: Don't forget to remove your measurement data, if download was successful.
Otherwise you might leave your data on the measurement device.
