KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 3 Deploying KIRK Wireless Server 600v3
Before you install the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 solution, it is necessary to perform a complete
site survey and determine the exact location of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 primaries and
secondaries and number of handsets required.
A well planned installation should start with an RF coverage site survey. A site survey is designed
to determine the optimal location for KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters and the
amount of wireless voice traffic to be supported by the installation (i.e., how many KIRK Handsets
must maintain voice conversations at the same time, in any given area).
Due to the unexpected nature of RF propagation in an indoor environment, an actual on-site test
must be performed before the installation is complete. While an extensive guide to effective RF
coverage planning is outside the scope of this manual, the following points should be taken into
consideration when planning the site, prior to Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeater
installation:
• The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater provides typical RF coverage of up to 50
meters in a typical indoor office environment and up 300 meters in an open area (line-of-site),
extending in all directions from the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater. The exact
coverage range depends on the building architecture, wall material and surroundings.
• The KIRK solution can support a maximum of 1500 handsets.
• The KIRK solution supports a maximum of 256 radio units (a mix of primary and secondary
KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters.
• Handset handover: KIRK Handsets can move between coverage areas of primary and
secondary KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters while receiving continuous
service and maintaining conversations in progress.
• For efficient handover of conversations between KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 primaries and
secondaries, deploy KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 with wide overlap between them (i.e., plan
for some areas to be covered by more than one KIRK Wireless Server 600v3). Overlaps are
necessary to maintain seamless handover and to establish synchronization chains. A good
example may be a cafeteria during lunch hour where temporary concentrations of handsets
may occur. The overlap carries the excess call load to adjacent KIRK Wireless Server 600v3
to provide uninterrupted services to subscribers.
• Typically, installations such as office buildings, hotels and hospitals should be equipped with
KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters on several floors to create uniform and
complete RF coverage.
• Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3. In such
applications, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/repeaters cover an extended range due to the
extended line-of-sight RF propagation capability.
• Ensure that there is not a residentially DECT system (home DECT) on the site.
