     HOW TO TEST FOR SIGNAL STRENGTH FROM C3020 HANDSET PORTABLES

TO TEST FOR R.S.S.I. (RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR)

  KEY *898 ON HANDSET PORTABLE AND THE DISPLPY SHOULD SHOW
SOMETHING LIKE "1133     -56". THIS MEANS THAT THE BASESTATION
PORT 1133 FROM WHICH THE HANDSET IS WORKING OFF HAS A DECIBEL
READING OF "-56" DB.  THIS RERDING WILL BE CHANGING ALL THE
TIME DEPENDING ON WHAT AREA YOU PRE USING THE PORTAPBLE FROM.


TO TEST FOR DIRECTED R.S.S.I. (I.E FROM ONE BASESTATION ONLY)

  KEY *899 ON HANDSET PORTABLE FOLLOWED BY THE BASESTATION
PORT NUMBER I.E 1132.  THE HANDSET DISPLAY WILL LIST THE SAME
INFORMATION AS ABOVE BUT IT WILL NOT CHANGE OVER TO ANOTHER
CELL OR BASESTATION AS THE PORTABLE IS MOVED ABOUT.



NOTE!
  ON A SINGLE CELL SITE
NO MORE THAN SIX HANDSET PORTABLES CAN BE ON LINE APPEARANCE.


  ON A MULTIPLE CELL SITE
NO MORE THAN TWO HANDSET PORTABLES CAN BE ON LINE APPEAPANCE.
