Installation of Repeater

After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location the repeater. The repeater should be mounted as high as possible (2 meters or higher).
3.1 Package – Contents/Damage Inspection

Before Package Is Opened:

Examine the shipping package for evidence of physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support center of the regional representative or operator.

Contents of Package:

Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step.
Every shipped repeater package/box contains the following items:

  • 1 x Power supply
  • 1 x Repeater
  • 1 x Table stand
  • 1 x Safetysheet

Damage Inspection:

The following are the recommended procedure for you to use for inspection:

  1. Examine all relevant components for damage.
  2. Make a “defective on arrival – DOA” report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton until the operator has examined it. If possible, send pictures of the damage. The operator/regional representative will initiate the necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how to return the damaged package if necessary.
  3. If no damage is found, then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in accordance with country specific environmental regulations.

Repeater registration options:
There are 2 different ways to register Poly repeater’s “Local Automatic” and “Manually”

Local Automatic:
In this mode the repeater registers to the base station with best signal strength, this option is only recommended for single cell systems and Multi cell systems where the repeater is only able to sync with one specific base station.

Manually:
Manual registration is used in most cases when adding repeaters to a multi cell system. Manual registration allows to determine what base stations the repeater must connect to.

Register repeater(s) “Local Automatic”:

NOTE : Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station

NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption.

Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page.

Select the base station the repeater needs to register to.
E.g. RPN04

Select the base station

Step 5: Select the RPN for the repeater.

ERROR: The repeater will choose the first available slot on the selected base station. RPN x: The repeater connects to RPN x of the chosen base station.

E.g. Base station RPN04 + RPN1 repeater, then the repeater connects to “RPN5”
