KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Capacities and Specifications

2.1

Overview
A KIRK Wireless Solution, based on the KWS1500, is an adjunct solution for medium-tolarge businesses with a need from anywhere between 1 and 128 handset users. The KIRK
Expansion Board and the KIRK Link Card make it possible to expand the solution
capacity to reach registration of up to 128 and 700 wireless users depending on the
interface technology. The KWS1500 is deployed behind a new or existing host PBX
telephone switch through analog station port connections provided by the host PBX.
A KIRK Wireless Solution consists of a KWS1500 operating in the Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) frequency band of 1.8GHz or 1.9GHz, and
supports up to 16 KIRK Base Stations to deliver radio coverage for up to 64 KIRK
Handsets.
To eliminate “blind spots” or to cover low traffic areas, KIRK Repeaters can be added to
extend the radio coverage area of Base Stations. Up to six Repeaters can be connected per
host Base Station (96 Repeaters total).

KIRK Base Stations
The Base Station is a compact device that contains radio frequency (RF) circuitry and
radio antennas. The main function of the Base Station is to provide communication of
audio and data signals between the mobile handsets and the KWS1500 Solution. Each
KIRK Base Station supports four simultaneous voice conversations.
Up to three Base Stations may be placed adjacent to one another without causing
channel interference. This provides the ability to support up to 12 simultaneous voice
conversations in a given area. A fourth Base Station must be placed a minimum of 23
meters / 75 feet from a group of three Base Stations to avoid channel interference.

KIRK Repeaters
Repeaters extend the radio coverage of KIRK Base Stations by up to 50 percent. KIRK
Repeaters do not require cabling to the KIRK Wireless Server or the host Base Station.
Repeaters require local power and are synchronized to the host Base Station wirelessly.

A KIRK Repeater may only be synchronized to a single Base Station.

Handsets
The KIRK Handset is a lightweight, ergonomically designed wireless unit that includes a
LCD display and keypad. The handset is compatible with the DECT Generic Access
Profile (GAP) standard.

2.2

Identification Numbers
KIRK ARI number
The KIRK Access Rights Identity (ARI) number is an 11-digit number that specifically
identifies the KIRK Solution. Each KWS1500 cabinet produces a unique ARI number that
identifies it from any other KWS1500. The ARI number can be found on the back panel of
the KWS1500 cabinet.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

When using linked KWS1500s, the solution uses the ARI number from the KWS1500
assigned as the Master.

KIRK Handset IPEI number
Each KIRK Handset has a unique Equipment Production Identification number. This
number uniquely identifies each handset. The KWS1500 assigns each handset to the
solution by its International Portable Equipment Identity (IPEI) number, or serial
number. The IPEI number is printed on the label inside the battery compartment. It is
also available by dialing the feature code *99984* on the idle handset, and pressing the
OK button.
The IPEI number is a 12-digit number. It appears on all KIRK handset equipment as
follows:
00077 1234567

Radio Coverage and Physical Deployment

3.1

Radio Coverage Areas
The deployment of Base Stations and Repeaters is a critical aspect of the KWS1500
Wireless Server. If the Wireless Server installation is to be successful, the deployment
concepts explained here must be followed.
To determine the permanent installation location of Base Stations within a given
installation, a site survey must be taken to discover the optimal location and total
quantity of Base Stations required for the installation.
KIRK Base Stations provide a radio coverage radius of approximately 47 meters / 150
feet indoors or up to a 350-foot (106 meters) radius outdoors in direct line-of-sight
conditions. However, it is extremely important to keep in mind that radio coverage is
dependent on construction materials, method of construction and environment. These
factors will always be involved in every installation. Therefore, it is not possible to relate
one installation to another insofar as number of Base Stations or positioning of Base
Stations. Each site is relatively unique.
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 installation.

3.2

Specifications listed reflect capacities of the KWS1500 solution when used in a
Solo configuration unless otherwise designated.
The Base Station provides a typical coverage radius of 150 feet (46 m) in a typical
indoor office environment, and up to a 350-foot (107 m) radius in an open area (lineof-sight), extending in all directions from the Base Station. The exact coverage range
depends on the building architecture and materials.
The KWS1500 will support a maximum of 64 handsets per solution. .
The KWS1500 supports a maximum of 16 Base Stations per solution, providing 64
RF speech channels.
A maximum of two KWS1500 solutions may be linked together.
Handsets can move between coverage areas of different Base Stations while receiving
continuous service and maintaining conversations in progress.
For efficient handoff of conversations between Base Stations, deploy multiple Base
Stations with sufficient overlap of coverage between them (i.e. plan for some areas to
be covered by more than one Base Station). Overlaps are necessary to allow handsets
the time necessary to handoff to a Base Station with a stronger signal.
Avoid placing Base Stations near other electronic equipment, large machinery, etc.,
as the range can be severely affected.
Base Stations should be placed between 1,8 and 2,4 meters / 6 and 8 feet in height; if
they are placed any lower, persons walking around could interfere with the radio
signal. Antennas should always be mounted in a vertical orientation utilizing the
supplied mounting bracket. Coverage area can be adversely affected if the Base
Stations is mounted improperly.

Deployment
It is important to keep in mind that the coverage area of the KWS1500 and any repeater is
flexible and affected b outside objects. It should be noted that within the course of this

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

guide coverage areas are represented by abstract areas and bear no resemblance to the
actual physical coverage area provided by the KWS1500.

Coverage Area Calculations
One Base Station:
Coverage A = (π x r2)

Extending Radio Coverage with Repeaters
A KIRK Repeater is a useful tool for extending a Base Station’s coverage area. It is
therefore ideal where extra coverage is required in a low traffic area.
KIRK Repeaters do not provide additional active speech channels to the KIRK Wireless
Server. Instead, the Repeaters extend up to 2 simultaneous traffic channels of the host
Base Station. Base Stations do not handover speech channels to the Repeater, therefore
when a Wireless Handset is off hook using a Repeater channel, the associated base
Station channel also remains in use. A Repeater only takes channels from a Base Station
when there is active traffic on the Repeater.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Multi Cell Environment
In a multi cell environment, up to 3 Repeaters may be synchronized to a single Base
Station to extend the radio coverage.

Jump Configuration
Repeaters may also be configured in a “jump” configuration. In this configuration the
Repeater closest to the Base Station is the only Repeater in the chain that is synchronized
to the Base Station. Subsequent Repeaters are synchronized to the previous Repeater in
the chain.

Radio coverage overlap
Other factors involved in a deployment relate to radio coverage overlap. A coverage
overlap occurs when the radio fields of multiple Base Stations overlap each other. Base
Stations must be placed in such a way that the radio coverage from one Base Station to
another overlaps by 9 to 14 meters / 30 to 45 feet. An overlap is required so that as the

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

handset moves about the various coverage zones Base Stations have time to hand the call
off to another Base Station. .

If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 meters / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of
dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another. This is
because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station.
However, too much overlap results in a wasted coverage area.
If the alternative Base Station is not found while crossing the overlap into another area, a
channel handoff cannot take place and the connection to the solution will be dropped
because the handset is now out-of-range.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Horizontal and vertical overlap
Base Stations are omni-directional, meaning RF signal is propagated vertically and
horizontally from the Base Stations and Repeaters. Depending on building materials, the
Base Station coverage area will typically extend to more than one floor of a structure. In
the multi-zone building installation below, the coverage areas overlap horizontally,
allowing the handset to roam the structure without interruption. The handsets will
always try to acquire the Base Station with the strongest signal if there are channels
available on the Base Station.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

No overlap
In areas where two Base Stations are separated by steel doors, gates, elevators, stairwells,
etc., the handset may not have time to register with the next Base Station, resulting in the
call being dropped. This can be resolved by moving the Base Stations closer together, or
by installing another Base Station near the obstruction.
If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of
dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another. This is
because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station. Too
much overlap results in a wasted coverage area, and too little results in dropped calls.

Small overlaps
In this example, two coverage areas meet at a perpendicular intersection such as a
hallway or outside of a building corner. When moving around in the area where little or
no overlap occurs, there is a chance the call may drop. This is because the handset does
not have time to register with the second Base Station before the handset has exited the
coverage area of the first Base Station. This can be solved by placing another Base Station
or KIRK Repeater in the corner of the meeting corridors to provide extra coverage.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Many small overlaps
Be aware that many small overlaps in the same area can create problems if a handset can
only identify two Base Stations. For example, if the handset is located in such an area and
it is moved in a given direction, the alternative Base Station chosen may be different than
the Base Station towards which the handset is traveling. This situation can cause a
dropped call.
The best solution is to place a Base Station in the middle of the area where there is
merging radio coverage.

Coverage hot spots
Each Base Station supports four simultaneous conversations. In some applications, more
channels are needed in a dense area. To support these installation requirements, up to
three Base Stations can be placed in the same general area to provide extra traffic
capability. This area is referred to as a “hot spot.” Hot spots are generally used in
common areas of a building that will require more traffic channels than a single Base
Station can supply.

72160400_issue_B

Base Stations must be separated by at least 4 to 9 meters / 15 to 30 feet to
avoid conflicts. If a fourth Base Station is required in a high traffic area, to
prevent interference it must be placed at least 22 meters / 75 feet away, if a
direct line of sight exists between the fourth Base Station and the group of
three.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Shadows
Be aware that “shadows” created by parts of the building can cause spots where no radio
signals are able to penetrate. If a Base Station is mounted on a concrete or steel pillar, or
even mounted near steel shelves, shadow areas may occur. This should be resolved by
placing extra Base Stations near the shadow areas.
Firewalls/doors, metal siding or linings, etc., might create these shadows.

Weather conditions and seasons of the year
Different weather conditions can have an influence regarding radio coverage. For
example, rain, dense fog, a wet or icy roof or wall, can act as an RF shield.
Different seasons of the year can also have an influence regarding radio coverage. For
example, the growth of leaves on trees in the spring that were not present when the
solution was installed in the winter might affect the radio coverage of Base Stations or
Repeaters.

3.3

Measuring Radio Coverage
The radio coverage provided by Base Stations and Repeaters is related in two separate
but equally important values. These two values are referred to as the Q-value, and the
Radio Signal Strength Indicator, or RSSI. The KIRK Handset can be used as a signal meter
for measuring these values.

Q-value
The Q-value is a relative expression for the bit failure rate in the communication between
the Base Stations and the handset. The highest possible Q-value is 64; at this value there
is a very low bit failure rate and should provide excellent speech quality.

72160400_issue_B

As the wireless handset roams the coverage area, the Q-value will
change. When the wireless handset registers a Q-value of 52 (12 bit
failures measured), the wireless handset will request a handover to
an alternative Base Station or Repeater or eventually to another
channel, frequency or timeslot.
Be aware that the information in the display is only updated once per
second meaning that the number of bit failure can be lower or higher
than indicated in the display. Therefore it is important to accept that
as soon as significant fluctuation of the Q-value occurs the end of the
radio coverage has been reached.

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

RSSI value
The Radio Signal Strength Indicator value is a relative expression for the field strength of
signal from the Base Station. The RSSI value is used for the choice of the alternative Base
Station(s).
The handset will choose the Base Station from which the strongest RSSI signal is received
as the first alternative Base Station. Alternative Base Stations are listed according to RSSI
values. If the “Best alternative Base Station” disappears, the next Base Station with the
highest RSSI value will become the “Best alternative Base Station.”

RSSI value display
The RSSI value of Base Stations can be viewed by the handset when used as a signal
meter. This value is related in a two-digit numerical format. However, the RSSI value
may be a three-digit value (i.e. greater than 99). In this case, the handset uses a
punctuation symbol to indicate this condition. This punctuation symbol should be read
as “100 + the number shown.”
For instance, to relate a RSSI value of 99, the digits 99 will be shown in the display. To
relate a RSSI value of 106, the value may appear as : 6 or ; 6. The punctuation value
shown may change; however, the meaning remains the same.

To provide for quality speech, the RSSI value is normally not accepted as
lower than a loss of 25dB relative to the signal which is 100% measured near
to the KWS1500. If the signal loss rises to more than 25dB within the
desired coverage area, plan to install a KIRK Repeater to improve coverage.
When measuring for placement of Repeaters, the signal loss of the KWS1500
(or KIRK Repeater in a linear configuration) should not be higher than 25dB
at the location chosen for mounting the Repeater.

3.4

Using the Handset as a Signal Meter
During a site survey, the handset can be used as a signal meter to measure the radio
signal strength and bit-failure rate of the KWS1500 and Repeaters and determine their
optimal locations.
Radio coverage is measured by a combination of the Q-value and RSSI value, shown in
the handset’s display as described below. If the values are not adequate in a sector of the
coverage area (Signal loss of more than 25dB and Q-value less than 60), the KWS1500
may need to be moved to a better location, and / or KIRK Repeaters may need to be
installed.

72160400_issue_B

All signal measurements must be taken with the subscribed handset off-hook
and in a call to monitor voice quality.
It is recommended to use a headset to assist with measuring radio signal
strength. This allows you to listen to the quality of the voice while
simultaneously viewing the signal values on the handset’s display screen.

Signal Meter Display
The Signal Meter Display includes the
Q-value, RSSI value, hopping
sequence, time slot and handoff
information for Base Stations and all
Repeaters located within the range of
the handset. Base Station and Repeater
numbers are shown in hexadecimal.
Refer to the included chart for
translation.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance

Along the bottom row of the display, the
values for the closest Base Station or
Repeater are reported. From left to right in
the display, the information includes the
number of the Base Station or Repeater, the
Q-value, and the RSSI value. The remaining
numbers are not of value to the
measurement process. Should the handset
be taken off-hook in this location, this is the
Base Station or Repeater that would most
likely be activated. This is referred to as the
“active” Base Station.
Each Base Station and Repeater within range of the handset is listed to the right of RPN
(Radio fixed Part Number), with its corresponding RSSI value below it, to the right of
RSS. Alternate Base Stations and Repeaters are prioritized by RSSI value.
In this example, the handset is actively
synchronized to Base Station 25 (Hex value
19) with a Q-value of 64. The handset is
also within range of Base Station 03 with
RSSI value of 84. When the Q-value of Base
Station 25 drops to around 52, the handset
will request a handoff to the Base
Station/Repeater with the highest RSSI
value, if available. In this case, the handoff
would be given to Base Station 03 with RSSI
value of 84.

Site Survey Technique
Starting near the KWS1500, use your KIRK Handset to place an active call to another
telephone to monitor voice quality. Walk away from the KWS1500 while monitoring
signal values to find the limits of the coverage. Roam to each room or area of the facility
where coverage is desired.
Monitor the Q-value while moving away form the KWS1500. If the Q-value drops to 52
or becomes unstable (fluctuating) the limit of the radio coverage has been reached. Walk
back to an area where the Q-value stably measures at least 60, and the signal loss is not
higher than 25dB, and mark the location to install a KIRK Repeater.
During measurement of radio coverage, it is important to simulate the influence of the
human body and normal usage of the handset. This can be done either by shielding the
antenna by the hand, or by turning the handset and the body in a way to achieve a
“worst case” situation for reception of the radio signal from the Base Station.

Completing the Site Survey
By the end of the site survey, you should have established the optimum locations for the
Base Stations and any necessary Repeaters. Mark these locations clearly and plan out
how you will provide electrical power for Repeaters, if not yet in place.

3.7

KIRK Radio Hardware
KIRK Base Stations
KIRK Base Stations are compact devices that contain
RF circuitry and transmit/receive antennas. The main
function of the Base Station is to provide audio and
data communication between the handsets and the
KWS1500. The KIRK Base Station controls the traffic
channels in the air and works as a link between the
handsets and the KWS1500.
The KWS1500 operates the Base Stations through a
wired standard twisted pair of cables. Only one pair is
required per KIRK Base Station and, by using recommended Cat 5 cabling, Base Stations
may be placed up to 2.5 km / 9,000 feet from the KWS1500 main cabinet. A Base Station
does not require an external AC power source. Instead, the Base Station is directly
powered through the cabling from the KWS1500. .
Base Stations are designed with two internal antennas and support antenna diversity.
The Base Station is also able to carry out handoff between the RF channels under the
same Base Station, and supports up to four simultaneous speech channels.
Base Stations are omni-directional and provide a radio coverage radius of around 47
meters / 150 feet indoors, or 106 meters / 350 feet outdoors in direct line-of-sight
conditions.
It is not possible to define a more exact size of a KIRK Base Station coverage area, as it
largely depends on location specifics such as building materials, etc. Before a KIRK
Wireless Solution is installed, a careful site survey should be performed in order to
accurately define how many Base Stations are required to provide the necessary coverage
at each individual site. Site surveys are also used to locate the optimal locations for each
Base Station and, if needed, locations for KIRK Repeaters.
It is possible to connect 16 Base Stations to a single KWS1500. Base Stations 0 to 7 are
supported by the KWS1500 motherboard. Base Stations 8 to 15 are supported by the
KIRK Expansion Board 1500.
By linking two KWS1500 units together using the KIRK Link Card, 32 Base Stations can
be connected.
Each Base Station supports four simultaneous conversations. In cases where more than
four simultaneous conversations are commonly required, multiple Base Stations may be
placed to create “hot spot” zones to provide high traffic capacity areas.

Base Stations are also termed Radio Fixed Part (RFP).

All Base Stations should be cabled using 24-gauge, Cat 5, twisted-pair cable. Terminate
the Base Station end of the twisted-pair cable with an RJ-11 connector on the center pair.
Base Stations are not polarity sensitive.
It is important that Base Stations are installed where the coverage is required. Therefore,
Base Stations can be installed either indoors or outdoors.

•

Indoors, the Base Stations must be mounted in a vertical orientation to a
suitable, non-metallic, flat surface such as a wall or post.

72160400_issue_B

KIRK Repeaters
The KIRK Repeater is a building block to be
used to extend the coverage area in a KIRK
solution. The repeater does not increase the
number of traffic channels, however it
provides a larger physical spreading of the
traffic channels and thereby increases the
coverage area established with the KIRK Base
Stations. The repeaters are mainly used in
areas with limited traffic. The KIRK Repeater
is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It
is wireless and does not need physical
connection to the KIRK Wireless Server,
making it very easy to install. The repeaters
can be supplied with an external antenna
making it possible to create radio coverage in
a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation. .
When deploying, KIRK Repeaters must be installed within the coverage area of the host
Base Station. The RSSI value of the hosting Base Station, (measured at the installation
point of the Repeater), must be 90 or greater.
Repeaters require a standard 120V AC power outlet within 1.8 meters / 6 feet of
placement.
Up to six KIRK Repeaters may be synchronized to a single KIRK Base Station, and a
maximum of 96 Repeaters may be used on a KWS1500.
Repeaters may be configured in multi-cell configuration with multiple Repeaters
assigned to a single Base Station, or in a linear configuration with up to three Repeaters
in a chain.
The Service Tool software is required to program Repeaters. See Service Tool Program
Administration Guide.

The Cable Delay Measurement feature can be found on the Base Station Status tab
located in the Preferences screen. The Preferences option is located in the Options
menu. See KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Administration Program Software Guide,
Section 4.4 Options – Preferences – Base Station Status.

Mounting KIRK Repeaters
It is advisable to use the KIRK Service Tool software and configure the Repeater before
mounting.. Before beginning the installation, determine the position of the repeater for
best coverage. The coverage depends on the construction of the building, architecture,
and the choice of building materials.

The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.
The repeater can be registered to the solution 1) when placed within the
coverage area of a base station, 2) when placed within the coverage area of an
already installed repeater or 3) when placed outside the coverage area using
an external antenna.
The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If the
repeater is placed upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is
decreased by 40 – 50%, and it might not transmit or receive effectively.

Base Station and Repeater installation do’s and don’ts
Base Stations and Repeaters emit a 1.9 GHz radio signal to support Handsets. In order to
receive the best performance from the Base Stations and Repeaters, observe the following
rules:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

The KWS1500 Base Station provides a radio coverage radius of around 47
meters / 150 feet indoors, or up to 106 meters / 350 feet outdoors in direct lineof-sight conditions.
KWS1500 Base Stations should be placed in a central position relative to the
expected usage of the handsets. The points following provide guidelines for
placement of the Base Station.
The Base Station and Repeaters are typically wall mounted.
KIRK Repeaters require local power (standard 120V AC). A dedicated,
conditioned power source is recommended.
The Base Stations and Repeaters MUST be placed vertically and right-side up.
Placing a Base Station or Repeater in any other fashion can reduce radio signal
penetration by up to 50 percent.
Vertical orientation may be observed by the printed stickers located on the rear
of the unit.
Placing Base Stations or Repeaters above ceilings or ceiling tiles is not
recommended.
Placing Base Stations or Repeaters behind furniture or other objects that may
reduce radio signal penetration is not recommended.
Painting of Base Stations or Repeaters or, if mounted externally, their housing or
containers, is not recommended. Paints contain metallic and/or carbon materials
that will reduce radio signal penetration.
Place Base Stations and Repeaters between 1.8 and 2.4 meters / 6 and 8t feet
above floor level.
Do not place Base Stations inside metallic cases. Use plastic enclosures for
external mounting.
Never mount Base Stations or Repeaters to a metallic surface. Metallic surfaces
can cause radio signal reflections.
