Installation Guidelines
Overview
This section provides general guidelines for installing the Avaya 3810 Wireless
Telephones. Following these guidelines will help ensure satisfactory
performance of the Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones.
Before installing the Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones, keep in mind the
following information:
• If possible, place the base unit in a centralized location relative to the
locations where the Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephone will be used.
• Install the base unit as high as possible so that it clears nearby objects (for
example, office cubicles and file cabinets).
• More than three base units in a confined area will degrade product
performance. Refer to “Determining the Location for the Base Units” on
page 3 to optimize locations of up to 10 base units in a building or desired
coverage area.
• Each Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephone requires its own base unit.

Installation Guidelines
4Overview
Installation and Use
If you have three or fewer Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones, place the base units
in a centralized location. (See Figure 1.)

If you have more than three Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones, go to
“Determining the Location for the Base Units” on page 3.

Determining the Location for the Base Units
To obtain the best possible performance from the Avaya 3810 Wireless
Telephones, you must install the base units in a location that will provide proper
coverage. To determine the location for the base units, perform the following
steps:
1Draw a floor plan of your building. Figure 2 shows the floor plan for a
sample company.
Figure 2: Floor Plan for a Sample Company
2Identify all of the people in your company who will use an Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephone.

3On your floor plan, identify all areas (for example, offices, conference
rooms, and lobbies) where you expect the Avaya 3810 Wireless
Telephones to be used. (See Figure 3.)
4On your floor plan, identify the location where you want to install the base
units for the Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones (for example, a hallway).
Figure 3 shows the completed floor plan and base unit location for the
sample company.

5Using the base unit location as the center, draw a circle with a 160 foot
radius. This circle indicates the coverage area of the base units.
Figure 4 shows the coverage area for the sample company.

6Verify whether the circle encompasses all of the areas where the Avaya
3810 Wireless Telephones will be used.

7Perform one of the following steps:
— If the circle encompasses all of the areas where the Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephones will be used, go to Step 9.
— If the circle does not encompass all of the areas where the Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephones will be used, perform one of the following steps:
• Select a location for the base units that is “centrally
located” within the area where the Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephones will be used. (This new location
should encompass all of the areas where the Avaya
3810 Wireless Telephones will be used.)
• Identify a base unit location for the Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephones that are not covered by the
current base unit location. Draw a circle with a 160
radius around this second base unit location, and verify
that the circle encompasses those Avaya 3810
Wireless Telephones that were not covered by the first
base unit location.

10 Determining the Location for the Base Units
Installation and Use
9After all of the Avaya 3810 Wireless Telephones are covered on your floor
plan, perform one of the following steps:
— If you have one to three base units, install each base unit at least five
feet apart in the selected location. Be sure to install each base unit as
high as possible so it clears nearby objects (for example, office
cubicles and file cabinets). This grouping of base units is referred to as
a cluster.
— If you have four or more base units:
a Install three of the base units in the selected location,
with each base unit being five feet away from another
base unit. Be sure to install each base unit as high as
possible so it clears nearby objects (for example, office
cubicles and file cabinets). This grouping of base units is
referred to as a cluster.
bSelect a location that is at least 30 feet away from the
cluster, and install another cluster of up to three base
units. Within this new cluster, make sure each base unit
is five feet away from another base unit. Be sure to
install each base unit as high as possible so it clears
nearby objects (for example, office cubicles and file
cabinets).
cRepeat Step b until all of the base units are installed.
When you are finished determining the location for the base units, install the
base units and perform a test call from each handset. Be sure to walk to all areas
where the handset will be used so you can determine whether the voice quality is
acceptable.
