b. Dial the number of a working telephone. The telephone
must ring to confirm the registration.
3. Receive a call.
a. If the portable has the same extension number as a desk
telephone,make surethe desktelephone is idle and Call

b. On another working telephone, dial the telephone
number of the registered portable. The portable must
ring to confirm the registration.
If you donot hear dialtone, or ifthe portable does notring,
refer to “Troubleshooting” in Meridian Companion
Installation and Maintenance Guide. If you continue to
experience difficulty registering the portable, contact your
distributor.
Deregistering the C3060
You can deregister the C3060 in several ways:
• from the portable
• from the Administration Terminal (refer to Meridian
Companion Administration Terminal Operations Guide)
• from Companion Manager (refer to Companion Manager
Installation and Operations Guide)
Deregistering the C3060 from the portable clears registration
information stored in the portable and the system. For
example, you may want to deregister the portable before you
assign it to another WTN on the same system.
Deregistering the C3060 from the Administration Terminal or
from Companion Manager does not clear registration data
from the portable. (You could use this method if the portable
were lost or stolen or if you wanted to assign it to another
system.)

Measuring RSSI for a C3060
The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a
measurement of the signal strength the Base Station receives
from the portable. The Base Station controls the power
transmitting mode of the portable. When the Base Station
receives a weak signal, it instructs the portable to transmit in
high-power. When the Base Station receives a strong signal, it
instructs the portable to transmit in low-power. The strongest
RSSI value the display shows is -35 dBm. The weakest RSSI
value the display shows is approximately -94 to -100 dBm.
Measuring undirected RSSI
You can measure the signal strength between a portable and a
system-selected Base Station using undirected RSSI.
1. Press m.
The display shows MENU.
2. Press ,or.until the displayshows Feature request
.
3. Press SELCT . The display shows A- .
4. Press *898. The display shows the cell
number, the radio ID of the Base Station to which the
portable is linked, the power mode (high or low), followed
by the signal strength and the channel. For example, 8
15112 H 67 29.

P0881594 Issue 02 MICS-XC Norstar-Companion Installer Guide
You can alsopress ⁄ to view the informationin “standard”
display mode. This mode displays the radio ID of the Base
Station to which the portable is linked, followed by the
signal strengthand power mode. For example, 15112 - 67
H. You can revert back to the initial display mode by
pressing ƒ.
Hand-off occurs normally between the cells.
Note: In this example, the cell is 8, the card is 15, the port is
11, the radio is 2, and the channel is 29. The signal
strengthmeasured bythe Base Station is -67 dBm, and
the H indicates the portable is transmitting in high-
power mode (an L indicates low-power mode).
5. To end the connection, press k.
Measuring directed RSSI
You may want to measure the RSSI between a portable and a
specificBase Station radio. Forexample, youmay suspect that
one of the tworadios ina Base Stationis notworking properly.
You can also use directed RSSI to prevent hand-off while you
find a cell edge. To measure the RSSI of a specific radio, you
must be in range of two Base Stations—the one you want to
measure and another Base Station.
Note: You cannot measure thedirected RSSIof both radiosin
the Base Station at the same time.
Before you measure directed RSSI, use Meridian Companion
Programming and Provisioning Record to find and note the
following:

• The five-digit ID of the Base Station radio you want to
measure, bymapping theBaseStation locationto theTCM
port. The first four digits indicate the TCM port to which
the Base Station is connected. The last digit indicates the
number of the radio on the Base Station. For example, the
number 03142 on the Base Station is connected to TCM
port 0314, and 2 is the radio number. The five-digit
number might be printed on a label attached to the Base
Station mounting bracket.
• The radio IDs of all other Base Stations in the same
location.
1. Follow steps 1 to 5 of “Measuring undirected RSSI’’ on
page 94.
If the display shows the ID of a Base Station neighboring
the one you want to measure, proceed to step 2.
If the display shows the ID of the Base Station you want to
measure, move out of the cell boundary range so that hand-
off occurs and then continue with step 2.
2. Press m.The display shows MENU.
3. Press ,or .until the display shows Feature
request.
4. Press SELCT . The display shows A- .
5. Press *899.
6. Enter the five-digit ID code for the Base Station radio you
want to measure. The display shows the cell number, the
radioID ofthe BaseStation towhich the portable islinked,
the power mode (high or low), followed by the signal
strength and the channel. For example,
8 15112 H 67 29.
