Step 5: Check the Equipment List
1. Before installation, check the system components against the packing list and inspect all 
equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact the supplier immediately.
2. Ensure that the following Toshiba-supplied equipment was delivered:
©BSIA or RWIU PCBs
©PC cable with DB9 or DB25 adapter (BSIA)
©RWIU Manager interface cable (6-pin connector)
©Power supplies 
©Optional power supply for locally powered Base Stations
©Base Stations, handsets, and Charger Bases
©Strata AirLink Manager and RWIU Manager software (two floppy disks)
Step 6: Purchase Additional Equipment
äEnsure that the following equipment has been purchased:
©PC (for the Strata AirLink Manager software)
©BSIA grounding wire (for gauge requirements, see Table 16-37 on Page 16-88)
©BSIA external alarm (see Page 16-16 for specifications)
©Cable for the Base Stations (see Page 16-16 for specifications)
©ONEAC five-pin analog protector for outside Base Station installation
Step 7: Select Suitable Locations
1. Pick locations for your system components that are dry and clean, well ventilated and 
illuminated, and easily accessible.
The indoor/outdoor locations must not be subject to:
©Extreme heat or cold
©Corrosive fumes, dust, or other 
airborne contaminants
©Excessive vibration
2. Do not place the components next to televisions, radios, or high-frequency equipment.
Step 8: Set Up Temporary Installation
Important!It is recommended that you use the Toshiba Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand 
instead of setting up a temporary installation. If the test stand is used, skip this step 
and go to Step 9.
Setting up a temporary installation helps to determine proper Base Station placement without 
permanently cabling any components. A BER test can be easily conducted to determine the proper 
Base Station placement for maximum signaling. The BER test is a password-protected function of 
an initialized handset.

One BSIA or RWIU, one Base Station, and one handset is all that is required to conduct the BER 
test. To initialize the BSIA system, see Steps 7~9 on Page 16-19. To initialize the RWIU system, 
see Step 11 on Page 16-45.
Step 9: Use the Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand
The Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand verifies the Base Station positioning prior to system 
activation or during the site survey. It generates an audible tone for the handset to lock onto, 
verifies BER status, and can be moved to validate the best locations for each Base Station.
Substep A: Before You Begin
1. Ensure that the following materials are available:
©Strata AirLink Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand
©Base Station power supply with cord
©One or more handsets with batteries fully charged

Substep B: Set Up the Base Station
1. Determine the best location for a Base Station. See “Review System Component Placement” 
on Page 16-3 for more information.
2. Temporarily place the Stand-alone Base Station Test Stand as close as possible to the selected 
Base Station location with the proper orientation (vertical or horizontal).
NoteWhen testing with a Base Station, be sure to rotate all four antennas to a 90° angle.
3. Plug the Base Station power supply into the +5VDC connector of the test stand (located on the 
bottom) and into a 110VAC outlet.
4. Watch the LEDs on the front of the test stand until all red LEDs are out and only the green 
LED is lit.

Substep E: Perform the Handset Bit Error Rate (BER) Test
1. Simulate real use rather than 
trying to get the best readings 
by:
©Perform tests in all 
possible areas that users 
may carry their 
handsets.
©Remain in an area long 
enough to get an 
accurate reading. BER 
readings can take a few 
seconds to register. It is 
recommended that you 
stand still for an 
accurate reading.
©Test specific Base 
Stations. Handsets do 
not perform handoff 
during BER tests so that 
you can test each Base 
Station
2. In idle mode, press 


.
3. Press 
$%&, then &$//.
4. Make a 360 degree circle to 
check the signal from 
different directions.
See Table 16-4 for BER test readings. In the example 
above, 
02 indicates the Base Station ID, MAX is the 
handset receive signal, and 
GOOD is the Base Station 
receive signal.
5. Keep the handset slightly 
raised.
Important!Mark the floor plan where the LCD 
permanently changes from 
MAX to GOOD 
(indicating the beginning of the handoff 
overlap area) and where the LCD 
permanently changes from 
GOOD to POOR 
(indicating the end of the coverage area).

Step 10: Mount the Base Stations
1. Determine a location (see “Set Up Temporary Installation” on Page 16-9) that provides the 
best coverage before mounting the Base Station permanently.
2. Use locations that reduce attenuation and create a clear line of sight.
3. Always mount the Base Stations in a centralized location in open, symmetrical areas.
NoteBase Station placement guidelines are provided in “Review Possible System 
Configurations” on Page 16-5.
lTo ceiling mount the Base Station
1. Rotate Base Station antennas to 
expose the mounting tabs (see 
Figure 16-13). 
2. Mark the mounting tab position on 
the ceiling by holding the Base 
Station in place to use as a guide 
for drilling.
3. Drill the four holes in the ceiling.
Important!Do not mount Base Stations on movable surfaces such as acoustic drop ceilings. 
Mounting a Base Station above a non-metallic dropped ceiling is acceptable.
4. Insert anchors into the drilled holes.
5. Insert #8 screws in the anchors, leaving a gap between the ceiling and screw head.
6. Mount the Base Station on the screws and tighten the screws.
7. Rotate the antennas so that they are perpendicular to the Base Station (facing down).6. Walk while performing the 
test, but pause occasionally 
for the best readings.

BSIA System Installation
This section describes specific installation steps for the BSIA system. It interfaces to Strata DK16, 
DK16e, DK40, DK40i, DK280, and DK424 and many non-Toshiba telephone systems using 
standard telephone ports.
Step 1: Install the Analog Line Module (ALM)
NoteSkip this step and go to Step 7 if ALM PCB was not purchased.
The BSIA motherboard comes configured to support a maximum of 8 handset users (upgradeable 
to 16, 24, or 32). Additional groups of eight users can be installed using the ALM PCB.
CAUTION!When installing, removing, or examining PCBs, do not touch the soldered 
(back) side or “gold” plate at the edge of the PCB.

Step 2: Run the Cable
1. Run the cable from the Base Stations to the BSIA, using the following maximum cabling 
distances:
©2,000 feet for line power
©3,300 feet for local power
2. Use Category 5 cable. Using a mix of Categories 2, 3, 4, and 5 is acceptable, but can affect the 
total possible cable length. See Figure 16-19 on Page 16-17 for the wiring diagram.
3. Connect the transmit cable 
(pair 21 or 25) to the receive 
side (see Figure 16-17).
4. Connect the receive cable (pair 
20 or 24) to the transmit jack 
(see Figure 16-17).
Step 3: Activate the External Critical Alarm (Optional)
NoteThe BSIA system is not equipped with an external critical alarm. If one was not 
purchased, skip this Step.
1. Connect pair 22 on connector block P1 
to one input on the external alarm device 
(see Figure 16-18).
2. Connect tip (normally closed) or ring 
(normally open) of pair 23 on P1 to the 
other input of the alarm device.
Step 4: Determine the Base Station Power Supply
A Base Station can receive input (line) power from the BSIA or an optional local power supply. 
Using a local power supply increases the distance Base Stations can be located from the BSIA.
Toshiba provides an optional universal 110/230VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply with a barrel-jack 
connection to the Base Station (see Figure 16-20 on Page 16-18).
Customers with 220VAC outlets can:
©Purchase another power cord to fit the universal connector (three-pronged IEC 320 power 
inlet) on the power supply.
©Replace the 110VAC plug on the cable with an appropriate 220VAC plug.
©Connect a North American 220VAC adapter to the 110VAC plug.

Step 5: Connect the Power Supply
äFor AC power, use the power supply that comes with the BSIA system. It has a universal input 
(110/220VAC), operates at 50~60 Hz, and provides -48VDC.
NoteThe power supply includes a cable with a 
barrel-jack connection (see Figure 16-20) 
to the BSIA and 110VAC cable.
CAUTION!Connect to power, but do not 
power on until the entire system 
is cabled.
lTo connect to power when -48VDC is required
1. For DC power, a power cord with the following is required:
©18 AWG wire
©2.1mm ID x 5.5mm barrel jack (Switchcraft, Inc. S765 or equivalent) with minus (–) 
potential center lead and positive (+) shield lead
2. Connect the barrel jack to the BSIA at J1 (see Figure 16-20).
NoteBattery source requirements are -44 to -56VDC @2 amps. An inline, slow-blow fuse rated 
3 amps @250VAC must be installed as close as possible to the battery source on the minus 
potential side.
3. To prevent accidental removal of the power cord connected to J1 on the BSIA, tie wrap the 
power cord to the power strain relief above the ground screw on the BSIA (see Figure 16-22).
Step 6: Connect the PC
1. Insert one end of the RS-232-C 
cable with a DB9 or DB25 adapter 
into the serial port in the back of the 
PC (see Figure 16-21).
2. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the 
back of the BSIA (J2) (see Figure 
16-22)
