NOTICE:

• When disconnecting the LAN cable from the Dante/PoE port, wait at least five seconds before reconnecting the cable. Otherwise, damage or malfunctions may result.

• With a Dante network, do not use the EEE function* of the network switch. Although mutual power consumption settings are automatically adjusted between switches that support the EEE function, some switches do not perform that properly. As a result, the switch's EEE function may be enabled inappropriately in the Dante network, possibly degrading clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio. Therefore, please note the following.

• When using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not use a switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off.

• When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off.
  * EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) function: Technology that reduces the power consumption of Ethernet devices during periods of low network traffic; also known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.

About DECT

DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) is a digital cordless telephone standard established by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in 1988. RM-W is not a cordless telephone device, but uses DECT as a method for wireless audio communication. DECT comprises conventional as well as next-generation DECT. RM-W uses next-generation DECT.

Stable communication

DECT uses the 1.9 GHz band for wireless communication.

Since the 2.4 GHz wireless communication band is used by wireless LAN access points, the many products using this band raise its susceptibility to radio frequency interference.

By using the 1.9 GHz band, DECT is less likely to incur radio frequency interference, ensuring more stable communication.

DECT-related terms

RFPI

RFPI (Radio Fixed Part Identity) is the identification number of the access point for DECT communication.

Yamaha IDs are "035****".

■ RSSI

RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is an indication of the strength of the received signal.

RSSI indicates how strongly a particular WAP is receiving signals from other WAPs. The longer the distance, the smaller the RSSI.

By checking the RSSI, the degree of interference between WAPs can be quantified.

In the [SYSTEM LIST MODE] window of the SITE SURVEY function in RM-WAP Device Manager, the measurement unit for RSSI is dBm.

Cell

Cell is the signal range of a WAP.

■ Same Space

This is the space where multiple cells overlap. Signals from multiple systems affect each other.

■ RF Power Level

RF Power level (Radio Frequency Power level) is the strength of the signals output by a WAP.

By changing this strength, the cell size can be changed.

When installing multiple WAPs, set them up so that their signals do not affect each other.

Reduced signal strength is one cause of sound quality problems. Do not change the signal strength from "Full" unless there is a specific reason.

Carrier

DECT uses the 1.9 GHz band.

The 1.9 GHz band can be divided into smaller frequency bands, and each band partition can be used for separate communications. This method is called FDMA (Frequency-Division Multiple Access), and the carrier waves in these band partitions are called carriers. The number and locations of available carriers in the 1.9 GHz band differ depending on the region (product distribution area). There are 10 carriers in the EU, 5 carriers in the US, and 6 carriers in Japan.

■ Frame and slot

The carrier wave is divided into regular periods called frames. Additionally, a frame is divided into multiple slots.

Frames are transmitted continuously as containers for transmitting audio signals.

By assigning each channel of the audio signal to a different slot, the signals of multiple audio channels can be transmitted simultaneously.

Bearer

Bearers are spaces into which the 1.9 GHz band has been divided along the time and frequency axes.

One bearer can transmit one channel of microphone audio signals.

Different regions have different numbers of carriers and, therefore, different numbers of bearers.

Region Bearers
US 5 Carriers × 24 Slots 120
EU 10 Carriers × 24 Slots 240
JPN 6 Carriers × 24 Slots 144

■ FP (Fixed Part) and PP (Portable Part)

DECT communication involves a relationship between the host unit and client unit.

The host unit is called FP (Fixed Part), and the client unit is called PP (Portable Part).

For this wireless microphone system, the WAP is the FP, and the wireless microphone is the PP.

Unit type Part type	Wireless microphone system
Host Unit FP (Fixed Part)	Wireless Access Point (WAP)
Client Unit PP (Portable Part)	Wireless Microphone

Understanding the [SITE SURVEY] window

The SITE SURVEY function measures signals in the installation environment and displays the signal usage status, signal strength, and estimated number of microphones that can be used. The measurement results can be saved to a file, and the saved file can be imported and displayed. The following explains how to read the measurement results displayed in the [SITE SURVEY] window.

RSSI SCAN MODE

In this mode, the signal usage status of DECT frequencies and the estimated number of microphones that can be used in the installation environment can be checked.

YAMAHA RM-WAP Device Manager LOGDUT AUTO SETUP TOOLS SITE SURVEY UPDATE CONFIGURATION LOGS Discover wireless traffic in the DECT frequencies and estimate the available DECT channels RSSI SCAN MODE SYSTEM LIST MODE STOP Please note: Audio connections to Microphones are disconnected during the Site Survey. 0.0% Record duration (hours)

Microphone Capacity Estimate

This is the estimated number of microphones that can be used.

①Number of bearers (channels)

Available	This indicates the number of free bearers (channels).
Occupied	This indicates the number of bearers (channels) in use.

NOTE: Some bearers (channels) are used for control communication or as reserved areas and are not used for audio communication.

As a result, the number of microphones that can be used is less than the number of free bearers (channels).

② Estimated number of microphones that can be installed in the vicinity

This is the estimated number of microphones that can be used in each mode.

High Density Audio Mode This mode prioritizes the number of microphones.

High Quality Audio Mode This mode prioritizes microphone sound quality.

Microphone Channel usage

This graph shows the usage status of bearers (channels) since the start of measurement.

Microphone Channel usage
This figure shows the number of available and occupied microphone channels since start of the survey.

Vertical axis This indicates the number of bearers (channels).
Horizontal axis This indicates the time since the start of measurement.
Available	This indicates the number of free bearers (channels).
Occupied	This indicates the number of bearers (channels) in use.

DECT Heatmap

This heatmap shows the strength of the received signal of each bearer (channel). A color toward red indicates the bearer (channel) is in use; a color toward green indicates that it is not in use.

Hovering the mouse pointer over a bearer displays the RSSI value for the bearer with the corresponding carrier number and slot number.

DECT Heatmap
This heatmap shows the received signal strength for each DECT channel. Any channel with a signal strength above -62 dBm is deemed to be currently used by another device for DECT communication. If DECT synchronization is not available or not activated, any non-synchronized DECT device will occupy two adjacent channels. For maximized DECT usage please enable synchronization on all devices in the vicinity where possible.

Vertical axis This indicates the carrier number.

Horizontal axis This indicates the slot number.

	A bearer (channel) with a signal strength exceeding -62 dBm can be concluded to be in use for other DECT communications.
	A bearer (channel) with a signal strength below -62 dBm can be concluded not to be in use for DECT communications.

SYSTEM LIST MODE

In this mode, the DECT base units in the installation environment and their signal strengths can be checked.

Devices will be listed with their RFPI (Radio Fixed Part Identity) and the RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator). Devices with a signal strength of -62 dBm or higher might interfere with the DECT communication of the RM-WAP that is running the scan. Interference might lead to unexpected audio loss or microphone disconnections. It is recommended to enable DECT synchronization to synchronize the DECT clock between different WAPs and adjust RF power levels to prevent signal interferences. Please note that RM wireless microphone and other DECT mobile devices, known as Portable Parts, cannot be found in this mode.

RFPI(Radio Fixed Part Identity)	This is the identification number of the access point for DECT communication.Yamaha IDs are “035*******”.
RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator)	This is the strength of the received signal.Devices with a signal strength greater than -62 dBm may interfere with this unit's DECT communications.

NOTE: In this mode, RM wireless microphones and other DECT mobile devices will not be detected.

With [RSSI SCAN MODE] in the SITE SURVEY function, you can check the estimated number of microphones that can be used. If the number of microphones that can be used is inadequate, the issue may be resolved by considering the following.

DECT audio mode

Changing the microphone audio quality changes the number of microphones that can be used.

"High Density" mode allows approximately twice as many microphones to be used as "High Quality" mode.

Setting: [SETTINGS]→[AUDIO]→[DECT Audio Mode]

DECT synchronization (when using multiple RM-WAPs)

Although this system is designed to prevent interference even when multiple RM-WAPs are used, the bearer (channel) range cannot be used effectively, and the number of bearers (channels) that can be used may be halved. This means fewer microphones can be used. In order to resolve this, synchronize the slot timing. Select [DECT Synchronization] on all RM-WAPs that are to be synchronized.

Setting: [SETTINGS]→[DECT]→[DECT Synchronization]

RM-WAP signal strength

It is important to suppress signal interference with other DECT devices.

Set the signal strength according to the usage range of the microphone.

Setting: [SETTINGS]→[DECT]→[RF Power Levels]

RM-WAP installation location

It is important to suppress signal interference with other DECT devices.

If RM-WAP is receiving strong signals from other DECT devices, move it away from those devices. Take into account devices not only in the same room, but also in neighboring rooms as well as on floors above and below.

The strength of signals received from other DECT devices can be checked via [TOOLS]→[SITE SURVEY]→[SYSTEM LIST MODE] in RM-WAP Device Manager.

There are multiple ways to update the firmware.

Using RM Device Finder

RM Device Finder is application software for detecting and controlling ADECIA devices on the network. It can also be used to update the firmware of each device.
