Chapter 2
Introduction

This chapter delivers an overview of iPECS IP DECT system with an introduction to the IP
DECT system, components, and general specifications.

2.1 System Overview

The iPECS IP DECT system functions with an iPECS call server to deliver a multi-
channel/multi-user cordless phone capability to an overall iPECS solution. The IP DECT system
consists of an IP DECT base station(s) (GDC-800Bi) that acts as the gateway between the
iPECS host and the DECT radio, IP DECT Repeaters (GDC-800R) that register with a base
station to extend radio coverage, and IP DECT handsets (GDC-800H).

Each base station forms a cell supporting up to 10 simultaneous calls with up to 30 registered
handsets. Using the DECT air interface, the base station provides coverage of up to 300 meters
(~1000 feet) open field line-of-sight and 50 meters (~150 feet) typical in building. Multiple base
stations can be linked forming a multi-cell DECT coverage zone with roaming and active-call
handover supported within the zone. A multi-cell configuration, which may consist of up to 40
base stations, is used to extend the coverage area, number of handsets (200), and number of
simultaneous calls (200). Up to 8 simultaneous calls can be supported by each base station in a
multi-cell configuration.

The base station installs easily with a single wired connection to a PoE 10/100Base-T switch
port. The IP DECT system is managed through an intuitive web browser management
application in the base station. This web manager is used to configure the base station, and
register repeaters and DECT handsets to the base station. The web manager provides access
to various logs that are useful in troubleshooting. The base station incorporates over-the-air
software upgrade and synchronization of repeaters, handsets, and base stations in multi-cell
networks.

The figure below is a graphical overview of the iPECS IP DECT solution.

Note
1 The number of simultaneous calls is dependent on the frequency bands available in the
region, the codecs supported, and the cell configuration. The frequency band determines the
number of available channels and thus the maximum number of calls per base station. The
following apply:
 For regions employing the US frequencies, five channels are available and, in other regions,
10 channels are available.
 Using the G.722 broadband codec, two channels are required for each conversation
reducing the available number of channels by half.
 In a multi-cell arrangement, two channels of each base station are employed for over the air
synchronization and cell-to-cell communication. These two channels are also employed
when a repeater is associated with the base station.

Base Station & Repeater Installation

In this chapter, an overview of the installation as well as details for mounting of the base
stations and repeaters is provided.

3.1 Overview
As with installation of any RF system, planning is critical to the successful installation of the
iPECS IP DECT solution. There are four steps to a successful deployment:

１. Determine the probable location of the base stations and repeaters. Appendix A provides
guidelines to identify the likely location of base stations and repeaters.
２. Temporarily place base stations in the probable location and connect to an Ethernet switch
port with PoE. Conduct an RF site survey to map the signal strength and identify the
location for optimal RF coverage and capacity. Appendix B provides instructions for using a
GDC-800H handset to conduct the survey.
３. Permanently mount the base stations and repeaters as discussed later in this chapter.
４. Configure the base stations and iPECS host. The base station configuration is covered
in Chapter 4 of this guide. The administration guide for the specific iPECS host provides
instructions for configuring the host. Note each IP DECT Extension is a SIP user Id that
must be configured in the host.

 4.2.2.3 Registering a Handset
A handset is linked to each extension through the registration process. When an
extension is added to a base station, the IPEI, which identifies the registered
handset linked to the extension, displays as “FFFFFFFFFF”. The handset
registration is managed from the Extension list. The handset can be registered,
deregistered or deleted using the links shown below the list.

Note
Prior to handset registration, the Multi-cell menu must be configured for proper
registration.

To register a handset to an extension,

１. Check the box in front of the index for the desired extension.
２. Select the “Register Handset(s)” link located below the Extensions list. The
base station will now allow a handset to register to the extension for a period of

 4.2.6 Firmware Update
The firmware operating in an iPECS IP DECT device can be changed employing a
TFTP or HTTP server. In the web manager, the update server parameters are
defined, and the base station and connected components are directed to update.
The base station contacts the server and requests the specific files. These files are
then loaded into the device. Note that handsets and repeaters update over the air
through their sync source.

Note
Time-outs defined in the upgrade server should consider that repeaters and
handsets upgrade over the air. We recommend a minimum of ten seconds. An
example for a common TFTP server is shown in the figure below.

4.2.6.1 Update Server Directories

During the update process, the base station will request specific files from the
update server. The base station will request the server provide files for specific
devices from a specific sub-directory. The appropriate files must be located in the
sub-directory in the configured firmware directory path. The path and file names are:

 /Electra/Electra_vXXXX.fwu base station upgrade file

 /Raffle/Raffle_vXXXX.fwu handset upgrade file
 /DECT4024/DECT4024_vXXXX.fwu, repeater upgrade file

34 GDC-800Bi Installation and Administration Guide - Issue 2.0

 Note
The Electra, Raffle, DECT4024 sub-directory and file names must be used for
proper firmware update.

4.2.6.2 Base Station Update

Before setting the Firmware update configuration, the Syslog under the
Management menu should be set to debug. This can later be used as a verification
tool if needed.
The Firmware Upate menu includes settings for the update server address and path,
and handset, base station and repeaters, if installed. The base station(s) is updated
then the handset and repeaters are updated.

On the page,
１. Enter the upgrade server address.
２. Enter the firmware directory path to locate the sub-directory. Do not include the

４. Enter the required firmware version for the base station. The required version
must be available in the upgrade server.
５. Select “Start Update” and, in the pop-up, select “OK”. It will take 3 to 5 minutes
to download the upgrade file then the base station will reboot and requires
approximately an additional 3 minutes to configure the new firmware.

NOTE
When “Start Update” is selected, all active voice calls are terminated and the base
station will be unavailable until the upgrade is complete.

4.2.6.3 Verify Base Station Update

The firmware version of the base station can be verified on the Home/Status page.
The firmware version of other base stations in the same multi-cell zone can be
viewed in the Multi-cell menu.

 4.2.7 Time
An SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server is defined as well as DST
(Daylight Savings Time) to support time synchronization between base stations and
handsets. The NTP server supplies the time to the base station. The time is
employed to schedule synchronization in a multi-cell environment, and checks for
new configuration and firmware files. The time is also employed in the system and
SIP logs.

If changes are made to the Time Server configuration, the base station must reboot
to reset the time. This will occur automatically when the changes are saved.

NOTE
For a single base station cell, the time server is not required but is recommended.
Changing the time-server will cause a reboot of the base station and multi-cell zone
base stations attempt to synchronize with its DECT sync source. The
synchronization process may take up to 15 minutes depending on the number of
base stations and levels in the base station chains.
For Australia, Brazil, Canada and the USA, the Country menu can be used to select
the appropriate DST settings.

 4.2.11 Multi-cell
This section describes the parameters for multi-cell configurations. In a multi-cell
configuration, base stations and repeaters are linked in a chain using two of the
DECT RF channels for synchronization and sharing information. One base station
can be the DECT sync source for another, which, in turn, can be the sync source for
another base station, forming levels in the chain. A maximum of 13 levels including
the “Primary level” can be configured. Details to set up a multi-cell zone are given
in Appendix E.

The page is divided into five sections:

 Multi-cell Status
 Settings for this unit
 DECT system settings
 Base system settings
 Base Station Group
 DECT Chain

4.2.11.1 Multi-Cell Status

The Multi Cell Status indicates the state of the base station with regard to the
assigned multi-cell. When connected, the status indicates the timing of the last IP
sync packet from the DECT sync source and the “Keep-alive” status indicating that
a base station is connected.

4.2.11.2 Settings for this unit

Multi-cell operation must be enabled for each base station in a multi-cell zone. The
chain Id, and sync parameters must also be defined.

multi-cell debug messages in the syslog.
Valid input: the recommended setting for normal
operation is “None”.

GDC-800Bi Installation and Administration Guide - Issue 2.0 49

 None: no debug information is stored in the syslog
Data Sync: headers for all packets sent and received are
logged. This generates significant syslog data; Data Sync
should be employed only for a short period.
Auto Tree: logs the state and data related to the Auto
Tree Configuration that is enabled under the DECT
System Settings “Auto configure DECT sync source tree”
parameter.
Both: both Data Sync and Auto Tree are enabled. As this
generates high volumes of syslog data do not enable

 4.2.12 Repeaters
The IP DECT Repeater (GDC-800R) is used to extend the RF coverage of a base
station. Each base station can support a maximum of three repeaters; and a
maximum of 100 repeaters can be supported in a multi-cell system. Note when
repeaters are employed, two of the base station’s DECT RF channels are required
for signaling between the base station and repeater.

Selecting the “Repeaters” menu returns the Repeater list as shown below. In the
chart below, repeaters can be checked for deletion, registration or deregistration.

Parameter Description
Idx An index for the repeater assigned consecutively as repeaters are
added. For a single base station cell, the index will be from 0 to 2. For a
multi-cell set-up, the index can be from 0 to 99.
RPN The RPN is a geographically unique 2-digit hexadecimal number
preceded by “RPN”.
IPEI This column indicates the IPEI of the registered repeater. If a repeater
has not been registered for the index, “FFFFFFFFFF” is shown.

 strongest RF signal for use as the DECT sync source.
 Chaining Automatical – not supported at this time
３. If the DECT sync mode is “Manually”, enter the appropriate RPN and DECT
sync source for the repeater.
４. Select “Save” to save the changes.

Parameter Description
RPN Single base station
For a single base station system, the base station always uses RPN00.
The repeaters will use RPN01 to RPN03 from the first to last repeater.
Multi-cell system
RPNs are a two-digit hexadecimal number. In a multi-cell zone, base
station RPNs are incremented by 4, so base station RPNs are 00, 04,
08, 0c, 10, 14, etc. The RPN for the repeater follow the associated base
station. Repeater RPNs for base station RPN 00 are RPN 01, 02, 03
and for base station 0c the repeater RPNs are 0d, 0e and 0f.
Valid input: two-digit hexadecimal number following the associated
base station.
DECT sync The DECT sync source is the device (base station or repeater) within
source the RF range of the repeater that will provide synchronization to the
repeater. The available sync sources display in the drop-down.
Valid input: RPN of base station or repeater in the repeater’s RF
coverage area.

4.2.12.2 Registering a Repeater

After adding a repeater to the list, a repeater can be registered to the sync source.
The check box for the index is checked and the “Register Repeater(s)” link is
selected. The base station will allow the repeater to register. Once registration is
complete, the IPEI of the registered repeater is shown in the list along with its state

Appendix A
Planning a DECT Install

This chapter describes the radio network planning techniques including detailed capacity and
coverage planning for the iPECS IP DECT system.

A.1 Planning Overview

Planning begins with a dimensioned plane view drawing of the site. After analysis of the site
and the capacity requirements, probable locations for the base stations and repeaters are
established. Once the probable locations are identified, an RF site survey, see Appendix B, is
conducted to refine the locations for the base stations and repeaters to meet the needs of the
customer.

A.2 Deployment Considerations

Major factors that influence the location of base stations and repeaters include:

 Attenuation – the reduction in signal strength over distance

 Signal fading – signal degradation due to reflections
 Noise – extraneous background signals
 Cell calling capacity, simultaneous calls
 Handover – active call transition between cells
 Network connectivity –base station connection to the network
 AC power – power to repeaters

A.2.1 Attenuation & Fading

DECT radio components transmit at about 10 dbm and can receive signals reliably at -72 dbm.
Thus, DECT radios have a range of about 82 dbm extending in all directions from a base
station or repeater. This correlates to distances of 300 meters (~1,000 feet) in an open-air
environment.
In an office environment, the RF signal is reflected and scattered by office furnishings, walls,
filing cabinets, etc. thus reducing the effective range. For in-building deployments, the typical
maximum range is about 50 meters (~160 feet) line-of-site but may range from 25 meters or
less in difficult environments to 100 meters or more in an open area or hallway. Note that
furnishings such as metal cabinets, venetian blinds, metal film backed plasterboard, cubicle

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 a-1

 walls, etc. cause higher attenuation and reflections. In these environments, a lower coverage
range should be expected.

A.2.2 Noise
Office and manufacturing equipment such as FAX machines, copiers, main fuse panels,
microwave ovens, arc welders, etc. create significant levels of RF noise. These high noise
sources can interfere with the base station, repeater and handset radio receivers. Even though
the DECT signals are within the normal limits, the noise levels swamp the receiver. The
handset user can move to a location further away from such noise emitters but the base station
and repeater locations are fixed. To reduce the effect of noise on base stations and repeaters,
they should be located as far away from noise sources as possible. As a rule of thumb, locate
IP DECT components at least 6 meters away from the noise source.

A.2.3 Cell Capacity

In a single cell site, the base station can support up to 10 simultaneous calls. In a multi-cell
structure, two of the DECT RF channels are employed to synchronize the base stations thus,
each base station supports a maximum of 8 simultaneous calls and a maximum of 200 in the
zone. In cases where the number of calls required in a given area exceeds the capacity of a
base station, additional base stations or repeaters may be installed with overlapping coverage.
For example in a large conference room or cafeteria where a concentration of handsets may
exceed the limits for a base station, multiple base stations can be installed with a significant
overlap. In this case, the base stations might be located at opposite corners of the area but
should have at least a 6-meter separation so as not to create interference between the base
stations.
Note that each repeater can handle 5 simultaneous calls and each base station can handle up
to 3 repeaters. Repeaters should also have a separation of 6 meters from the base station and
other repeaters.

A.2.4 Handover distance

As a handset moves within a coverage zone, the RF connection must change from one base
station or repeater to another. While on a call, this handover between base stations/repeaters
should be seamless so that conversations are not impacted. By installing base stations and
repeaters with overlapping coverage, the handset can maintain an RF connection with the caller.
The typical walking speed is about 1.5 meters/second and the handover may require 5 to 10
seconds. Thus, an overlap of about 10 meters should provide sufficient overlap for seamless
handovers.

A.2.5 Network Connectivity

Base stations require a connection to an Ethernet LAN port. The port must support PoE at 2.5
watts. The base station is connected to the port with at least Cat 5 cabling and the standard
LAN wiring distance (100 meters) applies.

a-2 GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0

 A.2.6 AC Power
Repeaters communicate with their respective base station over a DECT RF channel. However,
the repeater requires a connection to AC power. The AC power connection must be within 2
meters of the repeater location to allow the repeater AC/DC adapter to reach the AC power.

A.3 Base station/Repeater Placement

There is no single strategy for deploying base stations. These are some recommended base
station and repeater placement strategies:

A.3.1 General placement Suggestions

 The base station should never be placed at the ceiling; the unit should be mounted as high
as possible to provide as much line-of-sight coverage as possible.
 In some cases, slightly turning the unit on the horizontal axis may improve coverage.
 Base stations and repeaters should not be deployed near large metallic objects.

A.3.2 Corridors:
Base stations and repeaters should be deployed at corridor intersections where propagation
patterns tend to follow the corridor patterns. The base station or repeater should point towards
the corridor and mounted above any high objects in the area. Note that a wall of filing cabinets
will obstruct propagation of the DECT signals.

A.3.3 Multi-Story Buildings:

Base stations and repeaters can be installed on opposite sides of the floors to deliver floor-to-
floor coverage. Note that common reinforced concrete in multi-story buildings significantly
attenuates the DECT signal, reducing the signal by approximately 30 dB. Floor-to-floor
propagation must be verified due to variations in local attenuation patterns.

A.3.4 Open Areas/Large Halls:

Base stations and repeaters can be deployed in open areas for buildings that contain a central
open space area with windows to the other areas. This provides a good coverage for the rooms
in the outer circle (e.g. hotels).
In large halls, base stations and repeaters should be installed as high as possible but no less
than 0.1 meters from the ceiling. The unit may be installed vertically in the middle of the space
below a drop ceiling. When mounted vertically, the radio coverage in front of base stations and
repeaters is twice as large as the coverage at the rear.

A.4 Facility Survey

The deployment considerations and placement recommendations should be kept in mind when
establishing the probable location for the base stations and repeaters in an IP DECT system.
Conduct a facility survey to locate issues that may arise such as reinforced concrete floors,
power locations, network access, noise sources, etc. Once established the location should be

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 a-3

 clearly marked on the dimensioned plane facility drawing. In addition, map the expected
coverage on the drawing by drawing a circle at the expected edge of the coverage area for
each base station and repeater as shown in the figure below.
An RF site survey, see Appendix B, is then conducted to refine the probable locations.

a-4 GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0

Appendix B
Conducting an RF Site Survey

This chapter discusses the steps to conduct an RF site survey using the GDC-800H IP DECT
handset. The survey results are used to refine the location of base stations and repeaters once
a probable location has been identified.

B.1 Survey Overview

The survey is simply a matter of temporarily placing each device in the probable location then,
with a GDC-800H, locating the edge of the coverage area and marking the plane drawing.
During the survey, the location of the base stations and repeaters is refined to improve
coverage, capacity and handover by assuring sufficient overlap.

B.2 Conducting the Survey

The IP DECT handset incorporates a survey application under the Service menu. In the survey
mode, the LCD of the handset displays the strength of RF signals from nearby DECT base
stations. In addition to the signal strength, error rates are displayed.
Using the displayed information, the -72 dBm coverage area can be located by walking about
the base station or repeater.
To conduct the survey, first assure all DECT radios in the area are disconnected from power
then:
１. Turn on the GDC-800H handset and access the Site survey mode. For details, refer to the
GDC-800H Service Mode Management Guide.
a. Press the Menu button
b. Dial the Service mode access code, “SERVICE” (digits *7378423*)
c. From the Service menu, turn ‘On’ the Site survey mode.

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 b-1

 Line1: RPN 28 20 03
Line2: -dBm 56 84 78
Line3: FE PP: 1 FP: 4

２. Place the base station or repeater in the probable location and connect to an active PoE
switch port or AC power. After the device boots, the signal strength displays in the handset
display.
３. Walk to the edge of the coverage area, minimum signal strength of -72dBm is required.
Mark the location and signal strength on the plane drawing.
４. Repeat at several locations around the base station or repeater and draw the coverage
area on the site drawing.
５. Disconnect the base station or repeater and repeat the procedure with the next base
station or repeater.
６. During the survey, modify the base station or repeater locations as needed to provide
improved service, generally a larger signal overlap.
７. Once the survey is complete, install each base station and repeater in the final location.

NOTE
Assure that only one base station or repeater is active at a time and any other DECT equipment
that may be in the area is turned ‘Off’.

B.3 Verifying Placement

Once the survey is complete and base stations and repeaters are installed and configured, a
live handover and traffic test should be conducted. During this test, statistics as in the table
below can be collected and any minor placement change can be instituted. The GDC-800H
survey mode can be used to display the five strongest RF signals.
Note that multiple calls should be established within each cell to assure appropriate capacity.
This may be accomplished by calling from one GDC-800H to another while in the same cell
coverage area.

Appendix C
Configuration File Download

This chapter provides an overview of the operation of the automated configuration download.

C.1 Download Process

During a power up or reset, the base station can download files with its configuration
information. The configuration file is an ASCII file described under the Configuration
menu, section 4.2.14. This file lists all the configuration parameters in the web manager and
allows the administrator to modify any of the parameters.
Configuration file download is controlled by the DHCP Option and Management menus
configuration. With the DHCP Option menu enabled, see section 4.2.4.3, the base station
requests Option 66 information from the DHCP server. Option 66 identifies the TFTP server
where configuration files for the base station are located. The base station retrieves the time
from an SNTP server then contacts the TFTP server and requests the configuration file named
with its MAC address (<base station MAC address>.cfg). The file must be located in the “/config”
directory in the path defined in the Management menu. After successfully completing the
download, the configuration is placed in active memory and, if required, the base station
reboots.
The Management menu, see section 4.2.5, defines the type of download server (TFTP or
HTTP). In addition, the types of files (single or multi-cell) for download are defined. One or both
the single base station file, named with the base station MAC address, and the multi-cell file,
named after the chain Id (<multi-cell chain id>.cfg) can be downloaded. Both files must be
located in the “/config” directory in the path identified in the Management menu. The multi-cell
configuration file must be downloaded only by a base station assigned as a primary DECT sync
source.

Appendix D
Central Directory file handling

This appendix describes the steps to import the Local Central Directory using the web manager
or download from an external TFTP or HTTP server.

D.1 Central Directory File

When employing the Local Central Directory, a contact list file using a .csv, txt or xml format
may be used. This file can be imported using the web manager or downloaded by the base
station from an external TFTP or HTTP server. The figure below shows an example of the
contact list file in csv and txt and xml formats.

Note
The following limitations for csv and txt files should be considered.
The Contact name will be truncated to 23 characters.
The Contact Name and number must be separated by a comma with no space.
The Contact name must not include a comma.
Contact number is limited to 21 dial pad digits. Entries greater than this limit are discarded
without notification.
The contact number can include any dial pad digits but cannot contain any alphabet characters.

D.2 Importing the Central Directory

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 d-1
 In the Central Directory menu, select the import function. In the import screen,
１. Select “Browse”
２. Browse to the file to upload and click “Open”

３. On the Import Central Directory page, click “Load”. This will import the selected file to the
base station Local Central Directory.
４. At completion of the import, the success screen appears for about 3 seconds.

５. To verify the import, using a registered DECT handset open the Central Directory where
the imported contact list should be populated.

D.3 Central Directory Download

Alternatively, the Contact list file in a csv, txt or xml format can be downloaded from and
external TFTP or HTTP server. The file is downloaded by the base station as part of the base
station reset cycle. The base station must be configured for the download function as follows:
In the Management menu, select the “Management Transfer Protocol” then select “Save”. The

d-2 GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0

 transfer protocol can be TFTP or HTTP depending on the external server.

１. In the Central Directory page, enter Server IP address including the complete path to the
file in the external server.
２. Enter the “Filename” as stored in the external server then select “Save”.

３. Reboot the base station using the base station Reset button or the Reboot selection on the
Home/Status page.
４. After the reboot is complete, verify the import, using a registered DECT handset, open the
Central Directory where the imported contact list should be populated

Appendix E
Multi-cell Setup & Management

This appendix discusses implications of the office structure when deploying iPECS IP DECT
and describes the procedure to configure multiple base stations to form a zone. Within the zone,
base stations in the same RF coverage permit handsets to roam and active calls can be
switched between the bases stations (handover).

E.1 Base Station Cell Configurations

The office structure fits into one of three scenarios. These include:

 Single cell, isolated base station

 Multi-cell zone, co-located base stations
 Multi-cell zone, several isolated base station groups.

E.1.1 Single Cell Isolated Buildings

The single cell environment addresses the need of small and branch offices, or in larger offices
where only a small area requires coverage, e.g. coverage for a warehouse. For these
deployments, as shown in the figure below, multi-cell operation for the base station must be
disabled, the default. Follow the install process in section E.2 of this Appendix skipping the
Multi-cell configuration in step 4.

E.1.2 Multi-Cell Co-located Base Station

In a business environment such as a department store, single site mid-sized enterprise, etc.,
base stations are co-located with sufficient RF overlap. This multi-cell structure permits roaming
and handover between the base stations in the location. This is depicted in the figure below. In
these deployments, no one base station may have wireless access to all others so multiple

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 e-1

 DECT sync source levels are set-up. In this case, base station RPN 10, which is the primary
source, is the source for RPN 0C and 14. Base stations RPN 08, 04 and 00 in turn, synchronize
to the previous base station forming four levels – RPN 00 to 04 to 08 to 0C. Note the primary is
not considered a “Level” and IP DECT system supports up to 12 levels. The Base Station
Group chart in the Multi-cell menu would appear as shown in the chart below. The basic install
steps are shown in section E.2 of this Appendix.

E.1.3 Isolated Base Station Groups

In this scenario, multi-cell systems are deployed at different locations; geographically separated
from each other. Each location has a separate base station configured as the primary DECT
sync source for the location with multiple secondary base stations. Although roaming is
available, since there is no overlap in the RF coverage between locations, handover is not
supported from location to location. This scenario is depicted in the figure below and the Base
Station Group chart in the Multi-cell menu would appear as shown in the chart below.

E.2 Establishing a Multi-Cell Zone

Once the base stations have been properly located and installed (Chapter 3), it is

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 e-3

 recommended that the base station be reset to the default configuration. Press and hold the
hardware reset button on the side of the base station until the LED turns Red without flashing
for 5 seconds then release the button. The LED may flash orange during the reset process.
Once the base station completes the reset, the below high-level steps are required to establish
a multi-cell zone.
１. Access the web manager, section 4.1.
２. Configure the Time menu, an NTP server must be defined for a multi-cell configuration.
The base station reboots when the changes are saved.
３. Configure the iPECS call server information in the Servers menu, section 4.2.3.
４. Configure the Multi-cell menu parameters as discussed in section E.3 of this Appendix.
Assure the base station reboots when the changes are saved. After several moments, the
base station completes the reboot and synchronizes with other base stations in the chain.
５. Configure Extensions and register handsets as discussed in section 4.2.2.
６. Configure other desired base station parameters.
７. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for additional base stations in the zone.

E.3 Multi-cell Menu Setup

This section describes the steps to establish and add a cell to a zone. For details on the Multi-
cell menu and parameters, refer to section 4.2.11.

E.3.1 Settings for this unit

The “Settings for this unit” area of the Multi cell menu, see figure below, enables multi-cell
operation for the base station. A System chain ID is the id of the multi-cell zone. This can be up
to 8 digits and must not be in the range of the iPECS host station or extension numbering plan.
It is recommended that other parameters be maintained at default.

e-4 GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0

 E.3.2 DECT system settings
In the “DECT system settings” area, auto configuration parameters for the base station are
defined. The multi-primary feature should be used where one group of bases stations does not
have RF coverage to other base station groups.
In a multi-cell zone, base stations employ over the air synchronization. A base station is
configured as the primary DECT sync source for the zone. When a base station is not in the
coverage of the primary base station, it may use an intermediary base station or repeater to
gain sync. This structure forms a tree, which is also referred to as a chain, with the primary
base station at the trunk and other base stations and repeaters as the branches. A zone can
support up to 12 branches, which are also referred to as levels. When the “Auto configure
DECT sync…” parameter is enabled, the base station can “grow” the tree automatically at every
reboot. Note to enable the Auto configuration, the “Allow multi primary” parameter must be
enabled and “Auto create multi primary” should be enabled.

E.3.3 Base System Settings

Each base station supports a maximum of 30 Extensions (SIP accounts). The number of
accounts for each base station can be configured to spread and balance the load between base
stations. Note multiple registrations are not supported.

E.3.4 Save and Reboot

After modifying the Multi-cell parameters, the changes must be saved, and the base station
must reboot to establish connection to the zone, and synchronize with the source. The boot
confirmation pop-up must be accepted. This process may take 5 minutes to complete.

GDC-800Bi Install & Admin Guide - Issue 2.0 e-5

 Note
The base station must reboot after modifying any of the Multi-cell menu parameters. If the
reboot does not occur automatically, go the Home/Status page and force a reboot.
With Auto configuration, the first base station to complete the reboot is assigned as the primary
sync source.

E.3.5 Setting the Sync Source

Once the reboot cycle is complete, the DECT sync source can be configured manually. The
“Base Station Group “ area of the Multi-cell menu, as shown below, is a chart that describes
each base station in the zone including the MAC and IP address. Note that the base station
must be connected to the IP network for operation of the zone.
The chart includes the “DECT sync source” column. The drop down allows the manual selection
of the sync source based on the RPN. The DECT sync source for a secondary base station will
display the level or branch, the sync source RPN and strength of the DECT signal from the
source. The unit will again require a reboot if the sync source parameter or any of the
parameters in the menu are modified.
