AP400E for external,

An AP400 based IP DECT conguration can consist of AP400 series
Access Points (the system may also include AP200/300 series
APs), IP DECT system software (release 6), DAP manager software,
a DMLS open interface for messaging and DECT handsets. The
AP400 APs connect to the IP network and form a DECT system that
provides peer to peer IP communication between DECT handsets
and other VoIP users. The connection between AP400s and the
host PBX is using either a dedicated IP protocol or a SIP interface.
As such, it truly integrates with the host PBX system. With the SIP
support (SIP DECT) of AP400, the IP DECT system can be linked
to any certied SIP based host PBX system. The features provided
will depend on the level of SIP interworking. The IP network can be
one single converged voice/data network or a dedicated network.
An Access Point provides 12 DECT channels and supports
up to 11 simultaneous calls or 5 HD-Voice calls. One channel
is used for signalling between the Access Points. An IP DECT
conguration can also support other applications such as voice
mail, web-based telephony, central directory, and messaging. A
DAP Manager is required for installation, maintenance, subscription,
wide area roaming, and messaging. In most congurations the DAP
Manager is not required for operational use. AP400 series consists
of the following models: AP400 for all IP DECT and SIP DECT
applications, AP400E to connect external directional antennas. An
external housing comes with the AP400E for outdoor use, as well as
to protect the external antenna.
