The Base Station is a combination DECT Base Station and WLAN Access Point with an up to 11-channel radio
transmitter/receiver. It is designed for use with the wireless IP telephony broadband data access services.
To cover large areas with low populations concentrated in clusters such as in villages, a setup with one Ethernet
Sync/Switch Unit and as many as 6 Base Stations mounted in clusters on towers or pylons is recommended.
The cluster will be synchronised to a GPS via the Ethernet Sync/Switch Unit. The connection to the IP network will
be via Ethernet and the connection to the Sync /Switch Unit will also be via Ethernet.
For distribution in areas with high-density populations, as many as 24 Base Stations can be used with a Sync
Unit via a VDSL/SYNC connection, mounted, for example on street lampposts.
The Base Station can be used with a choice of antennas, depending on the required gain and directivity:
• dipole (omnidirectional, 2-4 dBi)
• patch (10.5 dBi)
• external antennas for improved gain
If the external antenna option is chosen an External antenna kit is required, RTX item no. 95101873
Using DECT repeaters extends the range of each Base Station and enables access to areas shielded from the Base
Station.

WLAN CARD (OPTIONAL)
For wireless LAN functionality from the Base Station, an RTX-specified WLAN card is an option.
To use a WLAN card:

and then press the WLAN card down until it locks into place (step 2 in Fig. 18).
2) Unless an external antenna is used, the internal antenna should
be connected to the WLAN card (as shown in Fig. 19).

LED AND DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONALITY
When the Base Station is powered on for the first time or if it has been reset to all default parameters, the LEDs
display in the following sequence:
VDSL Connection
For a VDSL connection, when there is power to the Base Station, the green LED 1 [ON] will be lit immediately
and continuously. If the light is not on, please check your connections.
When the Base Station is connected to the system, LEDs 11 [LNK], and 13 [LNK] should be lit continuously, indi-
cating good VDSL and SYNC link. Your installation is OK. (This may take up to five minute.) If the light is not on,
please check your connections.
When the system starts to initialise the LED 2 [ON-AIR] will start to flash. When the whole system is operating
and the Base Station starts to transmit, LED 2 [ON-AIR] will be lit continuously.
Ethernet Connection
For an Ethernet connection, when there is power to the Base Station, the green LED 1 [ON] will be lit continu-
ously.
If the light is not on, please check your connections.
When the Base Station is connected to the system, LEDs 9 [L/A], and 13 [LNK] should be lit continuously, indi-
cating good Ethernet and SYNC link. LED 9 [L/A] has double function, when packages are sent/received the LED
is flashing. Your installation is OK. (This may take up to five minute.) If the light is not on, please check your
connections.
When the system starts to initialise LED 2 [ON-AIR] will start to flash. When the whole system is operating and
the Base Station starts to transmit, LED 2 [ON-AIR] will be lit continuously.

The Base Station housing should be mounted on to 35mm x 35mm metal base plates using 10 –13 mm (+ the
depth of the plate) M6 screws. (See Fig. 31). The cable holes should face down.
FIG. 31:
The Base Station must be sited at least 300mm from any concrete wall or similar construction.
The Base Station is equipped with a label with a serial
number and a MAC address (Fig. 32). It is important to
log the position (GPS position) and the MAC address of
the Base Station. This information will be very useful for
later optimization and scaling of the network.
The Base Station should be mounted so that the patch antenna projects in the required direction as shown in
Fig. 33.

SYSTEM BASE STATION ANTENNA
PATCH DIPOLE EXTERNAL
When the Base Station is used outdoors in conjunction with a Sync Unit,
primary lightning protection is required. This should be placed at the point in
the junction box where the multi-pair cable is divided for each individual Base
Station.
The Base Station should be at least 2 metres below the top of the elevated
object to which it is attached.
To ensure full receiver performance the Base Station should not be mounted too close to strong emitting devices
such as the GSM/DCS1800 Base Station.
As the frequencies used by the DCS 1800 and the DECT are very close to each other, the worst interference is
caused by the DCS 1800 system.
The Base Station should be sited a minimum distance from interfering systems as shown in Table 2, below.
These requirements are based on the following assumptions:
The Base Station is mounted below/above the GSM panel antenna.
The feeding power from the Base Station power amplifier: Max +43 dBm (20 watts)
GSM panel antenna gain in vertical direction: Max -10 dBi
GSM omnidirectional gain in vertical direction: Max 0 dBi
If the Base Station is located directly in the main beam of the DCS 1800 antenna (horizontally) the distance should
be at least 100 metres from the antenna to have the same interference from the DCS antenna.
If the Base Station is located directly in the main beam of the GSM antenna (horizontally) the Base Station
should be at least 50 metres from the antenna.
