2. Introduction –System overview
In a typical DECT telephony system, you have base station, repeaters and handsets, allowing the users to
make/receive calls and messages.
A typical setup could look like this:
Increasing demand for locating equipment, personal or pushing information to specific handset on a specific location,
demands the system to know exactly where the device is located.
This can be done be adding RTX8200 Location gateway devices to the DECT system.

Installation of Location Gateways
After planning the network, installing the base stations, the Locations gateways must be added, therefore, we briefly
describe how to install the location gateways. One important thing that must be decided before installing the location
gateways is how to power them.
Package –Contents/Damage Inspection
Before Package Is Opened:
Examine the shipping package for evidence of physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of
mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support center of the regional representative or
operator.
Contents of Package:
Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step.
Every shipped base unit package/box contains the following items:
•Location Gateway
Please only use screws and actors with the following dimensions.
Screws: 30,7 mm (L), 2,6 mm (W)
Actors: 24,8 mm (L), 5,8 mm (W)
Damage Inspection:
The following are the recommended procedure for you to use for inspection:
1. Examine all relevant components for damage.
2. Make a “defective on arrival –DOA” report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton until
the operator has examined it. If possible, send pictures of the damage. The operator/regional representative
will initiate the necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how
to return the damaged package if necessary.
3. If no damage is found, then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in
accordance with country specific environmental regulations.

RTX8200 Location Gateway Mechanics
The Location Gateway front
How to insert batteries or PoE module
To open the Location gateway, you need to use a screwdriver or other flat tool.
Insert the screwdriver on the left side and press the small metal lock to open the Location gateway.
Now insert the batteries (2xAA) or the PoE module.
If using PoE module remember to remove the small piece of plastic covering the Ethernet plug.
RTX8200 Location Gateway –Tamper Alarm
The RTX8200 Location Gateway is equipped with a tamper alarm, in case someone tries to tamper with the device.
The tamper alarm allows the system admin to receive a warning if tampering is detected. Tampering alarm is activated
if the front is removed.

RTX Location Gateway –Reset feature
It is possible to restart or reset the location gateway unit by pressing a knob under the front cover. Alternatively, it can
be reset from the SME Configuration Interface. We do not recommend this; but unplugging and plugging the Ethernet
cable back to the PoE port of the base station also resets the base unit.
Installing the Location Gateway
First determine the best location that will provide an optimal coverage taking account the construction of the building,
architecture, and choice of building materials.
Next, mount the Location Gateway on a wall or where ever you want it placed to provide the best coverage.
RANGE TBD
Mounting the Location Gateway.
The RTX8200 Location gateway, can be mounted both horizontal in the ceiling and vertical on a wall.
Before mounting the Location gateway, you need to determine if it is going to run in RX or TX mode, as you need to
select the right radiation pattern.
RX mode = Receiving Mode
TX Mote = Transmit Mode
RX Mode –Receiver mode
In receiver mode, the RTX8200 Location Gateway will react to external BTLE beacons and automatically send the
location data using DECT to a centralized point. In short this allows to you to use small external BT Tags such as the
RTX8210 for item tracking and DECT phones such as the RTX863x for personnel tracking. Like the case for transmitter
mode, the external antennas can be deployed in high security areas. The downside for receiver mode is the added
current consumption, which makes it necessary to use the RTX8200 Location Gateway with a power supply.
Use case: Door installation:
For the door installation use case, RTX recommends two positions. Next to the door and just above the door, as shown
on the illustration below. It should be noted that position 1 will be more reliable, since the tracked object will need to
be further in the room for position 2 to detect the presence. The door opening in this case is 90 cm wide and 210 cm
tall.

RTX8200 LOCATION GATEWAY GUIDE 4.6 12 |P a g e

Position 1 - Gateway Settings
In this example, the beamforming will be configured to steer left into the door opening and the attenuation is set to -
30 dB for detection only in the door.
Position 2 - Gateway Settings
In this example, the beamforming will be configured the center setting and the attenuation is set to -16 dB for reliable
detection after tracked object has walked through the door. In this case the object needs to travel a meter inside the
room.

Use case: Room installation:
If the user wants to detect presence in a small room or office RTX
recommends installing this in the top corner of a room. The power
level should be adjusted according to the size of the room. We have
provided a table with different room sizes and power settings. The
Antenna direction should be set to “center” in all the cases. This is
with the beacon in TX mode. The values given is measured inside a
fully equipped office space, it is very likely that the user will have to
tweak the values to fit their exact needs.

Use case: Hallway installation:
In a hallway installation, it will be possible to track if equipment
or personnel has moved past certain point in the hallway.
Hallway installations can be challenging, since there often will a
lot of reflections in the RF propagation. This can be omitted by
adjusting the power accordingly. However, this will also change
the effective range of the beacon. The following values have
been tested in a concrete hallway with a width of 3 meters. The
beam steering has been set to center for optimal performance

External antenna
In high security areas it might be a requirement, that the active device is hidden above the ceiling or behind a wall,
such that it cannot be tampered with. In this scenario the external antenna version of RTX8200 can be used. The
external antenna version needs professional installation. Obviously, the setup will be a bit more cumbersome, since RF
cables are needed. The installation will also be highly dependent on what kind of antenna is used, however this also
adds some flexibility to control the radiation pattern. The following use case will be based on a standard 2.4 GHz
Dipole antenna. This creates an omnidirectional antenna if installed vertically, or a weakly directional antenna if
placed horizontally.
Generally, the sensitivity on the antennas will be higher than the internal antennas, since the RF path is shorter. So
generally, the attenuation will have to be higher for the same range limitation.

Use case: Hallway installation (Above ceiling):
Again, the location gateway can be hidden, as the
previous use case. But here the antennas are also
hidden above the ceiling. The antennas are places
horizontally, to make it a bit more directional. The
settings used in this example will be very dependent
on what kind of ceiling, but It will work as a starting
point for the initial installation.

In RX mode the Location gateway is not sending any beacons but detecting devices the transmit beacons e.g RTX
Handsets.

Proprietary and Confidential
In TX mode the Location gateway is transmitting beacons in the direction that is setup. When using the Location
gateway in TX mode it is very important to select the right radiation pattern.
The beam steering allows to control from which direction the gateway will receive/transmit beacons. A typical
example could be enter/leaving detection in a doorway, such items or people can be tracked.
The attenuation can be controlled in the following steps:
TX Attenuation
RX Attenuation
0 dB
0 dB

The attenuation will affect the detection range in both TX and RX mode. This setting is very important and very
variable depending on the type of building. We recommend that the user will start out with one of our pre-defined
use cases and customize it to the specific building type. This setting can then be deployed across all units in the
building.

RTX8200 LOCATION GATEWAY GUIDE 4.6 16 |P a g e

TX Mode - Transmitter mode:
In transmitter mode, it is the RTX8200 Location Gateway that is the active beacon transmitter, and the receiver will be
responsible for conveying the location data to a central point. This can be useful when you know all employees are
carrying a phone that supports BTLE beacons. It also allows for a more stringent power setting and thus more precise
tracking. However, the receiver sensitivity and antenna on the phones will play a large part in the measurement
uncertainty. Another benefit of the TX mode is the long battery lifetime.
Use case: Door installation:
For the door installation use case, RTX recommends two positions. Next to the door and just above the door, as shown
on the illustration below. It should be noted that position 1 will be more reliable, since the tracked object will need to
be further in the room for position 2 to detect the presence. The door opening in this case is 90 cm wide and 210 cm
tall.
Position 1 - Gateway Settings
In this example, the beamforming will be configured to steer left into the door
opening and the attenuation is set to -30 dB for detection only in the door.
Position 2 - Gateway Settings
In this example, the beamforming will be configured the center setting and the
attenuation is set to -16 dB for reliable detection after tracked object has walked
through the door. In this case the object needs to travel a meter inside the room.
