2. Installation of Repeater
After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location the repeater. The repeater should be
mounted as high as possible (2 meters or higher).
2.1. 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 repeater package/box contains the following items:
1 x Power supply
1 x Repeater
1 x Table stand
1 x Safetysheet
2.2. 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.

2.3. RTX Base Station Mechanics
The repeaters front end shows an LED indicator that signals different functional states of the repeater.
The indicator is off when the repeater is not powered on.

2.4. Mounting the repeater
There are 2 way to mount the repeater.
1: Use the table stand that is in the box
2: Wall mount the repeater using the screws and anchors
Screws and Anchors needed (Not supplied by RTX)
2x Screws = Screw wall mount M3.5x31
2x Anchors: Length 29,6mm, OD 6,0mm, ID 4,8mm
NOTE: The repeater should be mounted on a wall not higher than 2 meters

4. Repeater registration
There are 2 different ways to register RTX repeater’s “Local Automatic” and “Manually”
Local Automatic:
In this mode the repeater registers to the base station with best signal strength, this option is only recommended for
single cell systems and Multi cell systems where the repeater is only able to sync with one specific base station.
Manually:
Manual registration is used in most cases when adding repeaters to a multi cell system. Manual registration allows to
determine what base stations the repeater must connect to.
4.1. Register repeater(s) “Local Automatic”
NOTE: Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station
NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the
same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption.
Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page.
Screen shot
Step 2: Click” Add Repeater” and select “Local Automatic” from the dropdown
Screen shot
Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press “save”

Step 4: Power on the repeater(s) and registration will start.
When the LED is steady green the repeater is successfully registered.

DESCRIPTION
IDX
System counter
RPN
SINGLE CELL SYSTEM:
The base has always RPN00, first repeater will then be RPN01, second repeater RPN02
and third RPN03 (3 repeaters maximum per base)
MULTI CELL SYSTEM:
Bases are increment by 2^2 in hex, means first base RPN00 second base RPN04 etc., in
between RPN01, 02, 03 addressed for repeaters at Primary base and 05, 06, 07 addressed
for Secondary base (3 repeaters maximum per base)
NAME/IPIE
Name and IPIE number of the repeater
DECT SYNC MODE
DECT Sync mode –Manually or Automatic
STATE
State of the repeater Enabled/Disabled
FW INFO
Firmware version
FWU PROGRESS
How many percentages of the firmware is loaded / Off if no firmware is being loaded
4.2. Register repeater(s) “Manually”
NOTE: Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station
NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the
same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption.

Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page.

Step 2: Click” Add Repeater” and select “Manually” from the dropdown
Screen shot
Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press “save”

Step 4: select what base station the repeater needs to register to “DECT sync source” drop down
In this case there are three base stations in the multicell (RPN00, RPN04 and RPN08) and three repeaters can be
connected to each base station.
Select the base station the repeater needs to register to.
E.g. RPN04
Screen shot
Step 5: Select the RPN for the repeater.
ERROR: The repeater will choose the first available slot on the selected base station.
RPN x: The repeater connects to RPN x of the chosen base station.
E.g. Base station RPN04 + RPN1 repeater, then the repeater connects to “RPN5”

5. Firmware update:
The repeaters are updated over air.
Step 1: Navigate to Firmware Update page
Step 2: Enter “Firmware Update server address”, “Firmware path” and DECT402x firmware version
