Installing the Spectralink DECT Repeater
This section describes the Spectralink DECT Repeater and how to unpack and install it. Installing
repeaters requires a software installation as well as a hardware installation.
Note:
Before you install the equipment, ensure that a site planner defines the location of the
repeaters.
The coverage depends on the construction of the building and the choice of building
materials.
The repeater does not add channels. It only adds additional coverage area.
For installations, the following items should be present in every box containing a Spectralink DECT
Repeater:
lSpectralink DECT Repeater
lMounting template
lTwo mounting screws and anchors
Description of Repeater
The Spectralink DECT Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a wire-
less Spectralink DECT solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, how-
ever it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and thereby increases the
coverage area established with the Spectralink IP-DECTIP-DECT/DECT Base Stations.
The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The Spectralink DECT Repeater is avail-
able with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not need physical connection to the
Spectralink IP-DECTDECT Server, making it very easy to install. The repeaters can be supplied
with an external antenna making it possible to create radio coverage in a remote area without cabling
to the rest of the installation.
The base station can support up to 3 repeaters.

LED Indicator Meaning
Indicator Off The repeater is not powered.
Flashing Repeater has been powered, sync has still not been
established.
Steady green The repeater is powered and sync is established.
Short flash A handset connects or makes handover to the repeater.
Site Installation Considerations
Before you begin the installation, determine the position of the repeater for best coverage. The cov-
erage depends on the construction of the building and the choice of building materials.
The repeater can be registered on the system under the following circumstances.
lWhen placed within the coverage area of a base station
lWhen placed within the coverage area of an already-installed repeater
lWhen placed outside the coverage area of a base station or repeater using an external
antenna.
Note:
The repeater does not add channels. It only adds additional coverage area.
Environmental Considerations
lDo not install a device near metal objects and steel constructions.
lDo not position devices in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used to transport environmentalair
except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having lay-in
panels.
lDo not position devices behind furniture.
lThe installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.
lThe installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and
104°F.
lThe installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
lFor best RF coverage, the device must be mounted vertically on walls.

How to Wall Mount the Repeater
For best RF coverage, the device must be mounted vertically on walls.
Caution:
The repeater and external antenna is to be fixed-mounted on indoor permanent struc-
tures providing a separation distance of at least 20 cm/8 inches from all persons during
normal operation and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or repeater. The maximum radiated output power is 1W e.i.r.p.
1. Connect the power supply cable to the RJ9 port on the bottom of the repeater.
For repeaters with external antenna, connect the external antenna cable to the antenna con-
nector on the rear side of the repeater and in the same way on the external antenna.
2. Mount the repeater on the wall using the anchors and screws accompanying the product.
3. After installing the repeater you need to power it up. The power supply for the repeater is
9VDC, 300mA.

Programming a Spectralink DECT
Repeater with the Spectralink Pro-
gramming Kit
Content of the Spectralink Programming Kit Repeater
The Programming Kit Repeater (Part no. 02509210) consists of:
lSplitter
lProgramming tool with RJ-Connector
lUSB cable
Set up of the Hardware for Repeater Programming
It is recommended that you carry out the set up in the following order:
1. Unplug the repeater power supply adapter and insert the splitter.
2. Connect the repeater power supply adapter to the splitter and the mains. LED flashes.
3. Connect the USB cable to the programming tool.
4. Download the Service Tool from http://support.spectralink.com/ and install it on your com-
puter.
The repeater is now ready for programming via the Service Tool.

Programming the Spectralink DECT Repeater with the
Service Tool
The Service Tool is the tool you access from your desktop and use for repeater programming, hand-
set adjustment and software download to the handset and repeater. For more information about pro-
gramming the repeater with the Service Tool, refer to the Help File in the Service Tool.
The Service Tool identifies the type of repeater, and with this software it is possible to program the
Spectralink DECT Repeater to connect to the Spectralink DECT Radio Infrastructure solutions.
Note:
Before you start programming the repeater, ensure that the repeater is connected to the
computer and the mains.
Numbering of Base Stations and Repeaters in a
Normal Configuration
Note:
Repeater and base station RPNs must not be the same. Also, in a situation where com-
mon overlap is present between the actual units, a repeater cannot have an RPN that is
similar to that of a base station or another repeater. If this occurs, handover between the
different units is not possible.

Using the Spectralink DECT Repeater
With ExternalAntenna
If coverage is needed in a remote area, synchronization can be established between the main sys-
tem and a repeater by use of an external antenna. The External Antenna establishes a radio link
between the main system and a Spectralink DECT Repeater.
Note:
Only the Spectralink Spectralink External Antenna is approved along with the Spectralink
DECT Repeater.
The Spectralink DECT Repeater is automatically configured to the external antenna
when connected.
Below is an example of using a Spectralink DECT Repeater with External antenna.
The radio link way must be stable and free of moving objects. The RSSI level of the main system at
the Spectralink DECT Repeater placed remotely must not be lower than 75.
Note:
Inside the area named "radio link" there is no radio coverage for handsets.
If a situation occurs where the primary sync for some reason breaks down, the Spectralink DECT
Repeater will obtain sync on the alternative sync.

14
Alternative Synchronization Ways
The Spectralink DECT Repeater with or without external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed
to obtain synchronization on two radio units (base station, wireless server 400 or repeater).
Note:
The primary sync has priority; the alternative sync is only in use as long as the primary
sync is down.
