Connecting the Base Station
If your network connection does not provide Power Over Ethernet, you will
need to order a standard Ethernet-to-PoE adapter. Contact customer
service.

1) Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Cat 5 or higher) to the Ethernet/PoE jack on the
rear of the base station Route the cable through the channel as shown below
Figure 3 Connecting the base station
2) Connect the other end of the cable to your TCP/IP network
When the base station powers on, the STATUS LED on the front briefly lights orange and
then turns off while it initializes and connects to the network After the base station
successfully initializes and connects to the network, the LED lights green and remains
steady on

screw location based on
the measurements shown
2)
Insert the appropriate
anchors for the wall
material
3)
Insert the mounting
screws into the anchors,
leaving about ¼ inch of
space between the screw
head and the wall
4)
Connect the Ethernet
cable and route the cord
as shown

Charging the battery
1) Install the handset battery as shown below (For more detailed instructions, see the End
User’s Guide )
Figure 7: Installing the handset battery
Remove the battery
over from the ba k
of the handset.
Insert the bottom of the battery into the
ompartment. Lay the battery down and
push it gently until it snaps into pla e.
Repla e the battery
over and slide it up
into pla e.
2) Use the charger AC adapter to connect the
charger's AC jack to a standard 120V AC power
outlet
3) Place the handset in the charger with the display
facing forward The HANDSET STATUS LED should
turn on; if it doesn’t, reseat the handset or try
plugging the AC adapter into a different outlet
4) Place the spare battery (if available) in the back
section of the charger; the BATTERY STATUS LED
should turn on (Pull the battery latch back
slightly to fit the battery in the slot )
Charge each battery completely (about 10
hours) before using it.
Figure 8: Inserting the handset
into the charger
Powering on the andset
To power up the handset, press End The handset searches for the base station or multi-
cell chain it is registered to and connects to the unit with the strongest signal
To power down the handset, press and hold End until the display turns off (about 4
seconds)

Initial System Configuration
This guide assumes that the EXP1240 system will be installed in a network environment
where the following servers are already installed and functioning:
•SIP server/VoIP PBX
•DHCP server
•NTP server
•TFTP server This server must contain the following folders:
∘LOG: for SIP log files. Base stations must be able to write to this folder whi h
should be reated in the TFTP server’s working dire tory.
∘{firmware path}: for firmware update files (see Setting Up Firmware Folders,
page 41)
•Syslog server Base stations must be able to write to this server
•DNS server Only required if you are using host names to access network nodes
There are some general server and base station requirements:
•The SIP server/VoIP PBX, NTP, and Syslog servers must be available at all times
•If the base stations acquire their IP addresses dynamically (rather than being
statically assigned), then the DHCP server must be available at all times
•The TFTP server must be available for firmware updates and SIP log uploads
•All base stations must be on the same subnet
•Servers can reside on the same machine
Table 4 shows a top-level summary of the steps needed to configure the base station to
operate in a single-cell system You will use these same steps to configure the first base
station in a multi-cell system

Using the Base Station Interfa e
Each base station has a built-in HTTP server that controls the configuration interface To
open the web page:
1) Open a web browser window and type the IP address of the base station in the address
bar If you don't know the base station's IP address, try one of the following:
∘Use the IP Sear h fun tion on the handsets. On any handset, press Menu (
), then enter *47* (*IP*). After several se onds, the handset displays the
MAC and IP addresses of all base stations within range. Find the MAC
address of the base station in the list to determine its IP address. To exit IP
Sear h, press End ( ) twi e.

EXP1240 System Installation Guide Revision 06
© 2013 Uniden Ameri a Corp. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Page 17 of 71
∘If your network supports Dynami DNS, then type ipdect<{MAC}> in the
address bar of your browser (just insert the MAC address of the base station
in pla e of {MAC} ).
2) Enter the user ID and password The default user ID and password are both admin (all
lower case) The base station opens the Home/Status screen
Figure 9: Home/Status screen
•You can open any configuration screen by clicking its name on the left side of the
screen; the screen name links appear on every screen
Configuring General System Settings
This document does not cover general IP and SIP network setup. If you need
more information on the necessary settings for your servers, contact your
network administrator.

EXP1240 System Installation Guide Revision 06

Change Configuration and Management Settings
1) In the left panel of the screen, select Management This opens the Management screen
Figure 10: Management screen
2) In the Base Station Name field, enter the title you want to appear in the configuration
screens for this base station (This will help you verify that you have logged into the
correct base station in the future ) The title can be any HTML-readable text string
3) In the Configuration server address field, enter the IP address or URL of the server that
hosts SIP log files (this is usually your TFTP server) The base station will also copy its
debug files to this sever The TFTP Server must be running for SIP log file uploads.
4) Under Management Transfer Protocol, select TFTP.
5) HTTP management is reserved for system development; just ignore these fields
6) If you want to have this base station copy SIP messages onto the configuration server,
select Enabled in the Upload of SIP Log field SIP logs are named in the format of
{MAC_address}_SIP_{timestamp}.log (Unless you’re troubleshooting a specific problem,
you should leave this disabled )
7) Trace server information is reserved for system development; just ignore these fields
8) To have this base station copy system log messages onto a system log server, enter the
IP address of the server in the Syslog Server IP Address field (If your syslog server is
listening to a port other than the default, enter that port number in System Syslog Port )
Then, in the Syslog Level field, select one of the following:
∘Off: no system events are logged.

EXP1240 System Installation Guide Revision 06
© 2013 Uniden Ameri a Corp. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Page 19 of 71
∘Normal Operation: This will output normal operation event logs targeted for
an administrative audien e. Event logs in luded are in oming all, outgoing
all, handset registration, DECT lo ation, firmware updates, all lost due to
busy, riti al system errors, and general system information. Sele t this level
during system onfiguration unless requested by a te hni ian to sele t one
of the other levels.
∘System Analyze: This will output normal operation event logs plus more
te hni al logs. This level of logging is targeted for a level 1 or 2 te h support.
∘Debug: This will output the previous two types of logs plus lower level logs
whose audien e are system developers. Please be aware that enabling this
level of logging will degrade system performan e.
