2.1 IP DECT Server 6000
Below is an overview of the system capacity of the IP DECT Server
6000.
Table 1 Overview of System Capacity
Description Capacity
Max. number of base stations
Note: A minimum of 1 base station is required as the Server 6000 does not have a built-in radio.
255
Max. number of simultaneous calls on each base station 11
Max. number of repeaters on each base station 6
Max. number of simultaneous calls on an IP DECT Server 6000 (G.711) 30
Max. number of registered handsets 500
The Server 6000 controls the wireless infrastructure of the IP DECT
system.Itmanagesbasestations,repeatersandtheIPinterfacetothe
AlphaCom/ACM exchange.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the protocol used for controlling
communication sessions between the Server 6000 and the AlphaCom/
ACM exchange.
A Server 6000 is installed directly on the Local Area Network (LAN) and
must be managed as part of the corporate network.
2.2 Wireless Bands
Thewirelesssolutionsupportstwowirelessbands,allowingoperationin
various countries and regions. Supported wireless bands are:
● ETSIDECT(1880-1900MHz),referredtoasDECT
● USADECT(1920-1930MHz),referredtoas1G9
The wireless band used by an IP DECT 6000 System is determined by
the base stations and handsets delivered with the solution.
)This document only describes equipment in the ETSI DECT band.
2.3 Base Station
The base stations are positioned in the area to send and receive
calls,i.e.betweenthewirelessserverandthehandset.Thebase
station contains internal antennas and handles 11 speech channels
simultaneously. A base station is able to synchronize with other base
stations.Whenthebasestationissynchronizedwithotherbasestations,
a person speaking on a handset can move between base stations (i.e.
handover) without any interference.
The transmission length is up to 100 meters/329 feet according to IEEE
802.3uonatwistedpaircable,e.g.cat.5e.Thebasestationisaclass
1 PoE device (802.3af) and must be powered accordingly (maximum
power supply consumption is 3.0W according to PoE 802.3af). The
radius coverage of the base station is up to 90 meters/295 feet indoors
and up to 300 meters/984 feet outdoors with a handset in line-of-sight
(coverage area onboard ship is 50 meters indoors and 150 meters
outdoors).
Coverage area decreases depending on the type of building materials
and obstructive elements. To ensure proper coverage in the areas

10
A100K10652
IP DECT 6000 System Installation & Conguration Guide
required,itisnecessarytoeitherconductasitesurveyorbasethe
deployment plan on the deployment guidelines.
2.4 Repeater
The repeater can be used to extend the coverage area in a wireless
radiosynchronizationsolution,whereitservesasareceiverand
transmitterinrelayingradiosignals.Dependingontherepeatertype,
it can be mounted either on the wall or on the ceiling. The wireless
repeaterisusedinareaswithlimitedvoicetrafc,wherecablingis
difcult.Therepeaterdoesnotincreasethenumberoftrafcchannels,
but increases the coverage area established with the base station. Up to
three repeaters can be placed in cascade formation directing coverage in
acertaindirection.Iftheradioenvironmentisdifcult,oneshouldavoid
installing repeaters.
Each base station can support up to 6 repeaters.
2.4.1 Programming Software
The application software for programming the repeater and software
downloads to the repeater is called ServiceTool.
)ServiceTool is not used for adjusting the Rough/Ofce Handset.
The ServiceTool software is available as a download from the
STENTOFON AlphaWiki website.
2.5 Handset
Thehandsetisalightweight,ergonomicallydesignedwirelessunitthat
includes an LCD display and keypad.
2.5.1 Handover
Handover refers to the ability to move between the coverage areas
ofdifferentradiounitsonthesamesystemwhiletalking,without
interruptions in the conversation.
2.6 Administrative Computer
Anadministrativecomputerisrequiredforcongurationand
maintenance of the Server 6000 and base station. This computer may
be temporarily connected directly to the device or to the network. A
dedicated computer is not required.

- TheACisacustomer-denedoptionalsubscriptionPINcodeof
a maximum of eight digits for the individual handset. The AC can
be used when connecting the handset to the Server 6000. The AC
doesnotneedtobeconguredforthehandsetstofunction.
●Repeaters:
- Mark each repeater with the number of the related base station.
Thiswayyoucaneasilycongurethesystemonsite.
●Handsets:
- Tousethehandsets,youmustrstinstalltheradioinfrastructure,
e.g. base stations and repeaters to transmit and receive radio
signals to and from the handsets. There are no direct connections
between the handset and the system. For more information about
basestationandrepeaterinstallation,referto“InstallingBase
Station” and “Installing the Repeater”.
●Charging battery
- Whenchargingthehandsetbatteryforthersttime,leavethe
handset in the charger for 14 - 16 hours to ensure that the battery
is fully charged and the handset ready for use. Refer to “Charging
Handsets”.

3 Deploying the IP DECT Server 6000
BeforeyouinstalltheIPDECTServer6000solution,itisnecessary
to carry out a complete site design – at the minimum on the basis of
environmentaldrawings(likeGAforships,oroorplansforbuildings)
-todeterminetheexactlocationoftheServer6000,basestations,
repeaters and the number of handsets required.
)For deployment on ships, see Zenitel’s IP DECT Deployment on Ships.
)Due to the unexpected nature of RF propagation in an indoor environment, an
actual on-site test may need to be carried out before the installation is complete.
While an extensive guide to effective RF coverage planning is beyond
thescopeofthismanual,thefollowingpointsshouldbetakeninto
considerationwhenplanningthesite,priortobasestationandrepeater
installation:
●The base station/repeater provides typical RF coverage of up to
50meters/164feetinatypicalindoorofceenvironmentandupto
300meters/984feetinanopenarea(line-of-sight),extendinginall
directions from the base station/repeater. The exact coverage range
dependsonthebuildingarchitecture,wallmaterialandsurroundings.
●The wireless solution can support a maximum of 500 handsets and
255 base stations. (See Table 1 in section 2.1).
●Handset handover: handsets can move between coverage areas of
base stations and repeaters while receiving continuous service and
maintainingconversationsinprogress.However,forsteelcontainer-
like rooms (such as ship cargo rooms) it is not to be expected that
the standard radio antenna base stations will be able to support
handover.
- Fordeploymentonships,theradiatingcablesolutionmaybeused.
● Forefcienthandoverofconversationsbetweenbasestations,
deploy base stations with wide overlap between them (i.e. plan for
some areas to be covered by more than one base station). Overlaps
are necessary to maintain seamless handover and to establish
synchronization chains. A good example may be a cafeteria during
lunch hour where temporary concentrations of handsets may occur.
The overlap carries the excess call load to adjacent base stations to
provide uninterrupted services to subscribers.
● Typically,installationssuchasofcebuildings,hotelsandhospitals
shouldbeequippedwithbasestations/repeatersonseveraloorsto
create uniform and complete RF coverage.
●Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of base stations.
Insuchapplications,thebasestations/repeaterscoveranextended
range due to the extended line-of-sight RF propagation capability.
●Ensure that there is no residential DECT system (home DECT) on
the site.
3.1 RecommendationsforBaseStation/Repeater
Placement
● Inlargehalls,thebasestation/repeater(wall)shouldbeinstalled
vertically in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling.
● Incorridors,thebasestation/repeater(wall)shouldbeinstalled
vertically,preferablyatcorridorintersectionswherepropagation
patterns follow the corridor patterns. The base station/repeater
should point towards the corridor and preferably at mid-height
betweentheoorandtheactualceiling.Incaseswherethereare
tallobjectsinthearea,thebasestation/repeatershouldbeinstalled

15
IP DECT 6000 System Installation & Conguration Guide
A100K10652
above those objects but still kept distant from the ceiling.
● Inmulti-storybuildings,basestations/repeatersmaybeinstalledon
oppositesidesoftheoorstotakeadvantageoftheoor-to-oor
coverage.Thecoveragedesigncannotrelyentirelyonoor-to-oor
propagation;duetovariationsinlocalattenuationpatterns,each
casemustbeveried.
●If the building contains a central open space with windows to the
otherareas,basestations/repeatersmaybeinstalledinthisopen
space to provide a good coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on
alloors(e.g.hotels).
● Ifabasestation/repeater(wall)hangsverticallyonawall,theRF
coverage in front of it is twice as large as the coverage at the rear.
When a base station/repeater is installed on the outside of an outer
wall,theRFcoveragebehinditisstronglyattenuatedbythewall.
●Base stations/repeaters should preferably not be installed near large
metallic objects.
●Reinforced concrete structures have a high attenuation factor inside
abuilding.Consequently,ahighernumberofbasestations/repeaters
have to be installed in the building as these structures decrease their
coverage range. Lighter types of construction require fewer base
stationssinceattenuationguresareconsiderablylower.
3.2 Deployment of a Server 6000 Multi-Cell System
3.2.1 Sync over Air
Asausermovesfromonebasestationradiocoverageareatoanother,
the call must be handed over to the next radio unit. To create handover
betweenradiounits,itisnecessarytoestablishsynchronizationchains.
Ifthesynchronizationbetweenradiounitsislost,thenhandoverisnot
possible and ongoing calls will be terminated.
)Each base station must be placed within the radio coverage area of at least one
other base station or repeater (radio units).
3.2.2 ExamplesofSynchronizationChains
Certain rules must be taken into consideration when establishing
synchronization chains:
●The distance over which synchronization can take place is limited
to a distance similar to a loss not exceeding 25 dB. If signal loss
exceeds25dB,itisnotcertainthatsynchronizationwillbestable.
- Forexample,thesignalmeasurednexttothebasestationis100
dB. The handset with test display active is moved away from the
base station until the reading in the display shows 75 dB. This is
the spot where the next base station should be installed.
●It is recommended that a base station synchronizes with at least two
otherradiounits,andthatasecondarysyncwayisdenedtoensure
systemredundancy.Iftheprimarysyncwayisnotworking,thenthe
secondary sync way takes over and the synchronization chain is not
broken.
●Synchronization chains for the Server 6000 Solution can be made
with base stations and repeaters.
● AsyoucanonlycongurearepeatertosynchronizeononeradioID,
itisnotpossibletodenesecondarysyncwaysforrepeaters.

A100K10652
IP DECT 6000 System Installation & Conguration Guide
AstheServer6000usestheDECTinterfacetosynchronizeon,one
basestationisconguredastheSyncMaster.Itisrecommendedto
place the Sync Master in the middle of the building or on the deck that is
mid-way between the decks of a ship.
)It is recommended to make a site plan. Every base station must be numbered with
Radio ID, Primary sync Radio ID, and Secondary sync Radio ID.
3.2.2.1 Sync Chain With One Sync Master (Primary Sync
Ways)
Figure 2 Synchronization Chain
- The synchronization chain must always overlap with the base
station to sync on.
- No. 0 is the Sync Master (can be numbered 0 to 255).
- Other radio units are connected to the Sync Master through the
synchronization chain.
- Ifoneoftheradiounitsinthesynchronizationchainisnotworking,
then all radio units behind are also not working.
