Repeater Basics

Repeaters are used to extend the operating range of IP930D handsets beyond the coverage area of
the base station. To deliver optimal service, IP930D handsets will automatically connect to the base or
repeater with the strongest signal.
Before the repeater is installed, it must be registered to a base station.

Up to four repeaters can be registered to a base station.

Up to three repeaters can be daisy chained to provide coverage (but doing so may introduce

delays and Y-branches are not supported).
Repeaters can be used to extend coverage in all directions, including vertically (to cover several

floors in a building).
If repeaters are positioned correctly, the mobile handset will automatically switch from cell to cell

with no noticeable interruption. Correct positioning means overlapping the coverage area of the
base station or other repeaters.
