Registering a Repeater to a Base

Refer to the ShoreTel IP Phone 930D Planning and Installation Guide for additional information.
1. Configure the bases in your system to permit repeaters to register, and to assign synchronization
relationships for each repeater.
2. From the Base Security page in ShoreTel IP930D Manager, enable registration on the base with
which you would like to register. Enable registration on only one base at a time; otherwise, the
repeater may attempt to register with the wrong base and delay the registration process.
3. Provide power to the repeater by using AC power, or use a PoE wire adapter and splitter (see
Using a PoE Wire Adapter to Power the Repeater
that is near to the base to ensure a good signal.
4. Check that the LED indicator on the front of the repeater begins double-flashing green. If this is not
the case, press and hold the reset button on the back of the repeater until the LED indicator turns
red and then release the button. The LED indicator begins double-flashing green.
5. Within one minute, the LED indicator turns steady green, indicating that the repeater has
registered with the base.
Repeat the above process for all of the repeaters you wish to register with this base. Be sure to
disable registration from ShoreTel IP930D Manager before proceeding to the next base.

Installing the Repeater

Here are some guidelines for installing repeaters:
Repeaters should be mounted as high on a wall as possible and away from large metal objects or

building structures that can block their signal.
Repeaters must be located within six feet of an AC outlet; otherwise, use a PoE wire adapter and

splitter for power. See
Repeaters must be located close enough to the base or repeater to which they are synchronized

to provide a signal level between about -65 and -75 dBm. (A value of -70 dBm or better is
recommended).
Do not mount repeaters near electrical appliances or other radio frequency generating equipment,

such as microwaves or computers.
Repeaters must be mounted with at least one meter of separation between devices.

Do not use an AC outlet that can be switched off.
