1. DECT R4
Avaya DECT R4 is a DECT system where multiple base stations are connected using an IP LAN. For IP Office, DECT R4 is
supported with IP Office Release 5+. This installation manual covers the installation of DECT R4 systems using the
firmware supported by IP Office Release 7.0.
IP DECT Base Station (IPBS)
·
Up to 32 are supported. During installation one is configured as the master base station, to which the other base
stations synchronize as slave base stations. Each base station can host up to 8 simultaneous phone conversations
in its coverage area.
· For IP Office Release 6 and higher, the Compact Base Station is supported. This type of base station only
supports 4 simultaneous calls. Up to 5 Compact Base Station units can be included in a system. If used as the
master base station, the whole system is limited to 5 base stations.
Phones
· 12
Up to 120 DECT phones are supported. The Avaya 3700 Series phones supported are the 3720, 3725, 3740 and
3749. Other DECT phones, including the 3701 and 3711, are supported but only for basic telephony and only using
the DECT GAP and DECT CAP standards.
Chargers
· 16
A number of different types of charger exist for 3700 Series phones. Note that chargers for 3720/3725 phones are
not necessarily useable with 3740/3749 phones.
· Basic Charger
This is a simple single-phone charger for charging only.
· Advanced Charger
This single-phone charger has USB and LAN sockets. These allow the phone docked with the charger to be
accessed using the Device Manager application (browser access via the AIWS unit and charger LAN port or
WinPDM application via the USB port).
· Rack Charger
This is an 6 phone advanced charger.
· Battery Rack Charger
This charger can be used to charge up to 6 batteries separate from the handsets.
· IP Office
DECT R4 is supported on IP Office systems running IP Office 5.0+ software. This manual is for systems running IP
Office Release 7.0 or higher in IP Office standard mode.
· Licenses
Each phone subscribed via the DECT R4 systems requires an Avaya IP Endpoint license in the IP Office
configuration.
· Configuration Tools
The tools and applications for DECT R4 are included as part of the IP Office Manager application installation. This
includes the appropriate firmware for operation with the IP Office system.
Avaya In-Building Wireless Server (AIWS)
·
This unit allows SMS messaging between handsets. It also allows wireless software upgrades and configuration of
the handsets (without an AIWS, handsets can only be upgraded and configured when in an advanced charger). For
IP Office Release 5 this unit provides directory integration between the IP Office and the DECT R4 system. For IP
Office Release 6 directory integration can be done by the master base station but without SMS support. If both SMS
and directory integration are required then an AIWS unit must be used.
