
Navigate to "Multi cell" menu. By default a new base station has "Multi cell settings" feature
disabled.
Description of parameters
Multi cell system
System chain ID
Synchronization time (s)
Multi cell debug

Enable the Multi cell setting from the drop down menu.

Enter the relevant values for "System chain ID" and "Synchronization time (s)" respectively.
The "System chain ID" is a geographically unique DECT cell identity allocated to bridge several
base stations together in a chain. An example is 2275. In one multi cell installation all base
stations must have the same "System chain ID".
The Synchronization time (s) parameter is defined as window/period of time in seconds a
specific base station synchronises to the master base station unit (by default 60).

Click on "Save" button to keep modified changes of multi cell settings into the base station.

On each configuration interface for the base station(s) navigate to the "Home/Status" page
and Click the "Reboot" button.

Repeat all steps as explained above for all the intended base stations in multi cell operation.
It takes up to maximum 5 minutes (synchronization time) to add a new base station to a Multi Cell
System.

Navigate back to the Multi cell settings page by clicking "Multi‐cell". The revised Multi cell
settings page shows the relevant base stations synchronized together. By default, the system
uses the first registered base station as the master base unit.

On the Multi‐cell settings page, scroll to the DECT system settings and Enable or Disable the
"Auto configure DECT sync option source tree" (See description in the table below). Usually
the DECT system RFPI parameter is recorded by the system (It's often greyed in a multi‐cell
system configuration).
Note: Enable this to allow the network to automatically synchronise the multi‐cell chain/tree.
Version 1.0
Enable this option to allow the Base unit to be set in multi‐cell mode (can
be set as master or slave in the multi‐cell chain system). Valid Inputs:
Enable, Disable
This is an identifier (usually in string format for e.g. 2275) that is unique
for a specific multi‐cell system.
Note: There can be several multi‐cell systems in the network.
Valid Input: 8 bit String
This specifies the period or window in seconds elements/nodes (for e.g.
Base units) in a specific Multi‐cell should synchronise to each other.
Enable this feature, if you want the system to catalogue low level multi‐
cell debug information or traces.
