Base Station. The DCT1900 system can be configured to meet user requirements with respect to the area to be covered and the number of Portable Telephones to be used. This system has been designed to operate in indoor/ outdoor environments and can support both low as well as high traffic density situations.
Portable Telephone user can be on a call while moving from the radio coverage area of one RE to the radio coverage area of another RE without any disruption to the call. In the case of roaming in a DCT1900 Mobility configuration, a Portable Telephone can originate or accept a call in the radio coverage area of any RE.

Operational Concepts Operational Environment The DCT1900 is designed for mobility within the defined coverage area of the system. If the defined coverage area of one system is too small, then in conjunction with the MS, several DCT1900 systems can be connected together to act as if they were one large system.
Page 28
System Description, System Overview System Architecture The DCT1900 system provides a wireless infrastructure between the user and the MS/PBX. The system can serve multiple users at the same time. The system can be split up in a fixed part (made up of one RE and multiple Base Stations) and many Portable Telephones.
Page 29
If all requirements are met, the registration will succeed. Note that this dynamic behavior means that only at this point will a Portable Telephone be registered in a system. There will never be a fixed relation between a system and a PUN! Registration Failures The registration process may result in a rejection from the RE/MS.

(PSAA). The algorithm uses the authentication key that is downloaded over the programming cable into the Portable Telephone during initialization. In a DCT1900 Mobility Server configuration for performance reasons, a session key (temporary key, reissued at registration time) will be stored locally in the RE as the result of a registration, to allow authentication without consulting the MS during call establishment.
(another Base Station of another RE) and location updates (roaming). 2.2.1 Unlocked Situation When the Portable Telephone is first turned on, it will regularly scan the air interface. As soon as the Portable Telephone detects a bearer signal from a Base Station, it will lock to this bearer. A bearer is an active PWT air interface channel in which transmissions take place.
Page 32
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 System Description, System Overview System Status A Portable Telephone contains a list of the current RE status. For each system, the status may be: NOT_ALLOWED: TEMP_NOT_ALLOWED: ALLOWED: Roaming If the Portable Telephone is locked to a certain Base Station, two types of roaming are supported: voluntary roaming, when a better bearer is available, or forced roaming, when the current bearer is no longer valid.
If a good bearer cannot be found within the current RE, alternative systems will be investigated in the history list. If no RE is found, the Portable Telephone quickly scans its environment to find a valid bearer. If a bearer is found and the network has not yet cleared the call, the Portable Telephone continues to scan its environment.
System Description, System Overview Message Waiting Indication With this feature the PBX will be able to inform the user (on his Portable Telephone display) that there is a pending message in his/her voicemail box and/or short message list. Message Waiting Clear The opposite of message waiting indication.
Allows the user of the Portable Telephone to cut voice communication with an ongoing call without actually disconnecting it. Reconnect Call A call that is put on hold by the user of the Portable Telephone can also be resumed from the same Portable Telephone. Callback If the called number is occupied and hard to reach due to busy line, this feature registers the target extension to automatically call back when it is free.
HAPTER Hardware Building Blocks The hardware building blocks of the DCT1900 system are (see Figure 3-1) Base Stations Portable Telephones Covered Area (Cell) Radio Exchange The RE interfaces between the PBX/MS and the Base Stations. Incoming and outgoing calls are routed via the RE.
The Portable Telephone (PT) supports the basic functions of a normal wired DTMF–type telephone. The PT is available in three models: the 9p23, the DT600 and the DT620. Each is equipped with a 3-line 12 character dot matrix LCD display, backlit illumination keypad and display, and plastic keypad.
Central Processing Unit - CPU1 (REX-BRD0004 or 2/ROFNB 157 19/2), CPU2 (REX-BRD9033 or REX-BRD9034) The Central Processing Unit is responsible for overall control of a DCT1900 system. It contains two standard I/O ports (RS232) and synchronization ports. One CPU board is required per RE.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 System Description, Radio Exchange Boards Speech Link Unit – SLU (REX-BRD0015 or ROFNB 157 16/1) The SLU is a combination of an SPU and a CLU on one board. It contains eight SPC (see Figure 4-1) and eight CLC (see Figure 4-1).
The SPU interfaces between a LTU/DTU and a CLU/SLU. Every SPU board contains eight Speech Processing Channels (SPC, see Figure 4-2). Every SPC handles the speech processing for one call. When a call is initiated, either by a Portable Telephone or by an incoming call, an SPC is assigned to the call.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 System Description, Radio Exchange Boards Cell Link Unit - CLU (REX-BRD0014 or ROFNB 157 11/2) or CLU-S (REX-BRD0016 or ROFNB 157 16/2) The CLU interfaces between a SPU and a Base Station. Every CLU board contains eight CLC (see Figure 4-3).
Each CAS interface provides 30 (total 60 per board), communication channels to which Portable Telephones are assigned statically. Each channel is dedicated to a specific Portable Telephone number. The maximum number of Portable Telephones a RE can handle is 600. This is supported on 10 DTU E1 CAS cards.
Each CAS interface provides 24 (total 48 per board), communication channels to which Portable Telephones are assigned individually. Each channel is dedicated to a specific Portable Telephone number. The maximum number of Portable Telephones a RE can handle is 600. This is supported on 13 DTU T1 CAS cards.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 System Description, Radio Exchange Boards Digital Trunk Unit-DTU-T1 CCS ( REX-BRD0025 or 2/ROFNB 157 13/3 ) The DTU provides the digital interface between the MS and the RE. The physical connection with the MS is established via 100 ohm twisted pair cables.
PBX and the RE. Every LTU board contains 8 Line Termination Circuits (LTC, see Figure 4-8). An LTC interfaces to the PBX through a two–wire analog subscriber line. Every analog line is dedicated to a specific Portable Telephone number. The LTC terminates the line to the PBX like an ordinary wired analog telephone.
Digital Line Unit - DLU (REX-BRD0023) Basic Board The Digital Line Unit (DLU) card is used only in standalone configurations. The card provides the DCT1900 system with the ability to deliver features such as calling party name/number, message waiting indicator, and multi-line operation to the Portable Telephone.

HAPTER Introduction The DCT1900 system was developed as a modular system in order to obtain maximum flexibility in initial configuration and future growth. Each system can be configured to satisfy the specific customer requirements. The Configuration Directions provide an explanation of the different factors that influence the size of a system and their acceptable values.
600 when digital trunks (DTUs) are used, 144 when digital links (DLUs) are used and 208 Portable Telephones when analog lines (LTUs) are used. The number of Portable Telephones supported by the DCT1900 Mobility System controlled by the MS but cannot exceed 2048 for a single RE. CPU Firmware The memory space reserved by the CPU for each type of board is limited to a maximum of 15 CLU boards, 8 SPU/SLU, 34 LTU, 10 DTU-E1 , 34 DLU and 13 DTU-T1.

HAPTER Base Station Planning The major task in configuring a DCT1900 system is defining the number of Base Stations required to cover an area to a satisfactory level. This Chapter describes how a Base Station plan can be made in order to gain full area coverage. Chapter 5, Paragraph 5.2 explains how traffic requirements additionally influence the number of Base Stations.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Configuration Directions, Base Station Planning X–ray rooms in hospitals protected by lead walls, computer rooms in banking buildings protected against unwanted interference, etc. do not allow radio signals to enter. Exhibition halls or production halls may give reflections due to huge metal structures. This causes interference which reduces the capacity and coverage area per Base Station.
Install a Base Station in the middle of the "typical area" and power the Site Survey Tool. Switch a Portable Telephone to DCA mode and set up a call. Walk away from the Base Station in one direction. Also enter rooms with the Portable Telephone switching to your left and right hand.

Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Configuration Directions, Base Station Planning 4. Measure horizontal range on floor below, see Figure 3–2, (3). Go to the floor below, leaving the Base Station on its current location and measure the horizontal coverage again.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Configuration Directions, Base Station Powering Radio Exchange Fig. 4–1 Powering Base Stations by a remote Supply Powering Base Stations via the Modular Cabinet Base Stations are powered via the following path: External source-MCCB-CLU/SLU-Base Station Base Stations are connected to the CLU or SLU via an MDF by 2, 3 or 4 twisted pair cables. The maximum permissible length depends on the wire size and the number of pairs used between the MDF and Base Station.
When using the PBX option refer to the PBX supplier and/or PBX documentation to assure that the PBX power supply matches the worst case power requirements of the DCT1900 system. The external source must supply –48Vdc, which may be connected to the backplane for powering the system boards and directly to the MCCB for powering the Base Stations.
Page 124
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Configuration Directions, Base Station Powering where: n = number of twisted pairs (when using data pairs only: n=2) U = power supply voltage = worst case power consumption of Base Station = 7.5W Base = resistance of twisted pair per meter (double value of single wire)
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Configuration Directions, Base Station Powering Alternative for Calculating the Power Consumption per Base Station In Figure 4–4 the power consumption of the Base Station and the cabling is given as a function of the cable length in terms of percentage. This relation is almost independent of the number of cable pairs, cable resistance and supply voltage.
HAPTER Traffic Capacity of the System The traffic capacity of the DCT1900 system is mainly determined by the RE and in exceptional cases also by the Base Stations. The RE can handle a maximum of 60 simultaneous calls, and a single Base Station has a capacity of 8 simultaneous calls.
In certain places, traffic demands may vary such that locally the network is often blocking, or has a lower GOS than required. For instance, a purchasing department may easily generate 300 mE per Portable Telephone during a busy hour, with 6 persons giving a very high Minutes per hour...

Test and Maintenance Software Introduction The DCT1900 system has a powerful Test & Maintenance module incorporated in the system software. This software module regularly tests the entire system to locate possible faults in an early stage and to isolate the faulty circuits, thus minimizing the reduction in system service and to generate subsequent error messages and alarms.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Maintenance, Test and Maintenance Software SPU Board SLU Board Error Handling The T&M software in the CPU is activated either on detection of operational faults, or when a test has to be executed. A description of tests that T&M can perform is found in Section 2.3. This section deals with fault handling.

Fault Signalling Introduction This chapter describes how maintenance personnel or system managers are informed about faults in the DCT1900 system. Faults are signalled to the outside world in the following ways: General Alarm/Service Message System Screen of CSMW software Individual user complaints...
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Maintenance, Fault Signalling Checking Component Status through Cordless System Manager Checking radio Checking radio exchange components maybe done to verify fault reports from the service table or to check proper connection of base stations after installation. It is possible to check the status of a system board and its peripheral circuits in the Radio Exchange window of the CSMW.
Individual user complaints point to parts in the system that can only be accessed by that particular Portable Telephone. These parts are the Portable Telephone itself, the charger, etc. Unlike faults, for instance in Base Stations or system boards, which affect more than one user and mostly cause error reports, these types of faults cannot be detected by the system simply because of their nature.
Faults occurring in same area Blocking calls Lost calls Alarms to Mobility Server (DCT1900 Mobility Configuration Only) To inform the MS about its operational state, the DCT1900 system can send the following alarms: Alarm1 Alarm2 Alarm3 LEDs LEDs can be found on all system boards and Base Stations. Those LEDs may not and cannot be taken as alarm signalling devices because they are usually out-of-sight.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Maintenance, Fault Signalling 3.7.2 LEDs on CPU The CPU is the only board having six LEDs. LEDs 1 to 4 are identical to the LEDs on other boards. LED 5 and 6 are found below the reset button.
ORANGE Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) Display – Portable Telephone The Portable Telephones can be switched to DCA mode. In this mode the Portable Telephone displays information regarding the radio interface, like Base Station number, carrier, time slot number, RSSI, RQI, etc., while calls can still be made and received normally. The call indicator shows the user the hook status.
Technical Product Manual - DCT1900 Maintenance, Fault Signalling 3.8.1 Activating DCA mode 1. Switch off the Portable Telephone 2. Switch on again with special code: longer than 1 second) 3. The display in Figure 3-2 is momentarily visible. Then the display will change to the normal standby mode display.
A Portable Telephone is always blind for the two adjacent time slots. For example, a Portable Telephone is locked on a Base Station on time slot 5. If it approaches a Base Station that has only one active channel (traffic or beacon) on time slot 4 or time slot 6, the Portable Telephone will not see that Base Station.
