Installation Of The Base Station; Base Station Cabling; Fix The Mounting Bracket To A Wall - Avaya IPBS1 Installation And Operation Manual

Installation of the Base Station

This section describes how to install the IPBSs, BS3x0 and DB1. All three base stations can be
fixed to a wall, a ceiling, a pole or a beam, by means of the mounting bracket included. When
fixing the base station to a wall or ceiling the included plugs and screws must be used. When
fixing it to a pole or beam a strap or a flexible metal band must be used, this is not included.
Note: Fixing the base station to metal surfaces requires special consideration and is not recommended
for several reasons. If this is unavoidable try to ensure a distance between the base station and the metal
surface of, preferably, 1 meter.

Base Station Cabling

Recommended base station cable is a standard CAT5 unshielded ethernet cable with minimum
26 AWG copper conductors, this cable is also used for powering the base station. It is assumed
that installation personnel know how to crimp RJ45 connectors to a cable.
Note: Since the distance between the base station and the wall is limited, a RJ45 modular jack without
cable retention must be used.
Note: Ensure that during the installation of an base station, each base station is given an extra length
(5-10 metres) of cable because it is possible that it will have to be moved for one reason or another.
Install the Base Station
The base station can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Mount the base station at places and
positions as determined in the base station plan, see the applicable System Planning
documentation for IP-DECT. The base station must be placed in a way that it is not facing large
metal objects such as large heating pipes.

Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Wall

Fix the mounting bracket (see
1. Hold the mounting bracket with its flat side against the wall with the text 'TOP' upwards
and mark the two holes. The minimum distance between the upper hole and the ceiling or
any object above the base station must be at least 65 mm for IPBS1 and 100 mm for
IPBS2 and DB1, see

2. When using wall plugs: Drill the two holes using a  6 mm drill and insert the included wall
plugs.
