• SIPL connections are available on CS 1000 Release 6.0 and later, and use SIP Line Gateway nodes to connect SIP clients to the Call Server. SIPL connections support SIP DECT handset registration, and require that you create a SIPL subtype of UEXT blocks on the Call Server.

SIP Line Gateway Each DAP communicates with the subscribed DECT handsets in the coverage area, and each DAP interacts with the CS 1000 and with other configured DAPs in the company network. You can run SIP DECT on the following configurations: •...
Page 13
No Associated Telephone (AST) or Computer-Telephone Integration (CTI) capabilities are currently available for SIP DECT. Each DECT handset has a local Directory Number (DN) in CS 1000. Use this local DN to subscribe the corresponding DECT handsets on the SIP DECT system through DAP Manager.
Target DN on the UEXT corresponding to the DECT handset. CS 1000 supports only the Unsolicited MWI NOTIFY model. An external SIP UA cannot SUBSCRIBE to MWI NOTIFY messages and cannot request the current status of MWI for the DN from the system (by sending SUBSCRIBE messages).
• “DECT Access Points” (page 18) Call server, Signaling server, and SIP Line Gateway Before you install SIP DECT you must install and configure a CS 1000 system, as follows: • For SIPN configuration, install Call Server and Signaling Server.
Ensure that the G.711 codec is available in your system. It is not possible to make calls between the Nortel IP Softphone 2050 and DECT handsets when you select the I use a modem to connect to the network check box in the Audio settings for the softphone.

The PABX is sometimes referred to as Gatekeeper or SIP proxy, depending on the type of PABX that is used. To facilitate network management, Nortel recommends that fixed IP addresses are also assigned by the DHCP server. Ensure that the DHCP server has the hardware MAC addresses of all servers to issue the proper (fixed) IP addresses to each individual server.
Page 31
Multi Site Mobility Network (MSMN) Configuration makes it possible to use portable DECT handsets on various MCDN nodes where each node is a CS 1000 system plus the corresponding SIP DECT system. MSMN allows roaming between independent SIP DECT systems installed on separate Call Servers (connected by trunks).

SIP DECT system and cannot be used to make calls. ATTENTION For SIPN configurations, the CS 1000 system is not aware of the status of the handset, and attempts to send calls to the handset even if the handset is absent.
Subscription export and import 205 System backup Nortel recommends that you back up the SIP DECT system whenever you make changes to the system configuration. Procedure 119 Backing up a system Step Action Open Internet Explorer, and enter the following URL in the address field: localhost/cds.
Navigate to the folder where the file to be imported is stored. Select the file to be imported. Click OK. --End-- You must also configure the CS 1000 system to which the SIP DECT system is connected. For information, see “Call server configuration” (page 140).
Use the procedure in this section to create an archive file containing various system settings, third line maintenance data, and performance data. The Nortel help desk can request this information if you experience certain types of problems with your SIP DECT system.
Page 211
In the table Define Update Periods, specify the days of the week and the time period updates are to occur. Nortel recommends that you have the system perform updates during out-of-office periods. The handset functions during firmware updating; however firmware updating reduces the number of available channels on a radio.
Central directory access tool 215 Supported database types Nortel supports using Flat Excel database as a database type for a Central directory access tool. Create an Excel file for the central database You can create a an Excel sheet to contain your central database. When you install the Central directory access tool, specify the path to the Excel file and the file name.
Nortel AccessService • Nortel DirectoryService Ensure that Nortel AccessService and Nortel DirectoryService are present in the list, and have a Status of Started. --End-- Configure SIP DECT for Central directory access You must configure SIP DECT to reach the Central directory access services.
If you cannot resolve the issue, collect the necessary information including a system survey, system archive, and network traces. Describe the issue and contact the Nortel help desk. System survey Complete a system survey for your SIP DECT configuration. Provide the information outlined in the following sections to describe your hardware, IP addresses, software version, configuration, and numbering plan.
CallPilot in use (yes or no): DAP information file The DAP information file contains the main configuration parameters for the current DAP; the Nortel help desk can use it for detailed access. For more information, see Procedure 128 “Viewing DAP configuration information”...
246 System maintenance Network packet capture traces The Nortel help desk may ask you to collect network traces if some call scenarios fail on your SIP DECT system. Traces contain SIP messages and RTP packets sent over the Ethernet. You can collect traces from a computer connected to the network (when hubs are in use or if port mirroring is configured on IP switches).

The size values used in the location builder do not correspond to real-world units, such as meters or feet. However, Nortel recommends that you consistently enter values that equal the measurements in meters to make your location map easy to understand.
Page 251
• In the w field, define the width (x size) of the building. Nortel recommends that you enter the actual width of the building in meters. • In the h field, define the depth (y size) of the building.
Charge the deployment tool battery for at least six hours before using. CAUTION Equipment Damage Use the Nortel battery charger. This charger is a separately ordered item. Failure to use an automatic shutoff battery charger can damage the battery. Do not use the battery supplied with the CT2 deployment tool.
However, keep the following in mind: • Some environments can cause poor tone at a RSSI meter reading of 7 to 10. In this case, contact the Nortel Help desk for assistance. • The tone stops after the radio link is lost.
