Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Deployment Rules of Thumb Be systematic Document Do not assume - Measure IP-DECT Base Station using Radio Synchronization (Over The Air) Note: It is recommended to deploy a system as a star system with the sync master placed in the middle. -
Page 20: Deployment Procedure
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Deployment Procedure Start by placing your tripod with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 (from your deployment tools) where you plan the first base station (the sync master) to be: Take picture of the placement and note it on a blueprint of the building. - Page 21 Consider where to place the next base station so that the handset gets opportunity to han- dover to the next base station. Determine where to place the next base stations. Move your tripod with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 to the next placement. Note: Take picture of the placement and note it on a blueprint of the building.

Page 22: Placement Of Base Stations
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Placement of Base Stations When determining where to place the base stations, following points must be considered: To get maximum coverage from a base station the base stations must be as visible as pos- sible. - Page 23 Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Sync latency in sync chains. Propagation through building materials – dense materials influence propagation negatively. Base stations shall be placed away from reflecting materials like metal. Base stations shall be placed away from other DECT base stations.

Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Deployment Procedure Start by placing your tripod with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 (from your deployment tools) where you plan the first base station to be: Place the first base station in a corner of the building so there is coverage in the corner. - Page 26 Do not assume that there is coverage - it has to be measured! Note how far the place is from the tripod with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400. Find the next place for the base station app 2 x the above distance from the first placement Consider where to place the next base so that the handset gets opportunity to handover to the next base station.

Page 29: Lan Based Synchronization
Note: LAN based synchronization only works when using a Spectralink Handset. The latest generation of Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station s support the use of corporate Local Area Network (LAN) for synchronization of the DECT radios when running software release PCS15C or later. -
Page 30: Deployment Of Base Stations
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Deployment of Base Stations When the base station radios are synchronized via radio, the base stations that synchronize to each other must be within radio coverage of each other. This is not required when LAN based syn- chronization is used. -
Page 31: Multicast
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Multicast The PTPv2 multicast packets cannot traverse routers and consequently the IP-DECT base stations that needs to be synchronized must be on the same switched network segment. Regardless of the transport selected, IPv4, IPv6 or Ethernet, the network switches must allow mul- ticast traffic to and from all the LAN base stations. -
Page 32: Network Topology
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and DECT Server 2500/8000 Synchronization and Deployment Guide Network Topology Every time a PTPv2 packet passes through a switch - jitter is potentially added. Therefore, the num- ber of switches between all base stations must be kept low. Because every individual base station... -
