  • Page 4: Introduction

    PBX. This guide illustrates the steps and recommendations to setup a DECT system using our DP750 base station, DP720 handset and the repeater DP760. Beside DECT and wireless aspects, it also addresses network requirements, capacity planning and measuring methods to ensure good coverage and call quality on customers sites.

    Figure 1: Attenuation Phenomenon The following table gives some general guidelines on the degree to which certain materials will obstruct the radio signal. Users need also to check if there are neighboring wireless networks operating on the same frequency band. Table 4: Radio Attenuation for different Materials Materials Degree of Attenuation...

    Capacity Planning The following table resumes the number of concurrent calls supported on DP7xx Table 5: Number of Concurrent Calls DP750 base station 5 calls DP760 repeater 2 calls To avoid insufficient user experience through congested DECT network, the capacity for the DECT network must be large enough to guarantee that the subscribers can be reached in high density traffic.

    Using Multiple Base Stations Cell Coverage As described before, the cell of a DP750 is ideally in a ring shape. But in real world situations, many obstructions can affect the signal and the coverage doesn’t reach all intended distance. Thus, prior measurements need to be performed in order to guarantee full coverage of the site.

    Step 1: Enabling Repeater Mode on DP750 Before associating the DP760 DECT Repeater to your DP750 Base Station, you should firstly enable the repeater mode on your base station. Please refer following steps to enable the repeater mode on the DP750 base station:...

  • Page 14: Deploying Dp760 Repeater

    Deploying DP760 Repeater DP750 Base Station can support up to 5 DP760 DECT Repeater stations to extend the coverage area of the base in all directions. When the repeater powers on, it searches for signals from the base and any other repeaters registered to the same base and it will automatically connect to the strongest available signal.
  • Page 15: Figure 8: Dp760 Deployment

    We recommend having a distance within 50 meters between the repeater and the base, so that the repeater stays within the base range. DP720 DP750 DP720 Figure 8: DP760 Deployment P a g e DECT Deployment Guide...
  • Page 16: On-Site Measuring

    ON-SITE MEASURING Installing Base Station After planning the actual locations for the base stations, it is recommended to confirm the circumstances using on-site measurements. Usually, base stations must be spaced out at intervals of approximately 2.5m horizontally when deploying multiple bases and an ideal height between 2m and 2.5m. It is recommended as well to have base stations close to the center of the area as much as possible.
  • Page 17: Test Calls And Optimization

    Capacity in term of number of calls: users can make several concurrent calls and determine that the intended capacity is satisfied. Note: The DP750 Supports 4 concurrent calls. The DP720 supports 2 concurrent calls when using the DP760. After this is done, and with results of the signal strength measurements the user can mark any remaining dead spots on the site for optimization.
