Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 Deployment and Installation Guide

Find the Best Installation Locations

1. Avoid areas with large metal surfaces and heavy machinery that may interfere with base unit
signals.
Keep Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s at least 1,2 meters/4 feet away from steel con-
l
structions.
Do not place Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s directly on metallic surfaces.
l
Do not hide Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s behind furniture or other physical objects.
l
Do not paint Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s. Paint contains metallic/carbon particles
l
that can affect transmission.
2. Locate ethernet access and either PoE or AC power outlets required to support the Spec-
tralink IP-DECT Server 200s.
Note:
Order Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 with AC Adaptor bundle if you do not have
PoE, or simply add a standard PoE switch or standard PoE injector to power the
server. Depending on the type of product bundle ordered - the AC power supply
for the IP-DECT Server 200 may be included.
3. Verify with the end users where coverage is needed so the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200
can be placed near center of the 75 meters/245-feet radius where users are normally situated.
Tip:
Also identify areas where coverage is not required to simplify the installation.
4. Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s should preferably be placed between 2.4 - 3.6 meters/8 -
12 feet high on a wall (and no higher than 6 meters/20 feet). If placed lower, a passersby may
interfere with the signal. The connectors can be pointed either up or down.
5. Do NOT install units upside down or on the ceiling. Doing so decreases coverage by 40 - 50%.
6. Ensure there is no heavy use of DECT headsets or residential DECT phone systems with indi-
vidual transmitters in the same area you are installing your additional DECT devices. This can
cause interference and could affect performance of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200s.
