Product Overview - Aidcall Touchsafe Pro IP-DECT 400 Single-Cell Installation Manual

1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) system allows 2‐way voice communications amongst
staff, both internally and externally if required. In addition, active call information from the Touchsafe Pro
Nursecall system can be sent out as text alerts to individuals or groups of staff as required.
The size/complexity of the building and/or the number of DECT handsets required will determine which
one of 3 possible DECT systems is installed;
All DECT systems use the same handsets, it's the Server type and number of Base Stations/Repeaters that
are needed to achieve site coverage and how they are configured which differs. The type of DECT system
and positioning of Base Stations/Repeaters will be determined by a site survey prior to commencing the
installation.
All Base Stations are star‐wired from a central PoE Data Switch on Cat5e cable (max length 100 metres).
Repeaters operate wirelessly but require connection to a battery backed 12V DC power supply. In the event
of a mains power failure a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) will maintain operation of the DECT system.
An optional Integrator alarm messaging interface can be installed to convert the Nursecall Panel's pager
output into text messages which are transmitted and displayed on the DECT handsets. The DECT system
can be setup so all the Nursecall system events are always alerted to all handsets, or day/night groups can
be set so different handsets can be alerted depending on the time of day. The handsets can be configured
into zones so alerts are only notified to the staff responsible for specific areas.
With the addition of an optional IP‐PBX (or connection to an existing IP‐PBX) the DECT handsets can access
an outside line to make/receive telephone calls or integrate with an existing internal telephone system.
