•
Please note that in empty buildings, adding furniture and equipment (machines, movable
walls, etc.) at a later stage will affect the wireless quality.
•
Openings in obstacles improve the technical wireless conditions.
•
Consider any possible interference factors (
Installation guidelines
The following points must be considered when installing DECT base stations:
•
For wireless coverage within a building, always install the base stations on internal walls.
Information on installation in an outside area,
•
The optimal installation height for a base station is between 1.8 and 3 m depending on
the room height. If you position the base stations any lower, furniture and moving objects
can cause interference. There should be a minimum clearance of 0.5 m to the ceiling.
•
We recommend installing all base stations at the same height.
•
Gigaset N870 IP PRO base stations require an Ethernet connection to the PABX, i.e. it must
be possible to connect to the LAN.
•
Gigaset N870 IP PRO base stations are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af).
Therefore, you do not normally require a power connection. However, if you use an Ethernet
switch that does not support PoE, you can use a PoE injector as an alternative. If there is an
option of connecting to the mains power supply in the vicinity of the base station, you can
also use the power adapter to provide a power supply (to be ordered separately).
•
Do not install the base station in suspended ceilings, cupboards or other closed furnishings.
The wireless coverage can be significantly reduced, depending on the materials used.
•
The base station should be installed vertically.
•
The location and alignment of the base station installed should be identical to the position
deemed optimum during the measurement stage.
•
Avoid installation in the direct vicinity of cable channels, metal cupboards or other larger
metal parts. These can reduce the radiation and couple into interfering signals. There should
be a minimum distance of 50 cm.
•
Observe the safety distances and safety regulations. Observe the regulations specified
in rooms where there is a danger of explosions.
