RFP is best received. The one that can be best received is defined as the active RFP. To prevent the PP from rapidly switching back and forth between two RFPs’ that have similar signal strength, certain threshold values are in effect. Aastra Page: 6 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
(RFPs’)) being distributed over an IP network and offering DECT wireless and IP interfaces. • A SIP Call Manager/IP PBX/Media Server platform (e.g. Asterisk). • Aastra DECT 142 Handsets / Aastra 142d (also known as Portable Parts (PP)) • OpenMobility Manager (OMM): Management interface for the DECToverIP using SIP solution, which runs on one of the Radio Fixed Parts.
Installation, Administration and Maintenance About the Access Points (RFPs’) Aastra DeTeWe provides 3 kind of Access Points: RFP L32 DECT Access Point as indoor model RFP L34 DECT Access Point as outdoor model RFP L42 WLAN DECT + WLAN Access Point as indoor model In general the RFP 32 and RFP 34 have the same hardware and software capabilities.

RFP activates the OMM services. Note: It is possible to deactivate the DECT part of a RFP. If the DECT interface is deactivated then all resources (CPU and memory) are available for the OMM. Aastra Page: 10 (104) depl-0900/0.4...

The OpenMobility Manager (OMM) runs on one of the RFPs’. IP signalling and media stream To establish a call between an IP Phone and a PP (Aastra DECT 142 Handset / Aastra 142d), the following IP streams must be established: •...
Page 13
A call from one PP to another that resides on the same RFP will loop back within the RFP, if no media gateway is involved. So the call will not pass through to the Local Area Network (LAN). Although the voice packets will not impact LAN traffic, signal packets will. Aastra Page: 13 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
Page 14
RFP has a better signal strength. Again the media stream from the SIP phone cannot move to the secondary RFP, so the primary RFP uses the LAN to direct the voice to the new secondary RFP. Aastra Page: 14 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
If a RFP loses the synchronization the RFP does not accept new calls (“busy bit”). There is a delay of maximum 3 minutes until the active calls on this RFP are finished. Then it tries to get synchronized again. Aastra Page: 15 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
Whenever the busy state is announced a log entry is made to the system logs. If the announcement of busy raises in a specific area, a further RFP should be installed to double the number of media streams available for calls. Aastra Page: 16 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
Installation, Administration and Maintenance About the Portable Parts Portable Part (PP) is DECT standard terminology and in the context of the DECToverIP using SIP solution is interchangeable with handset. Aastra provides the following handsets: 142d 610d 620d 630d 142d 610d...
Installation, Administration and Maintenance In addition to the Aastra DECT 142 / Aastra 142d, standard 3rd party DECT GAP phones may operate on the DECToverIP using SIP solution. But the functionality may be limited by the characteristics of the 3rd party DECT phone.
Booting is performed in two steps: 1. Starting the boot process. 2. Starting the application. Booter The RFP has only a little standalone application built into the flash. This software realizes the so called net boot process. Aastra Page: 19 (104) depl-0900/0.4...

If no matching reply was received the DHCP client resends the request 2 times after 1 second. Then the DHCP client will wait for 1 minute before resending 3 requests again. If the DHCP client cannot accept an DHCP offer within 3 minutes the RFP is rebooted. Aastra Page: 24 (104) depl-0900/0.4...
