Planning and Installation Guide Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect UNDERSTANDING NETWORKING AND POWER REQUIREMENTS This topic contains information about network and power requirements and recommendations. NETWORKING REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following are networking requirements and recommendations: • Assign an IP address (DHCP or static) for each base (required).
Page 13
Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect Planning and Installation Guide The DECT base stations are synchronized over the air interface. The first DECT base station to complete startup transmits a signal on the air for the other DECT base stations to synchronize from. If a DECT base station gets in sync, it transmits a signal on the air and becomes the sync source for the next DECT base station.
Page 14
Planning and Installation Guide Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect The sync-over-air solution is very reliable because all existing redundant paths are used for synchronization. Thus, hardware tolerances have only very little influence. No DECT base station has a key position. Only unfavorable setups without redundant synchronization paths can cause problems.
Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect Planning and Installation Guide If a preferred DECT base station was determined in stage 0, this one becomes the synchronization source for the subsequent DECT base stations. Otherwise the first DECT base station that sends a startup message becomes the synchronization source for the subsequent DECT base stations.
A powered-on base station that is otherwise in a factory default state. Make a note of the MAC address of the Mitel RFP 4X base station (located at the bottom panel). (The Ethernet cable does not need to be plugged in at this stage because the site survey focuses on the received signal strength between the base station and handset.)
Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect Planning and Installation Guide • A fully charged handset POSITION AND POWER UP THE BASE For this procedure you will need to power the base station during the site survey. It is not necessary to provide a live network connection at this time, but keep in mind that the identified final location of the base station will need a live Ethernet cable connection and power source.
The recommended procedure to use for inspection is as follows: 1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. If damage is detected, make a “defective on arrival – DOA” report to Mitel Customer Service. The Mitel Customer Service representative will initiate the necessary procedure to process the return.
Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect Planning and Installation Guide 1. Press down the back cover and slide it towards the bottom of the handset. 2. Remove back cover from handset. RECORD HANDSET SERIAL NUMBER (IPEI NUMBER) The International Portable Equipment Identity (IPEI) of each handset is printed either on a label located behind the battery or on the packaging label.
Planning and Installation Guide Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect 2. Never replace the battery in potentially explosive environments, for example close to flammable liquids or gases. 3. ONLY use approved batteries and chargers from the vendor or operator. 4. Do not disassemble, customize, or short circuit the battery.
Mitel SIP-DECT Multi-Cell for MiVoice Connect Planning and Installation Guide BASE STATION MECHANICS The base station front panel has an LED indicator that signals the different functional states of the base unit and occasionally of the overall network. The indicator is off when the base unit is not powered.
To enable users to use the DECT 612 phone in MiVoice Connect, you must first add the users to the system so that handsets can be assigned to the users. You can add users through the Mitel Connect Director Portal. See the Configuring Users section of MiVoice Connect System Administration Guide to add users.
2. Navigate to Administration > Telephones > SIP Profiles. 3. Click New, and then enter the following information: • Enter MITELDECT in Name and MITEL SIP-DECT* in User Agent to indicate that this profile is used with the Multi-Cell DECT system. •...
