Requirements And Conditions; Using A Repeater - Mitel 5610 IP Dect Stand Configuration And Administration Manual

Configuration and Administration Guide

Requirements and Conditions


An MCD system must have software MCD Release 4.0 SP1 or later to support the Mitel 5610
Cordless Handset and IP DECT stand. A 5000 CP must be equipped with v4.0 or later
software.

Roaming (call handoff) is not supported between IP DECT stands.

Although you can register up to eight handsets with an IP DECT stand, the stand only
supports up to three simultaneous calls. If three calls are already in progress via the IP DECT
stand, any other handset users who attempt to place a call will receive busy tone.
- For site applications where all the users registered to a stand are expected to place calls
frequently, register a maximum of three handsets to the stand.
For site applications where users will seldom place calls, it may be suitable to register
-
more than three handsets to a single stand.

Using a Repeater

You can have up to 6 RTX4002 DECT repeaters connected to an IP DECT stand to extend handset
signal range. Note that each repeater that you connect to the stand reduces the number of supported
handsets by one. For example if you connect one repeater, then you can only register seven
handsets; if you connect two repeaters, then you can only register six handsets.
A maximum of two simultaneous calls can be handled per repeater. Note that a conference
established through the 5610 handset menus counts as two calls on a 5610 device.
Refer to the RTX4002 DECT Repeater Installation Guide for instructions on how to install the
repeater and register it with the stand. After registration is complete, the LED on the repeater remains
on solid. While the repeater is supporting a call, the LED on the repeater flashes.
After installing a RTX4002 DECT repeater, test the signal range to ensure that the repeater has
registered with the stand. Test the handset signal range by going to the limit of signal range. If the
repeater has registered with the stand, the handset signal range should be approximately 50 meters
(indoors) or 300 meters (outdoors) from the repeater. You can also use the repeater verification tone
to check if a handset is supported in the extended area of the repeater. To determine if a handset call
is being supported by the repeater by using the verification tone:
1. Enable the verification tone feature on the stand. Refer to the RTX4002 DECT Repeater
Installation Guide for instructions. By default, this tone is disabled.
2. Initiate a call from the handset in the repeater area when this tone is enabled. If the call is being
supported by the repeater, you will hear the verification tone (a single tone repeated every 2.5
seconds).
3. Disable the verification tone. Refer to the RTX4002 DECT Repeater Installation Guide for
instructions.
