IP DECT Radio Base Station 1 (IPBS1)
The DECT R4 Radio Base Stations are used with IP Office only. You can have up to five base stations per
system. Each station connects directly to a LAN switch using Ethernet cabling. The DECT R4 Radio Base Stations
can either be powered by Power-over-Ethernet or by using external power supplies that are available as
accessories.
Each standard DECT R4 Radio Base Station can handle up to eight concurrent calls while each Compact Radio
Base Station can handle up to 4 concurrent calls. A special protocol called on-air synchronization ensures that
active calls are seamlessly handed over from one DECT R4 Radio Base Station to the next one if a user with an
active call roams through a building.
To make sure that the on-air protocol works and that the whole building is covered by the ranges of the DECT
R4 Radio Base Stations, a site survey is needed to determine the number and placement of the DECT R4 Radio
Base stations within the building. Avaya offers these site surveys as a service offer by AGS as well as
measurement kits for business partners who want to do these site surveys on their own.
The on-air synchronization as well as the access to the phonebook of IP Office is done by a special software
(master server) that can run in parallel to the standard DECT R4 Radio Base Station software on the same
hardware.
In IP Office Release 8.0, IPBS2 replaced IPBS1. While they are functionally the same, IPBS2 can be used in a
mixed configuration with IPBS1.
