SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 1 Overview

1 Overview

This document describes the installation / configuration, administration, and maintenance of the SIP – DECT solution.
Other valid documentation
Please observe also the information to other parts of your SIP – DECT installation given in the documents listed in the section entitled References starting on page 179.
Reference
For a list of abbreviations and definitions valid for this manual please refer to the appropriate chapters in the Appendix starting on page 174.

1.1 The SIP – DECT Solution

The SIP – DECT solution comprises the following main components:
Aastra SIP – DECT base stations or Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs) being distributed over an
IP network and offering DECT and IP interfaces.
Portable DECT devices known as handsets, Portable Parts (PP) or just device e.g. Aastra
620d.
OpenMobility Manager (OMM) : Management and signaling SW for the SIP – DECT
solution, which runs on one of the Radio Fixed Parts or on a dedicated Linux PC (for large installations).
A SIP Call Manager/IP PBX/Media Server platform e.g. Asterisk.
The following figure gives a graphical overview of the architecture of the SIP – DECT wireless solution:
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 6 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 1 Overview
The IP PBX/media server/media gateway, OMM and the RFPs communicate through the IP infrastructure. The RFPs and the Portable Parts communicate over the air, where the DECT GAP protocol or DECT GAP with proprietary enhancements is used.
The SIP – DECT solution supports seamless handover between RFPs which are in a group of synchronized RFPs (cluster) and roaming between RFPs on remote sites.
Additional components are:
LDAP server to facilitate a central corporate directory;
Provisioning server to provide RFP configuration or user data files;
Data backup server to automatically backup an OMM database on the server or to
automatically import an OMM database into the OMM;
OM Locating server and clients to run the Aastra SIP – DECT locating solution;
3rd party messaging or alarm server to integrate the SIP – DECT text messaging into a
unified messaging or alarm environment;
Computer for administration and maintenance tools: Web browser, OM Management
Portal (OMP), DECT Monitor.

1.2 About the Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs)

Aastra provides 3 types of RFPs for the SIP – DECT solution:
RFP 32 IP / RFP L32 IP
DECT RFP as indoor model
RFP 34 IP / RFP L34 IP
DECT RFP as outdoor model
RFP 42 WLAN / RFP L42 WLAN
DECT RFP + WLAN Access Point as indoor model
In general the RFP 32 and RFP 34 have the same hardware and software capabilities. Please be aware of the regulatory differences between North America and all other areas of the world. These differences lead to different RFP 32/34 variants which use specific frequency bands and field strengths:
RFP 32 NA or RFP 34 NA (NA)
- Frequency Band 1920 to 1930 MHz
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 7 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 1 Overview
- 5 carrier frequencies
- Transmit Power 20 dBm
RFP L32 IP or RFP L34 IP (EMEA)
- - Frequency Band 1880 to 1900 MHz
- - 10 carrier frequencies
- - Transmit Power 24 dBm
The RFP L42 WLAN is only available for the EMEA region.
RFP 32 IP / RFP L32 IP / RFP 32 NA RFP L42 WLAN / RFP 42 WLAN
1 Power jack (120 V/230 V AC adapter)
2 Ethernet jack; Power supply in line with Power over Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af
The difference between L-RFPs (L32 IP / L34 IP / L42 WLAN) and non-L-RFPs (32 IP / 34 IP / 42 WLAN) is that the “L” variants have a build-in license, please see chapter Licensing for details.

1.2.1 RFP only Mode

Within this mode the RFP converts IP protocol to DECT protocol and then transmits the traffic to and from the handsets over a DECT time slot. On air the RFP has 12 available time slots, 8 can have associated DSP resources for media streams. All DECT time slots are used for control signaling, SW download over air, messaging and bearer handover independent of associated DSP resources.
2 control signaling channels are also used to carry bearer signals that signal the handset to start the handover process. If the radio signal of another RFP is stronger than that of the current RFP, then the handset starts the handover process to the RFP that has the stronger signal as the user moves around the site.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 8 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 1 Overview
Clusters
Groups of RFPs can be built which are named clusters. Within a cluster RFPs are synchronized to enable a seamless handover when an user crosses from one RFP’s area of coverage to another. For synchronization it is not necessary for an RFP to see directly all other RFPs in the system. Each RFP only needs to be able to see the next RFP in the chain. But it is preferable for an RFP to see more than one RFP to guarantee synchronization in the event that one of the RFPs fails.

1.2.2 OpenMobility Manager (OMM) Mode

If the OMM shall not run on a dedicated Linux PC then one RFP within a SIP – DECT installation must be declared to operate as the OpenMobility Manager (OMM). The RFP acting as the OMM may also act as a regular RFP as well if it is included into a DECT cluster.
In OMM mode an RFP functions as a regular RFP. Additionally it is responsible for SIP signaling between the SIP – DECT system and the IP PBX/media server. Further on it takes over the management part of the SIP – DECT solution. You designate an RFP as the OMM by assigning an IP address to the RFP within the DHCP scope (see chapter 7.5) or by setting the data via the OM Configurator (see 7.6). After an RFP is designated as the OMM, it starts the extra services on board (for example, the web service that supports the management interface). All RFPs download the same firmware from a TFTP server but only one RFP activates the OMM services.
Note: It is possible to deactivate the DECT part of an RFP. If the DECT interface is
deactivated then all resources (CPU and memory) are available for the OMM.

1.3 About the OpenMobility Manager

The OpenMobility Manager (OMM) runs on one of the RFPs or on a dedicated Linux PC. There is only one active OpenMobility Manager (OMM) in the system.

1.3.1 OMM Tasks

The OMM performs the following tasks:
Signaling gateway (SIP <-> DECT)
Media stream management
Managing sync-over-air functions between RFPs
Provides a Web service for system configuration
Provides additional services e.g.
- LDAP based central corporate directory
- OM Application XML interface (OM AXI) for OAM&P,
messaging, alerting service and locating
- Integrated Messaging and Alerting Service (OM IMA)
- Data backup and provisioning services

Please be aware of differences in regulatory requirements between North America and all other areas of the world. These differences lead to different Aastra 142d variants which use specific frequency bands and field strengths:
Aastra DECT 142 (NA)
- Frequency Band 1920 to 1930 MHz
- 60 duplex channels
- 100 mW (maximum output per active channel)
- 5 mW (average output per active channel)
Aastra 142d (EMEA)
- Frequency Band 1880 to 1900 MHz
- 120 duplex channels
- 250 mW (maximum output per active channel)
- 10 mW (average output per active channel)
The Aastra 610d / 620d / 630d supports both the NA and EMEA regulatory requirements.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 2 Getting Started

2 Getting Started

This chapter describes how to set up a small SIP – DECT system using two RFP devices, useable as a small stand-alone DECT telephony system or for evaluation purposes.
Prerequisites
Some hardware and software prerequisites are to be met to follow this quick start guide:
two licensed RFP devices (RFP L32 IP),
a PC to run a browser or start java programs,
a PC-based server for setting up DHCP/TFTP,
two or more DECT handsets (preferably two Aastra 610d/620d/630d),
OMM-SIP installation medium with software, such as the “omm_ffsip.tftp” file,
optional: a VoIP communications system that provides SIP accounts.
You can use any operating system for the PC-based server system that provides a DHCP and TFTP server. However, the following description details on a Linux system. For testing and evaluation, you may download and install virtualization software for your workstation, such as “VmWare Player” or “VirtualBox”. Within a virtual machine, you are able to operate a Linux system, for example the CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu “Live-CD” ISO files that are downloadable for free on the respective Linux vendor web sites.

2.1 Setting up DHCP / TFTP

An RFP in the factory default configuration will request the address configuration via DHCP. While it is possible to configure a fixed (non-DHCP) address for the RFPs (see chapter 7.6), this description starts with setting up a DHCP server that will answer the DHCP requests. The DHCP server will be limited to answer only DHCP requests from Aastra RFPs (sorted out by MAC address), so the new DHCP server will not disturb the operation of possibly other DHCP servers in your LAN:
Also you need at least a TFTP server that offers the firmware file for the RFP. The IP address and the firmware file download location is part of the DHCP answer, the RFP receives during start-up. By using this DHCP-provided configuration, the RFP downloads the firmware file and starts the software program that is included in the firmware file.
As stated earlier, the PC server system described here is operated by a Linux system. If you run Linux in a virtual machine, the virtual machine’s network adapter should be configured for the “Bridged Mode” which allows the virtual machine to receive/answer DHCP broadcasts on the physical Ethernet adapter.
Activating bridge mode with VirtualBox
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 13 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 2 Getting Started
Also, you need the firmware file for the RFP inside the virtual machine. You can copy via network e.g. by using SCP, FTP, SMB etc. To keep things simple, the virtual machine used in this example has a second CD-ROM that points to the hardware CD-ROM drive that in turn has the OMM-SIP installation medium inserted.
Second CD-ROM with VirtualBox
The following steps will start the virtual machine where you can configure and run the DHCP/TFP server program.
1 Start the virtual machine. The Linux desktop should be displayed after start-up. The
following screenshot depicts the situation if you start VirtualBox with a Live CD Linux (CentOS 5.5 to be precise).
CentOS LiveCD, copy files, calling up a terminal
2 On the virtual machine’s desktop, double click the OMM-SIP CD-ROM. Use drag & drop
to copy the “omm_ffsip.tftp” and “aafon6xdd.dnls” files to the Linux desktop.

Optional: if the “eth0” adapter has no IP address, you can assign the address manually.
/etc/init.d/sshd start
passwd centos
Starts the SSH service.
Set a (simple) password for the “centos” user.
iptables -F INPUT
Flush (clear) the INPUT firewall.
5 Leave the virtual machine. With VirtualBox press and release the right [Ctrl] key. With
VmWare Player press and release both the left [Ctrl] key and the left [Alt] key. You may iconize the virtual machines window now.
6 From your home desktop, start a remote terminal via SSH. Use your favorite SSH
program (e.g. the PuTTY program for Windows) and connect to the IP address of the virtual machine. Log in as “centos” user with the password entered previously. Note, that it is now possible to use the clipboard to enter new commands and configuration file statements.
7 Enter the following commands to configure and start the DHCP/TFTP service:
su -l
mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot
cd /var/lib/tftpboot
cp -v /home/centos/Desktop/* .
Starts a super user (“root”) shell.
Creates the standard TFTP directory.
Change the current directory.
Copy files here. (“omm_ffsip.tftp” and “aafon6xdd.dnls” from the CD ROM). Mind the trailing dot.
:> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Create a new and empty configuration file.
Start the “nano” text editor to change the “/etc/dnsmasq.conf” file. Adapt and paste the example configuration from below. Press [Ctrl-X] to end the text editor and confirm saving the file with the [Y] and [Return] keys.
dnsmasq -d -q
Start the DHCP/TFTP service in debug mode.
8 Connect the desired RFPs to your LAN. Establish their power supply, either by PoE or by
plugging in the external power adapters. During the RFP start-up, the SSH console windows should display debug output as displayed in the following screen shot.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 15 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 2 Getting Started
SSH console (PuTTY) with DHCP/TFTP output
DnsMasq Configuration File (/etc/dnsmasq.conf)
The following configuration example needs to be adapted to your network and RFPs. Change all lines with “192.168.112.” to match your LAN. Use a calculator (e.g. Windows “Calc”) to convert the hex values in the “openmob,43” line: 192=0xc0, 168=0xa8, 112=0x70, and 52=0x34. Also change the MAC address (here: 00:30:42:0d:10:2e) to the value printed on the backside label of the RFP that is designated as OMM.
# Disable DNS service for this dnsmasq instance port = 0
# The OMM (specific MAC used) needs a fixed IP dhcp-host = 00:30:42:0d:10:2e,net:openmob,192.168.112.52
# Set net:openmob for clients that send Vendor=='OpenMobility' dhcp-vendorclass=openmob,OpenMobility
# Ignore queries that does not send Vendor=='OpenMobility' dhcp-ignore=#openmob
# Set the firmware file name for bootp requests dhcp-boot = net:openmob,omm_ffsip.tftp
# Specify options to be send to all RFPs dhcp-option = openmob,224,"OpenMobility" # Let RFP accept our config dhcp-option = openmob,43,0a:04:c0:a8:70:34 # Hex: 192.168.112.52 is OMM dhcp-option = openmob,option:router,192.168.112.1 dhcp-option = openmob,option:dns-server,192.168.112.1 dhcp-option = openmob,option:domain-name,"mycompany.de" dhcp-option = openmob,option:ntp-server,0.0.0.0
# The 'dhcp-range' is required otherwise DNSmask does not serve DHCP dhcp-range = net:openmob,192.168.112.52,192.168.112.55,,,1h
# This dnsmasq also acts as TFTP server enable-tftp tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot
The “dhcp-range” statement may overwrite the default netmask and broadcast settings. Adapt “,,,1h”, e.g. to “255.255.255.0,192.168.112.255,1h” for this.
OMM selection
One RFP of a set needs to function as OpenMobility Manager (OMM). The configuration suggested above will select a specific RFP for this role with the “DHCP option 43”. The OMM is generally selected
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 16 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 2 Getting Started
via the DHCP request (see chapter 7.5.3.1),
within the static local configuration of an RFP (see chapter 7.6),
within the RFP configuration file of a PC-based OMM (see chapter 7.7).
The RFP which has the same IP address as the dedicated OMM IP address will be the RFP which the OMM application runs on.If two OMM IP adresses are configured, the OMM application is started on both dedicated RFPs. One OMM becomes the active OMM and the other the standby OMM. For more details about the standby feature, see chapter 7.11.

2.2 Initial Setup

After bringing up the DHCP/TFTP server and starting the RFPs, you can start a web browser and call up the web-based user interface of the OMM. Alternatively, the Java-based OpenMobility Manager (“omp.jar”) may be used. The following step-by-step description emphasizes on the OMM’s web console.
1 Start a web browser and navigate to the IP address that you have configured for the OMM
in the DHCP option 43. This will display the OMM’s login page.
Note: The browser’s communication with the OMM’s web console is secured by the
HTTPS protocol. However, since you cannot validate a numeric intranet address with a certifacte chain, you need to ignore / overwrite the web browser’s warning about invalid certificates.
2 Enter “omm” in the User name input field. Also enter “omm” in the Password input field.
Click the OK button to log in. In the factory default configuration, the OMM now displays the Info: End-user license agreement page. Read the agreement and confirm by clicking the Accept button.
OMM web console, login with “omm” / “omm”
3 On the next two pages that are displayed automatically, you need to enter new passwords
for two administrative user accounts. The first account is the “omm” user that can change the configuration. The second account can be used to call up the OMM’s command line shell via SSH. Enter passwords that contain at least lower case letters, capital letters, and digits. After changing the passwords, the web console shows the Status page.
4 Navigate to the System: System settings page. Change the PARK setting to the PARK
code that is printed on the installation CD-ROM. Also change the Regulatory domain to match your region. Confirm with OK.

Note: The RFP L32 IP / RFP L34 IP / RFP L42 WLAN devices provide a build in license as
described here. If you have purchased another license type and e.g. RFP L32 IP / RFP L34 IP / RFP L42 WLAN devices, you need to upload the license file on the
Licenses page now (see chapter 4).
5 Navigate to the Radio fixed parts page. Click the Start button to start capturing. Wait 10
seconds. Click the Radio fixed parts menu entry to refresh the display. If all expected RFPs are listed, click Stop to end capturing.

6 Click the icon next to the desired entry to add a new RFP to the OMM. The New radio
fixed part dialog opens. Enter a Name. Enable the DECT settings checkbox that assigns
the RFP to DECT cluster “1”. Confirm with OK. Repeat this step for the second RFP.
7 Navigate to the Portable parts page. Click on the New button. The New portable part
dialog opens. Enter a Name, a Number and a DECT authentication code. Confirm with
OK. Repeat this step for a second DECT portable part with a different DECT authentication code.

8 Click on the Start button below the Wildcard subscription heading. This will activate
subscription without known handset IPEIs for the next two minutes. During this period, subscribe two of your DECT handsets. Enter the configured DECT authentication code on the DECT handset during the subscription procedure (see chapter 7). After subscribing two DECT handsets make a test call from one DECT handset to the other.
9 Navigate to the System: SIP page to connect the OMM to your PBX. Enter the IP address
of your PBX in the Proxy server and Registrar server fields. In the following screen shot, an Aastra OpenCom 100 PBX with address 192.168.112.91 is used to provide the SIP PBX functions.

10 Navigate back to the Portable parts page. Click the icon next to the desired portable
part entry to open the respective Configure portable parts dialog. Change to User name and Password fields under the SIP authentication heading to the SIP account credentials configured on the PBX (see chapter 5.4.2 and chapter 5.7.1). Note, that the entered User name is sent to the PBX as “authorization username” within the SIP “REGISTER” message.
Verify the SIP registration, for example on a status display of your PBX as shown above. Place a test call from the DECT portable part to another phone attached to the PBX.
The next steps depend on your requirements and would typically include setting up a standby OMM (see chapter 7.11) or setting up the Download over Air software-update for Aastra 610d/620d/630d portable parts (see chapter 7.15).

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 3 Enhanced Feature Overview

3 Enhanced Feature Overview

An SIP – DECT system scale from a single licensed RFP up to a larger SIP – DECT system that may include hundreds of RFPs. Some of the more advanced features target larger DECT systems. You may browse the following list of features in order to get an overview and to decide if it’s relevant for your requirements. You find in-depth explanations in the referenced chapters.
Download over Air
The Aastra 610d / 620d / 630d devices are able to download and upgrade their firmware via DECT. The firmware file that has to be provided by a TFTP server is automatically distributed to all subscribed DECT portable parts by the OMM (see chapter 7.15).
OMM standby
The OMM is the central management entity in a SIP – DECT system and forms thereby single point of failure. It is possible to automatically transfer the OMM function to a second RFP device in case of failure or loss of network connection (see chapter 7.11).
DECT XQ
The DECT radio communication generally suffers from attenuation and radio wave reflection. Especially if a building’s walls and ceilings contain a higher portion of metal-based material or if larger metal surfaces are present, the DECT XQ improves the radio communication between an RFP and an Aastra 610d/620d/630d portable parts at the expense of DECT channel capacity (see 7.3). Enable this feature for some or all of your RFPs (see chapter
5.6.3, “DECT settings” or chapter 6.7.1.2, “DECT tab”).
RFP synchronization / radio coverage planning
To ensure a seamless communication experience, the SIP – DECT system switches an ongoing DECT phone call from one RFP to another if the radio communication quality drops below a certain threshold. The seamless handover is possible only if the participating RFPs are synchronized. RFP synchronization is performed via radio communication between RFPs, which in turn requires a decent radio coverage planning (see chapter 7.2).
Clustering / paging areas
Your SIP – DECT system may include different locations, where the distances between the locations prevent the RFPs from performing the over-the-air synchronization. In this case, you need to split your network into clusters (or “synchronization domains”). Assign RFPs to cluster numbers for this (see chapter 5.6.3, “DECT settings” or chapter 6.7.1.2, “DECT tab”).
If your SIP – DECT system consists of a very large number of RFPs, you should configure the paging area size to optimize the signaling necessary for paging a DECT portable part in throughout the SIP – DECT system (see 6.7.2).
Isolated sites
A separate cluster number is also required, e.g. for a single RFP servicing an office abroad. Also, if the VPN network connection to the isolated site’s RFP cannot transport DHCP, you may use static IP address configuration for the single RFP (see chapter 7.6).
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 21 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 3 Enhanced Feature Overview
Wireless LAN (WLAN)
If you purchased a number of WLAN RFPs (RFP L42 WLAN or RFP 42 WLAN), the SIP – DECT system also provides access to your company LAN via Wireless LAN. The WLAN configuration of a group of WLAN RFPs is managed by WLAN profiles (see chapter 5.8).
Locating application
You can set up a system to locate and track DECT portable parts in your DECT system. This includes a separate Web user interface, which for example can be operated by service personnel to locate a DECT portable part that has triggered an alarm. Refer to the “OpenMobility Location Application” user guide for details, see /23/.
Extended messaging
You can set up an extended messaging and alarms system, e.g. to provide automated reactions on alarms triggered by DECT portable parts or on alert messages. The extended messaging system may also provide message confirmations, message based services, and may also be integrated with external computer systems. Refer to the “OpenMobility Integrated Messaging & Alerting” user guide for details, see /24/.
OpenMobility provisioning
While some users in the SIP – DECT system will use their “personal handset”, it is also possible to operate shared handsets. The OpenMobility SIP – DECT solution provides an enhanced DECT Handset Sharing and Provisioning concept that enables to comfortably manage a large amount of DECT handsets and which provides a flexible subscribing model. With this, the SIP – DECT system supports new features such as logging in and out with a personalized user account on different DECT handsets, import of user data from an external provisioning server, automatically subscribe new DECT handsets or control subscription specific system functions from DECT handsets. Refer also to the “OpenMobility Provisioning” user guide for details see /26/.
SNMP integration / External configuration files
To integrate the SIP – DECT system into external management systems, each RFP runs an SNMP agent that can be queried by SNMP management software (see 7.14). To integrate to external configuration management systems, the DECT system’s configuration is available my means of ASCII-based configuration files. For example, you can configure automatic import or export of configuration files from/to an external server (refer also to the “OpenMobility Provisioning” user guide for details see /26/).
PC-based OMM installation
A very large number of RFPs or a large number of DECT portable parts may exceed the storage capacity or processing power of the embedded RFP device. For this reason, it is also possible to operate the OMM on a standard PC under the Linux operating system (see chapter 7.8).
System configuration tools
You can configure and maintain the SIP – DECT system with two different applications:
a web-based service (OMM Web service, see chapter 5) and
a java-based tool (OM Management Portal, OMP, see chapter 6).
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 22 (196)

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing

4 Licensing

4.1 Licensing Model

Starting with version 2.1 several features of the Open Mobility system are licensed:
the system size concerning the number of configured RFPs,
the software version running the OMM,
the messaging application, and
the locating application.
For information on the messaging and locating application please refer to the appropriate documents listed in the section 9.6 References.
There are three different license modes available for the user depending on the desired system size:
Built-in license
for small systems consisting of at most 2 RFPs,
Activated built-in license
for medium systems consisting of at most 20 L-RFPs and
Standard license
for large systems with variable system size up to 2048 RFPs (the actual number is part of the license).
Additionally the OMM can operate in a demonstration mode.

4.1.1 Latency Timer

The OMM identifies medium and large systems using the unique PARK as well as the MAC addresses of up to three RFPs (called validation RFPs here).
The number of three RFPs guarantees a redundancy when a hardware or network error occurs. On the other hand, an odd number does not allow system duplication with splitting the system into two separate parts.
OM Web service: Licenses page
When the 1st validation RFP is disconnected the OMM generates just a warning. This warning will be displayed on the Status page of the OM Web service, see also chapter 5.3.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 24 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing
OM Web service: Status page
But when the 2nd validation RFPs is disconnected, the OMM considers a license violation. In this case a latency timer of up to 72 hours starts to decrement. When the timer expires, the OMM restricts all licensed features.
When the validation RFPs are reconnected to the OMM, the latency timer is incremented until it reaches its maximum of 72 hours. In other words the latency timer must be recharged the same time as the violation last to gain the full redundancy time.

4.1.2 License Violations and Restrictions

A license can be violated in three ways:
The number of configured items exceeds the number of licensed items. In this case the
associated feature is restricted:
- the audio stream of calls is dropped after 30 seconds when the number of connected
RFPs exceeds the licensed number,
- the messaging application limits the type of messages to “info”,
- the locating feature is stopped.
The software version coded into the activation or license file does not cover the software
version running on the OMM. All of the restrictions above will be activated until either the OMM is restarted with the
correct version or the license is replaced covering the correct software version.
The OMM has no connection to at least 2 of the validation RFPs and the latency timer has
expired. All of the restrictions above will be activated until at least 2 validation RFPs are
reconnected to the OMM.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 25 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing

4.2 Uploading an Activation or License File

An activation or a license file must be purchased from the Aastra license server. The license confirmation you received contains detailed information how to generate an activation / license file. The file can be uploaded into the OMM either via Web service (see chapter 5.10) or via the OMP (see chapter 6.10).
An activation file as well as a license file contain a PARK for system identification. If the newly imported PARK differs from the current PARK, the OMM will perform a reset.
Note: The file can be opened with a text editor to view the license or activation parameter.

4.3 Demonstration Mode

When an OMM comes up for the first time, it considers itself as working in demonstration mode. In this mode all of the OMM features can be evaluated without any license for 72 hours starting with the 1
st
RFP being connected to the OMM.
Display of demonstration mode in the OM Web service
After 72 hours the OMM restricts all features as described in section 4.1.2.
The OMM stays in demonstration mode as long as the default built-in PARK is not changed. The PARK can be changed either on the System settings page as described in section
5.4.1. This leads to a small system using the built-in license. Another way to change the
PARK is to upload an activation or license file purchased from the Aastra license server (see chapter 4.1.1). This leads to a medium system or large system respectively.
Note: Multiple OMMs running the Demo license at the same location can influence each
other because of the same PARK!

4.4 License Modes

4.4.1 Built-in License (Small System)

When changing the PARK on the System settings page of the OM Web service, the OMM uses the built-in license. The built-in license features:
up to two L-RFPs
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 26 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing
- messaging restricted to type “Info”, “Low”, “Normal” and “High” for all user (no
“Emergency” and “Locating Alert”), and
- no locating.
up to two “normal” RFPs
- no messaging (except prio Info) and
- no locating.
On a small system it is prohibited to exceed the limits of license due configuration. Since there is no activation or license file present, the software version is not checked. As the system is not validated via RFPs and hence the latency timer does not play any role there are no license violations possible at all.
When there are more than 2 RFPs configured while the PARK is changed only the first two RFPs will stay in the configuration database. All other RFPs will be dropped silently.

4.4.2 Activated Built-in License (Medium System)

When the PARK is changed via the upload of an activation file, the OMM enters the activated system state. In this state the OMM uses the following license features:
up to 20 L-RFPs,
messaging restricted to type “Info”, “Low”, “Normal” and “High” for all user (no
“Emergency” and “Locating Alert”), and
no locating.
The OMM extracts the software version from the activation file and checks this against its own software version. A lower software version within the activation file leads to a license violation.
The OMM prevents a license violation due misconfiguration e.g. it is not possible to configure
st
RFP in the system.
a 21
To obtain an activation file from the Aastra license server the MAC address of 3 RFPs must be entered. These 3 validation RFPs are used to validate the activation.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 27 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing
While obtaining an activation file from the Aastra license server it is possible to enter the PARK used for a small system installation. This prevents the need to re-subscribe all handsets.
When there are more than 20 RFPs configured (in demonstration mode) while an activation file is uploaded, only the first 20 RFPs will stay in the configuration database. All other RFPs will be dropped silently.
Note: Note: When once changed via activation file upload, the PARK cannot be changed
any more on the System settings page of the OM Web service.

4.4.3 Standard License (Large System)

When the PARK is changed via the upload of a license file, the OMM enters the large system state. In this state the OMM uses the following license features coded into the license file.
System license:
- number of RFPs (L-RFPs or normal RFPs),
- software version of the OMM allowed to be executed.
Messaging license:
- number of messaging clients allowed to send messages,
- whether clients are allowed to receive messages.
Locating license:
- number of locatable handsets,
- whether the locating application is allowed to execute.
During purchase of a license file from the Aastra license server, the MAC address of 3 RFPs must be entered. These 3 validation RFPs are used to operate the latency timer as described in section 4.1.1.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 4 Licensing
When obtaining the license file from the Aastra license server, it is possible to use the PARK used for a small or medium system installation. This prevents the need to re-subscribe all handsets.
Note: Note: When once changed via activation file upload, the PARK cannot be changed
any more on the System settings page of the OM Web service.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service

5 OMM Web Service

The OMM acts as an HTTP/HTTPS server. The HTTP server binds to port 80 and HTTPS binds to port 443 by default. A HTTP request on port 80 will be redirected to HTTPS on port 443. The service access is restricted to one active session at a time and is password protected.
The browser used for service access has to be at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and must have frame support, JavaScript and cookies enabled.
Note: The service access is restricted to one active session at a time and is password
protected.

5.1 Login

The OMM allows only one user at a time to configure the system. A user must authenticate with a user name and a password. Both strings are checked case sensitive.
With initial installation or after discarding all settings, the OMM Web service is accessible via a default build-in user account with user “omm” and password “omm”.
With the first login into a new SIP – DECT SW version the user has to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA), see chapter 5.11.
If the default build-in user account is active, the administrator has to change the default account data (passwords) of the “Full access” and “root” account. Refer Initial Setup (see chapter 2.2). The meaning of the different account types is described in section 7.12.1.
Please note: The OMM will force to alter the default account data. As long as the
passwords are unchanged, the OMM will not allow any other configuration.

The System menu comprises general parameters to configure and administrate the system parameters of the SIP – DECT solution.

5.4.1 “System settings” Menu

The system settings cover global settings for the OpenMobility Manager. The following tasks can be performed:
configuring the global settings (see the following description in this section),
updating the OMM (see chapter 5.4.1.2),
restarting the OMM (see chapter 5.4.1.1).
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 32 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
The following parameters can be set:
General settings
System Name: Enter the system name.
Remote Access: Switches on/off the ssh access to all RFPs of the DECT system. For
more information on the ssh access see chapter 8.3.5.
Net parameters
To allow the prioritization of Voice Packets and/or Signaling Packets (SIP) inside the used network the IP parameter ToS (Type of Service) should be configured.
ToS for voice packets: Determines the type of service (ToS resp. DiffServ) byte of the IP
packet header for all packets that transport RTP voice streams.
ToS for signaling packets: Determines the type of service (ToS resp. DiffServ) byte of
the IP packet header for all packets related to VoIP signaling.
TTL (Time to live): Determines the maximum hop count for all IP packets.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 33 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
VLAN priority Call control: Determines the VLAN priority tag for VoIP-signaling packets.
VLAN priority Audio: Determines the VLAN priority tag for RTP packets.
DECT settings
PARK: This setting depends on the licensing mode:
Demo mode: shows the default PARK. L-RFP systems: Enter the PARK key as labeled on the OpenMobility CD. License file: shows the PARK included in the license file.
Encryption: Encryption is only available on RFP 32/34/42 products. Therefore it can only
be enabled on the System Settings web page if there are no other Aastra RFP variants connected to the OMM. If encryption is enabled and another RFP variant connects to the OMM, its DECT air interface will not be activated.
Please note: Make sure that all deployed 3rd party handsets support DECT encryption. If
not, encryption can be disabled per device (see 6.8.4).
DECT monitor: For monitoring the DECT system behavior of the OpenMobility Manager
the separate DECT monitor application exists. This tool needs an access to the OpenMobility Manager which is disabled by default and can be enabled here. Because of security, the DECT monitor flag is not stored permanently in the internal flash memory of the OMM/RFP. After a reset the DECT monitor flag is ever disabled.
Regulatory domain: To define where the IP DECT is used the parameter regulatory
domain has to be configured. Existing installations are updated to the default value
EMEA.
To setup a North American FCC compliant installation the value has to be set to
US (FCC/CI). In a North American US (FCC/CI) deployment, ETSI compliant RFPs are
made inactive and can not be activated if the regulatory domain is set to US (FCC/CI). Vice-versa is also true. Only US (FCC/CI) DECT 142 handsets may be connected to RFPs/OMM designed for the US market and configured to use the US (FCC/CI) regulatory domain.
DECT authentication code: The authentication code is used during initial PP
subscription as a security option (see chapter 5.7.1). A code entered here provides a default DECT authentication code for each new created PP. It is optional.
Integrated message and alarm server
The OpenMobility Manager provides a integrated message and alarm server, which could be activated/deactivated and configured here. For a detailed description see /24/.
Downloading new firmware to portable parts
If the Active checkbox is enabled, the “Download over Air” feature is activated. The OMM is acting as a download server which provides the firmware for downloads. For more information on this feature please refer to section 7.15.
Syslog
The OMM and the RFPs are capable of propagating syslog messages. Enable the Active checkbox if you want to use this feature. Enter the IP address and the Port of the host which should collect these messages.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 34 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
WLAN settings
This setting applies to RFPs of the type L42 WLAN. In the Regulatory domain field specify the regulatory domain of the WLAN network. This setting depends on the country and is prescribed by the laws of that country. Only the setting prescribed for that country must be used. For more information on the WLAN settings please refer to the sections 5.8 and 7.13.
Date and time
If an SNTP is configured the date and time of the configured time zone can by synchronized with the DECT 142 / Aastra 142d and 6xxd handsets. The rules for a time zone, which is shown on this web page, can be configured in the Time zones menu (see chapter 5.4.4). Select the desired zone in the Time Zone field.
Notes on System Wide SOS And ManDown Numbers
System wide SOS and ManDown numbers for SOS (142d, 620d, 630d) and sensor initiated calls (630d) can be configured within the SOS and ManDown alarm trigger settings. Please see section 6.9.3.
These numbers are used for SOS and ManDown calls if no user specific number is set.
5.4.1.1 Restarting the OMM
To restart the OMM call up the System settings web page and press Restart. There is also the option to reset the configuration data.
A reset web page is loaded then displaying a progress bar and the login web page is loaded automatically if the OMM is reachable again.
5.4.1.2 Updating the OMM
If the OMM is running on an RFP, the Update button is available on the System settings web page. After pressing the Update button, the RFP residing the OMM checks whether a new boot image file is available on the TFTP server or not. For more details about updating the OMM see the section 7.10.

5.4.2 “SIP” Menu

The SIP settings cover all global settings matching the SIP signaling and the RTP voice streams.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 36 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
The following parameters can be set:
Basic settings
Proxy server: IP address or name of the SIP proxy server. If a host name and domain are
used for the proxy server parameter, ensure that a DNS server and a domain are specified for your SIP – DECT system via DHCP or the OM Configurator tool.
Proxy port: SIP proxy server’s port number. Default is 5060. To enable DNS SRV support
for proxy lookups, use a value of “0” for the proxy port.
Registrar server: IP address or name of the SIP registrar. Enables the PPs to be
registered with a Registrar. If a host name and domain are used for the proxy server parameter, ensure that a DNS server and a domain are specified for your SIP – DECT system via DHCP or the OM Configurator tool.
Registrar port: SIP Registrar’s port number. Default is 5060. To enable DNS SRV
support for registrar lookups, use a value of 0 for the registrar port.
Registration period: The requested registration period, in seconds, from the registrar.
Default is 3600.
Advanced settings
Outbound proxy server: This setting is optional. You can enter the address of the
outbound proxy server in this field. All SIP messages originating from the OMM are sent to this server. For example, if you have a Session Border Controller in your network, then you would normally set its address here.
Outbound Proxy Port: The proxy port on the proxy server to which the OMM sends all
SIP messages. This setting is optional.
Explicit MWI subscription: Some Media Server such as the Asterisk support Message
Waiting Indication (MWI) based on /20/. An MWI icon will be presented on an Aastra DECT 142 Handset / Aastra 142d if the user has received a voice message on his voice box which is supported by the Media Server. If Explicit MWI subscription is enabled, the OMM sends explicit for each PP an MWI subscription message to the Proxy or Outbound Proxy Server.
User agent info: If this option enabled, the OMM sends information on his version inside
the SIP headers User-Agent/Server.
Dial terminator: The dial terminator is configurable (up to 2 characters; “0” – “9”, “*”, “#”
or empty). The default dial terminator is “#”.
Registration retry timer: Specifies the time, in seconds, that the OMM waits between
registration attempts when the registration is rejected by the registrar. A dial terminator is necessary if digit treatment shall be applied on outgoing calls and overlapped sending is used.
Transaction timer: The amount of time in milliseconds that the OMM allows a call server
(proxy/registrar) to respond to SIP messages that it sends. If the OMM does not receive a response in the amount of time designated for this parameter, the OMM assumes the message as timed out. In this case the call server is recorded to the blacklist. Valid values are 4000 to 64000. Default is 4000.
Determine remote party by … header: The SIP header can be selected from which the
remote party information (user id and display name) should be determined. If “P-Asserted­Identity” is selected but no such header is received a fallback to the mandatory “From or To” header will be done. This feature can be configured by choosing one of the two values:
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 37 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
- “P-Asserted-Identity” - Default Value
- “From / To”.
Multiple 180 Ringing: If this feature is deactivated, the OMM sends out only one 180
Ringing response for an incoming call if PRACK is not supported. If this feature is activated, the OMM retransmits multiple times the 180 Ringing response for an incoming call if PRACK is not supported. This ensures that the calling side receives a 180 response in case of packet losses on the network. By default this feature is active.
Blacklist time out: The amount of time in minutes an unreachable call server stays in the
blacklist. Valid values are 0 to 1440. Default is 5.
RTP settings
RTP port base: Each RFP needs a continuous port area of 68 UDP ports for RTP voice
streaming. The RTP port base is the start port number of that area. Default is 16320.
Preferred codec 1 – 5: Specifies a customized codec preference list which allows you to
use the preferred codecs. The Codec 1 has the highest and Codec 5 the lowest priority.
Preferred packet time (10 – 80 msec): Determines the length of voice samples collected
before sending out a new RTP packet. A small setting improves voice quality at the expense of data transmission overhead. Valid values are 10 to 80 milliseconds. Default is
30.
Silence suppression: Enables automatic silence detection in the RTP voice data stream
to optimize the data transfer volume.
Receiver precedence on CODEC negotiation:
- The ON (option is enabled) setting means:
The CODEC selection for incoming SDP offers based on the own preference order list. The first entry in the OMM preferred codec list matching an entry in the incoming SDP offer will be selected.
- The OFF (option is disabled) setting means:
The CODEC selection based on the preference order list of incoming SDP offer. The first entry in the incoming order list matching an entry of OMM preferred codec list will be selected. This is the default and is as recommended in RFC 3264.
Eliminate comfort noise packets: If this feature is activated then comfort noise packets
are removed from the RTP media stream which causes gaps in the sequence numbers. This can be used if comfort noise packets e.g. in G.711 media streams disturb voice calls in certain installations.
DTMF settings
Out-of-Band: Used to configure whether DTMF Out-of-Band is preferred or not.
Method: The OMM supports the following DTMF Out-of-Band methods:
- RFC 2833
Transmit DTMF as RTP events according to RFC 2833 (/14/) after the payload type negotiation via SIP/SDP. If the payload type is not negotiated, “in band” will be used automatically.
- INFO
The SIP INFO method is used to transmit DTMF tones as telephone events (application/dftmf-relay). This setting should be used if RFC 2833 is not supported.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 38 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
- BOTH
DTMF telephones events are send according to RFC 2833 and as well as SIP INFO method. Note: Possibly, the other party recognizes events twice.
Payload Type: If the Out-of-Band option is enabled, this setting specifies the payload
type which is used for sending DTMF events based on section 1.3 reference /14/.
Registration traffic shaping
Allows to limit the amount of simultaneous SIP registrations at startup/fail over of the OMM. If activated, it prevents bursts of SIP registration during startup/fail over of the OMM.
Active: The registration traffic shaping mechanism can be switched off/on herewith.
Simultaneous Registrations: The maximum number of simultaneously started
registrations.
Waiting time: The waiting time between a registration finish and starting the next
registration in ms (0-1000ms).
Notes on Call forwarding / Diversion
The handset user can (de)activate call forwarding/diversion in the OMM via menu.
In some installations the implemented call forwarding/diversion feature in the IPBX system is in conflict with the OMM based call forwarding/diversion. Thus, the OMM based call forwarding/diversion can be deactivated to let menu on the handset disappear. This setting becomes active on handsets with the next DECT “Locating Registration” process (Can be forced by switching the handset off and on again). An already activated call forwarding is ignored if the call forwarding feature is deactivated.
Notes on Local line handling
In some installations the implemented multiple line support in the IPBX system is in conflict with the OMM based multiple line support. Thus, the OMM based multiple line support can be deactivated. Note, that the OMM based multiple line support is active by default.
A deactivation of the “Local line handling” flag results in the following implications:
Only one line is handled for each user (exceptional SOS call 1)
If a user press the “R” key or hook-off key in a call active state a DTMF event is send to
the IPBX via SIP INFO including signal 16 (hook-flash). All Hook-flash events are send in every case via SIP INFO independently from the configured or negotiated DTMF method during call setup. All other key events are send via configured or negotiated DTMF method.
The OMM based call features “Call waiting”, “Call Transfer”, “Brokering” and “Hold” are
not any longer supported.
This setting becomes active on handsets with the next DECT “Locating Registration”
process (Can be forced by switching the handset off and on again).
1
The OM SOS call feature is unchanged. The initiation of a SOS call in call active state
result in the creation of a new line which handles the SOS call.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service

5.4.3 “User account” Menu

After initial installation or after removing the configuration file, the OMM Web service is accessible via a build-in user account with user “omm” and password “omm”.
If the default build-in user account is active, the administrator has to change the default account data of the “Full access” and “root” account. The meaning of the different account types is described in section 7.12.1.
Please note: The OMM will force to alter the default account data. As long as the
passwords are unchanged, the OMM will not allow any other configuration.
These settings which are case sensitive can be changed on the User Account web page.
1 Account type: Select the account type you wish to change.
2 Active: This setting applies to the Read only access account. Using this account, a user
is not allowed to configure any item of the OMM installation. The account can be deactivated.
3 User name: If desired, enter a new user name.
4 Old Password: To change the password the old password must typed in again.
5 Password, Password confirmation: Enter the appropriate data in these fields.
The OMM has several rules to check the complexity of the new password, hence a new password will not be accepted when any of this rules are violated:
– the new password is not 5 or more characters long, – the new password does not contain characters from at least 3 of the following groups:
lower case, upper case, digits or other characters, – the new password has 50% or more of the same character ('World11111' or
'W1o1r1l1d1'), or – the new password contains one of the following items (either upper or lower case as
well as forward or backward):
– account name, – host name (IP address), – old password, or
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 40 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
– some adjoining keystrokes (e.g. 'qwert').
6 Password aging: A timeout for the password can be set. Select the duration, the
password should be valid.

5.4.4 “Time zones” Menu

On the Time zones page, the OMM provides all available time zones. They are set with their known daylight savings time rules adjusted to the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) per default. The difference to the UTC time is shown in the UTC Difference column. In case of a configured daylight savings time rule (DST column) this is also marked for each time zone.
The date and time will be provided by the OMM to the Aastra DECT 142 / Aastra 142d and 6xxd handsets if the handset initiates a DECT location registration. This will be done in the following cases:
subscribing at the OMM,
entering the network again after the DECT signal was lost,
power on,
silent charging feature is active at the phone and the phone is taken out of the charger,
after a specific time to update date and time.
The following tasks can be performed on the Time zones page:
changing the time zones (see chapter 5.4.4.1),
resetting time zones (see chapter 5.4.4.2).
5.4.4.1 Changing Time Zones
It is possible to change the time zone rules for maximal five time zones. Changed rules are marked with a bold time zone name in the table. The changes are saved in the configuration file and are restored after each OpenMobility Manager startup.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 41 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
1 To change the settings of a time zone, click on the icon left behind the time zone entry.
The “Configure Time Zone” dialog opens.
2 You can change the standard time and the daylight savings time (DST) of a time zone. If
the time zone has no DST, only the UTC difference can be configured. For the DST both points of time (begin of standard time and begin of daylight savings time) have to be specified exactly. Therefore a certain day in the month or a certain week day in a month can be used. See the following screenshot as an example:
5.4.4.2 Resetting Time Zones
To reset individual time zone settings, press the Default button on the Time zone web page. This sets all time zones back to the default values and deletes the changed time zone rules in the configuration file.

5.4.5 “SNMP” Menu

To manage a larger RFP network, an SNMP agent is provided for each RFP. This will give alarm information and allow an SNMP management system (such as “HP Open View”) to manage this network. On the SNMP page of the OMM Web service you configure the SNMP service settings.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 42 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
The following parameters can be configured using the OMM web service:
General settings
Read-only community: The SNMP community strings forms a password that is sent by
the SNMP management system when querying devices. The query is answered only if the SNMP community string matches. You may use “public” as a default keyword for read­only access.
System contact: Enter a descriptive text that typically is displayed in the SNMP
management software.
Trap handling
Activate the checkbox behind the Trap Handling section to enable this feature.
Trap community: This community string is used if the SNMP agent informs the SNMP
management system about events (Traps).
Trap host IP address: Enter the IP Address that the SNMP agent uses to send traps.
Further notes
The RFP needs an initial (one-time) OMM connection to receive its SNMP configuration.
In case of a reset, this configuration does not change. Changing the SNMP configuration on the OMM forces all agents to be reconfigured.
The agent does not support MIB-II write access, SNMPv2-MIB read/write access, NET-
SNMP-MIB read/write access, NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB read/write access and SNMPv3.
For background information on using SNMP with the SIP – DECT system please refer to
section 7.14.

5.4.6 “DB management” Menu

The database management (DB management) allows a flexible backup and restore management of the OMM database. The OMM database contains all configuration settings which are configurable via the OMM Web service interface.
The OMM database can be
manually imported from the Web browser’s file system or from an external server (see
chapter 5.4.6.1),
automatically imported from an external server (see chapter 5.4.6.2),
manually exported to the Web browser’s file system or to an external server (see chapter
5.4.6.3),
automatically exported to an external server when configuration modifications are done
(see chapter 5.4.6.4).
Note: The OMM database will be saved in a compressed file in a proprietary format. Any
modification of this file outside the OMM is not allowed.
The following protocols for the transport to or from an external server are supported: FTP, TFTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 43 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
5.4.6.1 Manual Database Import
Please note: A manual import of a database leads to a reset of the OMM to take effect.
In the Manual import section of the DB management page enter the following:
1 Protocol:
– To import a database from the Web browser’s file system the protocol FILE has to be selected.
– To import a database from an external server select the preferred protocol (e.g. HTTP).
2 Server: Enter the IP address or the name of the external server.
3 User name, Password (in case of import from an external server): If necessary, enter the
account data of the server.
4 File: Enter the path and file name which include the OMM database. In case of import
from the Web browser’s file system you can use the Browse button to select the file from the file system.
5 Press the Load button.
Before the OMM accepts the database, a validation check is performed. If the database is verified as valid, the OMM will be reset to activate the new database.
Note: After the reset all configurations of the restored database are taken effect but not the
user account settings. The user account settings can be only modified locally via the OMM Web service (see chapter 5.4.3) and will never be restored by an database import.
5.4.6.2 Automatic Database Import
The automatic database import feature makes it easier to restore a prepared OMM database into an OMM for an initial configuration or for update reasons.
Please note: An automatic import of a database leads to a reset of the OMM to take effect.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 44 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
In the Automatic import section of the DB management page enter the following:
1 Startup only: Activate this option if the import should be started for an initial configuration.
2 Startup and periodically: If this option is activated, the OMM tries to import the
configured database file during startup and at the configured time of day.
3 Time: Enter the time, the import should be started.
Please note: An automatic database import at a configured time recommends the time
synchronization with an NTP server. For NTP server configuration see chapter
7.5.4 and chapter 7.6.
1 URL: The database file for an automatic import has to be configured in an URL format like
{ftp|ftps|http|https}://[[user:password@]server]/[directory/]file or tftp://server]/[directory/]file.To be available at OMM startup time and to allow an initial
configuration via automatic import, this URL has to be specified via DHCP (option 24, see chapter 7.5.4) or OM Configurator (see chapter 7.6). If such a URL is given by DHCP or OM Configurator, the OMM tries to import a configured database file automatically during the OMM startup. The file URL configured via DHCP or OM Configurator is always displayed.
2 Click OK to confirm the settings for the automatic import.
Before a database is accepted and replaced by automatic import process, the OMM performs the following checks:
The integrity of the file must be OK.
To avoid the import of the same file multiple times, the checksum of the new database file
and the checksum of the last database import file (stored in the flash) must be different.
For authorization/authentication reasons:
The PARK of the new database file must be the same to the PARK of the current configuration.
The admin/full access account (see also section 7.12.1) of the new database file must be
the same to the one of the current configuration.Only if all of these checks are successful
the database file is accepted.
If the database file is not accepted or was not found, an error message is displayed on the
Status page of the OMM Web service.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 45 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
The automatic OMM database import allows to change all configuration settings but not the account settings and the PARK. There is only one exception: changing the default user account and the PARK for an initial configuration is possible. After the initial configuration, the user account settings and PARK can only be changed via the Web service on the target OMM itself.
5.4.6.3 Manual Database Export
In the Manual export section of the DB management page enter the following:
1 Protocol: Select the preferred protocol. If you want to export the database to the Web
browser’s file system, select the FILE setting.
2 Server: Enter the IP address or the name of the server.
3 User name, Password: If necessary, enter the account data of the server.
4 File: Enter the path and filename where the database is to be saved.
5 Press the Save button.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 46 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
5.4.6.4 Automatic Database Export
The automatic database export feature allows an automatic database backup to an external server for each configuration modification.
If this feature is activated, the OMM transfers a backup file to a configured external server any time configuration changes occur, e.g. handset subscription. If there is no configuration change, then no backup will be done. A backup file will be overwritten during a day if there is more than one modification. A new file will be created when this first change occurs at the day.
Please note: For an automatic database export a time synchronization with an NTP server
is mandatory. For NTP server configuration see chapter 7.5.4 and chapter 7.6.
In the Automatic export section of the DB management page enter the following:
1 Active: Activate this option to enable the automatic export feature.
2 Protocol: Select the preferred protocol.
3 Server: Enter the IP address or the name of the server.
4 User name, Password: If necessary, enter the account data of the server.
5 File: Enter the path and filename where the database is to be saved.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
You can select a sorting criterion for the RFP table. In the Sorted by field, select the criterion:
DECT clusters: The RFPs are sorted by clusters. All used clusters are displayed in the
navigation bar on the left side and the OMM RFP of each cluster is marked with a bold font.
WLAN profiles: The RFPs are sorted by WLAN profile (see chapter 5.8).
Sites: The RFPs are sorted by sites (see chapter 5.5). All used sites are displayed in the
navigation bar on the left side and the OMM RFP of each site is marked with a bold font.
The table provides information on all configured RFPs and their status in several columns:
ID: An internal number that is used to manage the RFP.
Location: Indicates the RFP's location (see chapter 5.5).
MAC address: Indicates the RFP's MAC address (see chapter 5.5).
IP address: Shows the current IP address of the RFP. The IP address may change over
time by using dynamic IP assignment on the DHCP server.
HW type: When the RFPs are connecting the OMM they, submit their HW type. This type
is displayed on the RFP list web page. If an error message is indicated in this column, there is a mismatch between the RFP and the OMM SW version (see chapter 5.6.2).
Site: Indicates the site the RFP is assigned to (see chapter 5.5).
RPN: Shows the Radio Fixed Part Number that is currently used by the RFP.
Reflective environment: Indicates if this RFP is operated in a reflective environment (see
chapter 5.6.3).
Connected: Indicates if the RFP is connected to the OMM (see chapter 5.6.1).
Active: Indicates if the RFP is active (see chapter 5.6.1).
The following tasks can be performed on the Radio fixed parts page:
creating and changing RFPs (see chapter 5.6.3),

5.6.1 States of an RFP

For each RFP the state of the DECT subsystem is displayed. These states are:
Synchronous
The RFP is up and running. The RFP recognizes and is recognized by other RFPs in its cluster through its air interface and delivers a synchronous clock signal to the PPs.
Asynchronous
The RFP has not been able to synchronize to its neighbors yet. No DECT communication is possible. But nevertheless the RFP has already been able to connect to the OMM. This phase should usually last only for a few seconds after starting up the RFP or the OMM. If this state lasts longer this is an indication for a hardware or network failure.
Searching
The RFP has lost synchronization to its neighbors. No DECT communication is possible. This phase should usually last only for a few seconds after starting up the RFP or the OMM. If this state lasts longer or is re-entered after being in a synchronous state this is an indication for a bad location of the RFP.
Inactive
The RFP has connected to the OMM but the air interface has not been switched on yet. For any RFP with activated DECT functionality this phase should last only for a few seconds after starting up the RFP. If this state lasts longer this may indicate a hardware failure.
Not connected
The RFP was configured but has not connected to the OMM yet. Therefore the IP address column is empty.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 51 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
SW Update available
The RFP is connected to the OMM. On the TFTP server has found a new software. The RFP is waiting that the OMM initiates a reboot. In the meantime is the RFP full operational.

5.6.2 OMM / RFP SW Version Check

When the RFPs are connecting the OMM they submit their SW version. If this version differs from the OMM SW version and the versions are incompatible the RFP connection attempt is rejected. This could happen when using several TFTP servers with different OpenMobility SW versions. In this case the RFP is marked with an error message. Moreover a global error message is displayed on the RFP list web page if at least one version mismatch has been found.

5.6.3 Creating and Changing RFPs

1 To configure a new RFP press the New button on the Radio fixed parts page.
To change the configuration of an existing RFP click on the entry.
The New radio fixed part resp. the Configure radio fixed part dialog opens.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 52 (196)
icon left behind the RFP
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
2 Configure the RFP, see parameter description below.
3 Press the OK button.
The following parameters can be set in the New radio fixed part resp. the Configure radio
fixed part dialog:
General settings
MAC address: Each RFP is identified by its unique MAC address (6 bytes hex format,
colon separated). Enter the MAC address, it can be found on the back of the chassis.
Location: For easier administration each RFP can be associated with a location string.
The location string can hold up to 20 characters.
Site: If several sites exist (see chapter 5.5), select the site the RFP is assigned to.
DECT settings
The DECT functionality for each RFP can be switched on/off.
Cluster: If DECT is active the RFP can be assigned to a cluster.
Preferred synchronization source: Activate this checkbox if the RFP should be used as
synchronization source for the other RFPs in the cluster. For background information on RFP synchronization please refer to chapter 7.2.
Reflective environment: Within areas containing lot of reflective surfaces (e.g. metal or
metal coated glass) in an open space environment the voice quality of a DECT call can be disturbed because of signal reflections which arrive on the handset or RFP using multipath propagation. Calls may have permanent drop outs while moving and high error rates on the RFPs and handsets.
For such environment Aastra has developed the DECT XQ enhancement into base stations (RFP 32 IP, 34 IP, 42 WLAN) and the Aastra 600d handsets family. Using this enhancement by switching the Reflective environment flag on might reduce drop outs and cracking noise.
As soon as Reflective environment is switched on, the number of calls on an RFP 32 IP / 34 IP / 42 WLAN is reduced to 4 calls at the same time.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 53 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
Please note: The RFPs and handsets use more bandwidth on the Air Interfaces if the
“Reflective environment“ is switched on. Therefore this shall only be used when problems sourced by metal reflections are detected.
WLAN settings
The WLAN section applies to RFPs of the type “RFP 42 WLAN” and “RFP L42 WLAN” only. For details about WLAN configurations please see chapter 7.13.
Activation check box: Enables or disables the WLAN function for this RFP.
WLAN profile: Select the desired profile from the list. This applies all settings made in the
respective WLAN profile to the current RFP. For information on configuring WLAN profiles see chapter 5.8.1.
The following settings are not applied by the WLAN profile. Configure these settings for each RFP individually.
Antenna diversity: This option should generally be activated so that the AP (Access
Point) can automatically select the antenna with the best transmission and reception characteristics.
Antenna: If Antenna diversity is switched off, this setting determines the antenna that is
used for transmitting or receiving WLAN data.
802.11b/g channel: Determines the WLAN channel used by the current RPF. The
channel numbers available are determined by the WLAN Regulatory domain setting on the System settings page (see 5.4.1).
Output power level (default: “Full”): Determines the signal power level used by the RFP
to send WLAN data. You may limit the power level to minimize interferences with other WLAN devices. The actual power level is also capped by the WLAN Regulatory domain setting on the System settings page.
Please note: An RFP which is configured as OMM cannot simultaneously operate as a
WLAN Access Point.

SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
DECT authentication code: The DECT authentication code is used during initial DECT
subscription as an security option and can be set here for each PP separately. If a global DECT authentication code is given on the System settings page (see chapter 5.4.1), this value is filled in here as default. This parameter is optional.
Additional ID: The additional ID can be used as a mean for data search within wildcard
subscription (because of the IPEI is not configured which selects the data otherwise).
Note: The authentication code and additional ID can only be changed if the PP is not
subscribed.
Delete subscription: This option is only available when configuring an existing PP (in the
Configure portable part dialog). If this option is selected, the PP will be unsubscribed.
SOS number, Man down number: SOS and Man down are calling numbers which will be
automatically called as soon as an SOS or Man down event happens. If no individual SOS or Man down number is configured for a handset the number of the appropriate alarm trigger will be used as calling number in case of a SOS or Man down event. Please see chapter 6.9.3 and /25/ for details.
SIP authentication
User name: The SIP Authentication user name is optional but recommended. It
represents the name which will be used during SIP registration and authentication. If no name is given the number will be used by default.

5.7.3 Subscribing PPs

Preparation by OMM Web service
After adding a PP configuration to the OMM, the PP must be subscribed. The OMM must first be enabled to allow subscriptions to be take place from PP handsets. This is done by pressing the following buttons on the Portable Parts OMM web page.
Start button of the Subscription with configured IPEIs section (see chapter 5.7.3.1).
This button enables the subscription for the next 24 hours. or
Start button and time interval of the Wildcard Subscription section (see chapter 5.7.3.2).
This button enables the “wildcard subscription” for the selected time. After expiry the “subscription with configured IPEIs” is still enabled for 24 hours.
Note: To ease the first installation of a DECT system, the subscription is enabled
permanently while at least one PP (with IPEI) is set up within the database and no PP is subscribed. After successful subscription of the first PP the subscription will still be enabled for 24 hours.
Note: To allow an unbound device subscription, the Auto-create on subscription flag
must be set with the help of the OM Management Portal (OMP). Please see chapter
6.5.1 for details.
Subscription steps, done by PP
After the PP configuration is complete on the OMM and the OMM is allowing new subscriptions, each PP must subscribe to the system.
On each PP handset, the administrator or user must subscribe to the SIP – DECT system through the System/Subscriptions menu. The specific PARK code for the SIP – DECT system should be entered in order to subscribe to the system.
Please note: The PARK code in numeric format can be found at the top-right corner of the
Portable Parts OMM web page. Each SIP – DECT deployment will have a unique PARK code that was provided with the OMM Activation kit.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 61 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
If the administrator configured a global or individual Portable Part DECT authentication code, the administrator/user must enter in the code before the PP will subscribe to the system.
In case of “wildcard subscription”, please note that an additional ID may be configured (see sub section Wildcard Subscription), which has to be typed then.
If administrators/users have any difficulties subscribing to the SIP – DECT system, it is recommended that they power-off the PP handset and reattempt subscription again. This completes the subscription process for a PP on the SIP – DECT system.
5.7.3.1 Subscription with Configured IPEI
The PP data to be assigned to the subscribing PP are identified by the IPEI. Furthermore the IPEI leads to a further guarantee not to receive none authorized subscriptions even if AC is not set as a mean to achieve security.
To enable subscriptions, press the Start button of the section Subscription with configured
IPEIs on the Portable parts page.
The OMM will allow a subscription of configured but not subscribed PPs during the next hour only. The administrator must press the Subscribe button again to permit more PP handsets to subscribe to the SIP – DECT system.
5.7.3.2 Wildcard Subscription
To minimize administration effort, subscription is also possible, if the IPEI is not configured. But because of the loss of further security by IPEI check, this kind of subscription is only allowed within a short default time interval of 2 minutes.
To enable subscriptions, press the Start button of the section Wildcard subscription on the
Portable parts page. If necessary, increase the time interval (or refresh subscription
permission in time).
The OMM will allow a wildcard subscription during the set time interval. In case of timeout the permission is lost. Only subscription with IPEI remains allowed within the fixed limit of one hour (see chapter before).
To achieve a selection of data during subscription (e.g. the user name being assigned to the PP), the field “additional ID” can be set in OMM data. If the OMM receives a valid “additional ID” during subscription, the referring data are assigned to the PP.
If the additional ID is requested for a data record, the PP user has to type it. “Additional ID” can be set within the authentication code menu. Please type the R-Key and type the additional ID.
Please note: The input of the additional ID is only possible with Aastra DECT 142 / Aastra
142d and 6xxd. There is no possibility to type that value on third party GAP phones. If GAP phones are going to subscribe wildcard, the first free PP data record without any additional ID will be selected and assigned.

5.7.5 Searching within the PP List

To search for a certain handset in the PP list, the search function can be used which allows to find a handset by a given number or IPEI.
1 On the Portable parts page click on the Search button.
The Search portable parts dialog opens.
2 Enter the handset’s number or IPEI. At least one parameter has to be set. The entered
number or IPEI has to match exactly with a handset’s number or IPEI. If number and IPEI are given then a handset has to exist in the OMM’s database whose number and IPEI match both otherwise the search fails.
If a handset with the specified number and/or IPEI was found, a list is displayed which has this handset as the first entry. The search function can also be used to get to the right sub list in one step.

5.8 “WLAN” Menu

The WLAN menu allows you to manage the wireless LAN function of all WLAN capable RFPs that are connected to the OMM. You can view and change wireless parameters and security settings to adapt the WLAN configuration to suit your needs. You can also check how many and which wireless clients are currently connected. Nevertheless, the WLAN function is only available for devices of the type RFP L42. Note also, that you cannot activate the WLAN function for the OMM, even if the OMM device is an RFP L42.
For a detailed description on WLAN configuration please refer to the section 7.13.

5.8.1 “WLAN profiles” Menu

WLAN settings are grouped in WLAN profiles. You need at least one WLAN profile that can be assigned to one or more WLAN-RFPs. Of course, you can define more that one WLAN profile. You can manage / change the desired WLAN settings for a group of WLAN-RFPs by changing their assigned WLAN profiles. Moreover, you can manage different settings, for example separate WLAN profiles for different buildings, a special WLAN profile for temporary use, or WLAN profile for RFPs only useable by guests.
The WLAN profiles menu allows to configure and administrate these WLAN profiles. The following tasks can be performed:
Creating and changing WLAN profiles (see chapter 5.8.1.1),
Deleting WLAN profiles (see chapter 5.8.1.2).
The defined WLAN profiles are then assigned to one or more WLAN RFPs (see chapter
5.8.2). Note, that some device-specific WLAN settings are not part of a WLAN profile, such
as the channel and the antenna configuration. These settings are defined separately for each RFP (see chapter 5.6.3).
5.8.1.1 Creating and Changing WLAN Profiles
You need at least one active WLAN profile in order to operate the WLAN function for an RFP L42 device.
1 Navigate to the WLAN profiles page. This page shows the number of existing WLAN
profiles and a list of available WLAN profiles.

3 Change the desired settings of the WLAN profile. You need at last to define the ESSID
setting. The different settings are explained in detail in the sections below.
4 Activate the Profile active setting, otherwise the WLAN profile is inactive which de-
activates the WLAN function for RFPs that are assigned to this WLAN profile.
5 Press the OK button to apply the settings. If you created a new WLAN profile, you can
proceed by assigning the WLAN profile to the desired RFPs (see chapter 5.6.3). If you changed an existing WLAN profile, the settings are applied to the assigned RFPs automatically.
The following description details the different parameters that are available on the New
WLAN profile page resp. on the WLAN profile [Number] page.
General settings
Profile active: Activate this checkbox to activate the profile. This in turn activates the
WLAN function for all RFPs that are assigned to the WLAN profile.
SSID: Enter a descriptive character string to identify the WLAN network (e.g.
“OurCompany”).The service set identifier is broadcasted by the RFP within “WLAN beacons” in a regularly interval. The SSID identifies the WLAN network and is visible by all WLAN clients. This is typically used with a scan function, e.g. from a WLAN client that tries to establish a connection. The SSID should not exceed 32 characters and it is advisable not to use unusual characters that may trigger WLAN client software bugs.
VLAN tag (number, 1..4094, default: off): You can separate VoIP and client data traffic
(transferred via WLAN) by using different virtual LANs, e.g. to prevent bulk data transfers to interfere with VoIP. To use a separate VLAN for the client data traffic, activate the check box and enter the desired VLAN number (see chapters 7.13 and 7.8).
Beacon period (milliseconds, 50..65535, default: 100 ms): Determines the WLAN beacon
interval. A higher value can save some WLAN airtime that can be used for data transfers.
DTIM period (number, 1..255, default: 5): Determines the number of beacons between
DTIM messages. These messages manage the WLAN wakeup/sleep function e.g. that is critical for battery powered WLAN clients.
RTS threshold (bytes, 0..4096, default: 2346): If a WLAN packet exceeds this threshold,
it will be transferred with RTS/CTS handshake. This may improve transfer reliability if several WLANs share the same channel. The default of 2346 byte switches off this function because the IP-MTU is typically only 1500 byte.
Fragmentation threshold (bytes, 0..4096, default: 2346): If a WLAN packet exceeds this
threshold, it will be transferred in chunks. This may improve transfer reliability for a weak connection. The default of 2346 bytes switches off this function because the IP-MTU is typically only 1500 byte.
Maximum rate (list of rates in Mbps, 1..54, default: 54): Determines the maximum transfer
rate used by the RFP. You can limit the rate to increase the WLAN range, e.g. to prevent WLAN clients in the vicinity of the RFP to disturb distant WLAN clients.
802.11b/g mode (selection, Mixed / b-only / g-only, default: Mixed): Both the older and
long-ranged B-Mode and the newer and faster G-Mode are typically supported by WLAN clients. You can change this setting to prevent problems with very old WLAN clients.
Hidden SSID mode (on / off, default: off): If switched on, the transmission of the SSID
within beacons is suppressed. This in turn requires a more elaborate and manual connection procedure for WLAN clients.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 67 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
Interference avoidance (on / off, default: off): Enables a WLAN procedure to enhance
radio interference avoidance.
Security settings
These settings determine the encryption used for the WLAN connection. Select one of the four modes (Open, WEP, WPA, or Radius). This will activate / gray-out the necessary additional input fields that specify further security settings on the WLAN profile page.
Open system: Enable this option to deactivate authentication and encryption (“Internet
Café mode”). Note, that all data is transferred un-encrypted in this mode, which can be easily eavesdropped with any WLAN equipment.
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP): Enable this option to use the older WEP encryption
mode. This mode may be useful, e.g. if your WLAN should support older WLAN clients that do not implement the recommended WPA encryption.
- Privacy (on / off, default: off): De-activate this setting to use no authentication (“Open
System”) with standard WEP encryption. Activate this setting to use an additional shared key authentication between the RFP and the WLAN client.
- Number of tx keys (number, 1..4, default: 1): The WEP encryption can use a single
shared key or multiple shared keys (“key rotation”). Select the number of shared keys, select how to enter a shared key (by default as Text or as Hex value), and select the
Cipher length (see Key settings below).
- Default tx key (number, 1..4, default: 1): If more than one shared keys is used, you can
select the default shared key. You need to configure the same default key on the WLAN client.
- Key #1Key #4: Enter one or more shared key. The Cipher length setting (see Key
settings below) determines the length of the required input. If you selected to enter as
Text (see above), input a password with 5, 13, or 29 characters that matches a 64, 128,
or 256 bit cipher. If you selected to enter as Hex value, you can input a hexadecimal number with 10, 26, or 58 characters (0-9, a-f). Press the Generate button to generate a random shared key that matches the current settings.
WiFi protected access (WPA): Enable this option to use the recommended WPA
encryption mode.
- Type (selection, WPA any / WPA v.1 / WPA v.2, default: WPA any): Select the WPA
version required for WLAN clients. The WPA any setting allows WPA v.1 and WPA v.2 to be used concurrently. The WPA v.1 setting enforces the use of the older RC4-based encryption. The WPA v.2 setting enforce the use of the stronger AES encryption. You can also change the distribution interval (see Key settings below).
- 802.1x (Radius): Select this option if your WLAN should use a RADIUS server for
WLAN client authentication (“Enterprise WPA” with different username/password combinations per client). You also need to specify the Radius settings (see below). For details about the RADIUS authentication procedure, using the public keys, and importing certificates to the WLAN clients refer to the documentation of your RADIUS server product.
- Pre-shared key: Select this option to use a single shared key for all WLAN clients
(Value setting below). A WLAN client user needs to enter the shared key in order to connect.
depl-1230/1.3 Page: 68 (196)
SIP – DECT OM System Manual Release 2.1 5 OMM Web Service
- Value: You can enter a shared key as Text. Use a longer text sequence with
alphanumeric characters and special characters to enhance the shared key strength. A text shared key is case sensitive. Alternatively, the shared key can be entered as Hex
value (hexadecimal number, 0-9, a-f). Press the Generate button to generate a random
shared key that matches the current settings.
802.1x (Radius): Enable this option to use the RADIUS authentication without the
stronger WPA encryption. You also need to specify the Radius settings and you may adapt the Key settings (see below).
MAC access filters (on / off, default: off): You can limit WLAN access for WLAN clients
with specified MAC addresses. Note, that without encryption this should not be used for security reasons. Press the Configure button to enter a list of MAC addresses that are allowed to connect.
BSS isolation (on / off, default: off): In a standard WLAN setup, each WLAN client can
contact other WLAN clients. For special purposes (e.g. “Internet café setup”), you may switch on this options to protect WLAN clients from eavesdropping on other WLAN clients.
Key settings
Cipher length (selection, 64 Bits / 128 Bits / 256 Bits, default: 64 Bits): Determines the
key length used for the WEP encryption. Larger bit sequences provide better security but may be unsupported by very old WLAN clients.

6.7.1.2 Adding New RFPs
Adding new RFPs is only possible in configuration mode. To add an RFP to the list of known RFP proceed as follows:
1 In the task bar on the right of the Radio fixed parts panel click on the Create command.
The New RFP panel opens. It provides various tabs where the RFP data has to be entered, see chapter 6.7.1.1.
2 Configure the RFP, see parameter description below.
3 Press the OK button.
The following parameters can be set in the tabs of the New RFP panel:
“General” tab
Name: The a name for the RFP.
MAC address: Each RFP is identified by its unique MAC address (6 bytes hex format,
colon separated). Enter the MAC address, it can be found on the back of the chassis.
Site: If several sites exist (see chapter 6.6), select the site the RFP is assigned to.
Building, Floor: For easier localization of the RFP you can enter data in these fields.
“DECT” tab
DECT activated: The DECT functionality for each RFP can be switched on/off.
DECT cluster: If DECT is active the RFP can be assigned to a cluster.
Paging area: Enter the paging area, the RFP is assigned to.
Note: The Paging area size is set in the DECT tab of the System settings menu (see
chapter 6.5.1). The assignment between RFPs and paging areas can be changed in the Paging areas menu (see chapter 6.7.1.8).
Preferred synchronization source: Activate this checkbox if the RFP should be used as
synchronization source for the other RFPs in the cluster. For background information on RFP synchronization please refer to chapter 7.2.
Reflective environment: Within areas containing lot of reflective surfaces (e.g. metal or
metal coated glass) in an open space environment the voice quality of a DECT call can be disturbed because of signal reflections which arrive on the handset or RFP using multipath propagation. Calls may have permanent drop outs while moving and high error rates on the RFPs and handsets.
For such environment Aastra has developed the DECT XQ enhancement into base stations (RFP 32 IP, 34 IP, 42 WLAN) and the Aastra 600d handsets family. Using this enhancement by switching the Reflective environment flag on might reduce drop outs and cracking noise.
As soon as Reflective environment is switched on, the number of calls on an RFP 32 IP / 34 IP / 42 WLAN is reduced to 4 calls at the same time.
Please note: The RFPs and handsets use more bandwidth on the Air Interfaces if the
“Reflective environment“ is switched on. Therefore this shall only be used when problems sourced by metal reflections are detected.
