DECT System Overview and Requirements
The DECT system provides the Business Communications Manager with the ability to connect
cordless telephones to the system for use withi n the local area.
There are specific Business Communications Manager profiles that can use this equipment. Refer
to “Checking the System Region” on page 19. Other profiles are for countries that have other
technology for this purpose.
Warning: Do not attempt to change a region setting on an active system. This can cause
the system to reset and los e data.
This chapter describes the DECT syst em compone nts and provides an overview of the installation
process. It also inc ludes instructions for ensuring that your Business Communications Manager is
set to the correct profile to accept and work with the DECT equipment.
Deployment and site pre p ar ation details are pro v ided in a separate document. This chapter
provides a brief overview of this task, as well as the specifications for the components.
17
Finally, the chap te r provides an o verview of sys tem operat ions. This includes the load required on
the Business Communication s Manager and general commands you require to w or k on the DECT
interface.
Figure 1 shows a gr aphic representation of the components of the system.

base stations mak e up a cell.
Each base station can support up to four simultaneous calls. The radio base
stations al so offer antenna diversity.
Use the site survey to determine the number of base stations required to
cover the area. Refer to “DECT Base Station Depl oyment Planning” on page
22.
Each handset provides the user with telephon y features remote fro m th e lan d
set.
This book contains only the registrati on ope rations for t he set . Refer to the
user manuals that came with your handset for op erational det ails.
Up to 32 handsets can be assigned to each DECT system.
• The cordless handsets are identified with DNs in the Unified Manager. They can be assigned
answer DNs to link them wi th stationary sets.
• The numbering plan and call rou ti ng defined in the Business Communications manager must
agree with the entries in the DECT interface.
Business Communications Manager Requirements
The DECT system only w orks wi th a Busines s Communica tions Manager syste m that has be en set
to a compatible regions. Confirm that this has been done before you attempt to install the system.
Regions are discussed in the Business Communications Manager 2.5 Programming Operations
Guide.
This book describes the handset dir ec tor y number (DN) system based on the default setup, where
the Start DN is 221 and the DN length is three digits. If your sys tem has a different DN structure,
use the tables provided to translate the DNs listed to match those of your system.
P0937236 02.1
Page 19
Chapter 1 DECT System Overview and Requirements 19
Examples of DN structures:
If your Start DN is 221 but you require a five-digit DN, the system auto ma tically creates a Start
DN of 22221 w hen you specify a five-digit DN at startup.
If your Start DN needs to start with a specific number, change the Start DN after you specify the
DN length at startup. For instance, if your Business Communications Manager is part of a CDP
(Coordinated Dialing Plan) network with fi ve-digit DNs, your system must have a unique fi rs t DN
digit, so you would specify the exact Start DN, in this case, something like 31111.
Checking the System Region
If you experience problems installing DECT on your system, check the region for which the
system is set.
Note: DECT systems can be installed in countries that can run the following region
profiles: UK, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Italy, Germany, Spain,
Switzerland, France, Global, Hong Kong.
Refer to the Business Communications Manag er 2.5 Pro gramming Operations Guide
appendices for the chapter that lists all the regions.
Caution: You must select a region that reflects the geographical location of the
Business Communications Manager.
If you choose the wrong region, the Business Communications Manager system does
not communicate correctly with the Public Switched Telephone Network.
This procedure describes how to ensure that the Business Communications Manager is set to the
correct region for the DECT module.
1 Open the Unified Manager for your Business Communications Manager system.
2 On the navigation tree, click Diagnostics/MSC.
3 On the top menu, click on Configuration.
4 Click System startup.
5 Ensure that the Region box displays t he correct regio n. If not, select a region fr om the list.
Note: When you select a new region, the Template box is disabled. You must

DECT Base Station Deployment Planning
The DECT base stations must be deployed to provide full site cov erage with the maximum traffic
capacity, using the minimum number of base stations.
There are two t as ks involved in arranging this:
• Surveying the site: the site survey involves gathering info rmation to determine customer
requirements and the number of cells needed to support the traf fic.
• Planning deployme nt: deployment plans est abl ish the best locati ons for the radio base st ations.
Site surveying and deployment planning are complex tasks, undertaken only by trained personnel.
Refer to the M6261DECT Deployment Tool and site planning guide for detailed Site planning and
deployment.

The ISDN interface in the DECT media bay module enables the base stations to be powered
through the cable conn ect ion between the DECT and the b ase st ation. The remote powe r s upply is
limited to 100 mA on the DECT interface, which corr esponds to an available power of 4 W at 48V.
The radio base station can also be powered using a local a.c./d.c. mains power supply unit,
PN 840 B. Use a local supply unit for no more than two radio base stations in any given cell.
Description of the Connection
DECT base stations connect to DECT media bay modules using a cable containing two twisted
pairs. This cable connects to RJ45 connectors on the components. The co nnection at the DECT
position corresponds to an equipment number on the two cards on the DECT module that control
the base station interaction. If you assign specific base stations to equipment numbers, you must
ensure that base station is connected to the appropriate RJ45 jack on the DECT module.

Access is authorized by matchin g the PARI number and the PARK number registered in the Other
multi-site configurations.
DECT Call Paths
The DECT module provides a telephony path separate from the Business Communication
Manager system. This means there are three possible paths for a call to take.

• A DECT handset-to-Business Communications Manag er set call is routed from the calling
handset, into the C8, and into the Business Communications Manager. The Business
Communications Manager then routes the call through the appropri ate station module to the
receiving set.
• A DECT handset-to-external call is routed from the calling handset, into the C8, and into the
Business Communication s Manager. The Business Communications Manager then routes the
call through the appropriate trunk module out to the public network. This is the same route a
call from a DECT handset to a set on a private network wou ld use. The difference is that the
user enters a different destination code.
• If a DECT handset transfers a cal l, the DECT C8 processes the transfer and crea tes a new call
destination. The call remains routed through the C8, even though the DECT handset is no
longer in volved in the call.

Setting up the Handsets
How you want to use the DECT handset will determine how you set up the handset DN record.
This section describes t he wa ys the handsets can be used.
Detailed configuration information is contained in the Business Communi cations Manager 2.5
Pro gramming Operat ions Guide.
The DECT cordless handsets e ither ca n be set to r ing in ta ndem with a st ationary set, or conf i gured
to act as stand-alone sets. As well, the handsets can be configured as target lines to accept direct
inward dial (DID ) calls.
This following sections explain the Unified Manager settings required for each type of scenario.
Stand-alone Handset
A stand-alone set can be configured to only receive calls, or to both send and receive calls
internally or externally.
Internal Calls
The DECT interface comes with a set of default DNs. After the handsets are registered to these
DNs, and the DNs are activated, the handsets can be used to make calls between sets.
After the DECT handset DNs are added to the Unified Mana ger, the handsets can be used to make
and receive calls internal to the Unified Manager system.
External Calls
The handset can be configured to have full send and receive capability to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN), or, by using a target line, can be configured to receive calls only.
Assigning routes or lines
The Unified Manager automatically assigns all DNs with the default Pool A. This automatically
allows call s thr oug h this l ine p ool. Thi s li ne pool can be deleted, and other po ols added , depend ing
on your requirements.

Ensure that you have a complete deployment and site plan before you start.
Installing Base Station Hardware
This section describes how to install the base station hardware.
Use only qualified personnel to install or maintain the DECT radio base stations.
Special Considerations
There are a number of considerations you need to take into account before you install a base
station:
49
• Base stations must be positioned exactly where indicated on the site mapping plan. Any
changes can affect transmission and reception.
• Avoid installing base stations on metall ic surfaces or load - b ear ing walls made of reinforc ed
concrete. If a metallic surface cannot be avoided, use a 50- to 80-cm extension bracket. Metal
can impair transmission and reception.
• Place the base statio ns less than four meters from the grou nd. This m a kes it easier to maintain
the base station and ensures correct radio coverage. Do not place stations lower than two
meters.
• Do not inst all the base st ation behind obstructi ons , such as false ceilin gs.
• Always hang the base station in a vertical position.
• Leave at least 30 to 50 cm between co-located base stations.
• Install outdoors base stations in sealed cabinets.
• Leak-tight cabinets (reference DECT052) let you install DECT radio base stations outdoors
without an external antenna. A mounting kit (referenc e DECT055) lets you secur e the lea k
tight cabinet to a pole.
Note: Two base stations positioned side by side increase the channel capacity
from four to eight possible simultaneous calls. Tandem base stations must be
placed exactly 85 cm fr om each other. They also must be part of the same cell and
trunk gr oup.
• If you are using external an tennas, refer to “Base Station Antennas” on page 54.

Follow these steps to properly attach the base station to the wall.
1 Locate the base stations according to the site survey and deployment information.
Position the base st at ions at the ex act point determined by the deployment sur v ey. Moving the
base station by one or two meters can harm transmission and reception.
Ground yourself with an antistat ic grounding strap bef ore performing
procedures inside the base station housing
2 Slide the cover of the base station upwards, then pull it away from the back panel. Figure 15
shows the base station without the cover.

Screw holes on base station
3 Screw the back panel of the radio base station to the wall.
• Use two 3.5 x 25 mm wood screws with rawplug s. Inser t the screws through the two hol es
located at the top end of the back plane of the base station.
• Install base stations vertically. Provide the required 5 cm (2-in.) clearance around the
module for subsequen t maintenance operations, as necessary.

2 At either end, connect the two twisted pairs to the center four pins in an RJ45 jack.
You can use one of the following auxiliary equipment to make disconnection easier:
— install a wall mounted RJ45 female connector and use a 10-cm long RJ45 ribbon cable
— wire a long RJ45 male connector to directly connect the cable to the base station.
The wire is a four-pair symmetrical, 6/10 shielded cable, series 278 or L122. Or you can use a
category five cer tified cable, suc h as ATT cable P/N CPC 06. All cables must comply with
ISO/CEI standard 1180 1.
3 Thread the cable through the upper cutout in the radio base station.
a Make the following measurements if you use existing cables:
Crosstalk at 100 khz (to detect pair mismat c h and to c h eck transmission performance )
Near-end crosstalk at not less than 60 dB
Attenuation at 10 khz (alpha < 6 dB)
Loop resist ance (R loop = R terminat ion + R cable)
4 If you use e xtern al ant ennas, a ttac h the ca ble s as des cribe d in “Attaching External Antennas to
the Base Station” on page 55.
Note: Do not use an a.c. adaptor to connect the base station to a local power source unless
power cannot be adequate ly pro vide d throug h the Busi ness Communi catio ns Manager ca ble .
5 Slide the cover back onto the back panel of the base station.
6 If your DECT module has been configured, you can now connect the base stations to the
DECT module.
If the DECT module has not yet been configured, refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Module,” on page 37 before you continue.

Connecting the Base Station to the System
After the DECT module has been installed in the Business Communications Manager, and has
been identified and configured, you can plug the base station cables into the DECT module. This
section describes the steps for correctly installing one or more base stations.
Note: This procedure should also be followed if the base station cables have been
removed during maintenance procedures on the Business Communications Manager or
the DECT module.
Checking the Base Station Wiring
Before you connect the bas e stat ions an d the DECT module, che ck the wi ring an d connect ors wit h
the tests desc ribed below.
• The base station re quires an individually-scr eened p aired ca ble f or the connec tion b etwe en the
station and the DECT module.
• Check the cabling between the DECT media bay modules and the base stations for continuity
and match.
These checks must be executed. Verify results for all connecting pairs before connecting the
base station to the modul e.
• Check the RJ45 connector at the base stations and on the DECT module.
• Use impedance tests on the cable and base station assembly to trace the wires.
The transmission and reception pairs measurements must match.
• Record the va lue mea sured for the trans missio n pair an d deduc t the dist ance be tween t he ra dio
base station and the DECT media bay module, using the information in Table 9

Attaching the Base Station to the Module
There is a specific order and timing to connecting the base station to the DECT module. This
section describes how to perform this process.
1 When the conf iguration is complete, connect the base station cables to the RJ45 jacks on the
DECT media bay module. Refer to Figure 16.
Connect the cables sequentially, one at a time, waiting for each base station to begin the
start-up phase before you connect the next base station cable.
Note: These RJ45 jacks correspond with the equipment numbers assigned to each base
station on the DECT module. Refer to “Card Management” on page 73.
Refer to “Checking the Base Station Wiring” on page 52 for wiring information.

The base station has firmware in stall ed at the fa ctory. The DECT module checks this f i rmw are
load on startup and compares the version to what is on the module. If the versions differ, the
DECT module automatically do wnl oads the ne wer firmware to the base station dur ing sta rtup.
This process takes several minutes.
Note: When you plug the base station into the port on the DECT module, the
programming for that port is automatically assigned to the base station.

Base Station Antennas
The base station comes with two internal antennas. However, you can remove these and connect
the base station to one or two external antennas.
• Internal antennas: The base station has two quarter-wave antennas for diversity. The system
automatically selects the best one.
• External antennas: Use a kit t o add an ext ernal ante nna. Where only one ante nna is used, you
can override the diversity function through the user interface.
The Business Communications Manager 2.5 Installation and Maintenance Guide provides
details about e x ternal installation and regulati ons.

• make and receive calls from the handset, within the range of the system the handset is
subscribed to as an indep endent set
• transfer and conference calls fro m and to the handset
Note: This featu re uses two of the availa ble eight lines per DECT when the handset is the
primary and the other two calls are non-DECT calls.
• display an internal caller by name, and an external caller by number or name, depending on
how the external line is set up.
• query the voice mail system using the mail extension or the Message Waiting button
• call forward calls, and to cancel call forward, to another set, to voice mail, or to an external
number
• determine when a call gets forwarded: all calls, on busy, or if call is not answered
P0937236 02.1

• make a second call while a call is in progress
• shuttle between two calls
• roam between DECT cells (handset-specific)
• call waiting in dication if a ca ll is received while the handset is busy on another call.
Note: The thir d call into a co rdless h andset rec ei ves a bu sy tone, dependi ng on the type of
call (internal/external), the type of line, and the DND on busy setting. If the portable user
cannot be loca ted, call capture ru le s apply.
Note: Refer to the Busi ne ss Communi cat i ons Manager 2.5 Programming and Operations
Guide to configure these features for each handset DN.
Message Waiting Indicator (MWI)
DECT handsets have the ability to access mailboxes for both internal, stand-alone systems, and
external voice mail systems accessed over a private network.
To initialize and set up the connection, you must directly dial the voice mail system through the
handset and set up or change the account as required. Your voice mail admi nistrator provides the
number and your account access.
Programming the MWI Lamp Button
When a message occurs for a handset, the MWI lamp on the handset lights.
This button must be programmed with the voice mail access code so the user can press the button
and be automatically c onnected t o the v oice mai l system. The voi ce mail f ield must be set to *65 to
allow the MWI feat u re (*65) to work.
To set up the feature, on the handset:
• Go to Menu/Personalize/VoiceMail/VoiceMail Nr and enter *65.
• Go to Menu/Personalize/VoiceMail/Access Nr and ensure that the field is blank.
When all messages have been retrieved, the MWI button lamp goes off . The user then presses the
MWI button again to release the call and the user hears a reorder tone.
CallPilot Programming
If CallPilot is the voice mail system being used, ensure that the administrator includes the handset
DN as the alternate DN for the desk set with which the DECT handset is twinned.
If the DECT handset is being used as a stand-alone set, then the CallPilot set up is the same as for
any other Busi nes s Communications Manager set.

Auto-answer Issues
(security issue)
If your handset is set to Auto-Answer, you can be opening yourself to se cu ri ty issues. If your
cordless DECT handset is set to Auto-Answer, your handset opens the line to the caller, whether
you activate the handset or not. This occurs even if your voicema il is set to automatically go to
voice mail after a number of unanswered rings,
Refer to your handset documentation for the steps required to turn Auto-Answer off on any
handsets wh ere this fea ture can be a concern.
Roaming
Roaming allows the DECT cordless handset to hook on to an authorized radio base station that
provides the bes t poss ible signal.
Note: This feature is only available to
A handset can also turn to idl e (standard st atus: detache d). In this stat e it is considere d non-located.
When the handset m akes a call, it automa tical ly returns t o the locat e d status.
Whenever an attempt is made to call a non-located handset, the call:
• forwards to th e prime set fo r the li ne, if declared (recommended soluti on)
• receives a busy tone if no prime set is assigned
When the handset is turned on, DECT cordless handset scans the radio-frequency spectrum and
measures the signals transmitted by various base station s in the area . I f the handset receives a
stronger signal du ri ng oper ation , the hand set pr ocess es the info rmatio n (R FPI, SARI list , etc.) sent
by the prevailing radio base station. It checks if it can hook on to it, which depends on access
rights.
The follo wi ng occurs:
• If the access is permitted, the hands et compares the radio base station RFPI to the LAL value,
which is generated upon registration. It uses this calculation to determine if the radio base
station belongs to a new roaming area (cell).
• If the comparison indicates that the location area has changed (with no communication
established), the handset sends a roaming request to the radio base station. If the radio base
station accepts, the hands et remains synchronized to thi s base station for on-going analysis of
the signalling channel (cell selection). At this stage, the handset is attached to this radio base
station.

With a com m unication established, the beh avior of a handset is similar. It initializes an external
hand-over in order to keep the communication established when the radio base station changes.
Note: I n case of access re strict ions, the DECT module ca n refuse a cell ch ange. If
so, the hand set waits a certain ti me before making new at tempts.
Roaming on Outgoing Calls
Roaming is acti vated from the handset.
A handset sends a request for roaming to the DECT module in the following circumstances:
• when the registration procedure completes
• whenever the handset is turned on
• when external hand-over occurs
• whenever the handset changes cells
The handset uses the exc hange protocol on the radio int erface to understand th at the stronger
signal it is now connecting to belongs to a roaming zone. Further, the signal indicates it is a
different base station from the one the handset was attached to.
The DECT module updates its routing tabl es and sto res the (site-based) number of the cel l
occupied by this handset.
Direct Inward Roaming
Incoming calls route to this handset when its site and cell numbers are specified.

Programming DECT Module Defaults
Use the DECT Configuration Wizard to set up the DECT module. However, if you need to check
any of the DECT module paramete rs after the initial con figuration of the module, yo u can go to
individual records on the module to check or change settings. For instance, you might want to
assign a new password.
This chapter describes the DECT interface menus that define the basi c system parameters for the
DECT module. A new DECT module comes with a set of defaults. Use these menus to check that
the defaults are set correctly for your system or adjust the settings, as required.
