DECT Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication
● The standard (ETS 300 175) essentially specifies the
air interface, known as the radio interface. Voice and
data can both be transmitted via this interface.
● Its key technical characteristics are:
- Frequency range: approx. 1,880 – 1,900 GHz
(approx. 20 MHz bandwidth)
- 10 carrier frequencies (1,728 MHz spacing) with 12
time slots each *)
- Doubling the number of time slots (to 24) using the
TDMA process
- Net data rate per channel of 32 kbit/s (for voice
transmission using ADPCM)
- Voice coding using the ADPCM method
- Maximum transmission power of 10 mW
GAP Generic Access Profile
● GAP is the abbreviation for Generic Access Profile
● The GAP standard (ETS 300 444) is based on the
same technology as DECT, but is limited to the most
important basic features. This standard was created in
order to allow telephones of different vendors to be
used on any type of DECT system. It thus represents
the smallest common denominator of all
manufacturer-specific variants of the DECT standard.
● An important limitation in the GAP standard is that
external handover is not possible. For this reason
connection handover is used, which is supported by
GAP terminals.
● The operation of GAP-capable telephones is
comparable to that of analogue terminals. For e xample,
features can be called up via ‘*’ and ‘#’ procedures.
Handover Handover
A handover is similar to roaming, but occurs during an
ongoing call. A handover normally takes place ”in the
background,” without disrupting the call (seamless handover).

IPEI International Portable Equipment Identity
● 13-digit identification code for telephones
● Example: 00019 0592015 3 (the final digit is the
checksum).
● The code is represented in decimal form.
● This code is globally unique.
PARK Portable Access Rights Key
Access code for the handset. This code determines whether a
telephone can access a particular DECT system. Used for
unique selection of the system at enrolment.
Handover DECT base station networking
While in motion, the telephone performs ongoing
measurements to determine which base station is best
received. The one that can be best received is defined as the
active base station. To prevent the telephone from rapidly
switching back and forth between two base stations that can
be almost equally well received, certain threshold values are
in effect. (similar to a Schmitt trigger circuit )

Introduction
About the IP DECT base stations
All IP DECT base stations have the same hardware and software capabilities.
One of the IP DECT base stations within an IP DECT installation may be chose n to opera te not
in the IP DECT base station only mode but in the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM)
mode. During installation, you will set one of the IP DECT base stations to ADMM mode, or you
will use a dedicated LINUX server running as an ADMM. The others are in the IP DECT base
station only mode.
IP DECT base station only mode:
Within that mode, the IP DECT base station converts IP protocol to DECT protocol and then
transmits the traffic to and from the Handsets over a DECT timeslot. On air the IP DECT base
station has 12 time slots, eight can have associated DSP resources for media streams, the
remaining four time slots are used for example for control signalling between IP DECT base
stations and the Handsets or for bearer handover.
Groups of IP DECT base stations have to be built which are named Cluste r. Within a Cluster IP
DECT base stations are synchronised to enable a seamless hand over when a user crosses
from one IP DECT base station’s zone of coverage to another. For synchronisation it is not
necessary for an IP DECT base station to communicate directly with all other IP DECT base
stations in the system. Each IP DECT base station only needs to be able to communicate with
the next IP DECT base station in the chain. But it is preferable for an IP DECT base station to
see more than one IP DECT base station to guarantee synchronisation in the event that one of
the IP DECT base stations fails.
The four control signalling channels are also used to carry bearer signals that signal the
Handset to start the hand over process. If the radio signal of another IP DECT base station is
stronger than that of the current IP DECT base station, then the Handset starts the hand over
process to the IP DECT base station that has the stronger signal as the user moves around the
site.
Avaya IP DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM) mode:
In this mode, an IP DECT base station functions as a regular IP DECT base station. Additionally
it is responsible for H.323 signalling between the IP DECT system and the telephony or media
server. Further on it takes management part of the IP-DECT solution. You designate an IP
DECT base station as the ADMM by assigning an IP address to the IP DECT base st ation in the

Introduction
IP signalling and media stream
To establish a call between an IP Phone and an DECT handset, the following IP streams must
be established:
● a signalling channel to and from the IP phone
● a signalling channel to and from the ADMM
● a control interface between the ADMM and the IP DECT base station that has a
connection to the DECT handset (known as the primary IP DECT base station)
a Real Time Protocol (RTP) / Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) connection between the IP
Phone and the Media Gateway and then a RTP/RTCP connection between the Me dia Gateway
and the IP DECT base station.The following figure illustrates this scenario.

To establish a call between two DECT handsets the same IP streams must be established like
in the scenario before, except the IP phone is not involved. The following figure illustrates this
scenario.

A call from one DECT handset to another that resides on the same IP DECT base station will
loop back within the IP DECT base station, if no Media gateway is involved. So the call will not
pass through to the local area network (LAN). Although the voice packets will not impact LAN
traffic, signal packets will.
It is also be possible to direct the media stream to connect directly the IP phone and the IP
DECT base station, as shown in the following figures.
Issue 1 August 2006 15

Introduction
If the DECT handset user is moving, the handset detects that anot her IP DECT base station has
a better signal strength and, therefore, it starts the hand over process. The media stream from
the IP Phone cannot move to the secondary IP DECT base station, so the primary IP DECT
base station uses the LAN to direct the voice to the secondary IP DECT base station, as shown
in the following figure.

IP DECT base station Synchronisation
As the DECT set user moves into the next IP DECT base station zone of coverage, the DECT
set detects that the IP DECT base station has a better signal strength. Ag ain, the media stream
from the IP phone cannot move to the secondary IP DECT base station, so the primary IP
DECT base station uses the LAN to direct the voice to the new secondary IP DECT base
station.

IP DECT base station Synchronisation
To guarantee a seamless hand over if a caller moves from one IP DECT base station zone of
coverage to another IP DECT base station zone of coverage, an accurate synchronisation of
the IP DECT base stations is necessary.
The IP DECT base stations are synchronised over the air interface. During start-up, one IP
DECT base station will be the first, which transmits a signal on the air. The other IP DECT base
stations only receiving the signal until their are synchronous. If a IP DECT base station gets in
synch then it will transmit a signal on the air and will be the synch source for the next IP DECT
base stations. Only IP DECT base stations which can receive each other will be synchronised.

For the IP DECT base station to sync to another IP DECT base station the signal strength
cannot drop below –70 dBm. You must consider this requirement during the site survey.
Issue 1 August 2006 17
Page 18
Introduction
The first active IP DECT base station will be chosen by the ADMM as the Master for the
synchronisation. If a specific IP DECT base station shall be used, for example to speed-up the
synchronisation phase, then a IP DECT base station can be marked with ‘Act as Master during
startup’ on the IP DECT base station Web page.

As long as a IP DECT base station is not in synch, no calls can be established using this IP
DECT base station.
If a IP DECT base station loses the synchronisation the IP DECT base station does not accept
new calls ("Busy-Bit"). There is a delay of max. 3 minutes until the active calls on this IP DECT
base station are finished. Then it tries to get synchronised again.
18 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 19
IP DECT base station Synchronisation
An IP DECT installation is more reliable if a IP DECT base station can receive the signal from
more than only one IP DECT base station, because the other signals are also used for
synchronisation.

The synch-over-air solution is very reliable, because all existing redundant paths are used for
synchronisation. Thus, hardware tolerances have only very little influence. No IP DECT base
station has a key position. Example: If the Initial Master does not start up, another IP DECT
base station will be chosen by the ADMM.
Only unfavourable setups without redundant synchronisation paths can cause problems.
Sometimes IP DECT base stations do not need to be synchronized, e.g. if they are in different
buildings. These IP DECT base stations can be put into different clusters. IP DECT base
stations in different clusters will not be synchronised with each other. Different cluster start up
independent at the same time.
Issue 1 August 2006 19

Introduction
IP DECT base station channel capacity
The IP DECT base station has 12 available airtime slots:
● eight can have associated DSP resource for media streams
● the remaining four time slots are used for example for control signalling b etween IP DECT
base stations and the Handsets or for bearer handover
If all eight Media Stream channels are used IP DECT announces a ‘Busy Bit’. In that case the
DECT sets determine whether another IP DECT base station has an appropriate signal
strength. If so, the DECT set will hand over to that IP DECT base station. Once the hand over
has been completed, the IP DECT base station will then lower its Busy Bit.
When ever the busy state is announced a log entry is made to the system logs. If the
announcement of Busy raises in a specific area, a further IP DECT base station should be
installed to double the number of media streams available for calls.
About the Handsets
There are two models of Handsets: the Avaya 3711 and the Avaya 3701. A detailed description
of the two phones an their local features is available with Avaya 3711 User Guide and Avaya
3701 User Guide.

About Licensing
The ADMM needs to be enabled with a license key, which depends on the MAC address of
some IP DECT base stations in the DECT system. The license key needs to be entered /
administered via the ADMM web administration interface.
There are a sets of licenses with additional upgrade licenses .
● License for 1 IP DECT base station
● License for 2 IP DECT base stations
● License for 3 to 5 IP DECT base stations
● License for more than 5 IP DECT base stations
As mentioned above the license key depends on the MAC addresses of some IP DECT base
stations of the DECT system (License-IP DECT base stations). Each IP DECT base station can
be an License-IP DECT base station independently where the IP DECT base station is located.
The number of IP DECT base station MAC addresses encoded in the license depends on the
size of the DECT installation.

Additionally to the MAC addresses the PARK (Portable Access Rights Key), which identifies the
DECT installation, is also by part of the license. Because a DECT system can only be operated
with a valid PARK, a DECT installation without a license will be inactive on the DECT site.
An IP DECT system is operational, if it set up with a license and the IP DECT base stations,
which are encoded in the license are part of the system so that the ADMM can communicate
with these License-IP DECT base stations.

System Capacities
There is only one Avaya DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM) in the system. The capacities are
depending on the platform, the ADMM is running on.
Number of License-IP DECT base
stations available at minimum
ADMM running on a IP DECT base station:
● up to 256 IP DECT base stations can be controlled
● up to 400 handsets are handled
● up to 100 handsets can be active simultaneously
It is possible to deactivate the DECT part of a IP DECT base station. If the DECT Interface is
deactivated then the resources (CPU and memory) are available for the ADMM only.
ADMM running on a Linux Server:
● up to 256 IP DECT base stations can be controlled
● up to 16.320 handsets are handled
● up to 1500 handsets can be active simultaneously (theoretical maximum is 2048 but this is
not practical because of handovers)

Chapter 3: Installation and Configuration
To establish and maintain a IP DECT installation, a network infrastructure is assumed, which
comprises at least the following components:
● IP DECT base stations, IP DECT handsets and ACM Media Server
● a Redhat Enterprise 4.0 ES Linux Server, if it is decided not to run the Avaya DECT
Mobility Manager on a IP DECT base station
● a TFTP Server
Depending on the operational modes the following services should be provided:
● DHCP
● SNTP
● DNS
● WML/HTTP
● LDAP
● Syslog daemon
Avaya IP DECT system start up
Startup of the IP DECT base stations
For booting an IP DECT base station there must at least a TFTP-Server on the attached
network to load the application software.
The essential network settings can be given alternatively
● given by a DHCP Server at startup time.
● can be configured on the IP DECT base station with the tool OM-Configurator. The
settings made by OM-Configurator will be saved permanently in the internal flash memory.
The IP DECT base station gets the boot image file from a TFTP server. The used TFTP server
needs to support RFC 1350, The TFTP Protocol (Revision 2), July 1992.
The used DHCP server needs to support RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol,
March 1997.
The TFTP and DHCP server need not to reside on the same host.
Issue 1 August 2006 23
Page 24
Installation and Configuration
Booting Overview
Booting can be in two steps:
● Starting the boot process
● Starting the application
Booter:
The IP DECT base station has only a little standalone application built into the flash. This
software realises the so called NETBOOT process.
On start up each IP DECT base station try to determine its own IP address and other settings of
the IP interface from the configuration settings in the internal flash memory. When no settings
are available or these settings are disabled, the IP DECT base station try to determine this
settings via DHCP.
The IP DECT base station gets the application image file from the TFTP server.
Application:
After starting the application image the IP DECT base station checks the local network settings
in his internal flash memory once again. When no settings are available or they are disabled it
starts a DHCP client to determine the IP address of the ADMM and other start up settings.
Startup of Avaya IP DECT Mobility Manager
ADMM in IP DECT base station mode
There is no difference in booting that IP DECT base station, which is chosen to be running in
ADMM mode from those which are in the IP DECT base station only mode.
The decision is driven by the ADMM IP address, which is read:
● within the local network settings, if active.
● via DHCP request.
That IP DECT base station which has the same IP address as the ADMM IP address, is running
as the ADMM.
ADMM in Host-Mode
In this case the ADMM Software has to be installed on PC running with Linux Red Hat. The
essential network settings the ADMM is working with are depending on the configuration of the
PC Kernel.
24 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 25
Once started, the ADMM is running permanently while not stopped and when ever the PC is
running. In case of fatal errors or PC reboot, the OM recovers automatically.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be sure that the versions of the ADMM and the IP DECT base station software
within your IP DECT installation are the same.
Installing the ADMM software
The ADMM software is available as a Red Hat Package File (RPM). You have to login as root
user, if you are going to install the ADMM.
● For first installation of the ADMM type: rpm –i
omm_avaya-<version-date>.i586.rpm.
● To ugrade the ADMM by a new version type: rpm –U
omm_avaya-<version-date>.i586.rpm.
● To delete the ADMM installation type: rpm –e omm_avaya.
● If you like to verify the installation type rpm –qi omm_avaya.
Avaya IP DECT system start up
After the install procedure you can start the ADMM with the command:
/etc/init.d/omm_avaya start
Configure Start Parameter
Some basic data for initializing the ADMM are stored in the file "/etc/sysconfig/omm_avaya”. It
has to be edited, if you like to change the interface of the ADMM :
##############################################
# OMM configuration file
##############################################
# if you use a different interface for omm_avaya activate parameter below
#OMM_IF="eth0"
OMM_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/omm_conf.txt"
Parameter Description
OMM-IF Interface for communication with IP DECT base station’s (default:eth0)
OMM_CONFIG_FILE Configuration file for ADMM (default: /etc/omm_conf.txt)
Issue 1 August 2006 25
Page 26
Installation and Configuration
To maintain the running ADMM on PC
The ADMM is installed as a daemon and runs automatically at system start.
You can start and stop the ADMM on a shell as user root with the command:
/etc/init.d/omm_avaya [start|stop|restart]
You can log to the ADMM command line interface via telnet on port 8107.
T roubleshooting:
● To verify if the ADMM is running look at process table (ps –e) for the process omm_avaya.
● If the ADMM does not start, delete the lock file: "/var/lock/subsys/omm_avaya”.
● To delete ADMM configuration remove the OMM_CONFIG_FILE (default: /etc/
omm_conf.txt).
Booter
Booter versions
This documentation referring to IP DECT for Avaya is written for the Booter SW 3.2.x.
But note, in test installations there may be some different versions of the booter SW in use:
● Booter version 2.1.y
This software is using BOOTP instead of DHCP.
● Booter version 3.0.x
Replacement of the BOOTP client by a DHCP client.
● Booter version 3.1.x
Added support for VLAN.
● Booter version 3.2.x
added support for OpenMobility Configuration tool.
See Booter update
DHCP client
Within the initial boot process the DHCP client supports the following parameters:
● IP Address mandatory
● Netmask mandatory
on page 29 for details on the booter update mechanism.
● Gateway mandatory
● Boot file name mandatory
26 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 27
● TFTP server mandatory
● Public Option 224: "OpenMobility” mandatory
● Public Option 225: VLAN ID optional
Note:
Note: If local configuration via OM Configurator is set, these information will be read
from internal flash memory instead.
DHCP REQUEST
Vendor class identifier (code 60)
The DHCP client sends the vendor class identifier "OpenMobility”.
Parameter request list (code 55)
The DHCP client in the booter requests the following options in the parameter request list:
● Subnet mask option (code 1)
Avaya IP DECT system start up
● Router option (code 3)
● Public option 224 (code 224)
● Public option 225 (code 225)
● Public option 226 (code 226)
DHCP OFFER
Mandatory options
The DHCP client selects the DHCP server according to the following rules:
● One of the public options (code 224 up to code 254) has a value equal to the string
"OpenMobility”. It is recommended to use public option 224 for this, because the DHCP
client in the application checks for this option.
OR
● the file field in the DHCP message has a sub string equal to "ip_rfp.cnt”
If none of the two rules above match the DHCP offer is ignored.
Information retrieved from the DHCP OFFER:
● the IP address to use is taken from the yiaddr field in the DHCP message
● the IP netmask is taken from the subnet mask option (code 1)
● the default gateway is taken from the router option (code 3)
Issue 1 August 2006 27
Page 28
Installation and Configuration
● the TFTP server IP address is taken from the siaddr field in the DHCP message
● the boot image filename is taken from the file field in the DHCP message, if this field is
empty the default filename "iprfp.bin” is used.
Optional options
● Public option 225 (code 225) with a length of 2 byte is interpreted as VLAN ID.
If this option is present the booter will start over with releasing the current lease and
issuing a new DHCP REQUEST, now using VLAN.
Retries
If the DHCP client does not get an appropriate DHCP OFFER a new DHCP REQUEST is send
after 1 second. After 3 DHCP REQUESTS are send the DHCP client will sleep for 60 seconds.
During this time the booter will accept local configuration from the OpenMobility Configurator
tool.
TFTP client
The TFTP client will download the application image from the TFTP server. Both TFTP server
and the name of the application image are supplied via the DHCP client. The ap plication image
is checksum protected.
Application
After successfully downloading and starting the application the IP DECT base station will
determine the IP-address of the ADMM from DHCP.
The DHCP client is capable to receive broadcast and unicast DHCP replies. The flags field is
therefore 0x0000.
The DHCP request contains the well-known magic cookie (0x63825363) and the End Option
(0xFF).
The following parameters will be supported within this step:
● Public Option 226: ADMM IP Address mandatory
● Public Option 227: Syslog server IP Address optional
● Public Option 228: Syslog server port optional
● DHCP Option 6: Domain Name Server optional
● DHCP Option 15: Domain Name optional
● DHCP Option 42: Network Time Protocol Server optional

Booter update
Automatic booter update
Each application SW comes with the latest released booter SW. The applicat ion SW will update
the booter automatically as long as the major release number of the booter SW has not
changed, e.g booter SW 2.1.2 will not be automatically updated by booter SW 3.x.y, but booter
SW 3.0.0 will be automatically updated by booter SW 3.1.0.

Details on how to check the booter SW version, see Booter
Details on how to update the booter manually, see Manual Update of the IP DECT base station
Booter on page 80.
Automatic booter update for major release changes
The booter update of booters with major release number change will be performed
automatically when the DHCP client in the application receives an DHCP OFFER with the
public option 254 with a value "UPDATE".
Selecting the right DHCP Server
The DHCP client request its own IP address using code 50. The DHCP client will selects the
DHCP server that offers the currently used IP address. Additionally the mandatory options must
be offered otherwise the DHCP OFFER is ignored by the DHCP client.
If no matching reply was received the DHCP client resends the request for 2 times after 1
second. Then the DHCP client will wait for 1 minute before resending 3 requests again.
If the DHCP client cannot accept an DHCP offer within 3 minutes the IP DECT base station is
rebooted.

Static local configuration of the IP DECT base station
For static local configuration you must use the Java configuration tool: OpenMobility
Configurator (need Java Runtime Environment version 1.4 or higher).
The settings, which are configured on the IP DECT base station with the tool OM-Configurator,
will be saved permanently in the internal flash memory of a IP DECT base station.
The parameters configurable via the OM Configurator comply with the DHCP option, please see
section Avaya IP DECT system start up
If local static configuration has been done, DHCP is not used anymore.
The following figure shows the OM Configurator.

802.1Q Support
The IP DECT base stations support VLANs according to IEEE 802.1Q.
VLAN can be administered:
1. on a per port basis of the LAN switch assuming that the IP DECT base stations are
connected to a single port of a switched Ethernet environment
2. or by advising a VLAN ID to the IP DECT base station respective to the VLAN they should
operating in.
VLAN tagging has only to set to IP DECT base station in case (b). The whole chapter refers to
that case.
The benefit of VLAN tagging by IP DECT base station is to set 802.1p priority within Ethernet
frames (how to set Quality of Service, see IP Regions
The scope of the following description is only the VLAN tagging and obtaining the VLAN ID.
Quality of Service mechanisms like 802.1p priority and DiffServe are not in the scope of this
section.
802.1Q Support
on page 49).
VLAN implementation notes referring to IP DECT base stations:
● IP DECT base stations are not be able to support VLAN ID 0 as described later in this
section (see Why not VLAN ID 0
● If 802.1Q tagging is enabled and a VLAN ID is configured all traffic from an IP DECT base
on page 36). Any other valid VLAN ID can be configured.
station will be tagged with this VLAN ID.
● Once a VLAN ID is set to the IP DECT base station, incoming frames are only accepted if
they are tagged as well. Therefore the switch port has to be configured as tagged trunk for
this VLAN.
● The VLAN configurations can be done using DHCP or the interface for the local static
configuration via OM Configurator.
● The usage of VLAN does influence the boot up process of the IP DECT base station
because the VLAN configuration takes place during the boot up phase (re ferring to start up
with VLAN see VLAN and the Boot Phase of a IP DECT base station

If the ADMM is running on an IP DECT base station the VLAN ID configured for the IP DECT
base station is used for the ADMM.
Issue 1 August 2006 35
Page 36
Installation and Configuration
ADMM running on a Linux Server
The ADMM running on a dedicated LINUX server requires IP 802.1p support of the server or
will use static QoS administration in the Ethernet switch, so that the ADMM signalling traffic is in
the voice VLAN.
Principles and Parameter
The default is not to tag the traffic. 802.1Q tagging is enabled if the VLAN ID is set. The
configuration of the VLAN ID can be done using
● DHCP Public option 225
● by local static configuration of the IP DECT base station via OM Configurator.
If no VLAN ID is set 802.1Q is disabled.
Why not VLAN ID 0
VLAN ID 0 means that the IP DECT base station’s traffic belongs on the port/native VLAN. The
Ethernet switch port to which the IP DECT base station is connected must be configured to
accept 802.1Q tagging for this to work, and the switch must interpret VLAN ID 0 as the port/
native VLAN ID, per the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
The packets from the IP DECT base st ation are t agged with VLAN ID 0 and the packet s send to
the IP DECT base station are tagged with the port/native VLAN ID. This scenario does not
work, because the IP DECT base station supports only one VLAN ID in both directions.
That means the VLAN ID in receive direction has to be the same like in send direction.
VLAN and the Boot Phase of a IP DECT base station
DHCP
Because the base station does not know any VLAN during the beginning of the start up two
DHCP scopes are required (This procedure applies regardless of the Ethernet switch being
used):
The following scenario with arbitrary VLAN IDs details the steps a IP DECT base station would
go through in a typical dual-VLAN implementation.
36 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 37
Configuring the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
Step A. DHCP scope within the naive VLAN:
1. IP DECT base station boots up and obtains an address on the native VLAN.
2. The data VLAN DHCP Public option 225 directs the IP DECT base station to go to voice
VLAN.
Step B. DHCP scope within the voice VLAN:
1. IP DECT base station releases the data VLAN address and obtains an address on the voice
VLAN and all other parameters.
2. The voice VLAN does not have the DHCP Public option 225, because a IP DECT base
station already on the voice VLAN doesn’t need to be directed to go there.
3. IP DECT base station is operational on the voice VLAN.
If a reboot or power cycle occurs, the IP DECT base station returns to step A.
If an IP DECT base station cannot obtain an address on the voice VLAN, due to network or
DHCP problems. In this case the IP DECT base station falls back automatically to untagged
frames (native VLAN).
Local configuration of the IP DECT base stations
The OM Configurator has to be member of the native VAN for the 1st configuration, later on
within the set VLAN.
Configuring the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
The ADMM can be configured via HTTP. The ADMM acts as a HTTP server. The HTTP server
binds to port 80 by default. If executed in host mode the port can be configured via command
line interface.
The configuration data will be either read from the internal flash memory or from a local file. A
local file is only used if specified on the command line on a PC host.
The configuration file is a human readable ASCII file. Changing the configuration file outside the
ADMM is not permitted.
The configuration file can be downloaded and uploaded via the web interface.
The service access is restricted to one active session at a time and is password protected.

System settings
The system settings cover global settings of the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager like the system
name.
For monitoring the DECT system behaviour of the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager a separate
application will be delivered. This tool needs an access to the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
which is disabled by default and can be enabled on the system page.
The Avaya DECT Mobility Manager and the IP DECT base stations are capable of propagating
syslog messages conforming to RFC 3164. This feature together with the IP address of a host
collecting these messages can be configured.
If the ADMM is running on an IP DECT base station and SNTP is not used, date and time can
be configured at the ADMM. This has to be done to provide date and time to the Avaya 3711.
The time zone, which is shown on this Web page, has been configured at the IP region section
of the Web service.
Please note, that date and time has to be configured after every restart of the IP DECT base
station, where the ADMM is running.

configured. For the DST both points of time (begin of standard time and begin of daylight
savings time) have to be specified exactly. A certain day in the month or a certain week day in a
month can be used (see the following screen shots as an example).
SNMP
In order to manage a large network of IP DECT base stations offer a SNMP agent in each IP
DECT base station. This will give alarm information and allow a SNMP management system
(such as HP Open View) to manage this network.
All agents are configured in a central place. IP DECT base station dependent parameters like
sysLocation and sysName are generated. sysLocation corresponds to the location configured
via web service. If this location is not configured sysLocation is set to "Location”. sysName is
composed of MAC address and "IP DECT base station” or "ADMM IP DECT base st ation ” if the
ADMM is running on this IP DECT base station.
How long an IP DECT base station is in operational state can be requested by reading
sysUpTime. This value indicates the running time of the IP DECT base station application
software. It does not indicate the running time of the operating system which does not
correspond to the operational IP DECT base station state. This value does not make a
statement about the DECT network.
46 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 47
Configuring the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
The SNMP agent responds to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read requests for the standard MIB-II
objects. The MIB-II contains 11 object groups, which are described in MIB-II
on page 104.
The agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps. It sends a 'coldStart' trap when it first
starts up, and an enterprise-specific trap 'nsNotifyShutdown' when it stops. When it receives a
SNMP request using an unknown community name it sends an 'authenticationFailure' trap. The
agent generates an enterprise-specific trap 'nsNotifyRestart' (rather than the standard 'coldS t art'
or 'warmStart' traps) after being re-configured.
Decoding SNMP messages with your network management system or MIB browser always
requires the publicly available IETF MIB definitions which can be downloaded from http://
www.simpleweb.org/ietf/mibs/index.html?sel=IETF. These are the MIB-II definitions published in
RFC 1 156, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets,
May 1990 and RFC 1213, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/
IP-based internets: MIB-II, March 1991
● RFC1213-MIB
● RFC1212-MIB
● RFC1155-SMI
and the following SNMPv2 definitions published in RFC 1450, Management Information Base
for version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2), April 1993.
● SNMPv2-MIB
● SNMPv2-CONF
● SNMPv2-TC
● SNMPv2-SMI.
Enterprise-specific traps can be decoded using the definitions in
● NET-SNMP-MIB
● NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB.

Page 48
Installation and Configuration
The following parameters can be configured using the ADMM web service:
● Read-only Community
● System Contact
● Activate Trap Handling
● Trap Community
● Trap Host IP Address
The community names are used for both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
The IP DECT base station needs an initial ADMM connection to receive its SNMP configuration.
After that this data is persistent against resets. Changing the SNMP configuration 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.
Backup
The web service interface allows to save a copy of the current configuration on the local host
(host where the browser application is executed) as well as to restore an older configuration.
The configuration file is a checksum protected, compressed and readable file.
Restoring a previously saved configuration will lead to a reset of the ADMM to take effect.

IP Regions
An IP Region is used to define a relation between a IP DECT base station and the IP Trunks
which have to be used to communicate with the Avaya communication server. At least one
region has to be administered before an IP DECT base station or IP trunk can be added.

IP DECT base station Configuration
All configured IP DECT base stations are listed in tables grouped to clusters by its topographic
relations. The IP DECT base stations are sorted by their ethernet addresses.
To ensure correct hand over of a telephone during a call, all involved IP DECT base stations
must deliver the same clock signal to the telephone. This is achieved by placing the IP DECT
base stations so close to each other, that every IP DECT base station recognises at least one
other IP DECT base station through its air interface.
There are conditions where this is not possible, for instance with IP DECT base stations at
remote locations. In this case the IP DECT base stations shall be grouped to different clusters.
The Avaya DECT Mobility Manager will not try to synchronise IP DECT base stations over
cluster borders.
All not empty clusters are displayed in the navigation bar on the left side.

For easier administration each IP DECT base station can be associated with a location string.
The location string can hold up to 20 characters.
New IP DECT base stations can be added to the system by pressing the ‘New’ button. A popup

States of an IP DECT base station
For each IP DECT base station the state of the DECT subsystem is displayed. The states are:
● Synchronous
The IP DECT base station is up and running. The IP DECT base station recognizes and is
recognized by other IP DECT base stations in its cluster through its air interface and
delivers a synchronous clock signal to the telephones.
● Asynchronous but active
The IP DECT base station has not been able to synchronize to it s neighbours yet. No DECT
communication is possible. But nevertheless the IP DECT base station has already been
able to connect to the ADMM. This phase should usually last only for a few seconds after
starting up the IP DECT base station or the ADMM. If this state lasts longer this is an
indication for a hardware or network failure.
● Searching
The IP DECT base station has lost synchronisation to its neighbours. No DECT
communication is possible. This phase should usually last only for a few seconds after
starting up the IP DECT base station or the ADMM. If this state last s longer or is re-entered
after being in a synchronous state this is an indication for a bad location of the IP DECT
base station.
● Inactive
The IP DECT base station has connected to the ADMM but the air interface has not been
switched on yet. For any IP DECT base station with activated DECT functionality this phase
should last only for a few seconds after starting up the IP DECT base station. If this state
lasts longer this may indicate an hardware failure.

Digit Treatment
The Digit Treatment replaces, deletes o r inserts digit s for numbers received by the LDAP based
Corporate Directory or WML. This functions is region dependent.
The digits are treated in two steps:
Configuring the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
● At first all invalid characters like space or hyphens are removed from the number (e.g.
"+49 (30) 6104 4492” will be substituted by +493061044492).
● In second step the best match is searched within the configured prefix list which is valid for
the region the IP DECT handset is located. The prefix will be substituted (e.g. the best
match for the number "+493061044492” is the prefix "+49306104” with the substitute "”;
the result is "4492”).
The digit treatment takes place before the number will be transmitted to the handset menu.
Value ranges and limits:
● Up to 128 entries if ADMM is running on a IP DECT base station and 750 ent ries if ADMM
is running on a linux server are possible.
● Each prefix may be composed of the digits (0-9) and the characters ‘*’ and ‘’#’. In
conformance to LDAP standards the first character may be ‘+’. Up to 15 digits per
sequence are possible. Spaces are not allowed.
● Each substitute may be composed of the digit (0-9) and the characters ‘*’ and ‘’#’.
Entries may be valid for several regions. The region numbers have to be separated by ‘,’ (e.g.

Chapter 4: Avaya Communication Manager
Usage and Important Notes
S8300, S8500 and S87x0 systems are supported where Avaya Communication Manager
(ACM) should be CM3.1.2 load 632.1 or later with appropriate update file.
One or more fixed IP trunk connection is required between ADMM and ACM. The IP DECT
base stations are controlled by the ADMM, they do not register to ACM system. In case the IP
network is down between the ADMM and the IP DECT base station the DECT operation is not
controlled for the base station.
The ADMM does not support survivability as ACM does with LSP and ESS capabilities for
Media Gateways. Several ADMM can be connected to the same ACM system where DECT
users can do roaming between these systems with subscribing to the proper IP DECT system.
Separate ADMM could be configured for such site which has survivability for the ACM system
and has CLAN for the IP trunk connection at that site and the DECT operation is required when
ACM system is in survivable mode. DECT operation is not available for such ACM site where
LSP takes over the control (no CLAN available for the IP trunk connectivity for such site).
For IP DECT users the same features are available as for DECT R2 users. The available
features and feature operation is the same as for analog station users, but interactions with
Multiple Locations feature set is limited and depending on the configuration of the ACM and IP
DECT system.
The Avaya 3711 user should use the ADMM’s AVAYA Menu for activating/deactivating ACM
features if the station’s COS has the Console Permission turned off (set to `n`).

Message Waiting Indication for the 20DT Handset
Because the 20DT and the WT9620 handset do not support the DECT model-ID it is not kno wn
what kind of GAP phone is used. That is the reason why the type of the phone has be to
configured by an administrator. Using this configuration of phone types different handsets can
be handled in different ways.
Looking to the 20DT handsets the Avaya’s Message Waiting Indication feature can not be
handled on those GAP phones. But typical GAP functions in combination with local functions
provided by the phone should be used to find a workaround. The idea for the Message Waiting
Indication feature for 20DT handsets is to map the Avaya systems message indication to a call
indication from the voice mail to generate a call log entry, so the user can retrieve this message
by calling the voice mail entry.
The Message Waiting Indication feature is managed in the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager.
Herein the message waiting indication state is controlled for each 20DT handset until the voice
message is retrieved from the voice box and the Avaya system switched of this state.
Avaya system
Updating the 20DT handsets message waiting indication state e. g. when switching off and on
the handset or leaving and entering DECT areas, will be covered by the Avaya DECT Mobility
Manager. Therefore the Avaya system does not repeat or refresh the MWI-on/off messages.
The Avaya system always notifies the change of the message waiting indication state for each
handset.
76 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 77
Avaya DECT Mobility Manager
For each 20DT handset the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager handles the message waiting
indication states transiently (is not saved over system reset). If the Avaya system sends an
"MWI-on” message to a 20DT handset, the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager has to map this
message into a normal "SETUP” using the voice mail number as calling party number. This call
will be released immediately after it was established. It results to short incoming call indication
from the voice mail party and a new call log entry. The user is able to call back to the voice mail
for retrieving the voice message. This is done by the ADMM when the handset is not in a call
state. Every time a call is released or a DECT location registration happens the scenario above
is repeated until the Avaya system switches off the message indication state.
An entry in the call log can not be removed by the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager. This may
confuse the user in certain situations like the voice mail was already retrieved if using another
phone.
Further on the 20DT handset will be refreshed with the MWI on state after a certain time
interval. This can be administrated for each handset optional.

Site Survey Measurement Equipment
If an IP DECT installation has to be planned, a suf ficient distribution of the IP DECT base
stations is necessary, which fulfill the requirement of a reliable synchronization and connectivity
to the IP DECT handsets. The Site Survey Kit may help you. It comprises:
● Scaled layout diagram of building/premises
● One measuring base station with its own power supply
● One stand and mains adapter/battery for the base stations
● One reference telephone with special software
● Battery chargers, if necessary
● Spectrum analyser
92 Avaya IP DECT Installation, Administration, and Maintenance
Page 93
The spectrum analyzer is not always required. It is needed as verification if it is suspected that
interference sources exist, that could affect the DECT frequency range (approx. 1.9 GHz)
Diagnostic
Syslog
The Avaya DECT Mobility Manager and the IP DECT base stations are capable of propagating
syslog messages conforming to RFC 3164. This feature together with the IP address of a host
collecting these messages can be configured.
Syslog has to be enabled by:
● DHCP using public option 227 and 228 (see Syslog server IP address and port on
page 30)
Diagnostic
● local configuration via OM Configurator (see St atic local configuration of the IP DECT base
station on page 33)
● setting syslog daemon server and port via WEB interface (see System settings on
page 42)
Issue 1 August 2006 93
Page 94
Maintenance
To set Syslog via DHCP ore OM Configurator has the advantage, that syslogs are available in
earlier states of IP DECT base station start up.
The level of syslog messages in the default state allows the user, to have control about the
general state of the system and major failures. If it is wished to incre ase the level for diagnostic
reasons, it can be done via telnet user shell by increasing the SPY level of subsystems (see

You can also read syslogs if you type the command "logread” within telnet user shell.
Telnet user shell
Each IP DECT base station (ADMM included) offers a lot of command within the telnet shell.
Most of them are useful for diagnostic and may help experts, to resolve failures. Some
commands can harm the system operation.

ADMM console commands
If you type "ommconsole” and you have opened the session on the ADMM IP DECT base
station you are able to use the following ADMM related commands:
Diagnostic
Please note the "spy” command, which enables you to increase the level of syslog messages
especially for subsystems of the ADMM. This should be only used by the support organization
because it can harm the system operation.
SNMP
Please see SNMP
overview about the MIB II objects.
● In order to manage a large network of IP DECT base st ations of fers a SNMP agent in each
IP DECT base station.
● The SNMP agent responds to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read requests for the standard
MIB-II objects.
● The agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps ('coldStart' , 'nsNotifyShutdown' ,
'authenticationFailure’ and 'nsNotifyRestart' )
● Decoding SNMP messages with your network management system or MIB browser
always requires the publicly available IETF MIB definitions which can be downloaded.

DECT Monitor of the Avaya IP DECT System
For a better error detection in the Avaya IP DECT system the DECT Monitor can be used. The
DECT Monitor is an MS Windows based stand alone program. It provides th e possibility to give
a real time overview of the current IP DECT base station and telephone states in the Avaya IP
DECT system.
The following features are provided by the DECT Monitor:
● Reading out of the DECT configuration of a Avaya IP DECT system
● Configuration can be stored in an ASCII file.
● Display of DECT transactions IP DECT base station-telephone in clear tabular form, with
highlighting of hand over situations. Real-time display.
● Display of further events concerning the status or actions of IP DECT base stations and
telephones of the Avaya IP DECT system.
● All events can also be recorded in a log file
● Display of the synchronization relations between the IP DECT base station
● Monitoring of systems with up to 256 IP DECT base stations and 1023 telephones
● Reading out and display of IP DECT base station statistics data, either for a single IP
DECT base station or for all IP DECT base stations.
● Display of DECT central data of the Avaya IP DECT system.
The DECT Monitor program can only be used when the DECT Monitor flag in the ADMM
system configuration is enabled.
The DECT monitor program is used together with the Avaya IP DECT system.
When the program is started, the user is requested to enter the IP address of the IP DECT base
station or server running the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM) software. This address is
different from the IP address of the PABX the ADMM is connected to!
There can be several reasons for non successful link establishment:
● Operation of DECT Monitor is not enabled inside the ADMM. Use the Web-Service to
enable DECT Monitor operation.
● IP address is not correct. It has to be the address of the IP DECT base station or Server
the ADMM is running on, not the address of the PABX!
● A link routed through the PABX is not supported. In case of remote service on a PABX via
dial in the ADMM can not be accessed from DECT Monitor.
The program displays the IP address which was used last time.
When the program is started a link to the Avaya IP DECT system is automatically established
and program window shows all user configured child windows and tables.

When all links have been established, the DECT data of the system are automatically read out
and entered in the tables "RFP-Table" and "PP-Table". This procedure is called "Config
Request".
Next, the defined trace options (Event Mask) are sent to the ADMM. The options which are sent
to the ADMM are always those which were active the last time the program was exited.
If the trace option "Transaction est ablish/relea se" is activated, the ADMM will deliver all existing
transactions.
Following this, the ADMM system delivers the desired trace data. The user can either
communicate with the program interactively (see below) or he can simply activate a log file in
which to record the data.
Following this initialisation, the user can carry out the following modifications:
● The trace settings can be modified using the menu item Options-Event Mask.
Transmission to the ADMM takes place after confirmation of the settings with <OK>.
● A Config Request can be sent again to the ADMM.

● A log file can be activated.
● By means of various dialogues, the configuration data of the telephones, IP DECT base
The following information is displayed dynamically in the tables:
● Transactions between telephone and PABX system. These are displayed in both tables.
● The Location Registration and Detach events are displayed in the tables for approx. 1-2s
The following colour scheme is used for display of the IP DECT base station in the RFP table:
stations and control modules can be displayed and stored in ASCII files.
Simple transactions are displayed in black on a white background; during hand over, both
transactions involved are displayed in white on a red background.
after their occurrence (light green background), if possible. There is no display in the FP
table if there is no column free for display. If the event has already been displayed, it can
be overwritten at any time. The events are not displayed if they occur during an on-going
transaction. Irrelevant of whether the events are displayed in the tables, they are always
entered in the "FP/PP-events" window and in the log file (provided that this is open).
RFP grey-blue IP DECT base station is not active (not connected or disturbance)
RFP black IP DECT base station is active
The data of a IP DECT base station are displayed in a dialogue box after clicking on the
respective IP DECT base station field in the RFP table. The statistics data of the IP DECT base
station can be called up from this dialogue box.
The following colour scheme is used for display of the telephone in the PP table:
PP black: Telephone is enrolled. It is assumed that the telephone can be reached.
PP blue: Telephone can presumably not be reached. Detach was received, or
when an attempt was made to reach a telephone, the telephone did not answer.
PP grey-blue: Telephone not enrolled.
The data of an telephone are displayed in a dialogue box after clicking on the respective
telephone field in the FP table.
The Sync Info child window contains all IP DECT base st ations and shows their synchronization
and relation states to each other. Selecting the IP DECT base stations with the right mouse
button the user can change visibility views and can even force a resynchronization of an IP
DECT base station.
