Digital Mobility Configuration

Overview

The Digital Mobility System uses Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephony (DECT), which is a digital wireless technology that has been standardized by the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standard Institute). Although a European standard, the technology has spread worldwide with only minor differences to the frequency band allocated for wireless telephony in different markets.

This guide explains how to install and configure the Digital Mobility System. This includes the installation and configuration of the following components:

 Digital Mobility Controller (DMC)  Digital Mobility Base stations (Radio Fixed Part (RFP))  Digital Mobility Repeaters (Wireless Radio Fixed Part (WRFP))

The guide also provides you with information about:

 DMC OAM application: the tool used from your computer to configure,

operate, administer and maintain the wireless subsystem through the DMC.

 Digital Mobility Service Tool: the tool used from your computer to

configure and manage handsets and repeaters.

The DMC OAM application and Digital Mobility Service Tool are separate from the BCM configuration interface (Element Manager). The DMC is connected to the BCM via a Digital Station Module (DSM+) and will utilize the required ports on the DSM+ for each of the required Digital Mobility Handsets.

Required Information Before configuring the Digital Mobility Controller, you should consider the following:

 Has all of the required telephony programming been completed on the

BCM?

 Has a Digital Station Module (DSM+) been provided with spare ports for

the Digital Mobility Handsets?

Rack Mounting

You can install a DMC in the same rack as the other networking equipment and BCM.

Note: The DMC and the BCM must be within 15 meters of each other. To rack mount a DMC, you need the optional Rack Mount Kit. This kit provides the parts you need to mount several DMCs into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

1. Determine the location in the rack where you want to install the DMC, and position the rack mounting tray in the rack.

2. Align the holes in the rack mounting bracket with the holes in the equipment rack rails.

3. Fasten the rack mounting brackets to the rack using the four rack screws (supplied).

4. Place the DMC on the rack mount tray so that the DMC feet are in the depressions in the tray. Move the module forward so the feet are touching the front side of the depressions.

5. Slide the module back until the DMC feet click in place on the tabs in the depressions.

6. If you want to further secure the DMC, use four of the plastic screws supplied with the rack mount kit to attach the DMC to the rack mount tray. Ensure that the screw holes in the DMC are aligned with the holes in the

NN40011-036 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 7

Note: The holes marked 1 and 2 show the suggested positions in relation to which hole to use. These are in the order of preference, so use holes marked 1 in their suggested locations or holes numbered 2 as an alternative for the position of the mounting screws.

rack mount tray. Then drive the four screws through the holes in the bottom of the tray and into the screw holes in the bottom of the DMC.

Wall Mounting

The DMC can be wall mounted, in which case a wall mounting kit is required. It is also recommended to have a plywood backboard two cm thick.

1. Mark the location of the plywood backboard on the wall using a pencil, then mount the plywood backboard securely to the wall.

2. Place the wall mount bracket on the backboard and use a spirit-level to check that the wall mount bracket is level.

3. Using the wall mount bracket as a template, mark the location of three of the wall mount bracket holes on the plywood backboard.

4. Install three #10 x 2.5 cm round-head wood screws in the backboard. Do not tighten the screw heads against the backboard. Leave approximately

0.5 cm of the screw exposed from the backboard.

5. Prepare the wall mount bracket by removing the alignment tabs or the side breakouts on the cable management door. The following describes what

8 NN40011-036 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0

to remove for each of the installation scenarios.

Digital Mobility Configuration

a. If this is the only DMC in the system, remove the alignment tabs on

the right side of the wall mount bracket.

b. If this is the first DMC on a system with two DMCs (a linked

system), remove the side breakout from the right side of the cable management door.

c. If this is the last DMC on a system with two DMCs (a linked

system), remove the alignment tabs and the side breakout from the left side of the cable management door.

6. Hang the wall mount bracket on the mounting screws making sure that the bracket is level and the wood screw heads seat fully into the wall mount slots. Then tighten the wood screws against the wall mount bracket.

7. Align the feet on the DMC with the four holes in the wall mount bracket. Press the DMC against the wall mount bracket and slide the module down until it clicks into place. Repeat the necessary steps if you are installing a second DMC in a linked system.

8. Secure the power supply for the DMC unit in such a way that it is secure and cannot be accidentally dislodged.

DMC on to DMC

The DMC can also be connected directly one on top of the other.

1. Place the DMC on top of the other DMC. Make sure that the DMC feet are in the slots on the top of the DMC, and in front of the tabs.

NN40011-036 Issue 1.2 BCM Rls 6.0 9

Digital Mobility Configuration

2. Slide the DMC back until it clicks in place on the tabs

On a flat surface

The DMC can be placed on any flat surface that can safely support the weight of the module. Though please note do not place anything directly on top of the DMC (except for another DMC). The DMC requires the ventilation holes to be free of obstructions to prevent overheating.

To install the DMC on a table or shelf.

1. Attach the four rubber feet to the bottom of the DMC. Position the DMC on the table or shelf, making sure that enough space is left around the DMC for ventilation and access to the cables.

2. If the DMC is part of a linked system, you can install the other DMC on top of, or beside, the existing DMC.

3. Secure the power supply for each unit in such a way that it is secure and cannot be accidentally dislodged.

Connecting to the BCM

This section describes how to connect the DMC to the BCM through TCM (Time Compression Multiplexing) loop connections, i.e. digital extension loops.

The TCM loop connector is a 50-pin amphenol connector with eight TCM loops for the DMC080 and 16 TCM loops for the DMC320. The DMC320 has two Amphenol connectors which support a total of 32 TCM loops.

Note: You must install all base stations within 1500 meters of the DMC. Always make a cable delay measurement to ensure seamless handover between base stations.

Only the first 8 pairs needed for a single DMC080

The connection of the DMC to the BCM is Amphenol connector to Amphenol connector.

Note: The maximum length of TCM loops is 15 meters.

Installing Base Stations

Before you install Base stations, ensure that a site planner defines the base station locations (site survey for deployment) and records the base station information in the host system programming record.

Each base station supports four channels and radio coverage of 50 to 150 metres indoor and 300 to 600 metres outdoor (dependant on site survey and environment).

Avoid installing base stations on large concrete or marble columns because these columns affect radio coverage. If possible, place the base station a minimum of one meter from these types of columns. Do not install a base station

with the antenna housings near metal objects. Do not position base stations in ducts, plenums, or hollow spaces used to transport environmental air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having lay-in panels.

To expand a coverage area with base stations, additional base stations must be placed in such a way that overlap between the base stations radio coverage is established. It is recommended that the overlap is at least 10 to 15 meters.

Base Station Wiring

The Base station is connected using an RJ11 connector, with twisted pair from a Cat4 cable or similar, however the connection at the DMC is RJ45.

On a DMC080, two base stations can be connected from the RJ45 connection on the DMC, and four base stations per RJ45 connector on the DMC320 (eight base stations in total, having two RJ45 interfaces).

Use the following tables to determine which pairs to use for which base stations: Please note that on the RJ11 interface, it is always Pins 2 and 3 that will be used

for the twisted pair. This is regardless of the base station numbering.

Installing the Base Station

1. Use a twisted pair wire, e.g. Cat 4, between the DMC and the base station with an RJ11 connector at the base station end of the wire. Connect the wire to the plug using the two inner connectors of the plug. Pull the wire through the wall bracket.

2. Mount the wall bracket on the wall using the screws accompanying the base station. Do not fasten the screws completely to allow for adjustments of the wire length when connecting the wire to the base station.

3. Connect the RJ11 plug to the rear of the base station. Adjust the length of the wire, and then fasten the wall bracket.

4. Click the base station to the wall bracket.

Note: If you need to remove the base station, separate it from the wall bracket with a gentle push of a screwdriver inserted between the wall bracket and the base station.

BCM DECT Cable Installations Utilizing Structured Cabling

The DMC can be interfaced with the BCM via structured cabling. This could be achieved by using combination of topology as outlined in the diagram below.

Installing Repeaters

Repeaters are wireless so relatively easy to install. They are used to extend the radio coverage of a given base station, but do not have the ability to increase the number of channels available from each base station. They support 2 channels only, utilizing these from the four available of the base station they are assigned to.

The repeater can only be registered on the system when placed within the coverage area of a base station or within the coverage area of an alreadyinstalled repeater. Up to six repeaters can be used to extend radio coverage for a base station.

Installing repeaters requires a software installation / programming as well as a hardware installation.

1. Pull the power supply wire through the wall bracket, and mount the wall bracket on the wall using the screws accompanying the repeater. Do not
