Product description

Figure 1: Main parts of the DECT system

The DECT system is in a CS 1000M IPE shelf or a CS 1000E cabinet or chassis. DECT has
four main components:

a DECT mobility cards
b Basestation
c Handsets
d DMC DECT Manager with DECT application

Clock requirements

The following clock controller cards are mandatory:

NTRB53 Clock Controller card for a CS 1000M SG or MG

•

• NTAK20BD Clock Controller daughterboard or NTAK79AA card with a built-in clock
controller for an Option 11C and CS 1000E Media Gateways

If there is no digital connection to the network, the appropriate clock controller must be installed
and operated in free run mode.

Note:

On EMC-hardened Cabinet systems, the clock controller must be in one of the first three
slots of the CPU cabinet.

Overview

backplane clock between two MG1000 chassis, MG 1010 chassis, or Option 1 1C cabinets, are
shown in the figures below.

For CS 1000E DECT installations that span more than 1 cabinet, the NTDW63AAE5 (Option
11C Cabinet Ethernet & Clock Reference Breakout Adapter) is used with the NTDW67AAE5
(Clock Reference Cable) to synchronize the backplane clock between two Option 11C
cabinets. For DECT installations that span more than 1 MG 1000 or MG 1010 main and
expander chassis, the NTDW67AAE5 cable is used to synchronize the backplane clock
between two MG 1000 or MG 1010 chassis. This is in addition to the clock controller
requirement identified above.

system supports a mix of DMCs and DMC8s. A DMC8 supports up to eight

Product description

All DMC8s support a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection to the DECT Manager with an
NTCW12DA cable. The DMC8 card requires a NTCW25AA DECT Manager Ethernet (DME)
daughterboard installed to support an Ethernet connection.

Each DMC8 is programmed in the database using LD 10.
The DMC8s are interconnected by faceplate cables, allowing them to pass information to each

other.
DMC8s must be in an IPE shelf or in a cabinet or chassis.
There is no call switching in the DMC8 card. All call switching occurs within the Meridian 1, CS

1000M, or CS 1000E.

DMC Faceplate cables

Mobility card (DMC8)

The faceplate cables form the 20 Mb/s bus that connects all DMCs in a DECT
faceplate cables meet the standard for Unshielded Twisted-Pair category of performance 5
(UTP CAT 5).

Signaling and PCM are sent to all DMCs over the faceplate cables, allowing a DMC8 to pass
a call to another DMC8.

The following faceplate cables are used in DECT systems:

1. DMC to DMC faceplate cable (NTCW11AA)
The cable extends the 20Mb/s bus to all DMCs.

2. DMC to DMC-E faceplate cable (NTCW11BA)
The DMC to DMC-E cable extends the 20Mb/s bus past the XPEC card in the IPE

shelf.

3. DMC bypass faceplate cable (NTCW11CA)
The DMC bypass faceplate cable bypasses DMCs to be inserted in or removed from

an operational DECT system.

4. DMC faceplate termination (NTCW11DA)
The DMC faceplate termination balances the impedance at either end of the 20Mb/

s bus.

system. The

position of the ferrites on the cable is important. Each end of the cable must have
a group of 20 ferrites. One quarter the distance from each end of the cable must
have a group of 10 ferrites. The maximum length of the cable is 1.5 meters,
limiting the position of DECT shelves 0 and 1 to adjacent IPE modules or CS
1000E cabinets/chassis.

6. DMC to DMC 1-meter faceplate cable with four ferrites (NTCW11FA)
This cable extends the 20Mb/s bus to all DMCs and is used in Avaya

Communication Server 1000E systems to connect DMC cards in MG1000E Main
Chassis and MG1000E Expander Chassis.

Customers must use UTP Cat 5 faceplate cables supplied by Avaya. Faceplate
termination must be used on the DMCs at both ends of the faceplate cabling.

Faceplate cabling between DMC(-E) cards is slightly different for different Avaya CS 1000
system types. The following are the examples:

Basestations

There are three basestation models available:

C4600 – supports six active call radio links

•

• C4610 – supports 12 active call radio links

• C4610E (with external antenna) – supports 12 active call radio links

DMC DECT Fundamentals August 2012 25

Product description

Basestations are IP40-compliant wall-mounted transceivers that provide digital radio links to
handsets.

Caution:

Service Interruption

For maximum line length before signal degradation occurs, use UTP

Cat 5 cabling between
the basestation and the shelf or cabinet. If the line length exceeds 100 ohms for the 4610
basestation, an external power supply must be used. The maximum distance when using
external power with UTP Cat 5 cabling is approximately 1.7 km.

The basestation has the following features:

• RJ45 socket connection to a one meter UTP Cat 5 cable

• RJ45 socket connection to an external or local power supply

• Green LED (C4600) or a yellow LED (C4610), indicates synchronization to its DMC8

• One meter UTP Cat 5 cable connected through an RJ45 Connect Box and MDF to an
IPE I/O panel or CS 1000E cabinet I/O panel

Two sources can power the basestation:

• The DMC8 and DMC8-E feeding phantom power over the UTP Cat 5 cable signaling
pairs, connected to (a) in

•

A local power supply, connected to (b) in

Figure 14: Basestation on page 26

Figure 14: Basestation on page 26

Figure 14: Basestation

Basestations connected to a DMC8 or DMC8-E card can use phantom power in some
conditions, and must use local power in other conditions.

An application on the DMC DECT

Manager can enable or disable phantom power.

Note:

The maximum line length for a twelve-channel basestation using phantom power is 1.0 km.
The maximum line length for a six-channel basestation, regardless of power

, or a twelve-

channel basestation using external power, is 1.7 km.

a basestation cell. When the handset moves from one cell to another, the cell overlap allows
the handset to move without interruptions.

The cell radius varies from 20m to 100m.
The number of basestations required to cover a certain area depends on many factors, such

as the following:

Size of the area of coverage

•

• Radio propagation characteristics of the buildings

• Materials used for walls, floors, lift shafts, reinforced glass, doors

• Strong magnetic fields from radar, welding equipment, manufacturing equipment, and
high energy electronic devices

• Density of telephone users in an area, and amount of telephone traffic

A user can subscribe a handset to more than one DECT system. This feature is useful for a
company that has multiple DECT sites.

De-subscription is the process of removing a handset from a DECT system. The handset user
is then prevented from making and receiving calls.
