1. INTRODUCTION

iPECS eMG80 DECT (Dig ital Eu ro Cordless Technology) solution employs Ericsson-LG
Enterprise DECT technology to provide convenience and enhanced productivity with increased
office mobility. With the System DECT solution, any DECT Gap compatible handset such as the
Ericsson-LG En terpr ise GDC-450H/480H/500H DECT handset can use wireless connectivity for
accessing features and functions of the iPECS system. GDC-450H/480H/500H connect with
Ericsson-LG En terpr ise DECT Base Stations, providing a fixed radio coverage area or cell.
Arranging multiple base stations with overlapping cells forms zones of transparent coverage. As
the handset is moved within the zone, a Radio Frequency (RF) connection can be established
with any Base station in the zone for transparent operation of the handset throughout the zone,
using active call hand-off.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Installation Overview

The installation of System DECT begins with a Site Survey to establish a temporary site map
including initial locations for Base Stations. After the site map is developed, the WTIB(s) is
installed and the iPECS is configured to support System DECT (refer to your system

iPECS

eMG80 Admini stration and Programming Manual

DECT employs RF sign al s to c om municate between the handsets and Base Stations.

for establishing DECT data in Web Admin).
Once configuration is complete, the Base Stations are mounted in their preliminary locations and
an RF coverage survey is conducted to refine the Base Station locations. With the Base Stations
placed and installed in their permanent locations, handsets can be registered to System DECT.

In order to address the variation in range, prior to installation, a site survey should be conducted
to establish a map with the preliminary locations for the DECT Base Stations. After installation,
the handset is employed in the Cell Tool mode to define the actual RF radiation pattern and Base
Station locations can be adjusted to provide seamless coverage.

3.2 Site Planning for Base Stations

The purpose of Site Planning is to provide you with information and explain tasks that should be
considered to ensure the best operation of the system. Read the following information before
installing the unit.

CAUTION

The Base Station should be installed indoors and protected from surge because it
is designed to be an indoor station.

3.2.1 Cell-coverage Region Survey (CRS)

In order to obtain the most complete coverage in your facility, this Section explains the measuring
procedures using the Cell-coverage Region Survey (CRS) tool of GDC-600TBE. The temporary
positions of Base Stations should be determined prior to this measurement according to
instructions outlined in this section. The temporary positions will be adjusted according to the
measurement findings, if necessary. Before reading this part, it is recommended to get used to
the manipulation of the CRS tool. GDC-450H/480H/500H supports CRS function.

3.2.2 Preliminary Positions of Base Stations

1. Obtain the plane drawings of the building.
First, understand the general constructing materials of the walls, doors, windows, etc.

The materials of the building are the main factors of attenuation of the RF signals.

Figure 3.2.2-1 DECT Site Survey

As the Base Station or Handset RF signal propagates, it is subject to several
characteristics that affect the ability to receive the signal in a useable form. N or mal
attenuation, reflection, and noise all contribute to signal degradation over distance. The
Base Station and Handset transmit at about 10 dbm and can receive a signal of -70
dbm. In an open field with line-of-sight, the handset and Base station can have a
separation of about 175 meters. The antenna radiation pattern is approximately circular
in the horizontal plane (shown Figure 3.2.2-2). In an office environment, walls, doors,
windows, etc. will further attenuate the RF signal to varying degrees (guidelines below),
significantly reducing the coverage area.

iPECS eMG80

System DECT Installation Guide Issue 1.3

7

Figure 3.2.2-2 A n t enna Radi at ion P at tern

Office furniture and structures such as filing cabinets, and certain windows and other
surfaces can cause reflections of the original signal. Some materials cause significant
reflections, which can reduce the received signal. GDC-600BE has two antennas to
implement antenna diversity, which minimizes the affects of signal reflections. By
employing the antenna with the best signal, the affects of reflected signals can be
reduced. Although reflections cannot be eliminated in an office, consider locating the
Base Stations away from cabinets and other tall furniture.

High noise levels affect the ability of the receiver to separate the desired signal from the
general noise. Office and industrial equipments such as Fax machines, office
electronics, welders, microwave ovens and even poorly maintained fluorescent lighting
can generate high RF emissions, which appear as background RF noise. Also multiple
reflections of the original signal can appear as noise. Again, although RF noise cannot
be eliminated, noise can be reduced by locating Base stations away from nearby
emitters.

2. Determine the broadcasting range of a Base Station.
In a typical office environment, the radios of the cell supported by a Base Station is

approximately 25-40 meters. These figures however, are truly dependent on the office
characteristics (ex., construction material of walls, placement of metallic objects, doors,
windows, etc.); make sure to get to know the broadcast range in your environment
taking each office characteristic into account (refer to Figure 3.2.2-3).

Figure 3.2.2-3 Sampl e T emporary Base Station Positio n

3. Mark the position of the offices where wireless handsets (450H/480H/500H) mainly will
be used, and mark the places where high call demands would exist; these areas should
be well covered by the Base Stations.

4. Roughly determine the number of Base Stations and the positions needed according to
the above tips.

3.2.3 General Procedure for CRS

After getting well-acquainted with the operation of GDC-600TBE, and how the Base Stations
work as applicable to your facility, the CRS can be conducted. Section 3.2.2, Preliminary
Positions of Base Stations should already have been completed.

To conduct a CRS:

1. First, verify that other DECT Base Stations in the area are powered OFF; only the one

you are working with currently should be ON.

2. Enter the same PARK ID in GDC-600TBE and GDC-450H/480H/500H.

3. Mount GDC-600TBE at the determined temporary position as high as possible; it is
recommended to place GDC-600TBE at higher than 2 meters.

4. Check the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) level in GDC-450H/480H/500H by
walking around the area; decide the cell-coverage range temporarily using the pre­determined RSSI level.

5. Repeat CRS procedure from Step 1 at the next tentative Base Station position; it is
likely and recommended that the cell-coverage will overlap a bit as shown:

Figure 3.2.3-1 Cell Bou ndary Map w i th Bas e 1 and Bas e 2

iPECS eMG80

System DECT Installation Guide Issue 1.3

10

6. If marked positions on the drawing need to be adjusted, move Base Station positions by
checking shadow area on plan drawing, and adjusting the Cell-Coverage Regions
(consider traffic of 6 calls per area, and add to plan) as shown:

Figure 3.2.3-2 Adjusting Cell Boundary Positions for Base 1 and Base 2

7. After completing the CRS, install the Base Stations (GDC-600BE) in the optimal
locations.

8. Finalize the Base Station position by performing a handover and call test with wireless
terminals (ex., 450H/480H/500H), by checking the cell coverage region with GDC­450H/480H/500H monitor RSSI level (recommended -65 ± 5dBm, walk with 2 handsets
and monitor for voice quality).

3.2.3.1 Additional Tips for CRS

The following lists what you should keep in mind during the CRS Test:

 Draw a cell-coverage region map for each Base Station temporary position.
 The height of a mounted Base Stati o n hi ghl y affects th e performance of Base Sta ti on ;

it is recommended Radio Fixed Parts (RFP) such as Base Stations, should be
mounted as high as possible, and at least higher than 2 meters.

 It is good to locate the position of the RFP in order to secure as many line-of-sight

paths as possible, no obstacles be tw e en the RFP an d Ha nds et ( PP) , an d the path is
direct; a line-of-sight path is a good travel way for Radio Frequency signal.

 All other DECT products should be powered-OFF, and GDC-600TBEs cannot work

simultaneously.

 Testing during daytime in the real environment is more recommended, as the RSSI is

very sensitive to environmental situations; testing at night when the interfering factors

iPECS eMG80

System DECT Installation Guide Issue 1.3

11

are minimized will bring quite different results from a real office environment.
If there is fading due to metal material, the RSSI value can be varied over a wide
range.

 Use a fully-charged batt ery pack.

3.2.4 Base Station General Guidelines

Using the guidelines and examples below, determine and indicate the approximate Base station
locations on the drawing.

 Maximize line-of-sight
 Distance in open field 150 meters ~ -65 dbm
 Distance in-office 25 to 40 meters
 Distance in hallw ay or open factor y flo or 40 to 70 m eter s
 Locate Base stations to minimize obstructions (sprinklers, exit signs, etc.)
 Locate Base stations away from noise emitters (FAX machines, etc.)
 Locate Base stations away from metal objects (tall fili ng c abinets, s ecur i ty/fire doors,

etc.)

 Locate Base stations near the center of the desired coverage area
 For proper handover, the coverage area of each Base station should overlap by 10 to

15 meters.

 Consider high traffic areas such as conference rooms and cafeterias.
 Each Base station supports four (4) simultaneous conversations.
 Multiple Base stations can be co-located with a minimum distance of 0.25 meters.
 For a multi-floor installation, plan coverage for each floor separately
 Attenuation appr oximations considering office equipment and materials:

 Open field = 0.5 db/meter
 Office environment = 2 to 3 db/meter (25 ~ 40 meters)
 Hall or open factory floor = 1 to 2 db/meter (40 to 70 meters)
 Concrete and masonry = 15 db/cm
 Windows, clear glass = 5 dbWindows, mirrored glass = 15 db
 Drywall, standard = 5 db
 Drywall, metal backed = 12 db
 Metal, 1.5 mm = > 20db

Figure 3.2.4-3 Base Station Aligned with Corridor to Adjoining Area

CAUTION

1. The appropriate position for a Base Station is no closer than 1.8m above the floor

and 0.5m below the ceiling.

- The best c om m unication environment is w h en a Base St ati o n a nd a us er are of
the same height. In an office environment, however, it is recommended to
consider off ic e furniture (especia lly iron desktops or cabinets) to minimize
reflection, diffraction and scatteri ng of DECT wave when you set the po sition o f a
Base Station.

2. Keep away from any electroni c equi pment such as copy machines, printers or
computers.

3. The lower wall of a corridor where many people pass by, corner of a wall, and
narrow indoors also should be avoided.

4. When you insta ll a Base Station on the wall, it is better to include intervals.

- DECT wave is attenuated by reflection indoors. In order to minimize attenuation,
when you install a Base Station on the wall, give at least three-wave-length
intervals. The intervals should be about 45cm because the wavelength is 15cm at
DECT frequency.

In iPECS eMG80 System, WTIB4 is Base Station interface board. iPECS eMG80 System can
have one WTIB4 (up to 4 ports).

iPECS eMG80

System DECT Installation Guide Issue 1.3

3.3 WTIB4

The WTIB4 can be installed on KSU.

CAUTION

1. Pr ior to installing the WTIB4, System power should be turned OFF to avoid any

damage.

The layout and dip switch setting of WTIB4 of iPECS eMG80 is shown:

Figure 3.3-1 WTIB4

CAUTION

The Base Station is connected to the WTIB4 by an unshielded twisted pair cable (at least
CAT3).

NOTE

 The unshielded twisted pair cable (at least CAT3) should be used to conn ect WTIB4

with a Base Station.

 Shielded cable can be used if it can withstand interference from noise sources such

as an AC power cable with high voltage. A shorter cable length and/or clear line-of­view between the WTIB4 and Base Station will decrease the possibility of data
degradation.

 Even though there are connection points such as MDF or the connection tab between

WTIB4 and Base Station, the connection points should be connected with twisted-pair
cable (at least CAT3). For example, WTIB4 to MDF, MDF to MDF, MDF to connection
tab, and connection tab to Base Station should be joined using twisted-pair cable.

3.4 Description and Installation of GDC-600BE

3.4.1 GDC-600E Description

GDC-600BE Base station employs DECT technology to provide an RF link to any standard DECT
GAP handset such as GDC-450H/480H/500H. The Base Station connects to a WTIB4 for access
to features and resources of iPECS with an RJ-11 4-wire connector on the left-side of the unit. In
addition to providing the path for signaling and audio between the Base Station and the WTIB4,
this connection provides power to GDC-600BE.

Two antennas provide antenna diversity to minimize the effects of RF signal reflection. The Base
Station is meant for indoor wall mounting only. The Base Station is directly mounted on the wall
using two (2) screws.

Figure 3.4.1 GDC-600BE DECT Base Station

3.4.2 Base Station Installation

As mentioned in previous sections in this chapter, before permanently mounting a Base Station,
you should determine the most appropriate location for providing the best coverage. Base
Stations may be mounted on wall or desktop up to 600m away from the WTIB4 using a twisted 2­pair unshielded cable (0.5φ, AWG 24). They are remotely powered (DC 30 volts) by the WTIB4.

The number of Base Stations used in a system depends on the area to be covered and the traffic
density. The typical in-house coverage is a 75m radius for GDC-600BE. In practice, the cell
outdoor radius in free space may up to 400m for GDC-600BE.

There are two ways to install the Base Station: mounting directly to wall surface, or mounting
usi n g a w edge, as described in the following Section.

iPECS eMG80

System DECT Installation Guide Issue 1.3

18

3.4.2.1 Mounting Base Station

The weight of a Base Station is approximately 460g (1.2lb.), so it can be mounted on a masonry
or dry-wall surface, wooden wall, or partition wall.

Before mounting Base Station permanently, you should determine locations that provide the best
coverage (refer to General Procedure for CRS). To wall mount the Base Station, perform the
following Steps:

1. Drill two 3.5mm holes in a fixed wall; to properly position the holes, use the mounting
template (last sheet of this manual) and copy it if necessary. The distance between
mounting holes is 121mm as shown in the image.

2. Insert anchors into the drilled holes.

3. Insert screws in the anchors, leaving a 3mm gap between the wall and screw head.

4. Mount the Base Station eyelets on the screws.

Figure 3.4.2.1 Back side of GDC-600BE

Before mounting base station permanently, you should determine locations that provide the best
coverage. The wall mounting procedure of a base station is as follows:

1. Drill two 3.5mm holes in a fixed wa ll. To properly position the holes, you can use mounting
template that is the last sheet of this manual and copy it if necessary.

2. Insert anchors into the drilled holes. Then insert scre ws in the anchors, leaving a 3mm gap
between the wall and screw head.

3. Mount the base station eyelets on the screws.
