1. The KIRK dect-z 1600 handset –
The professional diagnostic tool for
fault finding and deployment of DECT
systems

Finding and correcting faults in a busi­ness DECT system is a demanding task.
In order to make sure that you get to the
real problem, you have to be able to see
and control the interference that will
exist in a radio system transmitting in
low-power mode. The KIRK dect-z 1600
handset contains various features which
simplify fault finding in existing DECT
solutions and the system is adjusted
with an accuracy, that makes it a highly
recommendable tool for setting up new
DECT installations.

2. Charger

The charger enables you to simultane­ously charge the handset incl. a battery.

The two small indicators placed on the
front of the charger show the status of
charging.

Connect the charger through the DC jack
on the back of the charger and the
AC/DC power supply to the mains.

Please pay attention to the fact that the
temperature limit for normal use is be­tween +10 Celsius and +45 Celsius.

The battery is too cold (below +10 ) if the
indicator flashes red simultaneously with
a firm green light. Charging maintenance
will be kept on until the correct tempera-

ture is reached.
The battery is defect or too hot (more

than +45 ) if the indicator constantly flas­hes red on and off. There will be no
charging at all.
The telephone stand is used as follows:
Put the handset in the charger and con­trol its position. Make sure that the left
indicator has a red light, which means
the charging of the handset has started.
When the normal charging has finished
(after approx. 8 hours) the left indicator
will give you a constant green light indi­cating that the handset is completely
charged. Hereafter the charger changes
automatically to charging maintenance,
keeping the battery fully charged until the
handset is removed.

3. Deployment

The difficult part of installing a DECT
system is the question of where to place
the base stations. The placement of the
base stations is made during deployment
of the site. How to do this is described in
the applications note on the Internet
www.kirktelecom.dk

4. Subscription of the Handset

Connect the base station to the electric
supply.

Switch on the handset.

Press *99972*x,
where X corresponds
to the wanted
handset number (18).

Press ENTER

The handset is now searching for
systems allowing subscription.

Keep pressing the subscription button on
the base station until the bib (the number
of the base station will show up for 1
minute).

Use the < and > keys for scrolling betw­een the system id’s. When the system id
(also written on the back of the base sta­tion) is found, press ENTER.

The display shows:

When you select which one of the four
different subscription memories this parti­cular handset may be subscribed to, you
use the < and > keys. Press the AC key
(AC = 12345678). Then press
If subscription was successful the symbol
(((•))) appears in the display, indicating
that the handset is subscribed. The sym­bol is shown as long as the handset is
subscribed to a system and there is radio
contact.

Attention!

A short press on the subscription button
on the base station will start a broadcast
ringing on the handset connected to the
base station, and the indicator LED will
flash quickly.

5.1. Best Base Stations

In the “BEST BASES” menu it is possi­ble to see how many base stations there
are in the air where the handset is pla­ced. The base stations are sorted after
signal strength (RSSI).

In the RFPI/MASK menu the RFPI num­ber is selected. The RFPI number is a
combination of the ARI and the RPN
(base number) in hex.

The handset can save information for 25
base stations.

ARI

The ARI number is a unique number for
each DECT system. There are 5 diffe­rent classes: A, B, C, D, and E.(ETS 300
175-6)

Class A is for Home DECT:

Class B is for Business DECT:

Class D is for DECT directly attached to

Class E is for PP to PP direct communi­cation:

The ARI Number in a KIRK DECT-z
1500 System

The ARI number on the back of the
CCFP is an octal number.

• Divide the octal number by 4.
The reason to this is because of an
ARI- Bs 31 bits have to be converted
into a 10 digit hex number (ETSI 300
175-6).

• After the division a convert into a hex
number is maked.

i.e.

10002001630o ➾ 100200E6h

To be able to write the hex values A B C
D E F you have to press the keys 1 2 3 4
5 6 down respectively. The keys will
toggle between the value every 1.5
seconds.

Base Number (RPN)

The RPN value can be read in the hand­set and can be in decimal or hex value.
The hex value is read in the test mode
* 99989 *, and the decimal value is in the
test mode * 99981 *.

KIRK Brugervejl. 1403 6200 ED1 09/04/02 15:52 Page

MASK

MASK is shown in decimal and tells how
many bits the handset has to consider in
the RFPI number.

i.e.

RFPI = 100200E606h ➾

0001 0000 0000 0010 0000 0000 1110 0110

ARI

0000 0110b

RFP

If the MASK value is 00 the handset will
look for all base stations in all the DECT
systems in the area.

If the MASK value is 32 it is only the ARI
number, which will be taken into conside­ration, and the handset will look for all
base stations in the system.

If the MASK value is 40 the handset will
look for only one base station in one
system.

When the RFPI/MASK value is entered
the handset will scan for base stations
each time the handset finds a new base
stations. When a base station changes
place in the index, a tone is generated.
The base stations are sorted after the
power in the index. It is possible to chan­ge between the base stations with the
arrows (Please refer to the menu structu­re).

XXXXXXXXXX: RFPI number.
YY: Index (1 - 25).

ZZ: Number of bases found

(1 - 25).

QQ: RSSI value (-99 - 00).

KIRK Brugervejl. 1403 6200 ED1 09/04/02 15:52 Page

To select a base station press ENTER
and the handset will stay on this base
stations until the handset is powered off
or a LOGIN is made. The display is now
the same as if CUR BASE (Ch. 5.2) was
selected.

5.2 Cur. Base

“Cur Base” makes it possible to see the
status of the base station the handset is
presently locked onto (Se MENU Structu­re)

XXXXXXXXXX: RFPI number.
F: The frequency the hand-

set is presently using
(0-9).

S: The timeslot the hand-

set is presently using
(0-11).

Q: Bit error measurement

(0-64).

R: RSSI value (-99-00).

The GAP standard has 10 frequencies
from 1880 MHz. to 1900 MHz. in 1.7
MHz steps. For each frequency there are
12 slots. This means that there are 120
channels available to the user if the
system is a full slot system. The KIRK
DECT-z 1500 system is a blind slot
system, meaning that only the even slot
is used. In a blind slot system there are
only 60 channels useable.

When a handset is in idle mode (no
calls) the handset has a dummy bearer
connected to the base station. The dum­my bearer only uses one channel on the
base station RF-module if the dummy
bearer is jumping between the channels.
When a call is on the base station all
slots on the frequency are blocked. The

12

KIRK Brugervejl. 1403 6200 ED1 09/04/02 15:52 Page

frequency on which the call is can also
change, but this only happens if the qua­lity is getting very bad.

5.3 Free Chan.

With “Free Chan” it is possible to see
how many free DECT channels there are
on the spot on which the handset is
located. The channels are sorted after
the power. (Please refer to the Menu
Structure).

YY: Free channel level in steps of

5 dBm from –90 dBm to –60 dBm

XXX: Number of free channels

6. Possible use of the Handset
Deploying a New Site.

When installation has to be made in a
new site the placement of the base stati­ons has to be located. The Deployment
handset can be used for this purpose.
Subscribe the handset to a deployment
base and find the radio coverage from
the base station. When the deployment
is completed the base stations can be
put up. It is possible to download an
application note about deployment from
the Internet.

Checking an Installed System

• It is possible to find the range of a base
station in a multi cell system by logging
the handset to a base station.

• There may be some spots on the site
that may cause problems, the so-called
“Hot Spots”. It is possible to locate the­se spots because the handset registers
4 base stations.
