PREFACE

This manual is applicable for the AP300, DECT Transceiver.

Please note that some product models or features described in this manual may not be available in all world regions.”

No legal rights can be obtained from information in this manual.

1. AP300 GENERAL

1.1. GENERAL

This installation Manual is valid for installing a DECT transceiver (AP300) to a wall in horizontal or vertical position. The AP300 is designed for indoor use. When installing an AP300 outdoors, please use the dedicated Outdoor Cabinet:

Note that there are two types of DECT Tranceivers::

 AP300 (with internal antennas).  AP300E with directional antenna.

Note: The AP300E must always be installed/used in the outdoor cabinet! For more

information consult the manual for the Outdoor Cabinet for AP300.

1.2. COUNTRY SELECTION

The AP300 is equipped for EMEA, Latin America and North America. However, the DAP Controller determines the frequency used and the power level. The DAP Controller is the software that runs on a PC to control the AP300.

There are three types of DAP Controllers available for the AP300:

− DAP Controller – International. This version is used in EMEA countries and countries that use the European frequencies and power levels.

− DAP Controller - North America

This version is used in North America.

− DAP Controller - Selective Countries.

This version is used in countries with other frequency ranges than EMEA or North

America

Note: In North America, only the “DAP Controller - North America” will be delivered, so no

other frequencies than the North America frequencies and power levels are possible in North America.

Note: In Europe, only the “DAP Controller - International” will be delivered, so no other

frequencies than the European frequencies and power levels are possible in Europe.

March 2010 AP300 Customer Engineer Manual 3

1.3. SITE REQUIREMENTS

Usually the Cabinets will be fixed to existing walls in the positions determined by the Site Survey.

Do not mount the AP300 to a metal wall!

1.4. TEMPERATURE RANGES

The temperature range of the AP300 is:

- 0° to 45° C.

The outside temperature range for the AP300 (all types) mounted in the Outdoor Cabinet is as follows:

Minimum outside temperature: -20° C Maximum outside temperature: 45° C

1.5. CABLE SPECIFICATIONS FOR AP300 Types

The cabling to the AP300(E) is “Category 5” Ethernet cabling. The interface is defined as an SELV interface according EN60950-1. For this reason the following safety restriction is applicable:

Caution: The cabling and/or the AP300(E) may never be exposed to over-voltages (e.g.

lightning). Therefore, the AP300(E) and cabling associated with it may never be installed outdoors! However there is an exception: if installed in the Outdoor Cabinet, and the Outdoor Cabinet is mounted against a wall and the cable is led directly indoors, it is permitted. For details about this specific installation refer to the installation manual of the Outdoor Cabinet.

The power for the AP300(E) must be supplied via the Ethernet cable, PoE (IEEE 802.3af). There is no room for a Mains Power adaptor inside the Outdoor Cabinet.

1.6. G.729 DAUGHTER BOARD

The AP300 does support the G.729 codec, but only if the G.729 Daughter Board is installed.

4 AP300 Customer Engineer Manual March 2010

If the G.729 Daughter Board is not installed, the AP300 supports only G.711u law or G.711a law. Installation of the Daughter Board is described in chapter 4. MOUNTING THE G.729 DAUGHTERBOARD.

1.7. VISUAL CHECK

The equipment must be carefully unpacked and examined for any visible sign of damage.

Anything not in order should be reported back to the supplier, as soon as possible, to avoid delays during installing due to missing equipment.

1.8. HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL MOUNTING

The AP300 can be mounted horizontally or vertically. When mounting vertically, you don’t need top change the antenna position.

Figure 1. AP300 in vertical position.

When the AP300 must be mounted horizontally, the antenna position must be changed.

March 2010 AP300 Customer Engineer Manual 5

Figure 2. AP300 mounted horizontally

1.9. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

The installation of an Outdoor Cabinet comprises the installation of:

- Adjusting the Antenna position (if necessary).

- Mounting the G.729 Daughter Board (if applicable)

- Mounting the AP300 against the wall.

- Connecting directional antennas.

2. UNPACKING

Procedure for unpacking.

1. Open the card board box and take the AP300 out.

2. Check the AP300 on any damages.

3. Continue with one of the following Chapters:

− When you mount the AP300 vertically, the antenna position will normally be OK, and when you do not need to install the G.729 Daughter Board, continue with Chapter 5 MOUNTING THE AP300 AGAINST A WALL.

− When you mount the AP300 horizontally, you probably need to change the antenna position. Consult Chapter 3. ADJUSTING THE ANTENNA POSITION.

− When you require G.729 codec support, you will have to install the G.729 Daughter Board. Consult Chapter 4. MOUNTING THE G.729 DAUGHTERBOARD

6 AP300 Customer Engineer Manual March 2010

3. ADJUSTING THE ANTENNA POSITION

Note: You only need to change the antenna position when you mount the AP300

horizontally! In all other cases you don’t need to change the antenna position.

Figure 3. AP300 mounted horizontally

Procedure for Adjusting the Antenna position.

Note: Antenna position can be changed once. You should not change it back!

1. Remove the two screws from the rear side of the cabinet

Screws are

2. Open the cabinet CAREFULLY! Make sure that you shift the cover of the antenna’s carefully from the antenna’s.

3. Take the antenna cover from the AP300 cover.

4. To put the antennas in vertical position, bend them carefully as shown in Figure 5. Bend Antennas carefully into vertical position.

Figure 5. Bend Antennas carefully into vertical position.

5. After the antennas are put in the vertical position, close the AP300 cabinet again. In other words, put the AP300 cover back into position and secure the screws at the rear side of the cabinet. See Figure 6. Antennas locked into Cover.

Figure 6. Antennas locked into Cover.

8 AP300 Customer Engineer Manual March 2010

6. Make sure that the antennas are properly locked into the locks in the AP300 cover.

Figure 7. Detail of antenna in lock.

7. Move the antenna cover carefully over the antennas in the vertical position and make sure that the antennas do not bend. When the antenna cover is in its position, push it further into its position in the AP300 cabinet to fix it.

Figure 8. Cover installed.
