Overview
A repeater is used when you need to extend the range of your cordless DECT telephone or PBX cell station, to include areas where reception was previously not available. The repeater extends the range in all directions, allowing several floors to be covered.
Up to 6 repeaters can be registered at a DECT base unit, and up to 18 repeaters can be registered at a PBX cell station (when utilising Serial Repeater ID Programming).
Please note : The number of simultaneous calls on a Cell Station is reduced by adding a repeater. This is by design. Each repeater is controlled using one speech path. The repeater can support up to a maximum of two handsets.
