The KWS6000 controls the wireless infrastructure. It manages media
resources, base stations, repeaters and the IP interface to the call handler.
The communication protocol between the KWS6000 and the call handler is SIP
A KWS6000 is installed directly on the LAN and must be managed as part of
the corporate network.
For more information about the KWS6000, refer to “Deploying KIRK Wireless
Server 6000” on page 3-1, “Installing KIRK Wireless Server 6000 and KIRK
Media Resource” on page 4-1 and “Configuring KIRK Wireless Server 6000”
on page 10-1.
The wireless solution supports two wireless bands, allowing operation in
various countries and regions. Supported wireless bands are:
•ETSI DECT (1880-1900 Mhz), referred to as DECT
•USA DECT (1920-1930 Mhz), referred to as 1G9
The wireless band used by a KWS6000 solution is determined by the base
stations and handsets ordered with the solution.
KIRK Media Resource
The media resource performs media conversion between the call handler and
the KWS6000 and is the media termination point for incoming and outgoing
calls.
A maximum of 32 media resources can be added to KWS6000. Each media
resource adds 32 voice channels to the system. It furthermore handles the
media stream from the SIP server and voice is thus distributed from the KIRK
Media Resource to the KIRK IP Base Station. Adding 32 media resources
makes it possible to have 1024 calls at the same time.
Note
KWS6000 contains one media resource.
2–3
KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Installation and Configuration Guide
Codec Module
It is possible to install a Codec Module in the media resource. The Codec
Module adds a number of codecs, allowing the wireless server to interface to
G.729A/G.723.1 and other codec standards.
Note
KIRK Base Station
When installing a Codec Module, the media resource only adds 24 voice
channels to the system. Adding 32 media resources with codec modules
makes it possible to have 768 calls at the same time.
For more information about media resources, refer to “Installing KIRK
Wireless Server 6000 and KIRK Media Resource” on page 4-1 and
“Configuring KIRK Media Resources” on page 11-1.
For more information about installing the Codec Module, refer to “Installing
KIRK Codec Module” on page 5-1.
The base stations are positioned in the area to send and receive calls between
the wireless server and the handset. The base station contains internal
antennas and handles 11 speech channels simultaneously. A base station is
able to synchronize with other base stations. When the base station is
synchronized with other base stations, a person speaking in a handset can
move between base stations without any interference.
Transmission length is up to 100 meters/329 feet according to IEEE 802.3u on
a twisted pair cable, e.g. cat.5e. The base station is a class 1 PoE device (802.3af)
and must be powered accordingly (maximum power supply consumption
3.0W according to PoE 802.3af). The radius coverage of the base station is up
to 90 meters/295 feet indoor and up to 300 meters/984 feet outdoor, with a
handset in line-of-sight.
2–4
Coverage area decreases depending on choice of building materials and
obstructive elements. To ensure proper coverage in the areas required, it is
necessary to conduct a site survey and deployment by certified technicians.
For more information about deployment, refer to the Deployment Guide
accompanying the Deployment Kit.
For more information about the base station, refer to “Installing KIRK Base
Station” on page 6-1 and “Configuring KIRK Base Station” on page 12-1.
KIRK Repeater
Introduction to KIRK Wireless Server 6000
The repeater can be used to extend the coverage area in a wireless solution.
Depending on the repeater type, it can be mounted either on the wall or on the
ceiling. The wireless repeater is used in areas with limited voice traffic, where
cabling is difficult. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic
channels, but increases the coverage area established with the base station. Up
to three repeaters can be placed in cascade formation directing coverage in a
certain direction.
The base station can support up to 6 repeaters.
For more information about the repeater, refer to “Installing KIRK Repeater”
on page 7-1.

The handset is a lightweight, ergonomically designed wireless unit that
includes an LCD display and keypad.
The handset is a portable unit compatible with DECT GAP standard.
The handset is designed to provide the subscriber with most of the features
available for a wired phone, in addition to its roaming and handover
capabilities.
The KWS6000 supports up to 4096 registered handsets.
For more information about the handset, refer to “Preparing KIRK Handset for
Use” on page 8-1, “KIRK Handset Registration and Subscription” on page 13-1
and “KIRK Handset Management” on page 14-1.
Auto Login and Handover
Auto login refers to the ability to log on to more than one system, enabling you
to use the same handset on up to 10 different systems. If a handset is
subscribed to two or more systems, you can use Auto Login type A or Auto
Login type B to change between the systems automatically:
•Auto Login type A is used if a handset is subscribed to two or more
systems. Auto Login A should only be used in separate systems without
overlaps.
•Auto Login type B is used if a handset is subscribed to two systems only.
Auto Login B can be used in separate systems which are overlapping each
other.
Note
Auto Login type B is only supported in 4020/4040/4080 Handsets.
For more information about Auto Login, refer to “Subscribing KIRK
Handsets” on page 13-3.
Handover refers to the ability to move between the coverage areas of different
radio units on the same system while talking, without interruptions in the
conversation.
KIRK SIO Application Interface
The SIO Application Interface is a communication platform allowing text
messaging between the wireless server and a handset. With the SIO API,
which is a fundamental part of all our solutions, and a third party application
program, the customer is offered a wide range of usage opportunities in a
variety of vertical markets.

2–10
Installation Prerequisites
Introduction to KIRK Wireless Server 6000
Note
Ensure that a site survey and deployment have been conducted and that the
installer has access to these plans before proceeding any further. For more
information about deployment, refer to “Deploying KIRK Wireless Server
6000” on page 3-1.
Before you start the installation you need to find the following information
and perform the following tasks:
•ARI codes (serial numbers) for the KWS6000 (see label on the rear of the
KWS unit)
•Serial numbers for handsets. Refer to “Retrieving the Serial Number of the
KIRK Handset” on page 8-10.
•AC codes (authentication codes)
The AC is a customer-defined optional subscription pin code of a
maximum of eight digits for the individual handset. The AC can be used
when connecting the handset to the KWS.
•Repeaters:
Mark each repeater with the number of the related base station. This way
you can easily configure the system on site.
•Handsets:
To use the handsets, you must first install the radio infrastructure, e.g.
base stations and repeaters to transmit and receive radio signals to and
from the handsets. There are no direct connections between the handset
and the system. For more information about base station and repeater
installation, refer to “Installing KIRK Base Station” on page 6-1 and
“Installing KIRK Repeater” on page 7-1.
•Charging battery
When charging the handset battery for the first time, leave the handset in
the charger for 14 - 16 hours to ensure that the battery is fully charged and
the handset ready for use. Refer to “Charging KIRK Handsets” on
page 8-6.

KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Installation and Configuration Guide
2–12
Deploying KIRK Wireless Server
6000
Before you install the KWS6000 solution, it is necessary to perform a complete
site survey and determine the exact location of KWS6000, base stations,
repeaters and number of handsets required.
A well planned installation should start with an RF coverage site survey. A site
survey is designed to determine the optimal location for base stations and
repeaters and the amount of wireless voice traffic to be supported by the
installation (i.e., how many handsets must maintain voice conversations at the
same time, in any given area).
3
Due to the unexpected nature of RF propagation in an indoor environment, an
actual on-site test must be performed before the installation is complete. While
an extensive guide to effective RF coverage planning is outside the scope of
this manual, the following points should be taken into consideration when
planning the site, prior to base station and repeater installation:
•The base station/repeater provides typical RF coverage of up to 50
meters/164 feet in a typical indoor office environment and up 300
meters/984 feet in an open area (line-of-sight), extending in all directions
from the base station/repeater. The exact coverage range depends on the
building architecture, wall material and surroundings.
•The wireless solution can support a maximum of 4096 handsets.
•The wireless solution supports a maximum of 255 base stations.
•Handset handover: handsets can move between coverage areas of base
stations and repeaters while receiving continuous service and maintaining
conversations in progress.
•For efficient handover of conversations between base stations, deploy base
stations with wide overlap between them (i.e., plan for some areas to be
covered by more than one base station). Overlaps are necessary to
maintain seamless handover and to establish synchronization chains. A
good example may be a cafeteria during lunch hour where temporary
3–1
KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Installation and Configuration Guide
concentrations of handsets may occur. The overlap carries the excess call
load to adjacent base station to provide uninterrupted services to
subscribers.
•Typically, installations such as office buildings, hotels and hospitals
should be equipped with base stations/repeaters on several floors to
create uniform and complete RF coverage.
•Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of base stations. In such
applications, the base stations/repeaters cover an extended range due to
the extended line-of-sight RF propagation capability.
•Ensure that there is not a residential DECT system (home DECT) on the
site.
This section provides information about:
•“Recommendations for KIRK Base Station/KIRK Repeater Placement” on
page 3-2
•“Deployment of a KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Multi-Cell” on page 3-3
Recommendations for KIRK Base Station/KIRK Repeater
Placement
•In large halls, the base station/repeater (wall) should be installed
vertically in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling.
•In corridors, the base station/repeater (wall) should be installed vertically
preferably at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the
corridor patterns. The base station/repeater should point towards the
corridor and preferably in the middle height between the floor and the
actual ceiling. In case there are high objects in the area, the base
station/repeater (wall) should be installed above those objects but still
kept distant from the ceiling.
•The repeater (ceiling) should be installed in the middle of corridors and
small rooms.
•In multi-story buildings, base stations/repeaters may be installed on
opposite sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-to-floor
coverage. The coverage design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor
propagation; each case must be verified due to variations in local
attenuation patterns.
•If the building contains a central open space area with windows to the
other areas, base stations/repeaters may be installed in this open space to
provide a good coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g.
hotels).
