The following is an overview of the system capacity of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500
.
*If secure RTP is enabled, the maximum number of simultaneous calls decreases to 24.
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 controls the wireless infrastructure. It manages media
resources, base stations, repeaters and the IP interface to the call handler.
The communication protocol between the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and the call handler
is a SIP line interface.
A Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is installed directly on the LAN and must be managed as part
of the corporate network.
Wireless Bands
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 or DECT 6.0
• SAM DECT (1910-1930Mhz), referred to as DECT IG9
The wireless band used by a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 solution is determined by the base
stations and handsets ordered with the solution.

Spectralink Media Resource
The media resource is a print board that is placed within the same rack next to the Spectralink
IP-DECT Server 6500 board. Up to 2 media resources can be placed in the same rack that houses
the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board.
The media resource performs media conversion between the call handler and the Spectralink
IP-DECT Server 6500 and is the media termination point for incoming and outgoing calls.
Each Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 contains one built in media resource. The Spectralink
IP-DECT Server 6500 can support a total of 32 media resources. Each media resource adds 32
voice channels. The maximum number of simultaneous calls for a fully loaded system is 1024
calls at the same time. If secure RTP is enabled, however, the number of voice channels
supported by each media resource decreases to 24.
Spectralink Base Station
The base stations are positioned in the area to create coverage for DECT handset’s ability to make
and receive calls and messages. The base station contains internal antennas and has 12
channels. One channel is used for synchronization and 11 channels can be used simultaneously
as speech channels. 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. This is known as seamless handover.
LAN transmission length is up to 100 meters/329 feet according to IEEE 802.3u on a twisted pair
cable, minimum cat.5e. The base station can be powered by a power supply or by PoE. 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.
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 online
Deployment Guide.
Spectralink Repeater
The repeater can be used to extend the coverage area in a wireless solution. 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 3 repeaters.
Spectralink Handset
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.
Page 13

14215700 Version 3.0
April, 2014 11
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 supports up to 4096 registered handsets.
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 15 different systems. If a handset is subscribed to two or more systems, you can
use Auto Login.
• Auto Login is used if a handset is subscribed to two or more systems.
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.

Spectralink Base Stations and Spectralink Repeaters
Environmental Requirements
• Avoid installing base stations and repeaters on large concrete or marble columns because
these columns affect radio coverage. If possible, place the base station a minimum of one
meter/3.3 feet from these types of columns.
• Do not install a base station or repeater with the antenna housings near metal objects. Be
careful not to damage existing wiring or panels.
• Do not position base stations and repeaters in ducts, plenums, or hollow spaces used to
transport environmental air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a
suspended ceiling having lay-in panels. When you need more than one base station in a cell
to meet traffic requirements, position the base stations at the same cell center.
• Keep the base station and repeater away from steel constructions.
• Do not position base stations and repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the
base station a minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these types of surfaces.
• Do not position base station and repeaters behind furniture.
• Only position base stations and repeaters where the signal is needed.

• The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and 104°F.
• The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
• Minimum distance between two base stations varies depending on material and construction
of buildings, but there must always be synchronization chains and radio coverage overlap
between the two base stations or handover between radio units. The time it takes a person to
cross the common coverage area must be 10 seconds or more, as the handset needs time to
scan for an alternative base station.
Electrical Requirements for Base Station
The following electrical requirements must be met:

Environmental requirements
• Avoid installing repeaters on large concrete or marble columns because these columns affect
radio coverage. If possible, place the base station a minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these
types of columns.
• Do not install a repeater with the antenna housings near metal objects. Be careful not to
damage existing wiring or panels.
• Do not position repeaters in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used to transport environmental
air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having
lay-in panels.
• Keep the repeater away from steel constructions.
• Do not position repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the base station a
minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these types of surfaces.
• Do not position repeaters behind furniture.
• Only position repeaters where the signal is needed.
• The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.
• The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and 104°F.
• The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
For best RF coverage, the repeater must be mounted vertically on walls. The antennas must
always be kept perpendicular to the floor.
Note
The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.
Note
The repeater can be registered on the system 1) when placed within the coverage area of a
base station 2) when placed within the coverage area of an already-installed repeater or 3)
when placed outside the coverage area using an external antenna.
Caution
The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If the repeater is placed
upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is decreased by 40 - 50% and it might not
transmit or receive effectively.

Programming the Spectralink Repeater with the ServiceTool
The ServiceTool is the tool you access from your desktop and use for repeater programming,
handset adjustment and software download to the handset and repeater.
The ServiceTool identifies the type of repeater, and with this software it is possible to program the
Spectralink Repeater to connect to the Spectralink DECT Radio Infrastructure solutions.
Before you start programming the repeater, ensure that the repeater is connected to the computer
and the mains.
In a multi cell solution, the numbering of the base stations and repeaters has to follow the
numbering in Appendix 1.
Note
Repeater and base station numbers must not be the same. Neither can the repeater have a
number similar to another base station or another repeater in a situation where common
overlap is present between the actual units (Numbers with red colour show where numbering
could be identical between different units). If this occurs, handover between the different units
is not possible.

For more information about programming the repeater with the ServiceTool, refer to the Help File
in the ServiceTool. The ServiceTool is to be downloaded from www.spectralink.com.
Use of Spectralink Repeater With External Antenna
If radio coverage between a base station and a repeater is not needed, it is possible to
synchronize between the radio units using a repeater with external antenna.
Figure 14 Use of Repeaters
The distance from the repeaters without external antenna to the base station must correspond to
a RSSI loss of maximum 25dB.
Be aware that inside the area named “radio link” there is no radio coverage, and therefore a
wireless handset cannot be used in this area.
The distance between the base station and the repeater with external antenna depends on the
type of antenna used as well as on the signal attenuation created by surroundings such as
buildings, trees, etc.
Synchronization Ways
The repeater with external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed to obtain synchronization on
two radio units (base station or repeater).
If a situation occurs where the primary sync for some reason breaks down, the repeater will obtain
sync on the alternative sync.
Be aware that the primary sync has priority; the alternative sync is only in use as long as the
primary sync is down.
Note
For programming the repeater you also need the programming software (ServiceTool) and the
power supply for the repeater. The ServiceTool is not part of the Programming Kit Repeater
but can be downloaded from www.Spectralink.com. The power supply for the repeater is to be
ordered separately (Part no. 84642602).

Chapter 6: Basic Network Configuration
This section provides you with information on basic network configuration. Basic network settings
can be derived from a DHCP server or entered manually through TCP/IP Setup.
Using DHCP the device requests and obtains an available IP address from a DHCP server. The
device also obtains other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, DNS server,
Time server and other IP parameters from the DHCP server.
Using manual TCP/IP Setup the IP addresses and other networking parameters are entered
manually through the web based Administration Page. The static IP addresses are unique,
provided and managed by your system administrator.
Recommended Network Configuration
When configuring a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Solution, it is strongly recommended to
configure:
• Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 using static IP address
• Media resources using DHCP
• Base stations using DHCP
If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Solution is configured as recommended above, it is
possible to assign options to the DHCP server making it extremely easy to configure all media
resources and base stations.
If the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is configured using DHCP, it is necessary to assign a
reservation for the device on the DHCP server.
Note
When using DHCP on base stations and media resources, the Spectralink IP-DECT Server
6500 must have either a static IP address or IP address reservations assigned to the DHCP
server.
Note
When the Spectralink Wireless devices are set up to DHCP, you need to use UPnP to
discover the Wireless devices. The devices will appear under Network and Other Devices as
“<device name>-<Serial number> “, for example, Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500-8442621
or MR6500-84532341.

Deployment of a Multi-Cell Solution
This section contains deployment information specific to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500.
For general deployment information, refer to the Deployment Guide.
Sync over Air
As a user moves from one base station radio coverage area to another, the call must be handed
over to the next radio unit. To create handover between radio units it is necessary to establish
synchronization chains. If the synchronization between radio units is lost, then handover is not
possible and ongoing calls will be terminated.
Synchronization Chains Considerations
Certain rules must be taken into consideration when establishing synchronazation chains:
Note
The LED will not be green until the base stations have been configured.
Note
Each base station must be placed within the radio coverage area of at least one other base
station or repeater (radio units).
Page 52
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Installation and Configuration Guide
14215700 Version 3.0
April, 2014 50
• The distance over which synchronization can take place is limited to a distance similar to a
loss of max. 25 dB. If the loss of signal is higher than 25 dB, there is no guarantee that
synchronization is stable.
• It is recommended that a base station synchronizes with at least two other radio units and that
an alternative sync way is defined to ensure system redundancy. If the primary sync way is not
working, then the alternative sync way takes over and the synchronization chain is not broken.
• Synchronization chains for the IP-DECT Server 6500 Solution can be made with base stations
and repeaters.
• As you can only configure a repeater to synchronize on one radio ID, it is not possible to define
alternative sync ways for repeaters.
• As the IP-DECT Server 6500 uses the DECT interface to synchronize on, one base station is
configured as the Sync Master.
Examples of Synchronization Chains
Sync Chain With One Sync Master (Primary Sync Ways)
Figure 25 Synchronization Chain
• The synchronization chain must always overlap with the base station
to sync on.
• No.0 is the Sync Master (can be numbered 0-255).
• Other radio units are connected to the Sync Master through the
synchronization chain.
• If one of the radio units in the synchronization chain is not working,
then the synchronization chain is broken and the system will be
unstable.

Chapter 10: Spectralink Handset
Registration
This section provides information about handset registration. You must register and subscribe a
handset before you can use it.
When registering handsets you enter information about the handsets settings (such as; the
handsets serial number (IPEI), name etc.) in the system database. When subscribing handsets
you subscribe a registered handset to the system for usage. If the handset is not registered in the
system database, subscription of the handset is not possible.
Registering Spectralink Handsets
To register handsets you use the web based Administration Page of the Spectralink IP-DECT
Server 6500.
Each handset in the wireless solution must be programmed with the serial number (IPEI) before
it can operate. This serial number must be registered in the web based Administration Page of the
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500. Serial numbers are a unique fingerprint of each handset. The
serial number is programmed into the handset during the manufacturing process and cannot be
changed by field personnel.
1 Click Users and then click List Users.
Note
This section only describes how to register handsets on the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500.
You also need to register the users on the call handler. For registering users on the call
handler, refer to the call handler user guide.
Note
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 does not provide any service to a handset whose
serial number is not registered on the web based Administration Page.
