.
*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

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.
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 Installation and Configuration Guide
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:
• The base station operates on standard twisted pair ethernet cable - e.g. minimum Cat.5e - to
prevent disturbances from other equipment.
• Maximum power supply consumption is 3.0W (IEEE 802.3af class 1 device).

Chapter 5: Installing Spectralink Repeater
This section provides information about the repeater and how to unpack and install it. Installing
repeaters requires a software installation as well as a hardware installation.
Before you install the equipment, ensure that a site planner defines the location of the repeaters.
For outdoor installations, the following items should be present in every box containing a
Spectralink Repeater:
• Spectralink Repeater
• Mounting template for indoors installation
• Two mounting screws and anchorsi
Spectralink Repeater Description
Spectralink Repeater Provides DECT Coverage to Spectralink Handsets
The Spectralink Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a
Spectralink solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, however it
provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and thereby increases the coverage
area established with the Spectralink Base Stations.The repeaters are mainly used in areas with
limited traffic.
The Spectralink Repeater is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not
need physical connection to the Spectralink Wireless Server, which makes it easy to install. The
repeaters can be supplied with an external antenna making it possible to create radio coverage in
a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation.
The RF communication is provided according to the band standard at the site:
Caution
For outdoor installations you need to mount the Spectralink Repeater in spots to prevent
influenze from wether conditions.
Note
The repeater is also termed by some manufacturers as the WRFP (Wireless Radio Fixed Part).
