Chapter 2: About DECT

DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. DECT is the standard for short-range cordless communications developed by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI): ETSI EN 300 175-1. DECT is used in all countries in Europe and in most of Asia, Australia, South America and
North America. DECT is a low power technology and can be used in radio sensitive environments. Both
handsets and base stations have an average power output of 10mW, but can deliver a burst power output of 250mW.
Note:
The entire Spectralink 7000 Portfolio is built on DECT technology.

DECT Frequency Bands

The following frequency bands are dedicated to DECT:
EMEA, Australia & New Zealand: 1G8: 1880–1900 MHz
South America (SAM): 1G9: 1910–1930 MHz
USA & Canada: 1G9: 1920–1930 MHz (DECT 6.0)
Note:
Because DECT has its own dedicated frequency band, it is not subject to interference from other radio transmitters such as GSM phOne, Bluetooth, microwave ovens and widely used Wi-Fi equipment.

Spectralink DECT Media Resource

The Spectralink DECT Media Resource can be used with Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
The Spectralink DECT Media Resource performs media conversion between the call handler and the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One and is the media termination point for incoming and outgoing calls.
If used with Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500: The Spectralink DECT Media Resource is a print board that is placed within the same cabinet next to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board. Up to 2 Spectralink DECT Media Resources can be placed in the same cabinet that houses the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board. If more media resources are needed, it is necessary to acquisition a media resource cabinet. The media resource cabinet comes with one media resource print board and the possibility of installing up to two more media resource print boards.
If used with Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One: Acquisition of a media resource cabinet is required. The media resource cabinet comes with one media resource print board and the possibility of installing up to two more media resource print boards. Each Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One contains 32 built in media channels if the Mandatory Base License ARI 150 Users 64 Base Stations 32 Media Channels | Virtual IP-DECT Server One License is installed. The Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One supports a total of 1024 media channels – up to 31 media resource print boards (11 cabinets in total).
Each Spectralink DECT Media Resource adds 32 media channels. The maximum number of simultaneous calls for a fully loaded system is 1024 calls at the same time. Depending on codec choice, the number of media channels per Media Resource card can vary from 12 -
32. G.726 allows for 32 duplex traffic channels as this codec requires no processing and is
routed directly to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station. Other codecs such as G.711 or G.729 must be converted to G.726 before routed further on to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station and this affects the total number of available media channels on the Spectralink DECT Media Resource, lowering the number of media channels down to 12 if all calls utilize the G.729 codec.
The Spectralink DECT Media Resource connects directly with the LAN and must operate in conjunction with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One. If using sites, the Spectralink DECT Media Resources can be placed at different locations.

Spectralink DECT Repeater

The Spectralink DECT Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a wireless Spectralink DECT solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, however, it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 23
thereby increases the coverage area established with the Spectralink IP-DECT/Digital DECT Base Stations/Spectralink IP-DECT Servers 200/400.
Note:
Both the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 and Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 are Spectralink IP-DECT Servers with a built-in Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station.
The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The Spectralink DECT Repeater is available with either 2 or 4 traffic channels. It is wireless and does not need physical connection to the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One, making it very 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 base station/server 200/400 can support up to 3 repeaters.

External Antenna

Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations, Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 and Spectralink DECT Repeaters can be equipped with an external antenna using a specially designed connection cable between the external antenna and the host.
The external antenna is highly directional and used with Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations or the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 for added coverage in complex environments or to link up with remote areas. External antennas can also be used with Spectralink DECT Repeaters to link up with remote areas where wiring between the server and base station is difficult or impossible.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 24
Note:
When used with a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 or Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station, the external antenna always use the same channel as the host and provides full coverage for handsets.
When used with a Spectralink DECT Repeater, the external antenna always use a channel different from the host and only provides a link to the main coverage area–no speech coverage.
The range of the host (on base station and server) is reduced when the external antenna is connected.

Chapter 6: Installation Prerequisites

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, see the Synchronization and Deployment Guide for the Spectralink IP­DECT Server 400/6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One or the IP-DECT Server 200 Deployment and Installation Guide depending on your installation.
Before you start the installation, you need to find the following information and perform the following tasks:
ARI for the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One:
For more information, see Identifying ARI on Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT
Server One.
Serial numbers for handsets:
For more information, see Identifying IPEI on Spectralink Handset.
AC (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 server.
Repeaters:
Mark each repeater with the number of the related base station (or Spectralink IP­DECT Server 200/400). 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.
Charging battery:
When charging the handset battery for the first time, leave the handset in the charger for 14 to 16 hours to ensure that the battery is fully charged and the handset ready for use. For more information about the handset, refer to the user guide available online at http://support.spectralink.com/products.

Chapter 7: About ARI and IPEI
Identification
All Spectralink DECT Handsets and all Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One have unique identification numbers.
This is needed in order for:
The handsets to know which Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One installation they belong to.
The Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One to know which handsets that are subscribed to it.
A handset uses an International Portable Equipment Identifier, also called IPEI number, for handset identification and subscription to a Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
A Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One uses an Access Right Identity number, also called ARI number, for server identification.
When an IPEI number of a handset is linked to a Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One, the handset is subscribed. There is a record in the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One holding information about all the handsets being subscribed to it. This record is subdivided into User profiles, often referred to as just a User. Each User must hold
information about extension number, the handset’s IPEI number, and its registration
credentials for the PBX. This information is used to link the subscribed handset to the PBX which is the same as a line registration. A Users profile holds subscription data and registration data. For more information, see Registering Users and Subscribing Spectralink
DECT Handsets.

Identifying IPEI on Spectralink Handset

You can identify the unique IPEI number on a handset in two ways:
From the handset: Menu> Status> General
From label by removing the battery cover and battery
For more information about the handset, refer to the user guide available online at http://support.spectralink.com/products.

Chapter 11: Deploying Spectralink
Virtual IP-DECT Server One and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource on VMware ESXi
Below you will find information about deploying the following virtual machines:
Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One
Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource
The Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One is a multi-cell solution, that is distributed as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) file. The Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource is distributed in the
same Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) file as the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.The OVA file is easily deployed on a VMware vSphere infrastructure or directly on an ESXi host. Future updates can be applied directly in the web-based Administration Page of the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource using a new OVA file.
Note:
It is assumed, that users have a running VMware vSphere solution or ESXi host and a solid knowledge of handling and deploying OVA files. For more information about VMware vSphere and OVA files, see VMware documentation.
Note:
Creation of a Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource with the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One is optional. A media resource will increase the number of simultaneous voice calls supported by a stand-alone server.
The Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One with the Mandatory Base License ARI 150 Users 64 Base Stations 32 Media Channels | Virtual IP-DECT Server One License installed will itself provide 32 internal media channels.
The Spectralink DECT Media Resource can also be used with the Spectralink Virtual IP­DECT Server One. For more information about installment, see Installing Spectralink IP-
DECT Server 6500 and Spectralink DECT Media Resource.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 71

Deploying a Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One (or Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource)

1 Download the OVA file of the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One from
http://support.spectralink.com/products.
2 Deploy the OVA file using the VMware vSphere / ESXi management interface. When
deployed and powered up, the vSphere / ESXi virtual machine summary will show the IP address and hostname of the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
3 During the deployment of the ova file, the installer will have the option to continue the
installation as a IP-DECT Server One or a Media Resource. Continue as IP-DECT Server One is business as usual.
4 (Conditional) If deploying as a Media Resource.
Starting as Media Resource enables the setup to continue as a Media Resource with no internal media channels installed. The "Server licensed Media Resource" must be configured as usual (pointing to an IP-DECT Server One). On the IP-DECT Server One web GUI the new "Server licensed Media Resource" will show up as a shared Media Resource. The internal media resource in the server and all connected "Server licensed Media Resources" will share the number of media channels that is given from the server license.
In a Redundancy setup the number of media channels should be the same in the primary and backup server. A "Server licensed Media Resource" can default handle up to 96 media channels (if license on server allows). This setting is depending on hardware performance on the computer that runs the virtual machines and which codecs are in use. Possible settings are 32, 64, 96 and 128 channels and can be configured from web GUI on the hosting server.
Beside continuing as a “Server licensed Media Resource” during deployment of the .ova file, it is also possible to set Admin password and some network settings.
5 Optionally (only relevant to ESXi 6.7 + hosts), upgrade the VM Compatibility to VM
version 15 and set the Guest OS Version to Other 4.x or later Linux (64-bit) (in Settings> VM Options> General Options).
6 Use the IP address/hostname to log in to the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server
One using a browser. Change of password is required.
When initially deployed, the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One includes a demo mode license with these features available:
Residential ARI
4 users
4 simultaneous calls
4 base stations
Skype for Business interoperability

Numbering of Base Stations/Server 200/400 and Repeaters in a Normal Configuration

Note:
Repeater and base station/server RPNs must not be the same. Also, in a situation where common overlap is present between the actual units, a repeater cannot have an RPN that is similar to that of a base station/server or another repeater. If this occurs, handover between the different units is not possible.
First Repeater
RPN of base station/server 200/400 + 64
Base to synchronize on: RPN of base station/server
Second Repeater
RPN of base station/server 200/400 + 128
Base to synchronize on: RPN of base station/server
Third Repeater
RPN of base station/server 200/400 + 192
Base to synchronize on: RPN of base station/server
Below is an example of base station and repeater numbering in a normal configuration.

Using the Spectralink DECT Repeater with External Antenna

If coverage is needed in a remote area, synchronization can be established between the main system and a repeater by use of an external antenna. The external antenna establishes a radio link between the main system and a Spectralink DECT Repeater.
Note:
Only the Spectralink external antenna (part no. 02319507 - including 1 m connection cable) is approved along with the Spectralink DECT Repeater. The external antenna is delivered with a 1 m connection cable. The connection cable is also available in 7.5 m (part no. 14002706).
The Spectralink DECT Repeater is automatically configured to the external antenna when connected.
Below is an example of using a Spectralink DECT Repeater with external antenna.
A repeater is placed at a remote location and a base station is placed at the main location. They are too far away to allow the repeater to extend the coverage of the base station. Therefore, an external antenna can be used to establish a connection between the two end points. As the external antenna is a high gain directional antenna, it must point towards the base station you want to link with.
The radio link way must be stable and free of moving objects. The RSSI level of the main system at the Spectralink DECT Repeater placed remotely must not be lower than 75.
Note:
Inside the area named "radio link" there is no radio coverage for handsets.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 91
If a situation occurs where the primary synchronization for some reason breaks down, the Spectralink DECT Repeater will obtain synchronization on the alternative synchronization source.

Alternative Synchronization Ways

The Spectralink DECT Repeater with or without external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed to obtain synchronization on two radio units (base station, wireless server 200/400 or repeater).
Note:
The primary synchronization source has priority; the alternative synchronization source is only in use as long as the primary synchronization source is down.

Chapter 14: Using Spectralink IP-DECT
Server 200/400 and Spectralink IP­DECT Base Station with External Antenna
Note:
Only the Spectralink external antenna (part no. 02319507) is approved along with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station. The external antenna is delivered with a 1 m connection cable. The connection cable is also available in 7.5 m (part no. 14002706).
The devices are automatically configured to the external antenna when connected.
First example (see illustration below) is an example of using a Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station with external antenna.
The 2 base stations are too far apart to maintain full speech coverage between them. An external antenna can be used on either side to create an overlap which allows for full speech coverage anywhere between the two base stations. Note that the range of RFP A is reduced when connected with an external antenna. RFP A and the external antenna also operates on the same channel as opposed to a repeater which always operates on a channel that is different from its host.
Second example (see illustration below) is an example of using Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations, both having external antennas. This scenario allows for coverage over very long distances.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 93
Third example (see illustration below) is an example of using external antenna only on a Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station or Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 with built-in antenna turned off (requires Multi-cell | IP-DECT Server 400 License on the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400).
Fourth example (see illustration below) is an example of using a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 (single cell solution) with external antenna.

Fifth example (see illustration below) is an example of using a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 with external antenna.
How to Connect External Antenna to Device
Connect the external antenna cable to the antenna connector on the rear side of the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations and Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 and in the same way on the external antenna.
Below is an illustration of the antenna connector. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic carefully.

Chapter 16: Configuring the Servers

This section provides you with information on basic network configuration of the following solutions:
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400/6500
Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One
Spectralink DECT Media Resource
Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resource
web-based Administration Page
Note:
Configuration of Spectralink DECT Media Resources and Sites is not relevant to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400.
Configuration of Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations is not relevant to the Spectralink IP- DECT Server 200.
Configuration of Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resources is only relevant to the Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
The web-based Administration Page is used to configure the different components of the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One solution.
Basic network settings can be obtained the following ways:
From a DHCP server
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.
Entered manually through web-based Administration Page> Configuration> General> General Configuration page.
Using manual network configuration, the IP-addresses and other networking parameters are entered manually through the web-based Administration Page.

Recommended Network Configuration

When configuring a Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One solution, Spectralink recommends doing it the following way:
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 or Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One using static IP address
This is to avoid sudden change of the IP address which would temporarily affect all base stations and thus the entire installation.
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 using static IP address
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 99
Spectralink DECT Media Resources or Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resources using static IP address
Like with the servers, this is to avoid sudden change of the IP address.
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations using DHCP
This makes it easy to manage many base stations without having to keep track of many IP addresses.
Note:
When the base stations are set up to DHCP, you can use UPnP to discover all the Wireless devices on the local network. In Windows Explorer the devices will appear under Network and Other Devices as “<device name>-<Serial number/UUID> “ (e.g. KWS6500- 8442621, MR6500-84532341 and IP-DECT-89fed27f-7c47-43f5-8347­cb854cedc538).
Note:
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations, Spectralink DECT Media Resources and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Media Resources can be managed from the web-based Administration Page of the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
If the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One solution is configured as recommended above, you can assign options to the DHCP server making it extremely easy to configure all media resources and base stations. If the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP­DECT Server One is configured using DHCP, it is necessary to assign a reservation for the device on the DHCP server.

Assigning DHCP Server Options

Note:
Not relevant to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200.
This section provides you with information on basic network configuration of the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One solution and the web-based Administration Page.
You can provide information about the static IP address of Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500 and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One in the DHCP server through DHCP options. When defining the IP address of the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One in the DHCP server, all media resources and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations are configured automatically.
The media resources and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations will include a Vendor Class Identifier option (60) with the value KIRK.IP6000 and a request for the Vendor Specific Information option (43) in the initial DHCP Discover request.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 100
In the DHCP offer message, it will then expect the address of the Spectralink IP­DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One location in the Vendor Specific Information option (43), sub-option 43 encapsulated as a string type parameter.
On a Windows Server 2012 DHCP Management Console, the following steps will configure the correct DHCP option for a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500:
1 Right-click IPv4/IPv6, and click Define Vendor Classes....
2 Add a class new class:
Display name: IP-DECT
Description: Spectralink IP-DECT
