Installing the Base Station
Below you will find information about installing the base station.
Note:
Before you install the equipment, ensure that a site planner defines the location of the
base stations.
Before you begin the installation, determine the position of the base station for best coverage. The average coverage within buildings is 75 meters/245 feet.
The coverage depends on the construction of the building, architecture, and the choice of
building materials.
Frequency Bands
l EMEA, Australia & New Zealand: 1G8: 1880 – 1900 MHz
l South America: 1G9: 1910 – 1930 MHz
l USA & Canada: 1G9: 1920 – 1930 MHz (DECT 6.0)
Environmental Considerations
l Do not install a device near metal objects and steel constructions.
l Do not position devices in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used to transport environmentalair
except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having lay-in
panels.
l Do not position devices behind furniture.
l The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.
l The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and
104°F.
l The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
l For best RF coverage, the device must be mounted vertically on walls.
Power Requirements for the Base Station
The Spectralink Digital DECT Base Station is powered directly via the Spectralink DECT Server
2500/8000 Base Station Interface Card (BIF card).
