screen.

•

Italicized type

prompts, confirmation messages.

• ALL CAPS BOLD TYPE indicates a status light on the unit.

Table 1: Terms

Base station The primary component of the system. The base station manages

connections with the SIP server or VoIP PBX and handles call control and audio routing for handsets.

Handset The end user’s main interface. The handset provides the user interface

and allows the end user to make and receive calls.

Charger The handset cradle. The charger provides a slot to charge the handset

battery along with a slot for charging a spare battery.

Connecting the Base Station

If your network connection does not provide Power Over Ethernet, you will need to order a standard Ethernet-to-PoE adapter. Contact customer service.

EXP1240 System Installation Guide Revision 06

1) Connect a standard Ethernet cable (Cat 5 or higher) to the Ethernet/PoE jack on the

rear of the base station. Route the cable through the channel as shown below.

Figure 3 Connecting the base station

2) Connect the other end of the cable to your TCP/IP network.

When the base station powers on, the STATUS LED on the front briefly lights orange and then turns off while it initializes and connects to the network. After the base station successfully initializes and connects to the network, the LED lights green and remains

steady on.

Charging the battery

1) Install the handset battery as shown below. (For more detailed instructions, see the End

User’s Guide.)

Figure 7: Installing the handset battery

Remove the battery cover from the back

of the handset.

Insert the bottom of the battery into the compartment. Lay the battery down and

push it gently until it snaps into place.

2) Use the charger AC adapter to connect the

charger's AC jack to a standard 120V AC power outlet.

3) Place the handset in the charger with the display

facing forward. The HANDSET STATUS LED should turn on; if it doesn’t, reseat the handset or try

plugging the AC adapter into a different outlet.

Replace the battery

cover and slide it up

into place.

Figure 8: Inserting the handset

into the charger

4) Place the spare battery (if available) in the back

section of the charger; the BATTERY STATUS LED should turn on. (Pull the battery latch back

slightly to fit the battery in the slot.)

Charge each battery completely (about 10 hours) before using it.

Powering on the Handset

To power up the handset, press End. The handset searches for the base station or multicell chain it is registered to and connects to the unit with the strongest signal.

To power down the handset, press and hold End until the display turns off (about 4 seconds).

EXP1240 System Installation Guide Revision 06

Initial System Configuration

This guide assumes that the EXP1240 system will be installed in a network environment where the following servers are already installed and functioning:

• SIP server/VoIP PBX

• DHCP server

• NTP server

• TFTP server. This server must contain the following folders:

∘

LOG:

for SIP log files. Base stations must be able to write to this folder which

should be created in the TFTP server’s working directory.

∘

{firmware path}

page 41)

: for firmware update files (see Setting Up Firmware Folders,

• Syslog server. Base stations must be able to write to this server.

• DNS server Only required if you are using host names to access network nodes

There are some general server and base station requirements:

• The SIP server/VoIP PBX, NTP, and Syslog servers must be available at all times.

• If the base stations acquire their IP addresses dynamically (rather than being

statically assigned), then the DHCP server must be available at all times.

• The TFTP server must be available for firmware updates and SIP log uploads.

• All base stations must be on the same subnet.

• Servers can reside on the same machine.

Table 4 shows a top-level summary of the steps needed to configure the base station to operate in a single-cell system. You will use these same steps to configure the first base station in a multi-cell system.

Using the Base Station Interface

Each base station has a built-in HTTP server that controls the configuration interface. To open the web page:

1) Open a web browser window and type the IP address of the base station in the address

bar. If you don't know the base station's IP address, try one of the following:

∘ Use the IP Search function on the handsets. On any handset, press Menu (

), then enter

MAC and IP addresses of all base stations within range. Find the MAC address of the base station in the list to determine its IP address. To exit IP Search, press End ( ) twice.
