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.

Multiple Base (Multi-cell) Systems

Introduction

To install a EXP1240 system with more than one base, you must configure it as a multicell system. This section explains how to configure multi-cell systems. For detailed

information on multi-cell operation and the difference between single and multi-cell systems, see the Network Planning Guide.

Timing Levels

• In multi-cell systems, one base station serves as the primary synchronization source

for all the other base stations. This base station is considered at timing Level 0.

• Base stations at Level 1 get their timing directly from the primary base station. (These

must be in range of the primary base station.)

• Base stations at Level 2 get their timing from base stations at Level 1. Base stations at

Level 3 get their timing from base stations at Level 2, and so on.

• Level 6 is the maximum timing level.

System Chain ID and RPN

To enable base stations to recognize members of the same system, each multi-cell system requires a separate system chain ID number. All base stations that share a system chain ID will function as part of the same multi-cell system.

Within the system chain, each base station is automatically assigned an identification number. When you select a synchronization source for each base station, you will use the source's RPN to identify it.

• The system assigns the RPN based on the order in which the base stations are added

to the chain. For example, the first base station added to the chain (usually the primary) is assigned an RPN of 00, the second base is assigned an RPN of 04.

• If you want the base stations to appear in a particular sequence, add the stations to

the chain in that order.

RPN

Figure 21 shows an example of a multi-cell system, and Table 5 summarizes the parameters for this example. This information is used throughout the instructions.

Updating the Firmware

You can update the firmware on base stations and handsets remotely via TFTP.

Setting Up Firmware Folders

The TFTP server must be correctly configured before you can update the firmware on any components, and folders and firmware filenames must use specific naming conventions.

• The server must be identifiable by an URL or IP address (IPv4).

• The server must allow both transmitting and receiving on the firmware folder (so

base stations can upload copies of old firmware before updating).

• Folders in the firmware path must have or TFTP compatible names, e.g., they must not

contain spaces, question marks, colons, semicolons, commas, etc.

• In the firmware update path directory, create the directories

To finalize a firmware update, each handset must be placed in its charger. Be sure your end users return the handsets to the chargers before an update

Before starting an update, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.

• Each base station uses the DECT RF channels to download new firmware files to its

handsets, and it can only update handsets that are registered to it.

• Each update session takes approximately 3 hours, and the base station will complete a

session before starting a new one.

• A base station in a single cell system can update 10 handsets in a single session

(because there are 10 available RF channels), so Handsets 1 through 10 are updated in session 1, Handsets 11 through 20 are updated in the second session, etc.

• In a multi-cell system, each base station can update 8 handsets in a session, but all

base stations can perform update sessions at the same time. If you distribute the

Appendix B: RFPI Numbers

The RFPI is constructed from 4 different variables which make up the 10 characters (represented by N in the format

• Access Rights Class (ARC), character 1

The network identity structure used by terminals in multi-cell. Private multi-cell systems use the default value of 1.

• Equipment Installer's Code (EIC), characters 2 through 5

A preset code that allows terminals to distinguish between separate DECT networks. The minimum value is 0000; the maximum is FFFF. The default value for the EXP1240 system is 16E6.

• Fixed Part Number (FPN), characters 6 through 8:

A geographically unique identity transmitted to DECT networks to help distinguish between communications in different cells or chains. The minimum value is 001; the maximum is FFF.

0xNN,0xNN,0xNN,0xNN,0xNN

):

• Location Area Length (LAL), characters 9 and 10:

A unique code sent to the terminal during location registration to determine the size of the cell area. The minimum value is 00; the maximum is FF.

An example RFPI would be

ARC (char 1) EIC (chars 2-5) FPN (chars 6-8) LAL (chars 9-10)

1 16E6 000 FF

The values are collapsed into a single 10-character string (116E6000FF), then the string is separated into 5 pairs of 2 characters each:

Pair 1 Pair 2 Pair 3 Pair 4 Pair 5

11 6E 60 00 FF

Each pair is written as a 2-character HEX value (i.e., 0x is added to the front):

Pair 1 Pair 2 Pair 3 Pair 4 Pair 5

0x11 0x6E 0x60 0x00 0xFF

The HEX values are separated with commas, and the final result is displayed in the field as

0x11,0x6E,0x60,0x00,0xFF
