Preparing to Use the Multi-Cell System

Administrator’s Guide for DECT Multi-Cell System

Assigning the Device Role

All W80B devices are configured as the role of "base station" out of box. To set up the DECT multi-cell system, at least one device must be configured as DM.

The W80B device supports the following three roles:

l Base: The device only works as a base station. You can configure the IP address of the DM via the web user interface

or RPS.

l DM: The device only works as a DECT manager. l DM-Base: The device works as a DECT manager and a base station. Only in this mode can you register a handset to

the DECT manager.

The following table describes how to change the role of the device using the device key on the front side.

The device returns to the switching mode after the three LEDs fast flash green three times.

Note: In the Base role, you can press the device key on the W80B three times quickly in one second to switch to the DM-Base role.

When you change the role of the device, the time interval between each button press should be less than 3 seconds. The device will return to the original role after 30 seconds of inactivity in the switching mode. The device will not reboot if you switch back to the current role.

Registering the First Handset to the W80B Device

You can quickly register a handset to a W80B device to check the IP address of the DM at the beginning of the system deployment.

Before You Begin

First Steps

l The W80B device role is DM-Base, and no handsets have been registered to the device. l Long press the device key on the W80B till the DECT LED indicator flashes to set the device to the registration

mode. You can only register one handset to the W80B using this method.

Procedure

1. When the handset prompts "Unregistered!" on its LCD screen, do one of the following:

l Press the Reg soft key on the handset to register quickly. l Press OK > Register Handset and then select the desired base to register the handset.

You need to enter the base PIN (default: 0000) after a base is found.

After the handset is registered successfully, the handset prompts “Handset Subscribed” on its LCD screen.

Tip: If the handset LCD screen does not prompt “Unregistered!”, press the OK key to enter the main menu and select Set- tings > Registration > Register Handset to register the handset.

Finding the IP Address of the W80B

After registering a handset to the W80B device, you can fast check the IP address of the device for accessing the web user interface.

Procedure

1. Press the OK key to enter the main menu, and then select Status > DM.

On the DDphone, press the OK key or navigate to Menu > Status > DM Status. The LCD screen displays the IP address of the W80B device.

Note: If the IP address of the device is assigned dynamically via your local network's DHCP server, you can also find the cur-

rent IP address on the DHCP server in the list of registered DHCP clients. The MAC address can be found on the rear of the device.

Configuring the System via Web User Interface

System settings are made via the web user interface of the W80B and cannot be changed using the handsets.

This applies in particular for:

l De-registering the handset at the phone system. l Renaming the handset. l All settings for the VoIP account used by a handset for calls. l Rebooting or restarting the base station. l Configuration of the remote phone book.

Handset-specific settings are changed on your handset individually. For example, language, wallpaper, ring tones, and volume.

Accessing Web User Interface Navigating the Web User Interface Logging out of the Web User Interface

Administrator’s Guide for DECT Multi-Cell System

Accessing Web User Interface

You can configure and manage features of the multi-cell system via the web user interface.

When configuring via the web user interface, you require a user name and password for access. For a user - who has only limited access to some settings, the default user name and password are “user” (case-sensitive). For an administrator - who has unlimited access to call features of the web user interface, the default user name and password are “admin” (case-sensitive).

Procedure

1. Open a web browser on your computer, enter the IP address into the address bar (for example, "https://192.168.0.10" or "192.168.0.10"), and then press the Enter.

2. Enter the user name and password on the login page and click Login.

Navigating the Web User Interface

When you log into the web user interface successfully, the device status is displayed on the first page of the web user interface.

The following figure is an example when you navigate to Settings > Preference:

Logging out of the Web User Interface

By default, the device will automatically log out of the web user interface after five minutes of inactivity. You can also manually log out of the web user interface.

Procedure

1. Click Logout at the top right of each web page.

Initialization Instructions

This chapter provides basic initialization instructions of devices.

Topics

Initialization Process Overview Verifying Startup

Initialization Process Overview

The initialization process of the device is responsible for network connectivity and operation of the device in your local network. Once you connect your device to the network and to an electrical supply, the device begins its initialization process.

Topics

Loading the ROM File Configuring the VLAN Querying the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server Contacting the Provisioning Server Updating Firmware Downloading the Resource Files

Loading the ROM File

The ROM file resides in the flash memory of the device. The device comes from the factory with a ROM file preloaded. During initialization, the device runs a bootstrap loader that loads and executes the ROM file.

Configuring the VLAN

If you connect the device to a switch, the switch notifies the device of the VLAN information defined on the switch (if using LLDP or CDP). The device can then proceed with the DHCP request for its network settings (if using DHCP).

Querying the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server

The device is capable of querying a DHCP server.

After establishing network connectivity, the device can obtain the following network parameters from the DHCP server during initialization:

l IP Address l Subnet Mask l Default Gateway l Primary DNS (Domain Name Server) l Secondary DNS

By default, the devices obtain these parameters from a DHCPv4. You can configure network parameters of the device manually if any of them are not supplied by the DHCP server.

Contacting the Provisioning Server

If you configure the device to obtain configurations from the provisioning server, it will be connected to the provisioning server, and then download the boot file and configuration file(s) during startup. The device will be able to resolve and update configurations written in the configuration file(s). If the device does not obtain configurations from the provisioning server, it will use the configurations stored in the flash memory.

Administrator’s Guide for DECT Multi-Cell System

Updating Firmware

If you define the access URL of firmware in the configuration file, the device will download the firmware from the provisioning server. If the MD5 value of the downloaded firmware file differs from that stored in the flash memory, the device will perform a firmware update.

You can manually upgrade the firmware if the device does not download the firmware from the provisioning server.

Downloading the Resource Files

In addition to the configuration file(s), the device may require resource files before it provides service. These resource files are optional, but if you deploy some particular features, these files are required.

Verifying Startup

After connected to the power and available network, the LAN LED indicator glows green. In the DM-Base mode, the ROLE LED indicator glows orange and the DECT LED indicator glows green.

Setting up the Base Stations

When the W80B device role is Base, the device must be registered to the DM for normal use.

In the multicast network, the DM automatically recognizes the base stations within the network. In the non-multicast network, the DM recognizes the base stations only when the IP address of DM is configured to the base stations via the web user interface or RPS.

After recognized, the base stations need to be registered, activated, and synchronized.

Managing the Connected Base Stations

You can edit the data for a base station or manage a base station that is already registered to the DM.

You can customize the following information of the connected base stations:

Item Description

Setting up the Base Stations

Base Station

Name of the base station. When added to the list, Base Station X (X ranges from 1to 30) is used as the name.

Radio Fixed Part Number. The base station identity allocated by the DECT system.

RPN

Note: This cannot be edited.

Cluster Number of the cluster to which the base station belongs.

Sync Level Sync level within the sync hierarchy.

Synchronization status of the base station.

• Offline: not available.

Status

• Deactive: available but not activated.

• Active: activated but not synchronized.

• Active and synced: activated and synchronized. Activates or deactivates the base station.

Active

Note: A base station must be active to manage calls of the connected handsets. If it is deactivated,

it will no longer connect handsets but it still stays in the list of connected base stations.

Procedure

1. You can do the following:

l Select ON or OFF to activate or deactivate the base station.

Note: Please ensure that the base station you want to deactivate is not with sync level 1. Check your sync settings

before deactivating the base station. Otherwise, your system may no longer work properly.

l Click , and enter a descriptive name, assign the cluster, and set the sync level for the base station. l Click and select OK to reboot the base station.

All existing connections managed by the base station are terminated.

l Click and select OK to delete the base station. l Click Reboot All to reboot all connected base stations.

Base Station Synchronization

Base station synchronization is the prerequisite for the functioning of the multi-cell system, inter-cell handover, and overload balancing. Overload balancing means that a handset can roam to another available base when the current base is fully loaded and cannot accept further handset connections.

Base stations can be synchronized "over the air", meaning that they are synchronized via DECT.

Note: Synchronization always refers to a cluster. In case you set up several clusters that are not synchronized with one

another, these will be no possibility of a handover or overload balancing between them.
