1Introduction
The base st ation is only intended for use with a wire -
less server . The base st ation is not intended to be
connected directly to the PSTN network. The base
st ation is designed with two internal antennas and
support s antenna diversity. The base station is also
able to carry out handover between the RF channels
under the same base st ation, and handles four wire -
less speech channels simult aneously. The base st ati -
on is able to frame synchronise with other base st ati -
ons under the same Wireless Server.
T ransmission lenght is up to 1.2 miles on a twisted
p air (in one building), e.g. cat.4, between the base
st ation and wireless server . The base st ation is also
power supplied from this connection (maximum sup -
ply 1.5 W). The radius of coverage is up to 1960 feet
with a handset in free sight. It is possible to connect
a maximum of 8 base st ations to a wireless server
without an exp ansion board, 16 base st ations with an
expansion board and 32 with a linked solution.
2 Inst allation
First you have to determine where to inst all the base
st ation to have the right coverage. The average
coverage within buildings is 246 feet. The coverage
depends on the construction of the building, archite -
cture and choice of building material. Y ou may have
to use the base st ation coverage determination kit
(Diagnostic Tooll) to optimize your inst allation. This
Diagnostic Tool, consist s of a base st ation which has
no need for a wireless server . It can easily be
moved around in the building and 1 to 8 handset s
can be connected.
Pull the a/b wire from your inst allation through the
wall suspension and then mount the wall suspension
on the wall.
Connect the a/b wire to the plug at the rear of the
base st ation, using the 2 inner connectors of the
plug.

If you need to remove the base st ation please sep a-
rate it from the wall suspension with a gentle push of
a screwdriver.
Click the base st ation on to the wall suspension.
Af ter the wireless server is powered up again a cable
lenght measurement is needed in order to find the
correct Cable Delay Value (CDV).
NOTE!
Cable dimensions min. as A WG 26.
