Basics about the Installation
Before starting the configuration of a DECT system, the circumstances have to be defined for the
installation of the individual components.
Installation Location of COMfort DECT Base 128
Only a connection to an internal S
0
port of the PBX is necessary for the installation. A power supply
with 230 V is not necessary. Please pay attention when installing the base: An optimal position for
the spread of radio waves has to be selected. Basement rooms are generally unfavorable for the
installation of a DECT base station. The base station should be installed higher than 2 m above
ground otherwise walking persons would influence the radio signals. But it should not be installed
too high, especially e.g. if there is a ceiling with steel beams. If an outside area should also be
reached, seasonal condition changes have to be taken seriously into account (e.g. leaves on trees
or bushes).
Installation Location of COMfort DECT Repeater
For the installation of the repeater a 230 V mains outlet with protective earth and the reception area
of the base station or another repeater have to be considered. A repeater must always be within the
reception area of the base station of another repeater. No more than three repeaters may be cas-
caded (
pic. 1 on page 11 ). For bridging longer distances the use of a COMfort DECT Repeater XA
with a connection of the COMfort DECT Antenna is recommended ( pic. 2 ). Thanks to its help dis-
tances of up to 1000 m can be bridged (outside of closed rooms and at line of sight).
