IP DECT Gateway Information
With IP Office R8, Avaya introduces a number of updates for the IP Office DECT R4 solution. The new IP DECT
Gateway allows connecting digital base stations to the DECT R4 solution with the intention to leverage existing
4-wire cabling, for example when replacing an older PBX with IP Office.
In addition, Avaya is introducing new versions of the IP Base Stations (IPBS) and the Avaya Inbuilding Wireless
Server (AIWS).
The new Avaya IP DECT Gateway solution consists of new digital DECT base stations connected to an Avaya IP
DECT Gateway.
The solution extends the existing Avaya DECT R4 solution by making use of 4-wire UPN-cables. The Avaya IP
DECT Gateway will enable digital DECT base stations to act as additional radios that belong to an Avaya DECT
R4 system. The IP DECT Gateway will be connected to the LAN and communicate to the IP Office, AIWS,
Chargers and any IPBS via IP.
Standalone Avaya IP DECT Gateway installations and mixed installations with DECT R4 IP base stations are
possible.
DECT R4 IP Base Stations and Digital Base Stations use the same housing and accordingly the same mounting
options can be used.
Major highlights of the Avaya IP DECT Gateway solution include:
·
Up to 16 digital base stations can be connected to an Avaya IP DECT Gateway appliance
·
Up to two IP DECT Gateways are supported per IP Office; stackable solution (multiple IP DECT GW
appliances operating in one IP DECT system)
·
Remote power feeding of digital base stations via UPN-ports
·
Synchronization of attached digital base stations via UPN cables (including automatic cable delay
measurement).
·
Over-the air synchronization master for IP base stations. Master sync or backup sync functionality can
reside in the gateway appliance.
·
Seamless roaming and handover, also with IP base station on same site
·
IP DECT master functionality can reside in an IP DECT Gateway
·
Remote configuration and software upgrade of IP DECT Gateway appliance (web-based)
·
Remote SW update of digital base stations connected to the Gateway appliance
·
Support of same wireless handset types as in a pure IP DECT R4 installation only using IP Base
Stations (3720, 3725, 3740, 3749, 3
rd
party CAP/GAP handsets providing same level of functionality as
current DECT R4 IP DECT solution)
·
Provision of same AIWS functions as with a pure IP DECT R4 installation only using IP Base Stations
·
Configuration option for reuse of Avaya’s UPN-repeaters: this means a configuration option for each
base station port to disable the automatic cable delay measurement and instead manually set a cable
delay for that specific port
