CTPhone 1900 System Overview
Antenna Diversity
CTPhone base stations feature four antennas which allow the system to
choose the best antenna for receiving and transmitting the strongest sig-
nal. Antenna diversity maximizes signal reception at the base station.
Co-location
Multiple base stations may be placed one meter apart in the same cover-
age area to increase traffic capacity without interference.
AC or DC Power
The base station may be powered from the CTPhone Controller or pow-
ered from AC outlets using a local power supply.
Software Download from CTPhone Controller
When needed, software upgrades to the base station are downloaded via
the CTPhone Manager software. Downloading software from the
CTPhone Controller simplifies CTPhone 1900 system administration and
eliminates the need to remove base stations for system upgrades.
System Administration
The CTPhone 1900 system includes a software program which runs under
Microsoft Windows on a Personal Computer and is used to configure
CTPhone extensions and CTPhone handset features on the CTPhone
Controller. CTPhone Manager software also runs diagnostics, and reports
alarms and traffic statistics.
CTPhone Only or Twinning
CTPhone 1900 systems may be set up to offer users a CTPhone only
option or CTPhone handsets integrated with wired phones. In the latter
case, calls to a particular extension ring the wired and CTPhone exten-
sion.
Roaming
Roaming allows a handset to make and receive calls in all cells of the
CTPhone 1900 systems in which it is programmed to operate. The hand-
set chooses the base station with the best signal for a particular call and
allocates a channel to carry it.
