Wireless - DECT 2 - 1117
Repeater
The Repeater allows extended coverage for low traffic areas not covered by a Base Station. Sufficient
coverage for the main traffic area should be provided by the Base Station. An external antenna can also
be connected to extend the coverage area. Local power is required for the Repeater (within six feet) and
must be synchronized with a Base Station in the zone providing coverage. The Repeater is
synchronized with the Base Station using the Repeater Programming Kit that provides an RS232 cable
to connect the Repeater to a PC. A Windows application is used to define the Base Station that should
be synchronized with the Repeater. Each Repeater can support two simultaneous Wireless – DECT
traffic channels at 32 Kbs. As the Repeater is paired with the Base Station, these are not additional
channels, but are available to handle calls from the Base Station as the user moves out of range from
the Base Station to the Repeater area. Repeaters should be placed a minimum of 75 feet line of sight
between each other to prevent problems with the channels in use.
Conditions

