KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Installation and Configuration Guide
2–4
Codec Module
It is possible to install a Codec Module in the media resource. The Codec
Module adds a number of codecs, allowing the wireless server to interface to
G.729A/G.723.1 and other codec standards.
For more information about media resources, refer to “Installing KIRK
Wireless Server 6000 and KIRK Media Resource” on page 4-1 and
“Configuring KIRK Media Resources” on page 11-1.
For more information about installing the Codec Module, refer to “Installing
KIRK Codec Module” on page 5-1.
KIRK Base Station
The base stations are positioned in the area to send and receive calls between
the wireless server and the handset. The base station contains internal
antennas and handles 11 speech channels simultaneously. A base station is
able to synchronize with other base stations. When the base station is
synchronized with other base stations, a person speaking in a handset can
move between base stations without any interference.
Transmission length is up to 100 meters/329 feet according to IEEE 802.3u on
a twisted pair cable, e.g. cat.5e. The base station is a class 1 PoE device (802.3af)
and must be powered accordingly (maximum power supply consumption
3.0W according to PoE 802.3af). The radius coverage of the base station is up
to 90 meters/295 feet indoor and up to 300 meters/984 feet outdoor, with a
handset in line-of-sight.
Coverage area decreases depending on choice of building materials and
obstructive elements. To ensure proper coverage in the areas required, it is
necessary to conduct a site survey and deployment by certified technicians.
For more information about deployment, refer to the Deployment Guide
accompanying the Deployment Kit.
For more information about the base station, refer to “Installing KIRK Base
Station” on page 6-1 and “Configuring KIRK Base Station” on page 12-1.
Note
When installing a Codec Module, the media resource only adds 24 voice
channels to the system. Adding 32 media resources with codec modules
makes it possible to have 768 calls at the same time.
