DECT and DECTover IP
®
When planning a larger sized DECT network, it is advisable to take the
following points into consideration:
●
All DECTover IP base stations at a single location must be able to receive
at least one, or even better, two neighbouring base stations. Synchroni-
sation requires less signal strength than a voice connection does.
●
Synchronisation range is increased using multiple base stations. To
decrease the probability of a connection breakdown, base stations should
not be arranged in chain formation. The signal should be distributed with a
network that is as extensive as possible and where each base station is
supported by multiple synchronisation partners.
●
To re-synchronise, first wait for all current connections to be terminated.
You can operate a DECT network consisting of several remote locations
(“clusters”). A cluster is a number of DECT base stations that operate synchro-
nously with each other. No handover is possible between DECT base stations
from different clusters. You should configure a second cluster for DECT base
stations of a second location.
Setting up the WLAN Function
The Forum Base DECT IP-WLAN indoor (v1 & v2) DECTover IP base station
provides the additional function of a Wireless LAN Access Point (WLAN-AP).
WLAN refers to data transfer by means of radio waves in accordance with the
IEEE 802.11 standard. This standard enables a wireless connection to be
made to an Ethernet network (LAN) using suitably equipped user terminals.
Data transfer via radio waves is very fast. Depending on the conditions of the
operating environment, it can reach speeds of up to 54Mbit/s (gross,
802.11b/g) or higher (802.11a/b/g/n).
Forum Base DECT IP-WLAN indoor v2 (NG / New): The WLAN function and
the function of the DECTover IP Manager can be used simultaneously on the
same DECTover IP base station.
Forum Base DECT IP-WLAN indoor: The WLAN function and the function of
the DECTover IP Manager cannot be used simultaneously on the same
DECTover IP base station, so you will always need at least two DECTover IP
base stations.
WLAN settings are configured centrally for all Access Points using a separate
Web configurator, which can be found at the IP address of the DECTover IP
Manager. You can reach this address by entering the IP address of the
