Spectralink Base Stations and Spectralink Repeaters
Environmental Requirements
•
Avoid installing base stations and repeaters on large concrete or marble columns because
these columns affect radio coverage. If possible, place the base station a minimum of one
meter/3.3 feet from these types of columns.
•
Do not install a base station or repeater with the antenna housings near metal objects. Be
careful not to damage existing wiring or panels.
•
Do not position base stations and repeaters in ducts, plenums, or hollow spaces used to
transport environmental air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a
suspended ceiling having lay-in panels. When you need more than one base station in a cell
to meet traffic requirements, position the base stations at the same cell center.
•
Keep the base station and repeater away from steel constructions.
•
Do not position base stations and repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the
base station a minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these types of surfaces.
•
Do not position base station and repeaters behind furniture.
•
Only position base stations and repeaters where the signal is needed.
•
The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.
•
The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and 104°F.
•
The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
•
Minimum distance between two base stations varies depending on material and construction
of buildings, but there must always be synchronization chains and radio coverage overlap
between the two base stations or handover between radio units. The time it takes a person to
cross the common coverage area must be 10 seconds or more, as the handset needs time to
scan for an alternative base station.
Electrical Requirements for Base Station
The following electrical requirements must be met:
•
The base station operates on standard twisted pair ethernet cable - e.g. minimum Cat.5e - to
prevent disturbances from other equipment.
•
Maximum power supply consumption is 3.0W (IEEE 802.3af class 1 device).
•
The max. radiated output power for the antenna is 10mW e.i.r.p/channel.
•
The supplied power (power supply) for the charger must be 110 V to 120 V
•
V ac nominal (or 220 V to 230 V ac nominal), 50/60 Hz.
