For more information about programming the repeater with the ServiceTool, refer to the Help File
in the ServiceTool. The ServiceTool is to be downloaded from www.spectralink.com.
Use of Spectralink Repeater With External Antenna
If radio coverage between a base station and a repeater is not needed, it is possible to
synchronize between the radio units using a repeater with external antenna.
Figure 14
Use of Repeaters
The distance from the repeaters without external antenna to the base station must correspond to
a RSSI loss of maximum 25dB.
Be aware that inside the area named “radio link” there is no radio coverage, and therefore a
wireless handset cannot be used in this area.
The distance between the base station and the repeater with external antenna depends on the
type of antenna used as well as on the signal attenuation created by surroundings such as
buildings, trees, etc.
Synchronization Ways
The repeater with external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed to obtain synchronization on
two radio units (base station or repeater).
If a situation occurs where the primary sync for some reason breaks down, the repeater will obtain
sync on the alternative sync.
Be aware that the primary sync has priority; the alternative sync is only in use as long as the
primary sync is down.
Note
For programming the repeater you also need the programming software (ServiceTool) and the
power supply for the repeater. The ServiceTool is not part of the Programming Kit Repeater
but can be downloaded from www.Spectralink.com. The power supply for the repeater is to be
ordered separately (Part no. 84642602).
