Multiple repeaters
Up to 2 repeaters can be registered to the base station, in order to extend its range. This
allows to extend the base station range in multiple directions – including up and down
(eg. to cover several floors in a building).
If the repeaters are placed correctly (overlapping the coverage area of the base station, or
from another repeater), you can go from one area (cell) to the other while speaking on
the handset. The handset will automatically switch from cell to cell (handover), without
this being noticed during the telephone call.
The repeaters can be installed within the base stations coverage area as shown in the fol-
lowing sections, in a star configuration (in the range of the base), or in cascade configu-
ration (in serie).
Registration of Multiple repeaters
When registering multiple repeaters to one base station, each repeater should be regis-
tered one after the other taking care that the second repeater to be registered is in the
range of the first one.
To be on the safe side, it is required to power up the first repeater close to the base sta-
tion before registration of the new repeater. This is especially important when a adding a
new repeater at a later stage.
Multiple repeaters : setting up a star configuration
2 repeaters can be used in a star configuration (ie in the range of the base), allowing to
extend the range of the base station in all directions. In good conditions, range can be
doubled using star configuration.
