When to use outdoor bases?
On outdoor areas. They are weather-protected and have a greater temperature in-
use range. They should be protected against lightning surge, see more details in doc
[1].
Cohabitation with other radio: Distance between WIFI and DECT and between LTE and
DECT?
A minimum distance between two radio technologies must be respected. If this
distance cannot be fulfilled additional filtering on the DECT antennas may be
required.
Without filter a minimum distance of 250m between LTE antenna and the xBS
antennas must be fulfilled. By configuring the CS to forbid the use of frequency
channels 7, 8 and 9, this minimum distance can be reduced to 70m.
Can I use local power supply with non-PoE compatible switches?
No, the IP-xBS must be supplied over Ethernet. A local power injector can be used to
provide the energy.
Do we need 1Gb/s switches?
The IP-xBS has a 10/100 Mb/s interface and can be plugged on a 1Gb/s link without
any problem (the link will be downgraded to 100Mb/s).
Can I install and switch on all the xBS at the same time?
You can install all the 8378 DECT IP-xBS at the same time and switch them on at the
same time on simple deployment (mono-PARI). See also section 5.9
Shall we declare the xBS in the call server?
The 8378 DECT IP-xBS are auto-discovered without any provisioning on CS side
(except for the general settings).
You can also declare the 8378 DECT IP-xBS manually on the CS device
management if you prefer. See section 5.2.1
Should I need to configure something on the xBS web interface?
No, all the parameters are configured on the CS side, except if you want to configure
the 8378 DECT IP-xBS to use static IP parameters and/or a static VLAN and/or
DHCP User Class.
See doc[1]for more details.
How to find the IP address of an xBS?
Using the site survey mode of a handset you can retrieve the RPN of the xBS you are close
to. In the Call Server device management, you can find the IP address and MAC address
corresponding to this RPN. The xBS need to be connected to a CS to be able to retrieve its
IP address. If not connected to a CS, the IP address could be retrieved in the log of the
DHCP server if you know the MAC address of the xBS which is written on its label.
Do I need to configure a DNS for the xBS?
No, the 8378 DECT IP-xBS, like the ALE IP Phone can work without any DNS server.
