Installation of the Base Station
This section describes how to install the IPBSs, BS3x0 and DB1. All three base stations can
be fixed to a wall, a ceiling, a pole or a beam, by means of the mounting bracket included.
When fixing the base station to a wall or ceiling the included plugs and screws must be
used. When fixing it to a pole or beam a strap or a flexible metal band must be used, this
is not included.
NOTE: It is recommended to mount the Base Station at least 30 cm away from a metal
surface.
3.1
Base Station
Cabling
Recommended base station cable is a standard CAT5 unshielded ethernet cable with
minimum 26 AWG copper conductors, this cable is also used for powering the base
station. It is assumed that installation personnel know how to crimp RJ45 connectors to a
cable.
NOTE: Since the distance between the base station and the wall is limited, a RJ45 modular
jack without cable retention must be used.
NOTE: Ensure that during the installation of an base station, each base station is given an
extra length (5-10 metres) of cable because it is possible that it will have to be moved for
one reason or another.
3.2
Install the Base Station
The base station can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Mount the base station at
places and positions as determined in the base station plan, see the applicable System
Planning documentation for IP-DECT. The base station must be placed in a way that it is
not facing large metal objects such as large heating pipes.
3.2.1
Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Wall
Fix the mounting bracket (see
figure 8
on page 19) to the wall as follows:
1
Hold the mounting bracket with its flat side against the wall with the text ‘TOP’
upwards and mark the two holes. The minimum distance between the upper hole
and the ceiling or any object above the base station must be at least 65 mm for
IPBS1/BS3x0 and 100 mm for IPBS2/DB1, see
figure 8
on page 19. If the distance is
less than 65/100 mm, the base station cannot be slid onto the bracket.
2
When using wall plugs: Drill the two holes using a
6 mm drill and insert the
included wall plugs.
3
Position the mounting bracket with its flat side to the wall and fasten it with the
two included
3.5 mm screws.
