Subscribing GAP Compatible DECT Handsets
38DHB0002UKFH – Issue 5 (27th October 2003)
Subscribing GAP Compatible DECT Handsets
GAP compatible DECT handsets can be subscribed to the Compact DECT
system. To do this you will require the original handset manufacturers
instructions for subscribing that handset.
A difficulty may arise in determining the serial number of the handset so that
it can registered on the Compact DECT systems prior to subscription.
To determine a handsets serial number
1. Set the Compact DECT system to allow subscription (
see
Subscribing
Handsets
on page 16
).
2. Go to the CCFP programs
Status
page and set the
Status Level
to
Level 2
(
see
MSF Status
on page 26
).
3. From the non-Compact DECT handset attempt to subscribe to the
Compact DECT system using the handset manufacturer's instructions.
The subscription will fail as the handset is not registered in the Compact
DECT database but during the attempt its serial number will be displayed
in the
Receive Status
display.
4. Note the serial number and add the handset to the registered handsets
(
see
Registering Handsets
on page 15
). You should now be able to
subscribe the handset.
System Testing & Handover
After completing installation, including any Repeaters (
see page 19
) and
handset subscription, perform the following checks:
– Make test calls from all handsets.
– With a call connected, move through the areas that should be covered by
the Base Station. Check that no unexpected 'black spots' exist.
– With a call connected, move through the areas that should be covered by
the Repeaters. Check that no unexpected 'black spots' exist.
Ensure that the customer is satisfied with the installation. Make sure they are
aware of the following:
–
Reporting Faults:
Make the customer aware of the details required when reporting any
faults. Since this a cordless system, details of the handset user's location
at the time of a fault is crucial. Maintaining a record of the location of
faults may reveal black spots or high usage areas.
–
Hearing Aids:
Make the customer aware that all cordless and mobile telephone
systems can cause background noise on some hearing aids.
–
Safety Areas:
Make sure the customer is aware of their responsibility to indicate to
handset users any areas where handsets should not be used and should
be switched off for reasons of safety. The 20DT handsets are not
classified as 'intrinsically safe electrical equipment' (a special
classification for electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas).
