3.4 Description and Installation of GDC-600BE
3.4.1 GDC-600E Description
GDC-600BE Base station employs DECT technology to provide an RF link to any standard DECT
GAP handset such as GDC-450H/480H/500H. The Base Station connects to a WTIB4 for access
to features and resources of iPECS with an RJ-11 4-wire connector on the left-side of the unit. In
addition to providing the path for signaling and audio between the Base Station and the WTIB4,
this connection provides power to GDC-600BE.
Two antennas provide antenna diversity to minimize the effects of RF signal reflection. The Base
Station is meant for indoor wall mounting only. The Base Station is directly mounted on the wall
using two (2) screws.

3.4.2 Base Station Installation
As mentioned in previous sections in this chapter, before permanently mounting a Base Station,
you should determine the most appropriate location for providing the best coverage. Base
Stations may be mounted on wall or desktop up to 600m away from the WTIB4 using a twisted 2-
pair unshielded cable (0.5
φ
, AWG 24). They are remotely powered (DC 30 volts) by the WTIB4.
The number of Base Stations used in a system depends on the area to be covered and the traffic
density. The typical in-house coverage is a 75m radius for GDC-600BE. In practice, the cell
outdoor radius in free space may up to 400m for GDC-600BE.
There are two ways to install the Base Station: mounting directly to wall surface, or mounting
using a wedge, as described in the following Section.
