Planning and Installation Guide

When Ordering Handsets and Base Units

Note: 

8x8 recommends you plan your installation before ordering handsets and base units.

1.  Allocate up to 4 – 6 handsets per KWS300 base unit.

Important! 

Each base unit provides a coverage radius of approximately 100 feet and 

supports up to 4 simultaneous calls.

•  For call centers, allocate up to 4 handsets per base unit.

•  For normal use, allocate up to 6 handsets per base unit.

•  For occasional use, you can allocate up to 12 handsets per base unit, but 8x8 

recommends that for more than 6 handsets you order another base unit instead.

2.  Determine which handsets will be associated with each new (or existing) base unit on 

your virtual PBX. This will ensure you receive correct activation codes that link your 
handset accounts with your base units when you order.

3.  Within the same 100-foot radius you can install up to 5 base units.

Example: 

5 base units in the same 100-foot radius support up to 20 simultaneous calls, 

and up to 30 handsets in normal use.

4.  If your coverage area has a radius larger than 100 feet, you can install adjacent base 

unit groups or cells (that are >100 feet apart) with up to 5 base units each. Alternatively, 
as described in a later section, you can install overlapping cells with up to 5 base units 
supported in the areas that overlap.

Special Transmission Limitations and Requirements

•  In multiple floor installations, transmission range across floors will likely be less  

than 100 feet.

•  Transmission range across heavy walls will likely be less than 100 feet.

•  Base units are normally installed at or near the center of a 100-foot radius cell. At the 

base unit installation point, either Ethernet with PoE or Ethernet without PoE plus a 
nearby AC outlet and a PoE AC adaptor / PoE injector are required. 8x8 offers base units 
with or without AC adaptors.
