Introduction This guide describes the procedures required for installing the Samsung DECT 500 and 1500 systems with Base Stations, Repeaters and handsets. Before installing the hardware, a careful site survey must be carried out to determine the exact require- ments of the site and the optimum locations for installing equipment.
DECT Systems Preliminaries The DECT 500 is an entry-level system comprising a single Base Station/Controller (CCFP) allowing up to eight handsets to be used. The DECT 1500 comprises a cen- tral control unit (CCFP) supporting up to eight Base Stations and 64 handsets. The DECT 1500 can also be installed with an expansion board to support up to 16 Base Stations, or can be configured as two “linked”...
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Environmental Considerations for Users and Buildings Carefully track the movement of users to establish movement patterns. The number of Base Stations required is determined by the number of users and their movements. The distance between Base Stations should be at least 3m to avoid interference.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Take into account interference from adjacent cells when the DECT system is installed in a multi-storey building (Hot Spot). Take into account the following characteristics of radio waves. - Body effect: The RSSI and Q values may differ depending on the location of the handset on the hu- man body.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Site Survey Procedure Before you start cell planning, the coverage estimation for the site should be com- pleted and the possible Base Station locations indicated on the site map. Cell plan- ning is done as follows: 1.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Choose the Base Station positions required. This may need to be done in consultation with a customer engineer. In choosing Base Station positions, the required cabling to the keyphone system should be considered. Base Station positions must be defined such that later installa- tion problems are minimised.

Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Positioning Base Stations The coverage area for a Base Station within a building varies from 50 to 150 metres. The radiation graph from a Base Station is almost circular, horizontally, when working in “free”...
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems The RSSI value can be measured with a Samsung D-5000 handset. Note that when carrying out measurements, the handset must be off-hook. During measurement it is necessary to take into account the effect a human body has on the radio signal.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems A maximum of three Base Stations can be placed next to each other. Any more will interrupt each other and interfere with the whole system. If there is a need for a fourth Base Station, this must be placed at least 25 metres away.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Erlang = E. 3 calls per hour, lasting 3 mins (3 calls x 3 mins)/60 min = 0.15 E 40 x 0.15 = 6 E With 1% rejection, 6 E equals 12 channels according to the Erlang table (Appendixes 1 and A Base Station has 4 channels: 12/4 = 3 Base Stations per cell (Figure 1.4)
Page 21
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Example 2: Small overlap area In areas where two coverage areas meet perpendicularly (such as two passageways), there may be an area of very small overlap which can cause the loss of a call. This is because you are moving from an area with only one Base Station to an area also with only one Base Station.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Example 4: Shadows If Base Stations are placed on pillars of concrete or steel (e.g. in warehouses with steel shelves or racking), shadows may appear with no radio coverage. This may be solved by covering the shadow areas with one or more additional Base Stations.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Function of Repeaters A Repeater can be considered as a DECT unit, comprising a DECT handset and a Base Station in one unit that can handle up to three traffic channels. The Repeater has the same coverage as a normal Base Station.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Base Station Area 1 Base Station Area 4 Repeater Area 2 Repeater Area 3 Figure 1.6 In Figure 1.6 an installation with two Repeaters and two Base Stations is shown. An active handset can move from Area 1 to Area 4 without losing its call since handover is made from the Base Station in Area 1 to the Repeater in Area 2, then to the Re- peater in Area 3 and then to the Base Station in Area 4.

Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems In a normal office this will not be a problem, as the coverage area of a Base Station and the number of square metres per employee normally secures the necessary overlap. Office with 20 DECT subscribers Coverage without overlap...
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Repeater coverage – traffic capacity 0.15E Room with few employees Figure 1.9 If the Repeater is used to obtain coverage in areas of low traffic, i.e. areas with few employees with DECT handsets, the Repeater can be used as shown in Figure 1.9. Another possibility is to install two Repeaters in the outer areas, giving an even dis- tribution of traffic capacity.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Figure 1.11 demonstrates a hotel installation where the radio coverage is established by registering two Repeaters on the same Base Station. The Base Stations are placed in the area where the highest traffic intensity may occur. This can be repeated on each floor and thus create the radio coverage with a relatively small number of Base Stations compared to the area of the building.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Repeaters as Problem Solvers in Multi-Cell Systems Typical problems with multi-cell systems are: • Missing radio coverage • Missing traffic capacity One of the typical problems is lack of coverage even after the site survey showed no problems.
Part 1: Site Survey and Overview of DECT Systems Distance: approx. 1,000 metres Figure 1.14 Repeater Jumps Repeaters can be linked together in a chain of up to three. In this way a large cell can be created. In Figure 1.15 a configuration is shown with an external antenna on the first Repeater.
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation and Programming DECT 1500 System Hardware Configuration Overview The DECT 1500 system is an “add on” to existing or new PABX installations. The system can handle up to 64 cordless handsets. It comprises a Central Control Fixed Part (CCFP), up to 16 Radio Fixed Parts (RFP or Base Stations) and Portable Parts (PP, handsets).
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation & Programming Configuring the CCFP The CCFP comprises a power supply and a main board. One expansion board, a Link card and up to eight Inter-Working Units (IWUs) can be mounted in the CCFP in slots 0–7 (Figure 2.2).
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation & Programming Installing the Expansion Board and IWUs The CCFP expansion board has to be mounted in the CCFP if more than eight RFPs are needed. The expansion board handles up to eight RFPs besides the eight RFPs the CCFP main board handles (maximum 16 RFPs).
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation and Programming 6. Replace the top cover. 7. Connect the RFPs or the PBX extension lines to the DP 25 connectors. 8. Power up the CCFP. If the RFPs are installed, make a cable measurement. Cable Connections RFPs (Base Stations) D-Sub Pin...
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation & Programming Serial Connection The serial port is a 9-pin D-SUB male type. When connecting a PC to the CCFP, a full connection DTE-DTE must be used (Figure 2.6). Figure 2.6 Serial Connection Installing the CCFP When mounting the CCFP on a wall it is important that the supplied bracket is used.

Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation and Programming Installation First determine where to install the RFP to have the correct coverage. The average coverage within buildings is 75 metres. Coverage depends on the construction of the building, the architecture and choice of buildings materials. You must use the DECT Demonstration and Installation Kit to optimize your installation.
Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation & Programming Starting the DECT 1500 System 1. Install the CCFP administration software on an IBM-compatible PC. 2. Make sure that all RFPs are connected correctly. Also, make sure that all IWU connections are made to PABX lines. 3.
DECT 500 System Hardware Configuration Overview The DECT 500 system is an “add on” to existing or new PABX installations. The sys- tem can handle up to eight cordless handsets. It comprises a Base Station/Control Unit (CCFP) and a number of Portable Parts (PP, handsets).
