c02.fm Overview

2 Overview
The HiPath Cordless IP solution extends the scope of the DECT standard introduced for voice communication, making it now available for Voice over IP infrastructures. The radio range covered by the HiPath Cordless IP system is made up of DECT IP base stations that together form either an seamless network of overlapping and synchronous radio cells or individual radio islands. The size of a radio cell depends on local/structural factors. Voice over IP infrastructures are connected via the SIP protocol. In their capacity as mobile communication solutions, DECT radio cells are therefore an optimal enhancement to SIP-compliant Voice over IP systems. The DECT IP base stations support seamless handover in ongoing voice connections, that is, moving from one radio cell to another during a call with a DECT handset. The roaming function is also available for mobile stations. HiPath Cordless IP also supports the DECT protocol GAP (Generic Access Profile) and the radio protocol PN-CAP. The basic function scope required by ETSI is thus extended to include a number of Siemens-specific features.

c02.fm Overview Einleitung

2.1 Einleitung
The HiPath Cordless IP solution is designed as a DECT system with an SIP interface to the communication server.

2.1.1 DECT IP Base Station (BSIP1)


DECT IP base stations combine to form a network of radio cells. Roaming between radio cells is possible for DECT handsets during a voice connection if the radio cells are synchronized and overlap. DECT IP base stations come with all necessary software for the DECT and IP functions. This software is configured and administered via the HiPath Cordless IP SW.

2.1.2 HiPath Cordless IP SW


HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed once on a system and can be activated on a DECT IP base station or can be installed on a server HW. It supports the following functions: Function: Router and protocol converter The HiPath Cordless IP SW serves as the interface between the IP DECT base stations and the communication server. It manages the voice connections between the communication server and the relevant DECT IP base station and converts these into a data format that can be reed by the DECT IP base stations. At DECT layer the media packets are enhanced with DECT signaling (time frame, frequency) information. The HiPath Cordless IP SW converts incoming RTP media data into UDP packets via DECT codec G726. Only HiPath Cordless IP SW knows, at which DECT IP Basestation a special DECT handset is located. For the communication server or any other phone, the HiPath Cordless IP SW is the endpoint. Whenever a handset performs a handover, this process is invisible outside the HiPath Cordless IP System. In the view of the communication server the HiPath Cordless IP SW is like a Gateway User-Agent that manages lots of handsets. Handsets use the HiPath Cordless IP SW for registration at the communication server. This software regulates the check-in procedure for the DECT handsets and their management. Function: Configuration and administration interface All administrative functionality for the DECT IP Basestations as well as for HiPath Cordless IP SW itself is performed via a Web Based Management to the HiPath Cordless IP SW, i.e., all DECT IP Basestations are administered via HiPath Cordless IP SW.

c02.fm Overview Einleitung

Function: Synchronization management DECT IP base stations must be perfectly synchronized as a prerequisite for seamless handover. If the DECT IP base stations are synchronized, they combine to form a seamless handover cluster. The synchronization management function only works in this cluster. Additional clusters are possible but not synchronized. Seamless handover is not possible between different asynchronous clusters. In DECT systems with line-switched connections such as HiPath Cordless systems, the synchronization information needed for synchronizing the DECT IP base stations is obtained from the UP0 connection. This is not possible in the HiPath Cordless IP system. DECT-based synchronization ("synchronization over the air") This method to synchronize overlapping radio cells runs under SW control within the DECT part of the DECT IP Basestation. The HiPath Cordless IP SW is acting only as admin point that notices when a base station has lost its synchronization. The DECT IP base station must be located in the overlap area of the DECT IP base station that it wants to synchronize with over the DECT interface. For every DECT IP Basestation the synchronization "Master" have to be configured by the configuration Interface of the HiPath Cordless IP SW. DECT information for synchronization are exchanged directly between the DECT IP Basestations. A DECT IP base station can also be synchronized with other DECT IP base stations as this increases the synchronism available in the cluster. It is important to avoid synchronization loops. In the event of loss of synchronization, the DECT IP base station stops accepting calls once all ongoing calls that were being conducted on the asynchronous DECT IP base station have ended and then it re-synchronizes the asynchronous DECT IP base station. LAN-based synchronization A DECT IP base station can be synchronized over LAN with another DECT IP base station. The IEEE standard Precision Time Protocol (PTP) IEEE1588 is used for this. In contrast to DECT-based synchronization, LAN-based synchronization uses only one DECT IP base station in the cluster as the clock master for the other DECT IP base stations to be synchronized. This PTP master sends out multicast messages with time information. The slaves send back modified time messages to the master. In contrast to over-the-air synchronization, LAN-based synchronization requires less configuration. On the other hand, high demands are placed on Ethernet characteristics such as symmetry, packet loss, delay, jitter (primarily delay variation). All of the Ethernet components involved (especially the switches) therefore have to fulfill special A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

17

c02.fm Overview Einleitung

requirements. If thresholds are exceeded (primarily jitter), this leads to loss of synchronization, which in turn leads to a resynchronization process. No calls can be conducted on the relevant DECT IP base station during this process. PTP messages are exchanged only between the DECT IP Basestations, the HiPath Cordless IP SW is not involved. DECT IP Basestations who are e.g. separated by iron doors cannot synchronize each other over the air can use instead PTP. For PTP, the underlying network must fulfill some restrictions like very little delay, i.e., no routers or NAT devices (see chapter Section 2.4). A combination of air and LAN synchronization is possible in a cluster of synchronous DECT IP base stations. Advantages of LAN synchronization compared with over-the-air synchronization: Greater flexibility in the arrangement of the base stations as no synchronization chains need to be formed. Fewer DECT IP base stations required as the overlapping area of the DECT IP base stations is smaller. Configuration of the system is simplified as all DECT IP base stations can be synchronized on one synchronization master.

In the event of loss of synchronization, the DECT IP base station stops accepting calls once all ongoing calls that were being conducted on the asynchronous DECT IP base station have ended and then it re-synchronizes the asynchronous DECT IP base station.

Figure 3

Not optimally synchronized, each DECT IP base station has only one synchronization partner

Figure 4

The two lower DECT IP base stations are synchronized over LAN because a solid fire door prevents DECT-based synchronization. The quick passage of data through a fire door cannot always guarantee reliable DECT synchronization.

This data is transported in a VPN tunnel to ensure that the signaling and voice data in active voice connections between a DECT IP base station and HiPath Cordless IP software is protected against manipulation and interception. For the VPN encryption IPSec is used. The DECT IP base stations are set up in communication with the HiPath Cordless IP SW. As soon as a new DECT IP base station is connected to the Ethernet, it starts to send multicast packets with its MAC address. The HiPath Cordless IP SW then activates and takes over control of the DECT IP base station. The HiPath Cordless IP SW then sends the DECT IP base station an IP address for communication purposes as well as its own IP address as a future target address for data traffic.

c02.fm Overview Einleitung

DECT Handset - DECT IP Basestation (BSIP1): In this multicell DECT system, a call can be handed over seamlessly from one BSIP1 to the other. If seamless handover is impossible and the signal quality is decreasing, at a certain point the handset can send a warning tone and the connection breaks off. DECT IP Basestation (BSIP1) - DECT IP Basestation (BSIP1): An accurate synchronization is needed between DECT IP Basestation for seamless handover. DECT IP Basestation (BSIP1) - HiPath Cordless IP SW: the DECT IP Basestation (BSIP1) is able to handle a tunnel to the HiPath Cordless IP SW, in which the voice data of all active calls and all signaling data is transported. The connection between BSIP1 and HiPath Cordless IP SW is system-specific, i.e., this protocol is IP based and uses UDP packages both ways. HiPath Cordless IP SW - communication server: The SIP interface between the HiPath Cordless IP SW and the communication server is standard based. Seen from the communication server the DECT over IP System is a set of SIP subscribers represented by a GW User-Agent, which is the HiPath Cordless IP SW connected to the DECT handsets, i.e. the subscribers are the DECT handsets.

c02.fm Overview System Configuration

2.2 System Configuration


There are two main scenarios for installing the HiPath Cordless IP solution: The HiPath Cordless IP SW is activated on one of the DECT IP base stations. The HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed on a server.

In both cases, all voice and signaling data (RTP/SIP) are always routed over the HiPath Cordless IP SW because this is the only software that supports a routing and protocol converter function. Scenarios are also possible where the HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed a number of times per communication server. Such scenarios do not support seamless handover between the different clusters formed with synchronous DECT IP base stations. Cascading is not available at present for communication server software.

2.2.1 Scenario 1 - HiPath Cordless IP SW is activated on a DECT IP base station


All DECT IP base stations always also support the same functions as HiPath Cordless IP SW. This means that in principle, all DECT IP base stations can perform HiPath Cordless IP SW functions in addition to the actual DECT functionality. The HiPath Cordless IP SW must be activated before the DECT IP base station can perform this function. The following system limits apply in this scenario based on resource availability in BSIP1: up to 10 DECT IP base stations up to 10 parallel calls

These system limits apply to each cluster of synchronous DECT IP base stations where seamless handover is possible. Up to 99 Gigaset professional mobile devices can be configured in the data base of the HiPath Cordless IP SW and up to 55 of these mobile devices can be logged on to the Communication Server.

2.2.2 Scenario 2 - HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed on dedicated server hardware


The HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed on a server. The requisite operating system for the server is Linux Distribution openWRT. Both the server and the entire software on the server are included in the HiPath Cordless IP solutions scope of features. The following system limits apply in this scenario: up to 60 DECT IP base stations up to 50 parallel calls

These system limits apply to each cluster of synchronous DECT IP base stations where seamless handover is possible. Up to 300 Gigasets can be configured in the HiPath Cordless IP software.

2.3.1 Outdoor Case


A DECT IP base station must be installed in a weatherproof outdoor case to guarantee radio coverage in outdoor areas, for example on factory sites. The outdoor case is suitable for mounting on house walls, roofs or masts. The outdoor case already used for the HiPath Cordless base station BS4 is also used for DECT IP base stations (part number: S30122-X7469-X2). If using the DECT IP base station outdoors, lightning and overvoltage protection must be provided and guaranteed for the DECT IP base station itself as well as for the feeder into the DECT IP base station and the building. In compliance with EN 61000-4-5, the power supply inlet on the DECT IP base station offers up to 0.5 KV overvoltage protection.

2.3.2 Powering the DECT IP Base Stations


The DECT IP base station can be powered in two different ways: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Class 2 to 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet: PoE injectors

A PoE injector is used if PoE cannot be made available in the network. The PoE injector must be 802.3af-compatible. Pre-tested and released PoE injectors are available as optional features within the scope of the HiPath Cordless IP solution. The IEEE802.3af standard allows the PoE Injector to be in any location between the switch and the BSIP1. The maximum allowed distance between the switch and the BSIP1 for IEEE802.3 compliance is 100 m. It is typical to deploy the PoE Injector close to the switch, since by doing this one can use a single UPS (central power supply) to backup both the switch and the PoE Injector. If overall efficiency is more important than centralized backup and/or management, it makes sense to place the PoE Injector closer to the BSIP1, since the power dissipated at the cable between the PoE Injector and the BSIP1 is directly proportional to the length of this cable (P = I2 * R).

c02.fm Overview Network Requirement

2.4 Network Requirement


Voice connections only work properly over IP networks if the IP network satisfies all general VoIP network requirements in terms of delay, loss and guaranteed quality of service features. The following conditions should also be assured for the DECT IP base stations and the HiPath Cordless IP SW in the IP network: they have to be part of the same Ethernet segment, a layer-3 routing via an IP router is not supported, no devices use the Network Address Translation (NAT) Ethernet segment Minimum 2 priority classes acc. to IEEE 802.1 p/q in the IP Network possible Use of 100 Mbps full duplex for all switched LAN ports as the solution operates with standard IP addresses, these must be freely available in the IP network.

Failure to satisfy these conditions can result in delays in the IP network. This leads to synchronization and voice quality problems in the DECT handsets.

c02.fm Overview Software License Management

2.5 Software License Management


SW component licensing is only relevant if the HiPath Cordless IP SW is installed on dedicated server hardware. If the HiPath Cordless IP SW is activated on a DECT IP base station, licensing is not performed for the software components of HiPath Cordless IP systems. The SW licensing of the communication servers SIP stations is dependent on this. If the HiPath Cordless IP SW is located on a dedicated Server HW the number of DECT IP Basestation within the system and the HiPath Cordless IP SW itself in Version 1 is licensed. The number of DECT IP base stations configured and registered in the HiPath Cordless IP SW is counted for this. The HiPath Cordless IP SW is also counted in version 1. HiPath License Management (HLM) is used in the HiPath Cordless IP SW. The Siemens licensing process consists of 4 different steps, see for a general overview Figure 10: 1. The license key is centrally created and contains the number of DECT IP Basestations in the system and the number of HiPath Cordless IP SW in Version 1. The license file is signed by Siemens CA. 2. The license file is being download from a License Server (CLS, Central License Server). In general, the Customer Site Components (CSC) are part of the license SW of the product that interpret the license file and distribute it in a customer's network. In detail, the Customer License Agent (CLA) usually on the Siemens communication server - connects to the License Server and downloads the license file. Via CLA the customer can monitor the usage of licenses. If the CLA is located on the Siemens communication server, the license file is downloaded onto the Siemens communication server. A Customer License Client (CLC) which is always on HiPath Cordless IP SW, is told, under which link on the Siemens communication server it can contact the CLA. In case the customer's network does not have a Siemens communication server the HiPath Cordless IP SW itself will also be provided with CLA SW and the license file will be downloaded directly onto the HiPath Cordless IP SW. The CLC is told that the files are on the same server. 3. Verification of the license key: the license file is read in and the signature is checked. If the check is successful, the license data will be retrieved from the license file. This is done by CLA. 4. License Enforcement: the license conditions are checked and supervised in the running system, e.g., as soon as a DECT IP Basestation is installed and added to the system, the CLC contacts the CLA and a license counter in the license file is decremented. This step is performed by the Customer License Client (CLC) that is always running on HiPath Cordless IP SW. A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

HiPath Cordless IP SW: License Management

When the HiPath Cordless IP System is setup at a customer, a special Grace Period starts, i.e. the product can be used for 30 days without a license. Within this period of time, the one who is installing the system has to get a valid product license. After installation of the license software on the system, this license has no more time restrictions.

c03.fm Planning a HiPath Cordless IP System Planning According to Call Traffic Load

3 Planning a HiPath Cordless IP System


When planning a cordless system, the position of the base station is critical for system performance. The load should be optimized using locations with a high call volumes and radio coverage.

3.1 Planning According to Call Traffic Load


The borders of base station radio cells should not be located in high traffic areas because changing base stations during a call (handover) increases traffic load. The best base should be as unique as possible to avoid frequent switching.

c03.fm Planning a HiPath Cordless IP System General

3.2 General
DECT IP Base station (BSIP1) DECT IP base stations are logically connected to the HiPath Cordless IP server software over LAN connections. This software is connected to the communication server via the SIP interface. Base station range Ethernet cable range (see also Chapter 2.4 for network requirements between DECT IP base stations and the HiPath Cordless IP server software) Spatial distance The distance which must be maintained between the different installation points of the base stations is dependent on the range the traffic capacity of the radio cells. You can increase the number of simultaneous calls in a radio cell by overlapping radio cells (overload). Distance For synchronization over DECT, the DECT IP base stations you want to synchronize with each other must be able to exchange their management information (beacons). For this to work, they must be located in the areas where their radio cells overlap. This does not apply for use of over-the-air synchronization.

obstructions with strong absorption qualities (brick walls, dividing walls, ceilings, furniture, steel cabinets, bathroom units, elevators, wirereinforced glass, leaded windows, blinds and others) reflective stationary obstructions (brick buildings, reinforced concrete buildings, buildings with metal sheathing) reflective moving obstructions (people, animals, vehicles)

3.3 Propagation Conditions for Radio Traffic


Radio wave propagation in the DECT frequency range is quasioptical. This means that a wave is hindered in its propagation if it hits a solid surface and is thereby reflected to a greater or lesser extent. This reflection is dependent on the physical qualities of the medium. In the case of conductive materials, the penetration depth into the medium is determined mainly by the magnetic quality and the electrical conductivity. Metals with a high degree of conductivity These include copper or steel and prevent most DECT frequency radio waves from penetrating, reflecting them in the same way as a mirror reflects light. Modern construction materials (exceptions, see above) These have relatively poor conductivity levels with the result that electromagnetic waves, even if attenuated, still can pass through. Thus, radio traffic is possible within and through buildings. Attenuation qualities of the construction materials vary greatly resulting in different ranges depending on the propagation direction and the construction material penetrated.
Wood (dry and unprocessed), glass, plastics (N-conductor) Brick walls, wood (damp and processed, for example, particle board) Reinforced concrete, glass with metal reinforcement/coating negligible attenuation medium range of attenuation greatest attenuation

This attenuation is mitigated by openings, especially by windows in the buildings as long as they do not have wire-reinforced or metal-plated glass. The different levels of radio propagation give rise to various scenarios in which radio cells are formed: in the open with visibility industrial sites with reinforced concrete buildings and buildings with metal facades

indoor areas in buildings made of brick and light construction materials indoor areas in reinforced concrete buildings with diverse interior layout, for example.

3.3.1 In the Open with Visibility


In this scenario, the electromagnetic waves are subject to the lowest amount of attenuation with the result that they produce the greatest radio wavelength. In principle, base stations in such a scenario produce a radio coverage range with a radius of up to 300 m. This, however, is usually not possible, since trees, bushes and moving obstructions, such as, people, animals, and vehicles in the direct propagation route can significantly reduce propagation. NOTE: A base station installed in an attic directly beside a dormer window (no metal reinforcement in the window pane) is the alternative to the outdoor housing for coverage of the outdoor area. Choose the mounting location carefully: The base station is often exposed to extreme environmental temperatures, for example, direct sunlight or extreme cold.

3.3.2 Industrial Sites


Buildings of varying structural materials may be found here, including those: of light construction materials, of brick, of reinforced concrete, with metal facades.

The distances between the buildings, however, are rarely greater than 100 m. In this scenario, outdoor base stations are practical for covering the outdoor area. Buildings of brick or light construction materials are generally penetrable, but the magnetic field reception behind the walls is extremely low, resulting, quasioptically, in a shadowed area. For example, in the case of a base station installed on the southern side of a brick building, the range limit on the northern side would be attained immediately or after just a few meters, owing to the insertion loss.

A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

c03.fm Planning a HiPath Cordless IP System Propagation Conditions for Radio Traffic

Up to 100 m of the outdoor area can also be supplied through the windows. For this purpose, the base station must be set up on an upper floor (> 3rd floor, that is two levels above ground floor). Low-lying obstructions near the base station, such as, vehicles or a garage (one or two cars) do not, in this case, cause significant interference. Reinforced concrete buildings and/or metal facades: These have proven to be limiting factors. Penetration into the building is only possible through windows (up to about 2 m into the building in the case of standard size windows). The windows cannot be made from wire-reinforced or metal-plated glass. Wave conduction is possible in alleys between buildings as well as along streets. This results in a larger radio area.

3.3.3 Indoor Areas in Buildings in Brick and Light Construction Materials


Insertion loss values In the case of walls of brick or light construction materials, insertion loss values are relatively small so that even dividing walls of up to 30 m can be penetrated. Vertical attenuation This is dependent on the ceiling type. In this case, reinforced concrete ceilings that offer higher attenuation in particular compared to brick play a decisive role in range evaluation. These ceilings are dimensioned based on the purpose of the building, for example, single-family residence apartment building office building theater

and so the insertion loss ae also differs accordingly; see Table 4.

Brick wall, 10 to 12 cm Brick wall, 24 cm, small windows Brick wall, 63 to 70 cm Drywall Gaseous-concrete wall Glass wall Wire-reinforced glass wall Reinforced concrete ceiling (residence) Two reinforced concrete ceilings Three reinforced concrete ceilings

NOTE: These values show clearly that propagation within buildings is hindered much less in a horizontal direction than in a vertical direction. This must be taken into consideration when installing the base station.

3.3.4 Indoor Areas in Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Diverse Interior Layout
Indoor areas in reinforced concrete buildings can give rise to different scenarios, depending on the interior layout. Scenario 1 - Large factory halls (for manufacturing or office space) These are either not partitioned (e.g. manufacturing halls) or have mobile partitions reaching half way to the ceiling (office). Propagation conditions Favorable in this scenario because intervisibility is more frequent than, for example, in buildings divided into individual offices with no line of sight between the base station and mobile telephones. Scenario 2 - Interior in buildings of brick and light construction materials Propagation conditions

c03.fm Planning a HiPath Cordless IP System Propagation Conditions for Radio Traffic

Similar to buildings with brick outer walls. However, due to industrial sector requirements, the dimensions of reinforced concrete ceilings in these buildings are such that insertion loss values are considerably higher than in brick buildings. NOTE: The resulting unfavorable vertical wave propagation must be taken into consideration when installing the base station. Scenario 3 - Interior with concrete walls and steel dividing walls These areas also usually include the heavily steel-reinforced areas of stairwells, bathroom areas, supply shafts, as well as elevator shafts.

Table 5 shows several insertion loss values which are relevant to this scenario, along with the corresponding capacity loss data for the radio area.
Table 5 Insertion loss (ae)/range loss in the radio area Insertion object Concrete wall, interior, 10 cm Concrete wall, double, 2 x 20 cm Concrete wall, 25 to 30 cm Reinforced concrete ceiling Two reinforced concrete ceilings Three reinforced concrete ceilings Steel wall with wire-reinforced glass Steel walls, extending to ceiling, 3.5 m dist. ae (dB) 6 17 9.4 to 16 12 to 14 35 to 47 42 to 53 6.5 to 10 31 to 41 Range loss (%) ~ 75 ~ 97.5 ~ 88 to 97.5 ~ 91 to 96 100 100 ~ 75.5 to 90 100

Propagation conditions Horizontal and vertical values are approximately the same. It has been determined that in this type of building, transmission usually takes place along corridors if steel divider walls are installed. As the relatively high insertion loss values show, individual rooms are increasingly supplied via reflection if multiple metal walls are in the direct path. Concrete walls cause similar conditions to those described above. Elevator shafts and stairwells must therefore often have their own base station if they are to be included in the HiPath Cordless IP range.

3.4 Determining the Installation Site 3.4.1 Indoors


3.4.1.1 In Buildings of Brick or Light Construction Materials
Horizontal direction A base station must be installed at least every 50 m. Central installation in the building The general rules must be observed. Vertical coverage Care must be taken to ensure that no more than two reinforced concrete ceilings are in the direct propagation route between the base station and the area of movement of the handsets. Other base stations must then be set up in the radio cells if necessary, based on the concentration of stations or the number of handsets.

Assuming that the distribution of handsets in buildings will be fairly uniform, additional base stations should preferably be installed on the floors above or below the minimum required base stations (see Figure 11).

Central installation in the building The general rules must be observed. Vertical coverage Care must be taken to ensure that not more than one reinforced concrete ceiling is in the direct propagation route between the base station and the area where the mobile telephones are used. Adequate coverage cannot otherwise be guaranteed. Stairwells, elevator shafts and supply shafts

in these buildings usually have strongly-reinforced concrete walls and stairs. Areas such as these, with poor propagation conditions, often require additional base stations. If additional base stations are needed because of a large number of mobile telephones, see Figure 12.

For interiors with concrete and steel dividing walls (Figure 13) Central installation in the building The general rules must be observed. Horizontal direction Because of the relatively high attenuation of concrete and steel dividing walls, a base station must be installed in these buildings at least every 25 m. Vertical coverage Care must be taken to ensure that not more than one reinforced concrete ceiling is in the direct propagation route between the base station and the area where the mobile telephones are used. Adequate coverage cannot otherwise be guaranteed. For stairwells, elevator shafts and supply shafts

additional base stations are also often necessary. In the case of elevators, a base station can be installed in the elevator cabin itself. If additional base stations are needed because of a large number of mobile telephones, see Figure 13.

3.4.1.3 Factory Halls and Open-Plan Offices


Within halls or open-plan offices (Figure 12) Good transmission qualities. For a hall which is 100 m long, one centrally located base station, suspended freely from the ceiling (mast, plastic chain), may be sufficient.

CAUTION The base station should not be installed on a reinforced concrete pillar because the pillar creates a partial shadow which means that a clear line of sight no longer exists. In this case, two base stations must be installed 50 m to 75 m apart. In the case of outer walls or interior siding and/or hall ceilings made of metal (or metal-clad), it may be necessary to increase the number of base stations and distribute them in such a way as to virtually exclude radio interference through reflections.

3.4.2 Outdoors
Base station with outdoor housing (Figure 14) Only base stations with weather-resistant housing are suitable for radio coverage out of doors, e.g. on factory sites. Installation A base station can be installed on a mast made of wood, plastic or concrete (not metal), on the roof of a building (preferably made of brick or light construction materials) or on the wall of a house. The mast used must be stable and wind-resistant.

NOTE: Choose the installation site to allow maximum visibility from the base station to the service area.

Example: Planning an outdoor area (Figure 15) NOTE: A base station installed in an attic directly beside a dormer window (no metal reinforcement in the window pane) is the alternative to outdoor housing for coverage of the outdoor area. Planning A site plan, for example, with a scale of 1:300 or 1:1000 is helpful for determining the base station installation site. The customers preferred radio area should be indicated on the map (subject to customer confirmation). Additional information about the types and heights of buildings is also helpful. Radio coverage can be adequately determined with the aid of the site plan and the information above.

Site plan, see Figure 15 This plan depicts a companys grounds with buildings A to G. It includes the type of construction and heights of these buildings. Birds eye perspective It is relatively simple to find the point which offers the best possible view of the grounds without any obstructions. Placement around the buildings C, E, F, and G is not feasible since the view from these buildings extends only to a few neighboring buildings. The view from buildings A and B is better. In the example, the decision was made to place the base station at building B rather than A. Note that the areas between buildings C and E as well as F, G, and A are covered. The radio waves can pass through brick building A, so that an area of about 10 meters beyond will still be covered. In practice, coverage can also be assumed for other outdoor areas as waves pass through the windows.

Reinforced concrete buildings or constructions with metal facades act as limiting factors. Areas behind these buildings are quasioptically blocked and must be considered not covered by the radio waves. Brick buildings can usually be penetrated so that significant parts of them are reached by the radio waves. The supply range, however, often stops less than 10 meters beyond these buildings.

3.5 Installing Base Stations 3.5.1 Ethernet Connection Cable


The DECT IP base stations are mounted using Ethernet cables that are terminated with an 8-pin shielded RJ45 connector. The feedthrough in the DECT IP base stations protective cover is 14 mm in diameter. Please take this dimension into account when choosing the RJ45 connector. The connection cable inserted into the RJ45 jack must be secured additionally with a cable tie to ensure suitable strain relief:

Installation: 1. First loop the cable tie around the protrusion on the printed circuit board:

3.5.2 Where Not To Install DECT IP base stations

CAUTION Security zones Areas designated by the customer as security zones, such as, intensive care units in hospitals or areas behind fire doors.

Ambient temperature/humidity Ambient temperature from +0C to +40C Avoid direct sunlight. In damp places, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, or in the immediate vicinity of heat sources (for example, heaters).

Radio area restriction In wall recesses or on thick or concrete and metal walls, if the radio supply area is behind them. A base station mounted on a steel or concrete pillar cannot supply the radio area which lies behind the pillar.

In lowered ceilings of metal (conductive materials, for example, carbon fibres). On metal walls Only if there is a safety distance of > 10 cm.

On metal storage shelves Only if there is a safety distance of > 3 m. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The installation site should not be in the immediate vicinity of other electronic equipment, such as, regular (corded) telephones, hi-fi systems or office or microwave equipment. Only if there is a safety distance1 of > 1 m. Directly beside neon/phosphorous lighting tubes, fire alarms, switchgear cabinets, transformer housings, motor housings. Only if there is a safety distance1 of > 1 m. Directly beside antennas of other communication systems. Only if there is a safety distance1 of > 3 m.

3.5.3 Where Should DECT IP base stations be installed?


Freely accessible, but near the ceiling (> 0.5 m away from the ceiling). (This prevents the base station being blocked by furniture.)

As centrally as possible in buildings, for example, in corridors or on walls of directly adjacent rooms (in the case of buildings of light construction materials).

Outdoor areas may be part of the coverage area.

NOTE: When planning the installation of base stations in buildings (determining the installation site), architectural plans (scale of about 1:1000) which show the structural type of the building can be very helpful. Near windows facing in the direction of the outdoor area to be covered. Outdoor housing, see Section 3.5.6.

4.2 Entering the DECT System Number (DECT ARI)


The DECT system number consists of eight hexadecimal characters and is unique worldwide for each DECT system. The DECT system number is the number used to identify the individual DECT systems and therefore to identify the radio signals (radio range). This permits the synchronization of mobile telephones logged on to the system. The DECT system number consists of: E/ARC (Access Right Code, 4-bit (first digit is always 1) EIC (Equipment Installers Code, 16-bit), FPN (Fixed Part Number, 8-bit), and FPS (Fixed Part Subnumber, 4-bit).

When installing the system for the first time, you must apply for the DECT system number which then applies to the entire HiPath Cordless IP server software (even in the event of service). The DECT system number is stored in the HiPath Cordless IP server software database. This system number should be stored safely (loss).

c07.fm Diagnosis and Maintenance Checking the Base Stations and the Radio Coverage

7 Diagnosis and Maintenance


7.1 Checking the Base Stations and the Radio Coverage
Do not use Gigaset mobile telephones to check the radio area coverage. This must be done with the Hicom Cordless Service tool (HCS-DECT). You can use Gigaset mobile telephones to test the base stations and verify the radio area coverage. A prerequisite is that the mobile telephone being used is logged on to the system, see the operating manual. The radio coverage is tested in two stages: Base station test Coverage test via the base stations (area coverage)

The following minimum values must be observed for the site survey of the radio range: 1. Providing handsets with an adequate DECT radio signal Handsets only receive a sufficiently sized DECT radio signal if they are located in the radio range of the DECT IP base station, that is: RSSI value <-70 dBm FRAQ value >95%

2. Distance of DECT IP base stations For the DECT synchronism function to work, the DECT IP base stations to be synchronized with each other must be defined in the HiPath Cordless IP server software. These DECT IP base stations must also be able to exchange their management information, i.e. they must be at least <-85 dBm apart. Failure to maintain these values results in a loss of radio signal or a loss of synchronism which prevents the handsets from roaming to another DECT IP base station.

74

A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

c07.fm Diagnosis and Maintenance Checking the Base Stations and the Radio Coverage

7.1.1 Base Stations


The purpose of this test is to check the functions of all base stations. Take the mobile telephone to each of the base stations. Holding the mobile telephone directly below, beside or above each base station, turn it off and on again. Display data, for example:

Synchronization between mobile telephone and base station

Service Base n

Radio connection to the base station is displayed on the screen as "Base n", for example.

No synchronization between mobile telephone and base station

Service Base n

"Base n" flashes, it means that the radio connection to the base station has been lost.

Set the mobile telephone to measuring mode.

NOTE: Values recorded with a mobile telephone are not very precise and are intended to provide a rough assessment only. In addition, different values may be recorded on each mobile telephone even though the ambient conditions are identical. If you require more accurate results, we recommended that you use the Hicom Cordless Service tool (HCS-DECT). Check: RSSI value (field strength value) RPN value (base station number) Does the mobile telephone pick up the connection (synchronization) with the base station to be tested? FRAQ value (transmission quality %)

A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

75

c07.fm Diagnosis and Maintenance Checking the Base Stations and the Radio Coverage

If the indicated values are not attained, use a second logged-on mobile telephone to check the value ranges. If the indicated values are not attained with the second mobile telephone, replace the base station.

WARNING The customer must be informed about the boundaries of the radio area.

Proceed with the area coverage test once the RSSI value, the availability and radio quality of all base stations has been checked.

7.1.2 Quick Verification of Area Coverage


The purpose of this test is to check whether the necessary field strength and the transmission quality is attained throughout the entire radio network. NOTE: Values recorded with a mobile telephone are not very precise and are intended to provide a rough assessment only. In addition, different values may be recorded on each mobile telephone even though the ambient conditions are identical. If you require more accurate results, we recommended that you use the Hicom Cordless Service tool (HCS-DECT).

Step 1 The purpose of this step is to provide the basis for step 2 where you will use a Gigaset mobile telephone to obtain a rough assessment of the area coverage. Switch the mobile telephone to measuring mode (see Section 7.2.2.1). Establish a voice connection between two mobile telephones. If you wish, you can use an announcement service (for example "speaking clock").

Step 2 This step involves obtaining a rough assessment of the area coverage. With a mobile telephone in measuring mode, move around the area in question and determine whether an RSSI value > 50 (-60 dBm) and a FRAQ value > 95% are reached throughout the area. In the process, the Range Warning feature can be used as an aid for recognizing the radio area boundaries. A warning tone (range warning) is

76

A31003-C1010-S100-5-7620, 04/2012 HiPath Cordless IP, Service Manual

c07.fm Diagnosis and Maintenance Testing the Radio Area

emitted as soon as you cross the border zone of the radio area. (To activate the range warning tone, use the "Tones" menu on the mobile telephone display.)

WARNING Areas in the corners of buildings or behind metal structures should be carefully checked (check the RSSI values several times).

In these radio area border zones, the radio connection to the base station may be lost in the case of the following values:
RSSI FRAQ < 40 (< -80 dBm) < 95%

The measuring sites with RSSI value < 40 (< -80 dBm) should be entered or marked in the building/site plan.

Step 3 If you require more accurate values than those obtained in step 2, we recommended that you use the Hicom Cordless Service tool (HCS-DECT).

7.2 Testing the Radio Area 7.2.1 Significance of Results Obtained


NOTE: Values recorded with a mobile telephone are not very precise and are intended to provide a rough assessment only. In addition, different values may be recorded on each mobile telephone even though the ambient conditions are identical. If you require more accurate results, we recommended that you use the Hicom Cordless Service tool (HCS-DECT) The following figure shows a sample display of the measuring results for a Gigaset mobile telephone when a call is in progress:

Check the radio area coverage DECT IP Base station (BSIP1) LED 1/2 Base station status Check active status of base station using the logged-on mobile telephone

See Section 6.3 PC No synchronism: "Base n" blinks on handset display. Handset measuring mode is activated: - Frequency/slot changes - RSSI value If this is not the case, perform the test on a different base station. If it is still unsuccessful, use a different handset. If it is still not possible to synchronize with a base station after repeated attempts, replace the base station.

Mobile telephone (MT) Logged-on mobile Synchronism symbol "Base n" (name = individual telephone, synchronized setting) on handset display is continuously visible, does with base station not blink.

7.3.2 What Happens If ...


7.3.2.1 Synchronism Symbol on Handset Display:
"Base n" flashes No synchronization to base station

1. Is the mobile telephone not logged on? 2. If the mobile telephone is logged on to multiple systems, is it switched to the correct system? Is automatic system selection activated? Check the base station.

"Base n" Synchronization to base station continuously visible 1. An error tone can be heard when the line key is but no action is pressed. possible

Temporary overload status (all the base station speech paths are busy). Wait, and try again. 2. Handset was not able to complete the locations request successfully (handset contact to the system). Workaround: Repeat locations request by switching off the handset and then switching it on again.

7.3.2.2 Handset Cannot Be Reached


1. Handset is called, caller hears ringing (followed by busy signal). Causes: handset being called is switched off OR handset is no longer within range OR the base station used is in overload status and there is no other base station within range. 2. Handset is called, call is always switched to another station. Handset has inadvertently activated call forwarding.

7.3.2.3 Connection Handover


Call disconnected on handover to another base station

1. Check whether or not the base station to which the call is handed over is in overload status (all radio channels busy). 2. Check the base station LEDs. 3. Check the overlap sectors. Is the RSSI value of the other base station OK? 4. Check if the two DECT IP base stations involved in the handover operation are synchronous. You can use the Gigasets measurement mode for this or the synchronism display in the HiPath Cordless IP server software .

7.3.2.4 Handset: Problems Logging On


Check first if the communication servers IP board and at least one DECT IP base station (in range) are operational. Is adequate synchronism guaranteed for the DECT IP base station in the HiPath Cordless IP system? Is the handset you want to log on configured on the communication server? Test this with a random phone (optiPoint/OpenStage model).
