PRODUCT
OVERVIEW
The
Digitally
Enhanced
Cordless
Telephone
(DECT)
system
allows
2
‐
way
voice
communications
amongst
staff,
both
internally
and
externally
if
required.
In
addition,
active
call
information
from
the
Touchsafe
Pro
Nursecall
system
can
be
sent
out
as
text
alerts
to
individuals
or
groups
of
staff
as
required.
The
size/complexity
of
the
building
and/or
the
number
of
DECT
handsets
required
will
determine
which
one
of
3
possible
DECT
systems
is
installed;
1.
IP
‐
DECT
400
Single
‐
Cell
system
for
small
installations
2.
IP
‐
DECT
400
Multi
‐
Cell
system
for
most
average
‐
sized
installations
3.
IP
‐
DECT
6500
system
for
large
or
complex
installations
All
DECT
systems
use
the
same
handsets,
it’s
the
Server
type
and
number
of
Base
Stations/Repeaters
that
are
needed
to
achieve
site
coverage
and
how
they
are
configured
which
differs.
The
type
of
DECT
system
and
positioning
of
Base
Stations/Repeaters
will
be
determined
by
a
site
survey
prior
to
commencing
the
installation.
All
Base
Stations
are
star
‐
wired
from
a
central
PoE
Data
Switch
on
Cat5e
cable
(max
length
100
metres).
Repeaters
operate
wirelessly
but
require
connection
to
a
battery
backed
12V
DC
power
supply.
In
the
event
of
a
mains
power
failure
a
UPS
(Uninterruptable
Power
Supply)
will
maintain
operation
of
the
DECT
system.
An
optional
Integrator
alarm
messaging
interface
can
be
installed
to
convert
the
Nursecall
Panel’s
pager
output
into
text
messages
which
are
transmitted
and
displayed
on
the
DECT
handsets.
The
DECT
system
can
be
setup
so
all
the
Nursecall
system
events
are
always
alerted
to
all
handsets,
or
day/night
groups
can
be
set
so
different
handsets
can
be
alerted
depending
on
the
time
of
day.
The
handsets
can
be
configured
into
zones
so
alerts
are
only
notified
to
the
staff
responsible
for
specific
areas.
With
the
addition
of
an
optional
IP
‐
PBX
(or
connection
to
an
existing
IP
‐
PBX)
the
DECT
handsets
can
access
an
outside
line
to
make/receive
telephone
calls
or
integrate
with
an
existing
internal
telephone
system.
