Preparing to use the telephone system
To start using your Gigaset N720 DECT IP Multicell System, you must now perform the
following steps:
u
Register base stations to the telephone system and synchronise them
u
Register handsets to the telephone system, configure and assign VoIP accounts
Registering base stations to the DECT Manager
Before starting to register the base stations, please ensure that you have the installation
plans available, which you created during the planning phase of your DECT network.
You need the
MAC address
of the installed base stations and the following planning data:
u
Name, location
You can select any name for the base station. This should contain its location, to enable
the relevant Gigaset N720 IP PRO to be found quickly for maintenance purposes.
u
Synchronisation level
Base stations that combine to form a DECT wireless network must synchronise with
one another to ensure a smooth transition of the handsets from cell to cell (handover).
As a base station in a multicell DECT network often has an inadequate connection to
some of the other base stations, you must set up a synchronisation hierarchy.
Detailed information about synchronisation planning can be found in "Gigaset N720
DECT IP Multicell System - Site Planning and Measurement Guide".
u
Cluster structure
Groups of base stations that are a long way apart must be assigned to different
clusters.
To register the base stations, set up clusters and define the synchronisation hierarchy,
please use the Web configurator on the DECT Manager. This is described in Section
Configuring the system on the DECT Manager
Please note
Synchronisation always refers to a cluster. You can set up several clusters that are not
synchronised with one another, so there is no possibility of a handover between
clusters.
