WTIM8
The eight (8)-channel Wireless Terminal Interface gateway Module (WTIM8) provides eight (8)
interfaces for the GDC-400B, which is a DECT base station classified as the Remote Fixed Part
(RFP) in the DECT specification. DECT handsets can be used if the GDC-400B is connected to
the WTIM8 and the proper attendant programming is completed. The WTIM8 contains a
processor for IP to TDM and signaling conversion and DSP circuitry to provide trans-coding for
each channel. The GDC-400B can be connected to the WTIM8 up to 600 meters from the
gateway using 24 AWG twisted pair cabling.
The WTIM8 includes a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface as well as packet voice processing
functions. The Ethernet port incorporates auto MDI, MDIX switching, therefore, both straight and
cross cables can be used.
