Note:
The base stations installed on the different sites must not have any overlap with base sta-
tions from other sites - therefore, the physical distance between locations is important. If
overlap cannot be avoided, then it is necessary to use zone based paging.
Using Zone Based Paging
Note:
Repeaters cannot be used with zone based paging. Replace existing repeaters with
base stations, if any.
Only Spectralink DECT Handset 7202/7212, 7502, 7522/7532, 7622/7642 and
7722/7742 with firmware PCS 19K_ or newer support zone based paging.
Only Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Servers with firmware PCS 19C_ or newer
support zone based paging.
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations will use zone based paging in case you have designed zones for
your site(s), defined base station numbers (RPN) and assigned RPN's to a zone. For selecting zone
based paging as paging method, see
"Configuring Wireless Server Settings" on page 145
Note:
Assigning RPN's are essential for using zone based paging, as the RPN decides which
zone the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station will be part of.
Enabling
Zone based paging
ensures automatic update of handset locations.
The advantage of dividing sites into zones is that instead of paging all base stations (all sites) when
an incoming call arrives, the system can now just page the relevant zone where the handset was last
registered. All handsets, that are turned on, can be located in the system. When moving the handset
from one zone to another, a location registration occurs (the handset automatically sends a message
to the server about position and zone).
Example of Defining Sites, Zones and Assigning Numbers to Base Stations
Limitations are maximum 1024 Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations on a Spectralink IP-DECT
Server 6500/maximum 2048 Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station on a Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT
Server One, and maximum 256 Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations on a site. The Spectralink IP-
DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server can have up to 256 sites. The sites can have different numbers of
base station connected - the total of base stations connected on the overall system cannot exeed the
1024/2048 though.
When defining a site, it is important to determine the maximum size of the location (max. amount of
Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations in each zone). The zones do not need to have the defined max-
imum amount of Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations physically installed, but the assigned RPN's to
a zone must match the zone size, and the physically installed Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations
have RPN's within that range. Also consider having room for scaling the system with a couple of
more base stations, if it turns out that more base stations are needed in one of the zones.
