Installing Spectralink IP-DECT Base Sta-
tion
Below you will find information about installing the base station.
Note:
Before you install the equipment, ensure that a site planner defines the location of the
base stations.
Before you begin the installation, determine the position of the base station for best cov-
erage. The average coverage within buildings is 30 meters/100 feet.
The coverage depends on the construction of the building, architecture, and the choice of
building materials.
