4.8 Intelligent Base Stations
4.8.1 Detailed description
This notice describes the rules to follow for an installation comprising three or four DECT
bases.
For a larger installation, a preliminary study must be carried out using coverage tools. The
bases are then installed according to the results of this study.
4.8.1.1 CONNECTION
The Alcatel-Lucent 4070 IO is designed for internal installation in the building, while the
Alcatel-Lucent 4070 EO is designed for external installation.
The 4070 EO IBS comes in a plastic box and is protected against temperature variation.
The 2 antennae are outside the box so that they both have the same signal reception.
Intelligent Base Stations (IBS) are fitted with a red LED that gives information about the state
of the Base Station:
- Fixed LED:
1. Software downloading
2. Initialization phase, waiting for synchronization
3. Software problem, IBS stopped.
- Fast blink: There is a problem with the line.
- Short ON, long OFF: Running on 1 UA link.
- 500ms OFF, 500ms ON: Running on 2 UA link.
The IBSs can run and be powered remotely by the UA access (this is the most common
configuration). But they can also be powered by a power device. This is used when there are a
lot of IBSs and the system power cannot support all the connected IBSs.
A base station may be connected to 1 or 2 UA links (UAI boards) and allows 3 or 6
simultaneous connections with DECT/GAP terminals.
The need for three or six communication channels depends on the number of cordless stations
and on the DECT traffic to be managed.
In the event of a two-cable connection:
- use two interfaces neighboring a UAI board
- use the even-numbered interface for the master link and the other for the slave link.
