3.3.6.1.3 Architecture providing DECT services
The OmniPCX Media Gateway is equipped with a hardware board which connects to a base station.
The base Station connects to a UA (digital) port on the Media gateway. There are several types of
boards providing UA ports:
UAI board
The UAI board comes in different models: UAI4, UAI8, or UAI16
Mixed board
The Mixed board provides mixed interfaces: ISDN (T0) / UA / analog (SLI) out of all the installed
mixed boards; the UA port support is 0, 2, or 4.

Each base station is connected to two consecutive ports on a UAI or MIX coupler board. The master
link for each base station must be declared in system configuration settings on an even-numbered
equipment location (e.g., 4) and physically connected to the board by a 2-pair cable.
The following diagram illustrates the architecture details:
A site survey is mandatory and is the only way to determine the number of necessary base stations
and avoid gaps in user coverage.
