5 Installation of the Base Station
This section describes how to install the IPBS and BS3x0. Both base stations can be fixed to
a wall, a ceiling, a pole or a beam, by means of the mounting bracket included. When
fixing the base station to a wall or ceiling the included plugs and screws must be used.
When fixing it to a pole or beam a strap or a flexible metal band must be used, this is not
included.
Note: Fixing the base station to metal surfaces requires special consideration and is not
recommended for several reasons. If this is unavoidable try to ensure a distance between
the base station and the metal surface of, preferably, 1 meter.
If this is not possible to
achive the best option to use is base station with internal antennas/BS330.
5.1 Base Station Cabling
Recommended base station cable is a standard CAT5 unshielded ethernet cable with
minimum 26 AWG copper conductors, this cable is also used for powering the base
station. It is assumed that installation personnel know how to crimp RJ45 connectors to a
cable.
Note: Since the distance between the base station and the wall is limited, a RJ45 modular
jack without cable retention must be used.
Note: Ensure that during the installation of an base station, each base station is given an
extra length (5-10 metres) of cable because it is possible that it will have to be moved for
one reason or another.
5.2 Install the Base Station
The base station can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Mount the base station at
places and positions as determined in the base station plan, see System Planning, Ascom
IP-DECT, TD 92422GB. The base station must be placed in a way that it is not facing large
metal objects such as large heating pipes.
5.2.1 Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Wall
Fix the mounting bracket (see figure 4 on page 19) to the wall as follows:
1 Hold the mounting bracket with its flat side against the wall with the text ‘TOP’
upwards and mark the two holes. The minimum distance between the upper hole
and the ceiling or any object above the base station must be at least 65 mm, see
Figure 4. If the distance is less than 65 mm, the base station cannot be slid onto the
bracket.
2 When using wall plugs: Drill the two holes using a ∅ 6 mm drill and insert the
included wall plugs.
3 Position the mounting bracket with its flat side to the wall and fasten it with the
two included ∅ 3.5 mm screws.
