5.3 IP DECT Base Stations

This menu lists all configured IP DECT base stations including the ADMM base station.

· Clusters

To ensure the hand over of a phone between base stations during a call, all base in a physical area need to

synchronize with each other by exchanging wireless signals. See Base Station Synchronization . This is achieved

by placing the IP Base Stations sufficiently close to each other that each base station is in range of at least one

other base station. There may be cases where the base stations on one part of the LAN network are not in

synchronization range of the other base stations. Each group of base stations needs to be given a cluster number.

The ADMM will then not try to synchronize groups of base stations that are not within range of each other.

1.Using a web browser login to the ADMM base station.

2.From the Home menu select IP DECT Base Stations

3.The base stations are grouped into their configured clusters and sorted by their Ethernet addresses.

· The IP DECT Station running ADMM is displayed in bold font.

· Each IP Base Station is identified by its Ethernet address (6 byte hex format, colon separated). The Ethernet

address is unique and can be found on the back of the chassis.

· The icon indicates a base stations whose MAC address has been entered into the Licensing menu as

part of the IP DECT systems licensing. Removal or loss of communication with such a base station will affect

operation of the whole IP DECT system.

· The Active and Synchronous fields are used to indicate the state of operation of base stations. See the

table below.

4.A base station can be deleted by pressing the trash icon . However, the IP Base Station running ADMM cannot

be deleted. Caution should be taken not to delete base stations that have been used as part of the systems

licensing or which are providing a synchronization signal to another base station that does not have a alternate

base station with which to synchronize.

5.New base stations are added by clicking on New. Similarly existing base stations can be edited by clicking on the

icon. Note that base stations cannot be added until the IP Regions have been added to the configuration.

· MAC Address

This is normally printed on a label on the base station. The MAC address of existing connected base stations

cannot be changed.

· Location

This is used for information only. It allows you to note where the base station is physically located. The string

be up to 20 characters.
