ADMM Web Access: IP DECT Base Stations
IP DECT Base Station States
For each IP Base Station the state of the DECT subsystem is displayed. The states are:
· Synchronous
The IP Base Station is up and running. The IP Base Station recognises and is recognised by other IP Base Stations
in its cluster through its air interface and delivers a synchronous clock signal to the phones.
· Asynchronous but active
The IP DECT Base Station has not been able to synchronize to its neighbours yet. No DECT communication is
possible, nevertheless the IP Base Station has already been able to connect the ADMM. This phase should only last
for a few seconds after starting up the IP Base Station or the ADMM. If this state lasts longer, it maybe an
indication of a hardware or network failure.
· Searching
The IP Base Station has lost synchronization to its neighbours. No DECT communication is possible. This phase
should only last for a few seconds after starting up the IP Base Station or the ADMM. If this state lasts longer or is
re-entered after being in a synchronous state, it maybe an indication of a bad location of the IP Base Station.
· Inactive
The IP Base Station is connected to the ADMM but the air interface has not been switched on yet. For any IP Base
Station with activated DECT functionality, this phase should last only for a few seconds after starting up the IP
Base Station. If this state lasts longer, it may indicate a hardware failure.
· Not connected
The IP Base Station was configured but has not connected to the ADMM yet.
The IP address column displays the current IP address of an IP Base Station.
ADMM/Base Station Software Version Check
All base stations within the IP DECT system must run the same version of software as the ADMM base station. When the
Base Stations connect to the ADMM they submit their software version. If this version differs from the ADMM software
version the Base Station connection attempt is rejected.
This could happen when using several DHCP servers with different IP DECT software versions. In this case the Base
Station is marked with an error message. Moreover a global error message is displayed on the IP Base Station list web
page if at least one version mismatch has been found.
Upgrading the ADMM\Base Station Software
The latest version of the software can be found on the Administration CD.
1.Backup the ADMM configuration using the System | Backup menu.
2.Install the upgrade software on the TFTP server.
3.If using DHCP amend the DHCP settings to match the new software file name. If the base stations were statically
configured, use the ADMM Configurator tool to amend the file name stored by each base station.
4.Restart the ADMM. The TFTP server will upgrade the ADMM at startup.
5.Restart any existing IP Base Stations.
6.Through the IP DECT Base Stations menu check that there are no software version conflicts.
