IP DECT:
1.1 Base Stations
When used with IP Office, the IP DECT supports up to 32 base stations. One base station is designated during installation
as the Avaya DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM) and is used to configure and control the IP DECT system. Note that a base
station is also called a Radio Fixed Part or RFP.
The following types of base station are supported for use with IP Office:
· RFP31: Indoor Base Station
No longer available and not supported in North America. This base station is for indoor use only. It has integral
aerials and can be powered by either a mains adapter or by 802.3af Power over Ethernet supply.
· RFP32: Indoor Base Station
This base station is for indoor use only. It has integral aerials and can be powered by either a mains adapter or by
802.3af Power over Ethernet supply. For Australia and New Zealand the mains adaptor is not currently supported.
· RFP33: Outdoor Base Station
No longer available and not supported in North America. This base station can be used outdoors or indoors. The
outdoor IP Base Station can only be powered by 802.3af Power over Ethernet.
· RFP34: Outdoor Base Station
This base station can be used outdoors or indoors. The outdoor IP Base Station can only be powered by 802.3af
Power over Ethernet.

Encryption
Each base station can handle simultaneous calls for up to 8 DECT phones at any time. Additional phones will connect to
the next nearest base station with sufficient signal strength if it has available capacity.
Groups of IP Base Station are called clusters. Within a Cluster, IP Base Stations are synchronized to enable a seamless
hand over when a user crosses from one IP Base Station’s zone of coverage to another. For synchronization, it is not
necessary for an IP Base Station to communicate directly with all other IP Base Stations in the system. Each IP Base
Station only needs to be able to communicate with the next IP Base Station in the chain. It is preferable for an IP Base
Station to see more than one IP Base Station to guarantee synchronization in the event that one of the IP Base Stations
fails.
Power over Ethernet Support
All the base stations can be used with Power over Ethernet (PoE). They are classified as Class 0 devices. Note that the
Avaya 1151 MidSpan Power Unit should not be used to provide power.
