What is DECT?
DECT is the acronym used for Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephony or
Telecommunications a global open specification offering speech quality equal to that
found on a fixed line. Conversations are fully secure thanks to the speech channel
encryption.
During the registration process, why does the Master handset detect
more than one ID number?
This will happen when the handset detects another DECT system within its
transmission range which is in subscription mode. Subscription will only be allowed
to the CS100 system whose ID number is on the base of the unit. This does not
breach any safety or security issues.
If I have added Repeaters to my configuration, can I also add more
handsets?
The function of a Repeater is to extend the area of coverage for your existing
handsets. If does not add to the capacity of the existing configuration (i.e. more
channels).
I have recently installed a Repeater in my facility, but I cannot register
it with the CS100 System.
When you register a Repeater to the system, it must be situated within the coverage
area of the CS100 Base Station.
Why can fewer people make or receive calls in the coverage area of a
Repeater or Repeater Chain than within the coverage area of the
CS100 Base Station?
A Repeater is not designed to increase the capacity of the coverage area, meaning
that the CS100 System including Repeaters still has a maximum of 6 simultaneous
traffic channels. However, only the CS100 Base Station itself can provide service to
all these channels within its range. A Repeater ‘borrows’ 2 channels for its extended
coverage area, meaning that if you are only within range of the Repeater and not the
CS100 Base Station, you will only have access to the 2 traffic channels as illustrated
below:
