DECT Repeater RT30

The DECT Repeater RT30 is a device designed to extend the range of Yealink DECT IP phones, such as the W60P. It is compliant with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT) standard.
The package contents include the RT30, base stand, power adapter and cable, and user guide. The device has a program key and LED status indicators for relay, DECT, and power.

LED Status

The following table shows the different LED status indicators for the RT30:

Radio Link Status

The DECT LED status indicator shows the radio link status with the base station. The following table shows the different statuses:

Installation

To install the RT30, follow these steps:

1. Connect the power for the repeater by plugging in the provided cable and USB power adapter to an outlet.
2. Attach the base stand by aligning the snap-fits with the corresponding holes and pushing forward to snap them into place.

Cascade Setup

The RT30 supports two types of cascade setup to extend the range in a single direction. The sequential or daisy chain layout can accommodate up to two repeaters, while the star layout can accommodate up to six repeaters registered to one base station. All repeaters must be installed within the base station coverage for the star layout. To support up to four calls, ensure that the firmware version is RT30 version 83.0.0.22 or later or W70B version 146.85.0.35 or later.

Registration

To register a repeater:

1. Plug the repeater into an AC outlet. The POWER LED turns green and the DECT LED flashes red.
2. Set the handset in RT30 repeater mode at the path: Settings->System Settings->Repeater Mode.
3. Set the base station in registration mode by long pressing the paging key until the first LED flashes green. If the base station is found, the DECT LED will flash orange.
4. When the DECT LED turns green/orange, registration to the base station is successful.

Cascade Registration

To register up to two repeaters in a cascade setup:

1. Register the two repeaters to the base station.
2. For cascade registration, place the two cascaded repeaters closer to each other.
3. One repeater attempts to register to the other repeater (destination repeater). If the destination repeater de-registers,the repeater does as well. Conversely, it does not.

Introduction

Yealink DECT repeater RT30 is designed in accordance with Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT) standard. It can be deployed to extend the range of the Yealink DECT IP phone (for example, W60P).
Note: To support up to four calls, please check the firmware version:
RT30 version: 83.0.0.22 or later; W70B version: 146.85.0.35 or later.

Multiple Repeaters

If the radio link level of RT30 is excellent to good, each repeater can have up to four calls (external and internal calls) at any time.
The repeater can be used to extend the range (up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside buildings) in a single direction or in all directions. The automatic handover process is seamless. If the repeater is placed properly (overlapping the coverage of the base station), the handsets can move freely within the total coverage while on a call.

Cascade setup:
RT30 supports a sequential or “daisy chain” layout to extend the range in a single direction. Up to 2 repeaters can be installed in this layout.

Star setup:
Up to 6 repeaters can be registered to one base station to extend the range in a star layout. All repeaters must be installed within the base station coverage, as shown in the figure below.

Registering the Repeater

Registration
If you want to register more than one repeater, in order to avoid ID conflict, we recommend that you put the repeaters closer to the base station and register the repeaters one by one.

1. Plug the repeater into an AC outlet.
   POWER LED turns green and DECT LED flashes red.

2. Set the handset in RT30 repeater mode at the path: Settings->System Settings->Repeater Mode.

3. Set the base station in registration mode (Long press the paging key on the base station till the first LED flashes green).
   If base station is found, DECT LED will flash orange.
   When DECT LED turns green/orange, the registration to base station is successful.

Cascade Registration
Up to 2 repeaters can be registered to the base station in a cascade setup.

Before the cascade registration, you should first register the two repeaters to the base station. For cascade registration, we recommend that you put the two cascaded repeaters closer to each other. One repeater attempts to register to the other repeater (destination repeater). If the destination repeater de- registers, the repeater does as well. Conversely, it does not.
The repeater supports automatic or manual cascade registration.

Auto Cascade Registration

1. Long press the program key on one repeater for about 3 seconds.
   The repeater starts searching for the other repeater, POWER LED turns orange and DECT LED flashes green.
   Wait until POWER LED turns green and DECT LED turns green/orange, auto cascade registration is successful.

Manual Cascade Registration

1. On one repeater:

   • Confirm the ID: Press the program key. The number of times that RELAY LED flashes indicates the ID. Press the program key again to return to the operation mode.

2. On the other repeater:

   • Long press the program key for about 3 seconds.

   • Press the program key as soon as POWER LED turns orange and DECT LED flashes green, to enter the repeater’s ID to be cascaded. Pressing once indicates that the ID is 1.
     POWER LED turns orange and DECT LED turns green.

   • Press the program key for about 3 seconds to confirm the ID.
     The repeater starts searching for the repeater to be cascaded, POWER LED turns green and DECT LED flashes orange.

Wait until POWER LED turns green and DECT LED turns green/orange, manual cascade registration is successful.

ID Modification
After registering to the base station, every repeater has its own ID, it uses ID to distinguish with each other. If the IDs of two repeaters conflict, you need to modify the ID manually.

1. Press the program key to confirm the ID.

2. Long press the program key for about 7 seconds to enter the ID modification mode.
   Both POWER LED and DECT LED turns red.

3. Press the program key to enter the new ID. Pressing once indicates that the ID is 1.
   The number of times that the RELAY LED flashes indicates the entered ID.

4. Long press the program key for about 3 seconds to confirm the ID.
   The repeater will re-register.

De-registration

1. Power off the repeater.
2. Long press the program key and reconnect the power adapter.
3. Hold the program key until the three LEDs turn red.
   When the DECT LED flashes red, and the de-registration is successful.

Placement

To achieve optimum performance for the repeater, it is important to find a appropriate location.

1. Hold the handset and stand near the base.
2. Make a call, and carry the handset away from the base.
3. Make a note where you start to hear noise on the line, which indicates the signal strength is getting weaker.

The optimum location for the repeater is as far from the base as possible while still maintaining a good signal, or just inside the location where the noise became noticeable.

Here are a few tips for placing repeaters:

• Choose a raised position for both the base station and repeater wherever possible.
• When positioning the repeater, avoid obstacles that can interfere with radio transmission, such as thick wall and metal structures.
• Place the repeater away from other electrical appliances, such as microwave ovens, Wi-Fi equipment and computers.
• Keep a minimum of 10 meters between multiple repeaters to avoid coverage overlapping.
