2 Introduction System Overview
In a typical telephony system, the network setup is the interconnection
between Base-stations, “fat” routers, repeaters, portable parts, etc. The
backbone of the network depends on the deployment scenario, but a ring or hub
topology is used. The network has centralized monitoring, and maintenance
system.
The model variant is included RTX9431 D200 (Avaya model), RFP 14 Base Station
NA (Mitel model) and 8328 SIP-DECT SINGLE BASE STATION (Alcatel model).
The system is easy to scale up and supports from 1 to 249 bases in the same
network. Further it can support up to 20 registered handsets (RTX8630, RTX8830
and RTX8430). The Small and Medium Scale Enterprise (SME) VoIP system setup is
illustrated below. Based on PoE interface each base station is easy to install
without additional wires other than the LAN cable. The system supports the IP
DECT CAT-IQ repeater RTX4024 with support up to 5 channels simultaneous call
sessions.
The following figure gives a graphical overview of the architecture of the SME
VoIP System:
2.1 Hardware Setup
SME network hardware setup can be deployed as follows: Base-station(s) are
connected via Layer 3 and/or VLAN Aware Router depending on the deployment
requirements. The Layer 3 router implements the switching function. The base-
stations are mounted on walls or lamp poles so that each base-station is
separated from each other by up to 50m indoor1 (300m outdoor). Radio coverage
can be extended using repeaters that are installed with same distance to
basestation(s). Repeaters are range extenders and cannot be used to solve
local call capacity issues. In this case additional bases must be used. The
base-station antenna mechanism is based on space diversity feature which
improves coverage. The base-stations uses complete DECT MAC protocol layer and
IP media stream audio encoding feature to provide up to 10 simultaneous calls.

2.2 Components of SME VoIP System
RTX SME VoIP system is made up of (but not limited to) the following
components: · At least one RTX Base Station is connected over an IP network
and using DECT as air-core interface. · RTX IP DECT wireless Handset. · RTX
SME VoIP Configuration Interface; is a management interface for SME VoIP
Wireless Solution. It runs on all IP DECT Base
stations. Each Base station has its own unique settings.
2.2.1 RTX Base Stations
The Base Station converts IP protocol to DECT protocol and transmits the
traffic to and from the end-nodes (i.e. wireless handsets) over a channel. It
has 12 available channels. In a dual-cell setup, each base station has: · 8
channels that have associated DSP resources for media streams. · The remaining
4 channels are reserved for control signaling between IP Base Stations and the
SIP/DECT end nodes (or
phones). If two Base Stations are used, they are grouped into a cluster.
Within the Cluster, Base Stations are synchronized to enable a seamless
handover when a user moves from one base station coverage to the other. It is
necessary for Base Stations to communicate directly with each other in the
system in order to guarantee synchronization in the situation that one of them
fails.
The 4 control signaling channels are used to carry bearer signals that enable
a handset to initiate a handover process.
2.2.2 SME VoIP Administration Server/Software
This server is referred to as SME VoIP Configuration Interface. The SME VoIP
Configuration Interface is a web-based administration page used for
configuration and programming of the base station and relevant network end-
nodes. E.g. handsets can be registered or de-registered from the system using
this interface. The configuration interface can be used as a setup tool for
software or firmware download to base stations, repeaters and handsets.
Further, it is used to check relevant system logs that can be useful to
administrator. These logs can be used to troubleshoot the system when the
system faces unforeseen operational issues.
2.2.3 RTX Wireless Handset
The handset is a lightweight, ergonomically, and portable unit compatible with
Wideband Audio (G.722), DECT, GAP standard, CAT-iq audio compliant. The
handset includes color display with graphical user interface. It can also
provide the subscriber with most of the features available for a wired phone,
in addition to its roaming and handover capabilities. Refer to the relevant
handset manuals for full details handset features.
2.3 Wireless Bands
The bands supported in the SME VoIP are summarized as follows: Frequency
bands: 1880 1930 MHz (DECT) 1880 1900 MHz (10 carriers) Europe/ETSI 1910
1930 MHz (10 carriers) LATAM 1920 1930 MHz (5 carriers) US
Transmit Power: 23.7 dBm in Europe mode.

2.5 Advantages of SME VoIP System
They include (but not limited to):
1. Simplicity. Integrating functionalities leads to reduced maintenance and
troubleshooting, and significant cost reductions.
2. Flexibility. Single network architecture can be employed and managed.
Furthermore, the architecture is amenable to different deployment scenarios,
including Isolated buildings for in-building coverage, location with co-
located partners, and large to medium scale enterprises deployment for wide
coverage.
3. Scalability. SME network architecture can easily be scaled to the required
size depending on customer requirement.
4. Performance. The integration of different network functionalities leads to
the collapse of the protocol stack in a single network element and thereby
eliminates transmission delays between network elements and reduces the call
setup time and packet fragmentation and aggregation delays.

3 Installation of Base Stations/Repeater
After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location
the relevant base stations will be installed. Therefore, we briefly describe
the how to install the base station in this chapter.
3.1 Package Contents/Damage Inspection
Before Package Is Opened: Examine the shipping package for evidence of
physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of
mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support
center of the regional representative or operator.
Contents of Package: Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step. Every shipped base unit package/box contains the following items:
x Box for Base station (DC+PoE) unit + PSU o 1 x Base Station unit o 1 x Ethernet cable 1m o 1 x Power supply single plug o 1 x Quick guide o 1 x Safety sheet
Depending on the manufacturer P/N, the DC adaptor type may vary as listed below:
Manufacturer P/N
S008ACM0500200 S010WB0500200 S010WV0500200 S010WU0500200 S010WS0500200
DC adaptor plug type by countries

x Box for PoE only Base station unit o 1 x Base Station unit o 1 x Ethernet
cable 1m o 1 x Quick guide o 1 x Safety sheet
x Spare accessories o PSU single plug o PSU multi plug
Please note that mounting screws and anchors are not added in the packaging.
Damage Inspection: The following are the recommended procedure for you to use
for inspection:
SME VOIP SYSTEM GUIDE 4.7 Proprietary and Confidential
13 | P a g e
1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. Make a “defective on
arrival DOA” report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton
until the operator
has examined it. If possible, send pictures of the damage. The
operator/regional representative will initiate the necessary procedure to
process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how to return
the damaged package if necessary. 3. If no damage is found, then unwrap all
the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in accordance with
country specific environmental regulations.
3.2 RTX Base Station Mechanics
RTX9431 can operate on a maximum temperature of 50. With such small dimensions
as 109mm (height) and 93mm (width), it allows the user to mount the device on
the wall or easily leave it standing on any furniture. (please see image below
for more details).
Alternative mechanics casing.
The base station front end shows an LED indicator that signals different functional states of the base unit and occasionally of the overall network. The indicator is off when the base unit is not powered. The table below summarizes the various LED states:

Symptoms include no system/SIP debug logs are logged, etc. Press reset button of base station. No IP address received
3.3 RTX Base Unit Reset feature
It is possible to restart or reset the base station unit by pressing a knob at
the bottom side of the unit (see image below). Alternatively, it can be reset
from the SME Configuration Interface. We do not recommend this; but unplugging
and plugging the Ethernet cable back to the PoE port of the base station also
resets the base unit.
3.4 Installing the Base Station
First determine the best location that will provide an optimal coverage taking
account the construction of the building, architecture, and choice of building
materials. Next, mount the Base Station on a wall to cover range between 50
300 meters (i.e. 164 to 984 feet), depending whether it’s an indoor or outdoor
installation.
3.4.1 Mounting the Base Stations/Repeaters:
We recommend the base station to be mounted an angle other than vertical on
both concrete/wood/plaster pillars and walls for optimal radio coverage. Avoid
mounting the base unit’s upside down as it significantly reduces radio
coverage.
As mentioned before, the screws and anchors are not included in the packaging.
Therefore, you will have to provide your own two pieces of screws M3.5 x 31mm.
The distance between them is 70mm (please see the images below). The height of
wall mount is suggested to be less than or equal to 2 meters.
SME VOIP SYSTEM GUIDE 4.7 Proprietary and Confidential
15 | P a g e
Mount the base unit as high as possible (not more than 2m) to clear all nearby objects (e.g. office cubicles and cabinets, etc.). Occasionally extend coverage to remote offices/halls with lower telephony users by installing Repeaters. Make sure that when you fix the base stations with screws, the screws do not touch the PCB on the unit. Secondly, avoid all contacts with any high voltage lines.
3.5 Find IP of Base Station
To find IP of the installed base station two methods can be used; Using
handset Find IP feature or browser IPDECT feature.
3.5.1 Using handset Find IP feature
On the handset press “Menu” key followed by the keys: 47 to get the handset
into find bases menu. The handset will now scan for 8660 / 9431 bases.
Depending on the amount of powered on bases with active radios and the
distance to the base it can take up to minutes to find a base.
– Use the cursor down/up to select the base MAC address for the base that you want to connect to – The base IP address will be shown in the display below the MAC address of the device
The feature is also used for deployment.
3.5.2 Using browser IPDECT
Open any standard browser and enter the address: http://ipdect<MAC-Address-
Base-Station> for e.g. http://ipdect00087B00AA10. This will retrieve the HTTP
Web Server page from the base station with hardware address 00087B00AA10. This
feature requires an available DNS server.
3.6 Login to Base SME Configuration Interface
1. Connect the Base station to a private network via standard Ethernet cable
(CAT-5).
2. Use the IP find menu in the handset (Menu 4 7 ) to determine the IP- address of the base station by matching the MAC address on the back of the base station with the MAC address list in the handset

3. On the Login page, enter your authenticating credentials (i.e. username
and password). By default, the username and password are admin. Click OK
button.
4. Once you have authenticated, the browser will display front end of the SME
Configuration Interface. The front end will show relevant information of the
base station. Screenshot:
4 Making Handset Ready
In this chapter, we briefly describe how to prepare the handset for use,
install, insert and charge new batteries. Please refer to an accompanying
Handset User Guide for more information of the features available in the
Handset.

4.1 Package Contents/Damage Inspection
Before Package Is Opened: Examine the shipping package for evidence of
physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of
mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support
center of the regional representative or operator.
Contents of Package: Make sure all relevant components are available in the
package before proceeding to the next step. Every shipped base unit
package/box contains the following items:
x 2 x mounting screws and 2 x Anchors x 1 x Handset hook x 1 x A/C Adaptor x 1
x Battery x 1 x charger x 1 x Handset Unit, 1 x Battery cover
Damage Inspection: The following are the recommended procedure for you to use
for inspection:
1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. Make a “defective on
arrival DOA” report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton
until the operator
has examined it. The operator/regional representative will initiate the
necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network
administrator on how to return the damaged package if necessary. 3. If no
damage is found, then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty
package/carton(s) in accordance with country specific environmental
regulations.
4.2 Before Using the Phone
Here are the pre-cautions users should read before using the Handset:
Installing the Battery 1. Never dispose battery in fires, otherwise it will
explode. 2. Never replace the batteries in potentially explosive environments,
e.g. close to inflammable liquids/ gases. 3. ONLY use approved batteries and
chargers from the vendor or operator. 4. Do not disassemble, customize, or
short circuit the battery
Using the Charger Each handset is charged using a handset charger. The charger
is a compact desktop unit designed to charge and automatically maintain the
correct battery charge levels and voltage. The charger Handset is powered by
AC supply from 110-240VAC that supplies 5.5VDC at 600mA. When charging the
battery for the first time, it is necessary to leave the handset in the
charger for at least 10 hours before the battery is fully charged and the
handset ready for use.
SME VOIP SYSTEM GUIDE 4.7 Proprietary and Confidential
18 | P a g e
Handset in the Charger For correct charging, ensure that the room temperature
is between 5 and 25/41°F and 77°F. Do not place the handset in direct
sunlight. The battery has a built-in heat sensor which will stop charging if
the battery temperature is too high. If the handset is turned off when placed
in charger, only the LED indicates the charging. When handset is turned off,
the LED flashes at a low frequency while charging and lights constantly when
the charging is finished. There will be response for incoming calls. If the
handset is turned on when charging, the display shows the charging status.
Open Back Cover 1. Press down the back cover and slide it towards the bottom
of the handset. 2. Remove Back Cover from Handset
– Handset Serial Number The serial number (IPEI/IPUI number) of each handset is found either on a label, which is placed behind the battery, or on the packaging label. First, lift off handset back cover and lift the battery and read the serial number. The serial number is needed to enable service to the handset. It must be programmed into the system database via the SME VoIP Configuration interface.
– Replace Battery Remove Back Cover from Handset. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one.

Please refer to the handset manual for detailed description of how to use the
handset feature.
5 SME VoIP Administration Interface
The SME VoIP Administration Interface is also known as SME VoIP Configuration.
It is the main interface through which the system is managed and debugged. The
SME VoIP Configuration Interface is an in-built HTTP Web Server service
residing in each base station. This interface is a user-friendly interface and
easy to handle even to a first-time user. NOTE: Enabling secure web is not
possible. For secure configuration use, secure provisioning. This chapter
seeks to define various variables/parameters available for configuration in
the network.
5.1 Web navigation

5.3 Extensions
In this section, we describe the different parameters available whenever the
administrator is creating extensions for handsets. Note, it is not possible to
add extensions if no servers are defined. As well the section describes the
administration of extensions and handsets using the extension list and the
extension list menu.
The system can handle maximum 1000 extensions matching 1000 handsets which can be divided between servers. When 1000 handsets are registered it is not possible to add more extensions. With active multiline feature, the system can handle maximum 1000 extensions. With 4 active lines in multiline maximum 200 handsets can be active in the system.
Note: Within servers or even with multi servers, extensions must always be unique. This means same extension number on server 1 cannot be re-used on server 2.
5.3.1 Group call
Call Group is a SIP extension where multiple handsets are associated. All
handsets that subscribe to a given extension (and hence Call Group) can
receive incoming calls and initiate outgoing calls on the given extension. It
is possible for any handset to perform any call action which is possible
without the Call Group feature. That is, call actions as Hold, transfer etc.
are possible if the PBX supports them.
When an incoming call arrives to a given Call Group, all Call Group subscribed
handsets will alert. Thus, if a Call Group contains 20 handsets, all 20
handsets will alert. An alerting handset cannot receive another incoming call,
and therefore if a handset subscribes for multiple Call Groups, and a call
arrives for a 2nd Call Group while the handset is alerting, the handset will
not receive this call. If DND is enabled for a given handset, it will not
receive the incoming call.
For outgoing calls, it can be selected in the handset which line (i.e. Call
Group) to use for the call. The maximum number of lines is 20. For any
outgoing actions, the settings for the selected line (SIP extension) will be
used.
NOTE: Group call, does not work with paired headset.

will do it. Sometimes call distinguished ringing. It enables the server to
control what ring tone that is used on the handsets. When we have two calls,
and one call is on hold, it is possible to perform attended transfer. When the
transfer soft key is pressed in this situation, we have traditionally also put
the active call on hold before the SIP REFER request is sent. However, we have
experienced that some PBX’s do not expect that the 2nd call is put on hold,
and therefore attended transfer fails on these PBX’s. The “Attended Transfer
Behavior” feature defines whether the 2nd call shall be put on hold before the
REFER is sent. If “Hold 2nd Call” is selected, the 2nd call will be held
before REFER is sent. If “Do Not Hold 2nd Call” is selected, the 2nd call will
not be held before the REFER is sent This is Part of BroadWorks SCA feature.

DESCRIPTION
If DHCP is enabled, the device automatically obtains TCP/IP parameters.
Possible value(s): Static, DHCP DHCP: IP addresses are allocated automatically
from a pool of leased address. Static IP: the network administrator manually
assigns IP addresses. If the user chooses DHCP option, the other IP settings
or options are not available. 32-bit IP address of device (e.g. base station).
64-bit IP address will be supported in the future. Permitted value(s):
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD Is device subnet mask. Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
This is a 32-bit combination used to describe which portion an IP address
refers to the subnet and which part refers to the host. A network mask helps
users know which portion of the address identifies the network and which
portion of the address identifies the node. Device’s default network
router/gateway (32-bit). Permitted value(s): AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD e.g. 192.168.50.0
IP address of network router that acts as entrance to another network. This
device provides a default route for TCP/IP hosts to use when communicating
with other hosts on hosts networks. Main server to which a device directs

5.5.2 VLAN Settings
Enable users to define devices (e.g. Base station, etc.) with different
physical connection to communicate as if they are connected on a single
network segment.
The VLAN settings can be used on a managed network with separate Virtual LANs
(VLANs) for sending voice and data traffic. To work on these networks, the
base stations can tag voice traffic it generates on a specific “voice VLAN”
using the IEEE 802.1q specification.

DESCRIPTION
Is a 12-bit identification of the 802.1Q VLAN. Permitted value(s): 0 to 4094
(only decimal values are accepted) A VLAN ID of 0 is used to identify priority
frames and ID of 4095 (i.e. FFF) is reserved. Null means no VLAN tagging or No
VLAN discovery through DHCP. This is a 3-bit value that defines the user
priority. Values are from 0 (best effort) to 7 (highest); 1 represents the
lowest priority. These values can be used to prioritize different classes of
traffic (voice, video, data, etc.). Permitted value(s): 8 priority levels
(i.e. 0 to 7) Default disabled. By enabled the VLAN ID is automatic
synchronized between the bases in the chain. Bases will be automatic rebooted
during the synchronization.

RFC3927 Static IP fall back.
Static IP address fall back – RFC3927 If a base station boots without a DHCP
server on the network, it boots up using static IP as defined in RFC3927. Base
continuously request IP and after 3min. the base enters static IP address in
range: 169.254.x.x

Description
The maximum number of handsets or SIP end nodes that are permitted to perform
location registration on a specific Base unit before load is distributed to
other base units. The parameter can be used to optimize the handset
distribution among visible base stations. Note: A maximum of 8 simultaneous
calls can be routed through each Base unit in a multi-cell setup. Permitted
Input: Positive Integers (e.g. 6) Disable this option so it is possible to use
same extension (i.e. SIP Account) on multiple phones (SIP end nodes). These
phones will ring simultaneously for all incoming calls. When a phone (from a
SIP account group) initiates a handover from Base X to Base Y, this phone will
de-register from Base X, and register to Base Y after a call. Permitted Input:
Disabled: No SIP de-registration will be made when a handset
roams to another base station Enabled: The old SIP registration will be
deleted with a SIP Deregistration, when a handset roams to another base
station Select between basic base configurations. 50/3 : 50 bases and 3
repeaters 127/1 : 127 bases and 1 repeater 254/0 : 254 bases and 0 repeater
The configuration cannot be modified after a system is established. The
configuration must be set during first multicell configuration.

5.15 Alarm
In the Alarm Settings menu, it is controlled how an alarm appears on the
handset. For example, if the handset detects “Man Down”, then it is defined in
this menu what alarm signal this type of alarm will send out and if a pre-
alarm shall be signaled etc.
The Alarm is activated by a long press on the Alarm key (3 sec).

All configuration of the handset Alarm Settings is done from the base station.
The concept is that on the “Alarm” page on the web server, eight different
alarm profiles can be configured. Afterwards for each handset, it can be
selected which of the configured alarm profiles, the given handset shall
subscribe to. When this is done the selected alarm, profiles are sent to the
handset.

5.15.1 Use of Emergency Alarms
As described above, it can be configured if it shall be possible to stop an
alarm from the handset. If the possibility to stop an alarm from the handset
is disabled, it is ensured that an alarm is not stopped before someone at e.g.
an emergency center has received the alarm and reacted upon it.
The behavior of a handset when an alarm “is sent” depends on the configured
Alarm Signal: x Call: When the Alarm Signal is configured as “Call”, the
handset will make a call to the specified emergency number, and the alarm is
considered stopped when the call is terminated. If it is not allowed to stop
the alarm from the handset, it will not be possible to terminate the call from
handset, and the alarm will be considered as stopped only when the remote end
(e.g. the emergency center) terminates the call. x Message: When the Alarm
Signal is configured as “Message”, the handset will send an alarm message to
the specified alarm server, and enable auto answer mode. If Howling is
enabled, the handset will also start the Howling tone. The alarm will not stop
until a call is made, and since auto answer mode is enabled, the emergency
center can make the call, and the person with the handset does not have to do
anything to answer the call, it will answer automatically. Again, the alarm is
considered stopped, when the call is terminated with the same restrictions as
for the Call alarm signal.
All type of alarms have the same priority. This means that once an alarm is
active, it cannot be overruled by another alarm until the alarm has been
stopped. However, if the alarm is not yet active, i.e. if it is in “pre-alarm”
state and an alarm configured with no pre-alarm is fired, then the new alarm
will become active and stop the pending alarm. Alarms with no pre-alarm are
considered important, and there is no possibility to cancel them before they
are sent, and therefore alarms with no pre-alarm, are given higher priority
than alarms in pre-alarm state.
The Emergency Button could be an example of an alarm which would be configured
without pre-alarm. Thus, when the Emergency Button is pressed you want to be
sure the alarm is sent. However, if another alarm was already in pre-alarm
state, it could potentially be cancelled, and if the Emergency Button alarm
was ignored in this case, no alarm would be sent. This is the reason alarms
with no pre-alarm, are given higher priority than alarms in pre-alarm state.
For detailed description on how to alarm please see Alarms HOW-TO guide. Link
is found in Appendix.
