Installation of Repeater

After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location the repeater. The repeater should be mounted as high as possible (2 meters or higher).
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 repeater package/box contains the following items:

• 1 x Power supply
• 1 x Repeater
• 1 x Table stand
• 1 x Safetysheet

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. 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 Poly Base Station Mechanics
The repeaters front end shows an LED indicator that signals different functional states of the repeater.
The indicator is off when the repeater is not powered on.

Hardware installation:

The repeater should be mounted on a wall in a height less than 2 meters.
Screws and Anchors needed (Not supplied by Poly)
2x Screws = Screw wall mount M3.5×31
2x Anchors: Length 29,6mm, OD 6,0mm, ID 4,8mm

NOTE: The repeater should be mounted on a wall not higher than 2 meters

3.4 Recommended external DC adapters

Repeater registration options:
There are 2 different ways to register Poly repeater’s “Local Automatic” and “Manually”

Local Automatic:
In this mode the repeater registers to the base station with best signal strength, this option is only recommended for single cell systems and Multi cell systems where the repeater is only able to sync with one specific base station.

Manually:
Manual registration is used in most cases when adding repeaters to a multi cell system. Manual registration allows to determine what base stations the repeater must connect to.

Register repeater(s) “Local Automatic”:

NOTE : Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station

NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption.

Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page.

Step 2: Click” Add Repeater” and select “Local Automatic” from the dropdown

Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press “save”

Step 4: Power on the repeater(s) and registration will start.

When the LED is steady green the repeater is successfully registered. Screen shot

Register repeater(s) “Manually”:

NOTE: Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station

NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption.

Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page.

Step 2: Click” Add Repeater” and select “Manually” from the dropdown

Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press “save”

Step 4: select what base station the repeater needs to register to “DECT sync source” drop down

In this case there are three base stations in the multicell (RPN00, RPN04 and RPN08) and three repeaters can be connected to each base station.

Select the base station the repeater needs to register to.
E.g. RPN04

Step 5: Select the RPN for the repeater.

ERROR: The repeater will choose the first available slot on the selected base station. RPN x: The repeater connects to RPN x of the chosen base station.

E.g. Base station RPN04 + RPN1 repeater, then the repeater connects to “RPN5”

Firmware update:

The repeaters are updated over air.

Step 1: Navigate to Firmware Update page

Step 2: Enter “Firmware Update server address”, “Firmware path” and DECT402x firmware version

NOTE: Repeater firmware do not follow the normal version numbers.
