About the IP DECT Wireless Solution

The DECT over IP system comprises the following components:

IP DECT Base Stations
These are connected to the LAN. Up to 32 base stations are supported for IP Office, with each able to host up to 8 simultaneous calls. Different models of bases station are available for indoor and outdoor location usage, using either mains outlet power or Power over Ethernet (PoE). The base stations use G711, G723.1 and G729ab on the LAN side.
Avaya DECT Mobility Manager (ADMM)
One base station is used as the management interface to the IP DECT network. This base station is referred to as the ADMM. It is managed using network access from a web browser.
Licensing
The IP DECT system is licensed through entry of a license key into the IP DECT system configuration. The license controls the number of base stations supported.
IP Office Control Unit
The IP Office, ADMM and the IP Base Stations communicate across the LAN infrastructure. The IP DECT Base Stations and the IP DECT phones communicate wirelessly.
Voice Compression Channels
The control unit must be fitted with voice compression channels. A channel is required for all calls between an IP DECT phone and a non-IP device such as external trunks and non-IP phones. Calls between an IP DECT phone and other IP devices typically only require a channel during call setup. Refer to the IP Office Installation Manual for full details of fitting voice compression channels and when channels are used.
TFTP Server
Whenever the IP DECT base stations restart, they need to upload IP DECT application software from a TFTP server. The IP Office Manager application is not supported for this function. An IP Office control unit with an embedded voicemail memory card is only recommended for a small number (3 to 5) of base stations. For higher numbers a 3rd party TFTP server application is required.
IP DECT Phones
A maximum of 120 IP DECT phones are supported, with up to a maximum of 100 simultaneous calls (subject to available base stations and IP Office voice compression channels if required).
GAP Compatible
In addition to supported Avaya IP DECT phones, basic call functionality is supported for GAP compatible DECT phones.

 

Additional Components

In addition to the components above, the IP DECT system can utilize the following additional services:

LDAP or TFTP Server
A directory of telephone numbers can be retrieved from an LDAP or TFTP server and displayed on IP DECT handsets. With IP Office, the IP Office control unit can act as the TFTP server source for its own user numbers and external directory numbers.
SysLog Server
The IP DECT base stations can output SysLog events to a SysLog server.
SNMP
The IP DECT base stations support SNMP for system status and alarm event logging.
SNTP Server
Used by the IP DECT system to obtain the time and date.

 

Regional Support

For areas outside North America where IP DECT is available, it is supported on IP Office 3.1 and higher. For North America, IP DECT is supported on IP Office 4.0 May 2007 maintenance release and higher. Note however that IP DECT Base stations and phones for different regions are not compatible.  Additionally the optional directional beam aerials for the RFP34 base station are not supported in North America.
