. Product overview Navigation This chapter contains information about the following topics. • “Overview of SIP DECT” (page 9) Overview of SIP DECT You can use Nortel Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) to move without restriction about your work site while conducting telephone conversations, using wireless handsets. The Nortel SIP DECT system includes one or more DECT access points (DAPs or basestations) connected to the TLAN.
Product overview • • • • Call Server, Release 5.5 Signaling Server, Release 5.5 DAP software 4910b414.dwl or later DAP controller 4.1 or later (PC software) You can connect IP phones to the TLAN, connect TDM phones to the Call Server, Voice Gateway Media Cards and other required cards in Call Server. Use Voice Gateway Media Cards for IP-to-TDM calls and for conference calls involving IP phones or DECT handsets on basestations.
Overview of SIP DECT 11 Figure 1 SIP DECT configuration You can install the DHCP or TFTP services, DECT Messenger, and DAP controller on a single server or PC. However, you can also choose to install them on separate servers to enhance performance or facilitate administration. You can also install Element manager, NRS manager, and OTM on the same server, provided that the server has both a TLAN network interface and an ELAN network interface.
Product overview Use the SIP Redirect Server or SIP Proxy Server to perform the appropriate NRS configuration for SIP DECT. You can run SIP Redirect Server on Internet Server Platform (ISP) 1100, Call Processor Pentium Mobile (CP PM) signaling server, or on IBM or HP Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers under VxWorks. You can run SIP Proxy Server on IBM or HP COTS servers under Linux.
Overview of SIP DECT 13 — Disable IGMP Snooping. — Disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on switch ports where SIP DECT equipment connects — If the switches serve more than one Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), configure all SIP DECT devices in one VLAN, so they behave as one subnet • Routed Head Quarter configuration A Routed Head Quarter configuration provides seamless hand over between DAPs.
Product overview — The network must support Quality of Service (QoS) and IP connectivity throughout the Campus. — Routers must support IP multicast routing. — The IP multicast address for SIP DECT must be the same in all subnets. — multicast Time to live (TTL) must be greater than 1. — In the SIP DECT configuration, you must enter the subnet mask for all networks, for example, 255.255.248.0. Universal extension support DECT handsets subscribed on DAPs are external to Communication Server 1000.
Overview of SIP DECT 15 — For access based on the configured Coordinated Dialing Plan (CDP), compose the Target DN as follows. +. — For access based on the configured Uniform Dialing Plan (UDP), compose the Target DN as follows. ++. A UEXT corresponding to a DECT handset on the SIP DECT system reflects the idle or busy status of the associated handset by a check for a call processed between the handset and a DAP.
Product overview DECT handset features The user of a DECT handset subscribed on SIP DECT can do the following. • • Make calls to valid DNs except restricted or blocked DNs. • Put the active call on hold by pressing the R key on the handset. Return to the held call by pressing the R key. if a call is put on hold, another call can be made from the handset. After the second call is established, the user can switch between the two calls with the R key.
Overview of SIP DECT 17 Primary DN. The additional DN configured in CallPilot is the external DN of DECT handset, that is, the Target DN on the UEXT corresponding to the DECT handset. Communication Server 1000 only supports the so-called Unsolicited MWI NOTIFY model An external SIP UA cannot SUBSCRIBE to MWI NOTIFY messages and cannot request the current status of MWI for the DN from the system (by sending SUBSCRIBE messages).
Product overview • The number of available UEXTs is limited by the number of available virtual Telephone Numbers (TN) in the system • The number of DNs available for DECT handsets depends on the configured dialing plan and the availability of the Directory Number Expansion (DNXP) package (150).

. Site planning Navigation This section contains information about the following topics.
Site planning ATTENTION You can use a location builder tool to plan your site. For details, see “Location builder tool” (page 239). Other modules describe in detail the procedures related to deployment. These procedures vary according to site details and user requirements. Position and use of available cabling Cables that connect the basestation to the DECT system must meet or exceed the UTP Cat 5 standard. New cabling is required if the existing cabling does not meet the standard.
Site survey example 21 Number of handset users The following information must be available. • • • The number of handset users The potential growth of handset users The areas of above average and below average traffic density Number of cells required to support traffic Traffic requirements are determined for each cell. The deployer calculates system requirements to support user traffic.
Site planning • • High handset density area Multiple systems installation Site planning example: Able-Studio This section describes a site survey for Able-Studio, a fictitious company. Follow this example to conduct the site survey. The facts for Able-Studio • The contact is Rolf Sundby at 555-0000. A guest lab coat is necessary to be on the site. Get this lab coat from Rolf. • • The sales representative has recommended DECT. • Not all users have offices and desk phones.
Site planning example: Able-Studio 23 Identify site contacts Gather the following information and enter it into the work order and the provisioning records. The installer requires the following information. Procedure 1 Identifying site contacts Step Action 1 Record company name. 2 Record the company address. 3 Record the contact name. 4 Record the contact telephone number. 5 Obtain and record scheduling times and date. 6 Obtain access to controlled areas.
Site planning Figure 4 Example of a site coverage floor plan Procedure 2 Obtaining site plans Step Action 1 Obtain two site plans or maps, with dimensions marked. Use one working copy to identify critical points, cell centers, and cell boundaries. Use one clean copy to attach to the site provisioning record for the installer, customer, or maintenance. --End-- Gather building information Gather the following information and enter it into the work order.
Site planning example: Able-Studio 25 If the building contains atriums, multiple floors, or floors not all the same shape or unusual conditions, see “Multiple floor deployment” (page 78). 5 Record the height of floors. 6 Record as much information as you can obtain about the partitioning of floors. 7 Discuss and record the details of furniture, cupboards, and machinery in the interior of buildings on every floor. 8 Ask about other building details as necessary and record this information.
Site planning 3 Record external or outdoor radio coverage. 4 Record where radio coverage is not feasible or requires specific basestations. 5 Record areas excluded from radio coverage due to the proximity of sensitive electronic equipment. 6 Record objects inside buildings that can affect radio coverage. 7 Record unsuitable basestation locations, such as stone columns, air ducts or horizontally on the ceiling. 8 Discuss what basestations are to be installed out of sight.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 6 27 Ask about and record the mobility of the users. For example, do the users move from cell to cell, or is the area of movement restricted, such that the users remain within one cell? --End-- DAP deployment rules and requirements Use the information in this section to plan the deployment of a SIP DECT system, including the locations of basestations and cells. The deployment process consists of the following.
Site planning Figure 5 DAP radio signal synchronization Due to the cellular structure of a DECT radio network, there must always be overlap in the cells with sufficient voice quality. The wider cell limit around the DAP therefore has some overlap with the other cell and reaches to the radio of the other cell. Therefore, the DAPs of the overlapping cells exchange radio signals with each other.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 29 ATTENTION If there are two or more independent Nortel SIP DECT systems with overlapping areas of coverage, it is always preferable that you configure these systems so that each system has a unique subset of carriers. When each system has a unique subset of carriers, any unnecessary interference between the systems is avoided. Note that reducing the number of available carriers reduces the maximum number of simultaneous calls in the DECT system.
Site planning Figure 6 DAP synchronization hierarchy If more than one synchronization source is present, each one forms a separate hierarchy of DAPs called a synchronization island. Automatic synchronization is performed within each synchronization island using the following rules. • After a DAP starts, it searches for existing DAPs. If it finds one with a lower RPN, it synchronizes with it. If no other DAP exists with a lower RPN, the new DAP becomes the synchronization source.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 31 the DECT manager WEB interface. Automatically assigned RPNs start at 010. If you manually assign a new RPN, ensure that it is in the range 000 . . . 00F. ATTENTION It is very important that you determine the position of the Synchronization Master before you start site planning. Place the synchronization master, which is the DAP with the lowest RPN, in the middle of your site, building, or buildings.
Site planning • IP addresses and routing must be consistent with each other to deliver the required transparency. IP addresses must be consistent with routing for normal unicast traffic as well as for the required multicast traffic. • The maximum cable length between the DAP and IP network equipment, such as a switch, is 100 meters if a Category 5, unshielded twisted pair half-duplex cable is used.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 33 Dynamic IP network addresses Network stations, which do not act as servers (PC workstations as well as DAPs), can use dynamic IP addresses assigned by DHCP. For dynamic IP addresses, there is no need to specify the MAC addresses of all the network stations in the DHCP server. The DHCP server must be configured to assign IP addresses from a certain range to unknown MAC addresses.
Site planning All network components must support forwarding of IP multicast packages. The DAP Configurator proposes a default multicast IP address (239.192.49.49). This is a multicast address in the private multicast IP address range that can be used in private IP networks. If you are not sure you can access this address, contact the local IT manager. ATTENTION You must disable IGMP Snooping and Spanning Tree Protocol on switch ports where SIP DECT equipment is connected.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 35 Figure 7 Critical points Rules and guidelines to locate cell centers Figure 8 "Cell centers" (page 36) shows the following. • • stairwell second floor plan To locate a call center, place the deployment tool at one critical point, for example P1, and then use the deployment handset to obtain a change in audio quality. The audio quality change determines the cell boundary contour. This process is repeated at an adjacent critical point, for example P2.
Site planning Figure 8 Cell centers Comply with the following as you select cell centers. • • Ensure that the installation complies with local electrical codes. • Install DAPs in a vertical position. Note that the radiation pattern differs between the horizontal and vertical positions. • • • Do not mount a DAP to a metal surface. • Position basestations at least 1 m from large concrete or stone columns and from major building structural members such as support beams or columns.
DAP deployment rules and requirements • Do not install basestations in spaces that transport air, such as ducts or plenums. • Do not mount basestations on the ceiling. 37 Coverage and signal strength calculation Synchronization between DAPs requires sufficient radio signal strength between DAPs. The following items are relevant for the signal strength for synchronization. • To achieve a good voice quality, the minimum signal strength at the receiver in the handset and DAP must be -72 dBm.
Site planning than is normal for speech. An occasionally elevated error rate does not indicate a problem with your SIP DECT system. However, if you consistently see a high error rate, then there is a problem with the deployment of your SIP DECT system. Determine cell boundaries A specific RSSI value on the handset defines the cell boundary range. Links can be made outside the cell boundary but the audio quality of the link is poor. The link drops if the handset and the basestation are too far apart.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 39 Figure 11 "Cell boundaries" (page 39) shows the following. A cell boundary for the cell center is determined by placing the deployment tool at the cell center, for example 2C1, and using the deployment handset to establish the cell boundary. The cell boundary contour is marked on the floor plan, and shown in Figure 11 "Cell boundaries" (page 39) by a dash-dot line.
Site planning Figure 12 Additional critical points and cell boundaries Mark the points, centers, and boundaries on the floor plan This section describes how to label critical points, cell centers, and cell boundaries on the floor plan. Mark the information clearly on the floor plans during the survey. The customer, the sales group, the installer, and maintenance personnel must read these floor plans. Use a different color for each cell.
DAP deployment rules and requirements 41 Table 2 Floor plan markings (cont’d.) Marking Description xCn Label each cell center using this format. Where x is the floor, and n is the next sequential cell center. Wide, colore d lines. Mark cell boundaries on the floor plan using wide, colored lines. For example, label a cell center on the second floor as 2C3. The 2 before the C indicates that the cell center is on the second floor.
Site planning Figure 14 Points, centers, and boundaries on the floor plan Figure 14 "Points, centers, and boundaries on the floor plan" (page 42) shows a typical floor plan marked-up after determining subsequent cell boundaries. The completed floor plan is as follows. • • • • • • Initial critical points are shown at P1, P2, P3, and P4. Cell centers are located where arcs from P1/P2, P3/P4 intersect. 2C1 and 2C2 show cell centers or basestation locations. Dashed and dotted lines show cell boundaries.

DAP deployment 67 Figure 42 Deployment Kit 2 basestation DAP deployment To deploy a DECT system follow Procedure 12 “Deploying a DECT system” (page 67). Procedure 12 Deploying a DECT system Step Action 1 Identify and mark initial critical points. Mark critical initial points on the floor plan with the following symbol. Figure 15 "Example of initial critical points" (page 43) shows the initial critical points: P1, P2, P3, P5, P6 and P7.
Site planning a Set up the deployment tool basestation. Raise the deployment tool basestation as high as possible, or until it is at the height recommended for basestations. b Establish a link. See “Deployment tool” (page 52) for details. c Measure the range into the coverage area in a few directions to determine where a cell center can be located and still be within range of the critical point. Listen to the deployment tool handset while moving away from the basestation.
DAP deployment 69 c See the floor plan and check audio quality in user offices within the cell. If a user office is in a zone where audio quality deteriorates, relocate the cell center closer to the critical point or the office. d Walk into all of the areas (rooms) necessary to demarcate the complete cell boundary. Radio signals travel further in uncluttered areas than in cluttered areas. Record the cell boundary.
Site planning See step 6 for details. 9 Using the critical points from step 7, demarcate new cell contours, a new cell center and a new cell boundary. See step 2 to step 5 starting on step 2 for details. Note: Cell contour arcs must pass near the cell boundary of adjacent cells. For an example of this, see Figure 21 "Example of deployment for cell center 1C2" (page 46). 10 Demarcate additional cell contours, centers and boundaries at the other end of the building.
Correct audio quality problems 71 and P16" (page 48). Critical points P11, P13 and P16 form the following.
Site planning This includes washrooms, coffee areas, and meeting rooms. Do not speculate where users can make calls. --End-- Single and multiple floor deployment Whether the deployment situation involves a single floor or multiple floors, the deployment process uses basic rules. • • Deploy the external or outdoor areas first. • Finish by deploying the middle of the coverage area. Deploy from one side of the coverage area and then deploy the opposite side of the coverage area.
Single and multiple floor deployment 73 By deploying the site using this method, cell centers are distributed throughout the site. If the site is deployed from one end to the other, cell centers can be clustered at one end of the site. Single-cell deployment Always start with the single-cell technique regardless of the width between the two critical points. Using this technique, you can find one cell center that serves two critical points, as shown in Figure 43 "Single cell distance" (page 73).
Site planning After the display value changes from 7 to 6, the cell boundary is detected. 5 Record the cell boundary by marking a small X on the floor plan where the cell boundary value was reached. Use a pencil that is the same color as the critical point where the deployment tool is located. 6 Repeat step 4 and 5 several times, walking in different directions to determine where the cell center can be located and still remain within range of the critical point.
Single and multiple floor deployment 75 Double cell deployment Use the double cell technique only if referred here from the single cell technique. Before beginning this technique, there must be two critical points that one cell center cannot serve. Using the double cell technique, find two locations for cell centers that cover three critical points, as shown in Figure 44 "Double cell distance" (page 75).
Site planning center and the cell boundary, see “Multi cell deployment” (page 76). 10 Choose a position on the floor plan for the cell center that meets the following requirements. a is furthest from the critical points and still provides good audio quality at the critical point, b complies with the “Rules and guidelines to locate cell centers” (page 35), and c is in the coverage area. 11 Mark each cell c on the floor plan and label them 1C1 and 1C2.
Single and multiple floor deployment 77 Figure 45 Multi-cell distance Procedure 16 Multi-cell deployment Step Action 1 Choose a position on the floor plan for the cell center that meets the following requirements. a is furthest from the critical points and still provides good audio quality at the critical point, b complies with the “Rules and guidelines to locate cell centers” (page 35), and c is in the coverage area. 2 Place the deployment tool at critical point P1. 3 Establish a link.
Site planning 10 Mark each cell center on the floor plan and label them 1C1 and 1C2. 11 Place the deployment tool at each cell center. 12 Locate the cell boundary and mark it on the floor plan. (Mark the contours in different colors for easy differentiation of cell centers.) 13 Define and mark on the plan subsequent critical points, where each cell boundary crosses the edge of the coverage area.
Single and multiple floor deployment 79 Checking for through-the-floor coverage The first step in covering a multi-floor building is assessing the availability of through-the-floor coverage. In buildings mainly constructed of wood, through-the-floor coverage can be used. However, due to the construction of most modern buildings with raised floors, high metal content, and reinforced concrete, through-the-floor coverage with DECT is limited.
Site planning For example, if floor 2 of an office tower is laid out with cubicle style offices with a perimeter of enclosed offices, and floor 3 is designed and laid out in the exact same manner, both floors can have the exact same installation profile for basestations. All floors do not have the same layout If there are deviations in the floor plan from floor to floor, use the critical point method to deploy each distinct floor. For more information, see “Prepare the tool for deployment” (page 54).
Single and multiple floor deployment 81 • • • Plan atriums to their full height. • Do not put cell centers in an atrium if you intend for them to serve adjacent areas. • • To serve adjacent areas, put the cell centers into these areas. • If cell centers in adjacent dense areas serve one floor of an atrium, verify the coverage of the cell on all of the floors that meet with the atrium. Plan an atrium as one full size room, not floor by floor.
Site planning Overlap can be difficult to achieve where coverage is received from the floor above or the floor below. Internal structures can cause overlap deficiencies. Cell centers do not need to be located on the same floor or an adjacent floor of the area that it is covering. Place cell centers within the cell boundary, as indicated by the deployment tool.
Reengineer cells for high traffic areas 83 Figure 48 Locating redundant cells Reengineer cells for high traffic areas To accommodate the demand in high traffic areas, follow the “The cell reengineering process” (page 83). Traffic volume The deployment process ensures coverage throughout the service area. It does not, however, take into account the effect of traffic.

Reengineer cells for high traffic areas 91 The information in this table is used to determine the number of cells that require reengineering. --End-- Determining cell reengineering Table 16 Example of a completed estimate table Estimate for: 1C1 1C2 1C3 1C4 1C5 1C6 1C7 Users inside the cell with an office 8.4 0.7 21.0 14.7 0.7 4.9 2.1 Users with an office outside of a cell who walk into the cell 3.2 3.7 2.3 2.7 3.7 3.4 3.6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11.6 4.4 23.3 17.7 4.4 8.3 5.
Site planning Procedure 26 Determining cell reengineering Step Action 1 Locate the estimate for users in the first cell. In the example shown in Table 16 "Example of a completed estimate table" (page 91), the handset estimate is 11.6. 2 Determine the telephone types in the first cell. In the example shown in Table 16 "Example of a completed estimate table" (page 91), the telephone type is H&W. 3 Locate the telephone type column in Table 16 "Example of a completed estimate table" (page 91).
Cell division requirements in special cases 93 The formula assumes that users are located evenly throughout the cells. However, most users offices are clustered in specific areas of a building. The formula has limitations, as cells can vary in size. The method described starting on “The cell reengineering process” (page 83) gives more accurate cell division results. A mix of users with and without wired telephones in a cell Use this procedure for mixed handset users.
Site planning Table 19 Adjustment for users without wired telephones (cont’d.
High handset density deployment 95 5 Use Table 19 "Adjustment for users without wired telephones" (page 93) to determine the criteria shown in the left column to determine if the cell has to be re-sized in the same manner described in the section Determine cell reengineering. --End-- High handset density deployment The high handset density deployment includes limiting the expected number of handsets for each cell center.
Site planning • If the handset users in cell 1C1 are all handset only users, one cell can support 39 handset only users. Therefore, four cells are needed to support 140 users (140÷39 = 3.5 cells). • If the handset users in cell 1C1 are handset and wired telephone users, and one cell can support 83 users, two cells are needed to support 140 handset and wired telephone users (140÷83 = 1.
Deployment review 8 97 Repeat the anticipated handsets for each cell calculation to ensure that each smaller cell provides appropriate traffic coverage to the users in the area. --End-- Deployment review Review the plan to ensure that the sales group can use it. The plan must be complete for the installer, legible for maintenance purposes, and acceptable to the customer.

Appendix Location builder tool The Location Builder tool is used to create a site map within buildings and inside the building floors and, if necessary, lines to indicate contours or anything else that you want to draw. In this map you put the DAPs according to their position in the real site. A map gives you an overview of the DAP structure in a building. You can store this information in a file.
Location builder tool Note: The main screen does not initially show data. The figure above contains data to better explain the fields in the main screen. 2 The main window contains the Map panel, DAP list view mode pane, Edit box, Floor controls, Draw controls, View controls, and Options panel. • Use the Map pane to view a map of the area. There are two view modes: — Location view shows one whole floor with multiple buildings visible. — Building view shows a floor inside a building.
Use the Location builder tool 241 — RPN numbers — MAC addresses — Info field The DAP list shows a list of DAPs that are not yet on the map. You can drag these DAPs onto map. Populate the DAP list by adding new DAPs to the RPNadm.txt file, using menu item File > Import. • In the Edit box area, you can edit properties of the selected location, building, or DAP. After editing the values in the Edit box, click Set to save your changes.
Location builder tool 2 Click the Set Location button to initialize the Location. 3 In the Size fields, enter values large enough to encompass all the buildings in your location. Note: The size values used in the location builder do not correspond to real-world units, such as meters or feet. However, Nortel recommends that you consistently enter values that equal the measurements in meters, which will make your location map easier to understand. 4 Click Building to add a building to the Location.
Use the Location builder tool 243 After entering values for the building size and location, you can make changes by selecting the building and editing the values that appear in the Edit pane.
