N870 IP PRO Multicell System – Introduction

• N870 IP PRO DECT manager

Management unit for a group of base stations. At least one DECT manager must be used for

each installation.

The DECT manager

• Manages bases station synchronisation within the clusters

• Provides application gateway between SIP signalling and DECT signalling

• Controls the media path from PBX to relevant base stations

Configuring DECT managers page 28

• N870 IP PRO DECT base stations

• Provide cell site DECT functions

• Provide media processing from handset directly towards PBX

• Provide connection channels for the handsets, the number depends on various factors

such as the approved bandwidth and the device role

Configuring the base stations page 37

• Handsets (mobile devices)

• Per DECT manager up to 250 handsets can be connected. To allow inter-DECT-manager

roaming, the regular load of handsets planned to be attached to one DECT manager

should be lower (approx. 80 %).

60 DECT calls could be made simultaneously for VoIP calls, network directory sessions

and info center sessions. For information on handset functions in relation to Gigaset base

stations, visit wiki.gigasetpro.com

• Subscribers can accept or initiate calls in all DECT cells with their handset (Roaming), and

can also switch between the DECT cells during a call (Handover). A handover is only

possible if cells are synchronised.
