Add Additional Base Stations to Make a Multicell Network (Workflow)

Add Additional Base Stations to Make a Multicell Network
(Workflow)
If you have a 210 Multi-Cell Base Station, you can add additional base stations to the network if some handsets
have connection problems. For example, the handset may be too far from the base station, or the base station
may be too busy. When you have two or more than two base stations, you have a multicell system.
The 110 Single-Cell Base Station supports a dualcell configuration and not a multicell configuration. For
more information on dualcell system with 110 Single-Cell Base Station, see
to Make a Dualcell Network (Workflow), on page
Here are the constraints for a multicell system:
• Maximum number of 210 Multi-Cell Base Stations in a multicell system: 250
• Maximum number of handsets with two base stations in the system: 60
• Base stations can be placed in different geographic locations and be part of the same system. For example,
After you set up the multicell system, the base stations synchronize their data on a regular basis. All registered
handsets can communicate with any base station in the multicell system. If the primary base station becomes
unresponsive, another base station in the multicell system automatically becomes the primary base station.
Use this workflow to set up a multicell system.
Procedure

Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Set Up a Multicell System on the Primary Base Station
To make the base stations work together, you assign the same System chain ID to each base station in the
multicell network. Use this procedure to set up the existing base station for multicell. You will do this procedure
only once.

you can have a multicell system in offices in different buildings or different cities. This setup requires a
special configuration. For more information, see

Purpose
Set up the first base station.
Set up the first base station as the primary base
station for a multicell system.
Set up a secondary base station. You repeat this
step for each additional base station.
Perform a backup to save the configuration.
