Part 2: DECT Hardware Installation & Programming
Configuring the CCFP
The CCFP comprises a power supply and a main board. One expansion board, a
Link card and up to eight Inter-Working Units (IWUs) can be mounted in the CCFP in
slots 0–7 (Figure 2.2). There are three extra slots 8–10.
•
One IWU A8 handles eight analogue telephone lines for eight handsets. Eight
IWUs are therefore required for 64 handsets.
•
The main board handles eight RFPs. The expansion board is required if more
than eight RFPs are needed. The number of RFPs depends on the traffic den-
sity and the coverage area.
•
One RFP can handle four simultaneous handsets calls.
•
The Link card is used to connect two 1500 systems together. It installs in slot
10 of the extra slots. A combined system increases the number of Base Sta-
tions to a possible 32 and Repeaters to a possible 96.
•
Extra slots 8 and 9 are not used.
