11 Register handsets and perform handset configuration page 57 All the handsets to be used for making calls over the N870 IP PRO must be registered at the telephone system. Any handset must get assigned an indi- vidual SIP account at the SIP PBX. When registering, the handset is perma- nently assigned a VoIP connection as the receive and send connection.
• When installing the base stations, please take into account the technical conditions for posi- tioning and the installation guidelines, which are described in the "N870 IP PRO - Site Plan- ning and Measurement Guide". • Install the base stations at the positions you determined when planning or measuring your DECT wireless network.

First steps Connecting to the LAN DECT manager and base stations must be connected to the same Ethernet or virtual LAN sharing a common broadcast domain. If you intend to use DECT-LAN synchronisation, please consider the requirements ¢ mentioned in section "LAN-based synchronisation" ( page 43).
System-related/device-specific passwords Connecting the power supply Your N870 IP PRO is supplied with sufficient power via PoE (Power over Ethernet) if the device is connected to an Ethernet switch with PoE functionality (PoE class IEEE802.3af). In this case, you do not need to connect the device to the mains power supply.
First steps Defining the device role On delivery all N870 IP PRO devices are configured as base station. To set up the DECT multicell system at least one device must be configured as DECT manager. Detailed information on device ¢...

Configuring the system ¤ Launch the web browser on your PC/tablet. ¤ Enter the current IP address for the Integrator/DECT manager in the address field of the web browser (for example: http://192.168.2.10). IP address of the device If the IP address is assigned dynamically via your local network's DHCP server, you can find the current IP address on the DHCP server in the list of registered DHCP clients.

Page 26
Network administration Subnet mask The Subnet mask specifies how many parts of an IP address the network prefix must comprise. For example, 255.255.255.0 means that the first three parts of an IP address must be the same for all devices in the network, while the last part is specific to each device. In subnet mask 255.255.0.0, only the first two parts are reserved for the network prefix.
Page 27
Network administration VLAN Details in this area are only required if you connect your phone system to a local network that is divided into virtual subnetworks (VLAN – Virtual Local Area Network). In a tagged VLAN, data packets are assigned to the individual subnetworks via tags (markings) that consist of a VLAN identifier and the VLAN priority, amongst others.

Page 46
Base stations Scenario 2: Pure DECT synchronisation Use such a configuration if your environment ensures a stable DECT over the air synchronisation or your LAN does not fulfil the requirements for LAN synchronisation. Prior to installation of base stations for DECT synchronisation, you should have an idea, where in the centre to plan the level 1 base station and in which distances around the centre to place the next sync level's base station.
Page 47
Base stations Scenario 3: Mixed Use such a configuration, if your environment is mainly able to synchronise via DECT but there are particular circumstances which cannot always guarantee reliable DECT synchronisation, e.g., a passage through a fire door. For all base stations on levels lower than the LAN master you can individually decide whether it should be synchronised via DECT or LAN.

Base stations Actions Setting up the base station synchronisation ¤ Select the cluster to which the base should be assigned to from the Cluster option menu. Base stations only synchronise within the same cluster, meaning that a handover of a handset from one cluster to a neighbouring cluster is not possible.
Provider and PBX profiles Provider and PBX profiles Only available in the Integrator user interface. You can use up to ten different VoIP PBX or VoIP provider profiles, e.g. • your company's VoIP PBX • and/or public providers from which you have requested VoIP services. This page allows you to create a list of systems providing VoIP connections and other services for your phones.
Page 51
Provider and PBX profiles Proxy server address The SIP proxy is your VoIP provider's gateway server and the first SIP server, where the device should send SIP requests and expects to receive requests. ¤ Enter the IP address or the (fully qualified) DNS name of your SIP proxy server (max. 74 char- acters, 0 - 9, a - z, A - Z, -, ., _).

Page 54
Provider and PBX profiles Settings for codecs The voice quality of VoIP calls is mainly determined by the codec used for the transmission and the available bandwidth of your network connection. A "better" codec (better voice quality) means more data needs to be transferred, i.e. it requires a network connection with a larger bandwidth.
