Page 14: Automatic Air Synchronization
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO 5.3 Automatic air synchronization The DECT base stations transmissions need to be time aligned in order that a DECT handset can perform roaming and handover between the bases. To achieve time alignment of xBS, the synchronization by air is used. -
Page 15: Sync Master
OXO 5.4 SYNC MASTER Definition: A SYNC MASTER is the 8378 DECT IP-xBS root of the internal synchronization tree. Characteristics: The SYNC MASTER is the one being the root of the synchronization tree. It is selected automatically by the air synchronization algorithm. -
Page 16: Site
OXO 5.5 SITE Definition: A SITE is a group of 8378 DECT IP-xBS located in the same geographical location where it is possible to do handover. Purpose: It allows to distinguish for example a Head Quarter from Branch Offices using a different SITE Number Id. -
Page 17: Data Sync Primary
8378 DECT IP-xBS of a SITE (including the time synchronization tree). Its role is to centralize all data and to copy them to all 8378 DECT IP-xBS attached to it. Purpose: Handover is only possible between data synchronized xBS thanks to the DATA SYNC PRIMARY. -
Page 18: Sync Cluster
OXO 5.7 SYNC CLUSTER Definition: A SYNC CLUSTER is a set of 8378 DECT IP-xBS which are synchronized (time aligned) together at the DECT radio interface. Purpose: A chain of SYNC CLUSTERs allows to constrain the way the xBS are synchronized together. -
Page 19: Relay Xbs
5.9 RELAY xBS Definition: The RELAY xBS is the 8378 DECT IP-xBS where the IP audio communication (using the RTP protocol) is established with the distant phone and where the signalization is established. It relays the audio communication and the signalization to the xBS where the handset is moving. -

Page 23: Non-Supported Configurations
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO 7.4 Non-supported configurations Two Sync Clusters with two separate synchronization trees and not separated by more than 1km: Because of possible radio overlap, the handsets will stays locked to the initial Sync Cluster, even with very low RSSI level. If a user moves towards the other Sync Cluster, his handset will not lock to xBS from the other Sync Cluster as they don’t detect them (xBS from the other Sync Cluster are not synchronized with... -
Page 24: How To Configure The Solution
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO 8 How to configure the solution 8.1 Limited constraints on IP network Excepted typical constraints linked to VoIP deployments there are: No need of any external server, the ALE call servers are managing the whole solution. - Page 25 Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO There is also the possibility to enter via the xBS WBM a DHCP user class. Using this option 77 allows network administrators to define groups of xBS, and to attach groups to different and independent Call Servers (i.e.

Page 26: Tftp
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO OXO DHCP server configuration could be modified here: OMC → Hardware and Limits → LAN / IP Configuration → DHCP ⇒ 8.3 TFTP The embedded TFTP servers must be used to take benefit of the auto-discovery feature. -
Page 27: Lanpbx.cfg Configuration File
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO 8.5 LANPBX.CFG configuration file The xBS downloads the lanpbx.cfg file from the embedded CS TFTP server. This file contains the IP addresses of the CS. It is exactly the same lanpbx.cfg file as for ALE IP-Phones. -
Page 28: Security
Getting started with the 8378 DECT IP-xBS solution on OXO 8.8 Security There is no DECT ciphering on OXO The configuration of IP security: There is no security on IP side on the first release.

Page 34: Frequently Asked Questions
Each base station must see another one with a least a level of -80dBm. It is better to put the 8378 DECT IP-xBS in line of sight to have a stable radio environment. The coverage rules are the same as for 8340 IP-DECT DAP. - Page 35 Can I install and switch on all the xBS at the same time? You can install all the 8378 DECT IP-xBS at the same time and switch them on at the same time on simple deployment (mono-PARI). See also section 5.9...

Page 36: Air Synchronization
Why the sync master change from one base to another one? With automatic air synchronization, it is the 8378 DECT IP-xBS sub-system which selects the best 8378 DECT IP-xBS acting as the Sync Master. So, it is normal that the Sync Master can change. -
Page 37: Security
There is yet no DECT ciphering with OXO CONNECT CS. How to configure IP security? There is no security on IP side on the first 8378 DECT IP-xBS SW release. Only the 8378 DECT IP-xBS FW is signed and the WBM access has credential (login/password).
