access technology. When switching over to a DECT base station using different
access technology, a DECT terminal automatically re-establishes a connection
(roaming).
Be sure to keep the PARK ID of your OpenCom 510 in mind. The PARK ID is dis-
played under System Info: Versions in the Configurator. If the PARK ID starts with
31, there may be an attempt at a handover between DECT base stations using dif-
ferent access technology. In this case, make sure that the signal areas of the DECT
base stations using different access technology do not overlap. If the PARK ID
starts with a different value (e. g. 30), prevention of unintentional handovers is
effective.
11.2.2 Synchronisation
Transmissions of all DECT base stations at a single location must be synchronised
in order that DECT terminals are able to receive multiple DECT base stations simul-
taneously. Synchronisation can be conducted via U
pn
access. It cannot be con-
ducted via an Ethernet/IP connection. DECTnetIP base stations are thus synchro-
nised via wireless connection.
When planning a larger sized DECT network, it is advisable to take the following
points into consideration:
■ All DECTnetIP base stations at a single location must be able to receive at least
one neighbouring base station. Synchronisation requires less signal strength
than a voice connection does.
■ Synchronisation range is increased using multiple base stations. To decrease
the probability of a connection breakdown, base stations should not be
arranged in chain formation. The signal should be distributed with a network
that is as extensive as possible and where each base station is supported by
multiple synchronisation partners.
■ To re-synchronise, first wait for all current connections to be terminated.
You can operate a DECT network consisting of several remote locations (a cluster).
These locations do not need to be synchronised because handovers between
remote locations are not possible.
