The Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone (DECT) system allows 2-way voice communications with
residents via the Advent XT2 warden call system and between staff, both internally and externally if
required.
When the Advent XT2 is operating in Onsite Mode all alarm calls are reported via the DECT system. When
the phone rings the caller will be identified on the display (provided the phone book memory is
programmed), when answered a voice message will announce the call type and channel ID before a speech
link is opened.
The size and complexity of the building and/or the number of DECT handsets required will determine which
one of 3 possible Spectralink DECT systems is installed;
1. IP-DECT 200 Single-Cell system for small installations
2. IP-DECT 400 Multi-Cell system for most average-sized installations
3. IP-DECT 6500 system for large or complex installations
All DECT systems use the same handsets, it’s the Server type and number of Base Stations/Repeaters that
are needed to achieve site coverage and how they are configured which differs. The type of DECT system
and positioning of Base Stations/Repeaters will be determined by a site survey prior to commencing the
installation.
All Base Stations are star-wired from a central PoE Data Switch on Cat5e cable (max length 100 metres).
Repeaters operate wirelessly but require connection to a battery backed 12V DC power supply. In the event
of a mains power failure a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) will maintain operation of the DECT Servers.
The IP-PBX allows the DECT handsets to access an outside line to make/receive telephone calls and
integrate with the Advent XT2 warden call system. The DECT system can be setup so all the warden call
system events are always alerted to all handsets, or day/night groups can be set so different handsets can
be alerted depending on the time of day. The handsets can be configured into zones so alerts are only
notified to the staff responsible for specific areas.
