The following image is from a Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station which is being connected to a
switch (the traces is done by port mirroring the switch port):
The above image shows a situation with no incoming calls to handsets, but only the keep-alive sig-
nalling between server and base station.
When an incoming call is received in the Spectralink IP-DECT Server, the server will send a mul-
ticast packet. The multicast packet will contain the PP-ID of the handset. Each Spectralink IP-DECT
Base Station will recive this multicast packet, and then send the page through the radio. If the hand-
set is available on a given base, the handset will acknowledge the page. The Spectralink IP-DECT
Base Station will then send a unicast message back to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server. Hereafter,
the call setup will be transmitted between server and base station as unicast traffic.
Connecting Base Station to System
Base stations can be connected to the system the following ways:
l Manually from the web based Administration Page of the base station.
For more information, see "Manually IP-DECT Server Address Configuration for Base Sta-
tions" on page123.
l Automatically when using DHCP and UpNP (recommended).
For more information, see "Discovering the Spectralink IP-DECT Components via UPnP" on
page87.
