Using the Spectralink IP-DECT Server
200/400 and Spectralink IP-DECT Base
Station With ExternalAntenna
Note:
Only the Spectralink external antenna (part no. 0231 9705) is approved along with the
Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 and Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station . The
external antenna is delivered with a 1 m connection cable. The connection cable is also
available in 3 m (part no. 1400 2704 and 7.5 m (part no. 1400 2706).
The devices are automatically configured to the external antenna when connected.
First example (see illustration below) is an example of using a Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station
with external antenna.
The 2 base stations are too far apart to maintain full speech coverage between them. An external
antenna can be used on either side to create an overlap which allows for full speech coverage any-
where between the two base stations. Note that the range of RFP A is reduced when connected
with an external antenna. RFP A and the external antenna also operates on the same channel as
opposed to a repeater which always operates on a channel that is different from its host.
