SIP-DECT System Planning

This section describes the planning required before implementing a SIP-DECT solution in an MX-ONE system.

The following needs to be considered when designing an SIP-DECT network:

• To achieve optimal performance the infrastructure should be connected to a switched network (no hubs or repeaters).

• When setting up a network supporting different media types, it is recommended that voice and data are separated on different VLANs.

• Maximum load of the VoIP traffic must not exceed 25% of the capacity of the network.

• Maximum load of the network must not exceed 75% of the total capacity of the network, including the VoIP traffic.

• It is not recommended to use firewalls in the network. But if firewalls needs to be used, tunneling or application aware firewalls should be used.

• Depending on network size, a backbone of at least 100 Mbps should be used.

• The Master OMM registers to one MX-ONE Service Node and all users will be connected to that Server as SIP extensions.

Synchronization Configuration

Each SIP-DECT Base Station (RFPs) must be placed within the air synchronization coverage of at least one other base station. Since the air synchronization cover radius is somewhat larger than the speech radius it is often enough to consider the speech coverage when placing the base stations.

Always ensure that all RFPs are able to synchronize with, preferably two, but at least one other base station.
