2 Configure the RFP, see parameter description below.
3 Press the OK button.
The following parameters can be set in the New radio fixed part resp. the Configure radio
fixed part dialog:
General settings
• MAC address : Each RFP is identified by its unique MAC address (6 bytes hex format,
colon separated). Enter the MAC address, it can be found on the back of the chassis.
• Location : For easier administration each RFP can be associated with a location string.
The location string can hold up to 20 characters.
• Site : If several sites exist (see chapter 5.5), select the site the RFP is assigned to.
DECT settings
The DECT functionality for each RFP can be switched on/off.
• Cluster : If DECT is active the RFP can be assigned to a cluster.
• Preferred synchronization source : Activate this checkbox if the RFP should be used as
synchronization source for the other RFPs in the cluster. For background information on
RFP synchronization please refer to chapter 7.2.
• Reflective environment : Within areas containing lot of reflective surfaces (e.g. metal or
metal coated glass) in an open space environment the voice quality of a DECT call can be
disturbed because of signal reflections which arrive on the handset or RFP using
multipath propagation. Calls may have permanent drop outs while moving and high error
rates on the RFPs and handsets.
For such environment Aastra has developed the DECT XQ enhancement into base
stations (RFP 32 IP, 34 IP, 42 WLAN) and the Aastra 600d handsets family. Using this
enhancement by switching the
Reflective environment flag on might reduce drop outs
and cracking noise.
As soon as
Reflective environment is switched on, the number of calls on an
RFP 32 IP / 34 IP / 42 WLAN is reduced to 4 calls at the same time.
