2 Overview

2.2 System Overview

This CS can be connected to a PBX via LAN. The CS supports existing DECT PSs. When activation keys are installed, the number of simultaneous calls increases from 4 to 8.

The CS provides the following:

–

Speedy installation

Through LAN synchronization, installation can be performed as quickly as with traditional CSs.

–

High quality communication even in environments where reception can be difficult

In reflective environments such as a warehouse with steel or metal walls, noise and cutouts can be a problem. Call control settings can be used to reduce noise and provide high quality communication.

(KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385 only).

–

Expansion using activation keys

By installing activation keys, the number of simultaneous call channels can be increased from 4 to 8. This is effective in the area where needing more simultaneous call channels. For information about the type of

activation key codes available, refer to "Optional Accessories".

Air Synchronization/LAN Synchronization

The unit supports the following two synchronization methods.

•

Air Synchronization

Each Slave CS is connected to the Master CS or another Slave CS "over the air". This method should be used when adding this unit to an existing network where CSs cannot connect via a LAN connection, or a network containing old IP-CSs. This kind of network is limited to the distance radio waves can travel between CSs.

For details about air synchronization, refer to "5.6 Air Synchronization". For more details about adding this

unit to an existing network, refer to "5.7 Synchronization with Traditional CSs or Old IP-CSs".

•

LAN Synchronization

Each Slave CS is connected to the Master CS via a LAN connection.

Since LAN synchronization has several benefits compared to air synchronization, it is recommended to use LAN synchronization when possible. If LAN synchronization is not possible, use air synchronization.

The benefits of LAN synchronization are listed below.

•

Creating a synchronization hierarchy is not required. Therefore if one CS fails, the other CSs are not affected.


2 Overview

•

The distance between CSs is dependent only upon a LAN connection. Therefore, the number of required

CSs may be less than with air synchronization.

Easy Registration to the PBX

•

Automatic Registration

You can register the unit to the PBX via Full Automatic Mode without using Web Maintenance Console.

•

Easy Remote Installation (Announce Mode)

When installing at a remote site, by inputting the PBX IP address at one of the units, the unit can send that information to other IP-CSs and KX-NT series terminals in the network. The unit can also receive the PBX's

IP address from other IP-CSs or KX-NT series terminals in the network.

3 Deployment Procedure


This section describes the deployment procedure for installing the unit for the first time.

For details about installing the unit in an area containing traditional CSs, refer to "5.7 Synchronization with

Traditional CSs or Old IP-CSs".

3.1 Procedure Overview

When connecting the wireless system, use extreme care in conducting the site survey. Site surveys can be conducted using CSs. An incorrectly performed site survey can result in poor service area, frequent noise, disconnection of calls, and synchronization failure for CSs.

Notice

•

When installing the DECT wireless system in an area where another wireless system (2.4 GHz) is already installed, it is necessary to reconduct the site survey to find the optimum position for the CS.

If you install the new CS in the same position as the old CS, it may result in a poor service area, frequent noise, and disconnection of calls.

•

In this case, it is necessary to perform system initialization. For details about the system initialization procedure, refer to the Installation Manual for your PBX.

Step 1: Site Planning (

®3.2 Site Planning)

Obtain a map of the CS installation site, and Identify the service area required by the user on the map. Plan the location of each CS, taking account of distance, building materials, etc.

Choosing the best site for the unit requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location may not always be convenient for installation.

Step 2: Site Survey (

®3.3 Site Survey)

Once all CSs have been located by Site Planning, enter site survey mode on the unit. In this mode you can confirm the installation location of the unit by using CS’s LED.

Step 3: Registering the unit to the PBX (

®3.4 Registering the unit to the

PBX)

Register the unit to the PBX.

Step 4: Registering the PS to the PBX

Register the PS to the PBX.

For details about the registration procedure, refer to the Installation Manual for your PBX.

Step 5: Wall Mounting (

®3.5 Wall Mounting)

3.2 Site Planning

Choosing the best site for the unit requires careful planning and testing of essential areas. The best location may not always be convenient for installation. Read the following information before installing the unit.

Understanding Radio Waves

Characteristics of Radio Waves

The transmission of radio waves and the CS coverage area depend on the structure and materials of the building.

Office equipment, such as computers and fax machines, can interfere with radio waves. Such equipment may create noise or interfere with the performance of the PS.

The illustration below shows the special transmitting patterns of radio waves.

1.

Radio waves are reflected by objects made of materials such as metal.

2.

Radio waves are diffracted by objects such as metallic columns.

3.

Radio waves penetrate objects made of materials such as glass.

Relationships Between Radio Waves and Building Structure and Materials

•

The CS coverage area is affected more by the building materials and their thickness than the number of obstacles.

•

Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive objects and rarely penetrate them.

•

Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely reflected by them.

•

Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.

•

The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves when they reach objects made from various materials.

5.3 Recommended Network Configuration

This section describes 2 recommended network configurations for maintaining LAN synchronization.

When connecting the unit to a network described in recommendations 1 and 2, it is not necessary to perform

LAN synchronization diagnosis. In network environments other than those described in recommendations 1 and 2, performing a LAN synchronization diagnosis is necessary. If the network fails this diagnosis, reconnect the CS to the switch which OK CS is connected to and perform a LAN synchronization diagnosis again. If the network fails this diagnosis, LAN synchronization cannot be used. In this case, using air synchronization is

recommended. For details about air synchronization, refer to "5.6 Air Synchronization".

Recommendation 1: Physically separate the LAN synchronization communication channels

•

Do not connect other terminals/computers to the switches that the CSs are connected to or the switches on LAN synchronization communication channels between CSs.

Example: SW2 and SW3 in the figure below.

•

Use Panasonic-recommended switches for the switches that the CSs are connected to and the switches on the LAN synchronization communication channel between CSs.

•

When connecting 32 or more CSs, use gigabit switches for the switches that the CSs are connected to and the switches on the LAN synchronization communication channel between CSs.

•

Configure the installation so that CS synchronization communication is not mixed with the communication of other terminals between switches. As long as communication is not mixed, it is possible to connect CSs, other terminals and switches that connect to other terminals, to the same switch.

: CS communication

: PBX

: SW

: PC

: IP-PT

: Not connected

: CS

: Other terminal/computer communication

: Maser CS1

: Maser CS2-1

: Maser CS2-2


5 Appendix

Note

•

The maximum number of hierarchy levels for a switch between Maser CS and Slave CS is 7 levels.

•

One LAN synchronization Master CS is required for each LAN Sync Group.

•

The first CS registered to the PBX becomes Master CS1 automatically. Master CS1 can be changed using the PBX's Web Maintenance Console.

•

If necessary, you can set Master CS2-1 and Master CS2-2 (backup for Master CS1) using the PBX's

Web Maintenance Console. Master CS2-1 is connected to the same hub as Master CS1 and acts as a backup if a problem occurs with Master CS1. Master CS2-2 is connected to a different hub from

Master CS1 and acts as a backup if a problem occurs with the hub containing Master CS1. Setting

Master CS2-1 and Master CS2-2 allows synchronization to continue when Master CS1 or Master CS1's hub stops working.


5 Appendix

Recommendation 2: Separate LAN synchronization communication channels using port VLAN (Virtual LAN)

•

Separate the communication channels of CSs and other terminals/computers by using port VLAN to group switches that the CS is connected to and switches on LAN synchronization communication channels between CSs.

•

Use Panasonic-certified switches for the switches that the CSs are connected to and the switches on the

LAN synchronization communication channel between CSs.

•

When connecting 32 or more CSs, use gigabit switches for the switches that the CSs are connected to and the switches on the LAN synchronization communication channel between CSs.

5.4 LAN Synchronization Diagnosis

This feature is used to check whether the planned location of each CS is suitable for actual communication.

Make sure that the CSs are temporarily installed at the locations calculated using the Site Planning Tool and confirm that all CSs are in LAN synchronization.

Note

PBX registration is not necessary at this point.

Short-term Diagnosis

1.

Turn off DIP switches no. 4 and turn on DIP switch no. 8 for each CS.

2.

Connect each CS in turn to a nearby hub. If the hub does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet), connect the CS to a power outlet using the AC adaptor.


5 Appendix

3.

Select a CS as the Master CS and press that CS's RESET switch.

The Master CS will flash red and green alternately, and other CSs (Slave CSs) will flash amber.

4.

After one hour, the color of the LEDs on Slave CSs indicates the diagnosis results.

Color Diagnosis Result

Green Completed successfully

Red

Amber

Completed unsuccessfully

Can be used under certain conditions

5.

If the LED of the CS is red or amber, connect the CS to a hub that has a CS with a green LED connected, or a hub that has no CSs connected, and turn on the CS.

6.

If necessary, repeat the above procedure.

If repeating the procedure does not fix the problem, reconfigure the network according to

"5.3 Recommended Network Configuration", or consider air synchronization instead of LAN

synchronization.

If the result is still undetermined, a long-term diagnosis will start in the background automatically. The result of this diagnosis can be obtained via IP Terminal Maintenance Console. Also, temporary results can be obtained every hour by checking the LEDs.

For details about IP Terminal Maintenance Console, refer to "5.12 IP Terminal Maintenance Console".

Note

•

The CS set as the Master CS in advance diagnosis mode should be the first CS registered to the PBX so that it becomes the Master CS in regular operation.

•

Long-term diagnosis can also be started by setting DIP switches. For details about setting the DIP

switches, refer to "Time Required for Long-Term Diagnosis" in "5.2 DIP Switch".

Long-term Diagnosis

1.

Turn on DIP switches no. 4 and no. 8 for each CS.

2.

Specifies the time required for long-term diagnosis by using DIP switches no.1-3, refer to "5.2 DIP

Switch".

3.

Connect each CS in turn to a nearby hub. If the hub does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet), connect the CS to a power outlet using the AC adaptor.

During the diagnosis, the LED flashes green. If the LED flashes red or amber, a temporary result of

"Completed unsuccessfully" or "Undetermined result" has been reached.

4.

After 24 hours, the color of the LEDs indicates the diagnosis results.

Color Diagnosis Result

Green Completed successfully

Red

Amber

Completed unsuccessfully

Can be used under certain conditions

5.

If the LED of the CS is red, reconfigure the network again referring to "5.3 Recommended Network

Configuration".

Note

The default time for long-term diagnosis is 24 hours. However, this can be changed to between 2 and 168 hours in IP Terminal Maintenance Console.

For details about IP Terminal Maintenance Console, refer to "5.12 IP Terminal Maintenance Console".


5 Appendix

5.5 Site Survey by Using PS

The section describes the Site Survey using one the following PSs.

•

For North America: KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385/KX-WT125/KX-WT126/KX-TD7685/

KX-TD7695/KX-TD7696

•

For South America: KX-WT115/KX-TCA285

•

For other countries/areas: KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385/KX-TCA155/KX-TCA175/KX-TCA256/

KX-TCA275/KX-TCA355/KX-TCA364

The PS has a Radio Signal Test mode that monitors the state of the radio link to the CS for site survey. In

Radio Signal Test mode, the frame loss and signal strength of a synchronous slot, and the signal strength of the other slots can be measured when the PS is monitoring the CS. After installing the CSs temporarily as planned during site planning, set the PS to Radio Signal Test mode and locate each CS to measure its coverage area. Then, record the results on the map of the installation site.

Notice

•

An incorrectly performed site survey may cause CSs to reset due to synchronization failure. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the site survey and plan the location of CSs with extreme care.

•

The reception of radio signals can vary depending on your handset. For example, when the radio signal strength is weak, some handsets may be out of range when other handsets are not. In this case, reconduct site planning, and add or relocate CSs as necessary.

•

For details about performing the site survey with CSs only (i.e., without using a PS), refer to "3.3 Site

Survey".

Radio signal strength level

Frame error (0000 to 9999)/Frame counter (0000 to 9999). Frame error indicates the number of errors out of 10 000 radio signal receptions. An increased number of frame errors indicates greater radio signal interference and more frequent noise during conversation. The ideal number of frame errors is "0000".

Error rate (%) = Frame error (0000 to 9999) / Frame counter (0000 to 9999)

´ 100

This operation is necessary only the first time you store scan data for a channel.

Note

•

Storing the scan data will clear all phonebook data.

•

The PS will not operate in normal mode if scan data is saved on it. For details on clearing scan data,

refer to "5.5.5 Clearing the Stored Scan Data".


5 Appendix

5.5.3 Measuring the Signal Strength

You can measure the error rate and the radio signal strength by moving towards and away from the CS.

Note

•

If the error rate is 2% or more, measure the error rate at the same location at least 5 times. The rate varies for different regions. For details, refer to the following list. You must disconnect the CS and then reconnect it to take each measurement.

If the error rate is consistently 2% or more, there may be interference from external wireless equipment.

In this case, the results below may happen regardless of the radio signal strength level. If the error rate is consistently 2% or more without interference from external wireless equipment, it is likely that metallic materials in the surrounding structures are causing interference. In this case, move the CS or increase the number of CSs in the area.

If the frame error value continues to increase abnormally (100 per second), the radio signal has been

lost. In this case, re-perform the procedure in "5.5.2 Preparing PSs to Test the Radio Signal

Strength" starting from

(other than a KX-TCA185/KX-TCA285/KX-TCA385).

The above is a rough standard, and may vary depending on the environment.

•

When deciding where to install the CS, priority should be given to an error rate rather than a radio signal strength level.

•

After installing the CS according to the results of the survey, confirm that calls can be made and received, and conversations can be heard clearly.

CS Classifications

CSs are assigned to any one of the following three classifications for implementing air synchronization:

CS Class Description

Master CS1 (synchronization source clock)

Master CS2 (backup for

Master CS1)

Slave CS

Generates clock signal.

Receives clock signal from Master CS1 (can also generate clock signal if Master CS1 malfunctions).

Receives clock signal from other CSs.

Synchronization Hierarchy

Air synchronization has a hierarchical structure with a Master CS1 at the top. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the site survey with extreme care to ensure stable synchronization since one disruption of the radio link could cause loss of service to a wide area.

Master CS1

(Master Clock Signal)

Master CS1

(Master Clock Signal)

Radio Link Loss

Master CS2 Master CS2

CSs stop working

Slave CSs Slave CS Slave CSs Slave CS

Search Order (Primary/Secondary)

The search order used for synchronizing CSs must be set. If the CS cannot synchronize with the Primary CS for some reason, it will try to synchronize with the Secondary CS.

CS Class Primary CS Secondary CS

Master CS1

Master CS2

Slave CS

None

Master CS1

Master CS1, Master CS2, or Slave

CS

None

None

Master CS1, Master CS2, Slave

CS, or None

For example, if synchronization is completely lost by malfunction of the Master CS etc., handover will not work and ongoing calls will be disconnected after a while. In addition, new calls cannot be made or received.

Therefore, it is recommended to not only assign the Primary CS but also the Secondary CS as an alternative source for synchronizing CSs.


5 Appendix

Conditions for Configuring the Air Synchronization

•

Master CS2 must be within range of Master CS1.

•

It is recommended that Master CSs be placed in the middle of the installation site.

•

Both a Primary CS and Secondary CS should be assigned to Slave CSs.

•

When using only two CSs on the network (only two CSs are connected to the PBX), make sure that you do not create a Master CS2.

•

All traditional CSs are automatically assigned and fixed as Master CS1.

•

When using IP-CSs and traditional CSs in the same area, make sure that you do not create a Master CS2.

•

When synchronizing CSs, do not create loops as in the examples below:

[Examples]

•

It is recommended that the number of levels in the synchronization hierarchy is minimized for stable air synchronization. The maximum number of levels is 4.


5 Appendix

Notice about Mutual Interference of Radio Waves

Mutual interference of radio waves may occur under the following conditions. This could lead to loss of air synchronization.

[Installation Environment]

As shown in the diagram below,

•

CS is synchronized with CS .

•

CS is outside the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "03".

•

CS is within the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "03".

[Conditions]

X = radio signal strength level of CS , Y = radio signal strength level of CS

•

Y is greater than X.

•

X and Y are nearly equal.

[Result]

CS loses air synchronization since the radio waves of CS interfere with the radio waves of CS received by CS .

Area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "03".

5 Appendix

Solution

Move CS to within the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "03".

[Result]

Radio wave interference will not occur since CS and CS will monitor each other’s radio waves.

5 Appendix

When Installing Additional CSs

Ensure that the following conditions are met when installing additional CSs.

•

For North America

→

Locate CS within the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "08".

For other countries/areas

→

Locate CS within the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is between "06" and

"07".

•

Locate CS within the area where the radio signal strength level of CS is "03".

[Result]

X = radio signal strength level of CS , Z = radio signal strength level of CS .

•

X is much greater than Z.

The radio waves of CS are not a source of interference since the radio waves that CS receives from

CS are stronger than those received from CS .

Conducting PS Area Check

1.

Call PS(2) from PS(1) to call the registered phone number via PS Registration.

PS(1) sends a tone signal to PS(2), and PS(2) returns the signal back to PS(1).

You can hear a tone when this signal is received.

2.

Set PS(2) close to the IP-CS and move around the service area listening to the tone from PS(1)’s receiver to confirm voice quality and handover operation.

The CS-ID and signal strength of the IP-CS you are connected to and the target IP-CS for Handover is displayed on the PS. When the signal strength is sufficiently strong, the CS-ID is displayed in green.

CSnnn-xx yy% nnn: Current sync CS ID xx: RSSI level yy: Error rate

Detected CS IDs and RSSI level are displayed.

If the RSSI level exceeds the threshold, it is displayed with green shading.

Notice

When checking the PS area, ensure that at least one IP-CS is displayed in green on the LCD of the handset within the service area.

Note

For information about the numbers displayed on this LCD screen, refer to the tables and example image

shown in "5.5.2 Preparing PSs to Test the Radio Signal Strength".

Notes for Conducting PS Area Check

When you conduct PS area checking, please note the following:

•

In order to perform handover for PSs, at least two IP-CSs need to be recognized by the PSs in the service area.

•

IP-CSs with a signal strength that is sufficiently strong but that are not currently connected are also displayed in green on the PS's LCD screen.

•

When the PS moves towards another IP-CS, the RSSI level of the currently connected IP-CS changes.


5 Appendix

•

Handover is performed when the RSSI level of the currently connected IP-CS becomes lower than the other IP-CS’s RSSI level.

•

Make sure to check that there is no noise during handover.
