Subscriptions
2.1
General Information
Before it can be used, a handset (also known as portable telephone, portable part or PP)
must subscribe to the system. That means that it must be registered by the DECT
Manager.
Note: If your system requires licenses (“Licences” menu is displayed), make sure that
you have the required licenses (see Chapter 4 Licenses (Not Applicable for IP
DECT Rel. 5)
Note: If the extension numbers that you want to subscribe are not available in the list,
you must enter the required extension numbers using the “Add Number Range”
menu (see Chapter 5 Add Number Range
With Disable you remove the subscription data from the system and from the handset.
With Terminate you only remove it from the system.
Start the DECT Manager.
2.2
How to Subscribe a Handset
PROCEDURE:
How to Subscribe a Handset
Preconditions

The correct licence information must be entered. You can never subscribe more
handsets, than specified in the licence.

The extension number must already have been assigned in the DECT Manager and
also in the PABX to which the Business Mobility IP DECT system is connected.

Have the handset ready.

There are handset models (non-NEC Unified Solutions) that request for the PARK
(Portable Access Rights Key) during the subscription procedure. You need to enter
this PARK only if there are other DECT systems in the environment which are
operational and in Subscription mode! The PARK is displayed in the information area
in the DECT Manager.
IP DECT Networking Manual

Subscriptions
Actions
1.
Select the required available extension number(s). If the required number is not
visible, you may need to select another page. The page number is displayed in the
top and bottom rows of the subscriptions table. In our example there are two pages.
You can use shift and click to select a range of numbers.
2.
Click on Enable (or press shift+E) or Enable for Multi-Site (or press shift+M).
3.
Now the PIN will be shown. A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is generated by
the DECT Manager on each subscribe operation and only displayed while the
subscription status is 'enabled'.
(If required, you can change the displayed PIN code. When the subscription is in the
“enabled” state and the PIN code is displayed, click the PIN code and change the
code into a code that you prefer and click “OK”. This can be useful when subscribing
a handset that requires a fixed PIN (Authentication) code.)
4.
Enter the PIN from the handset within 2 minutes.
If the PIN is not entered within 2 minutes, the subscription mode is terminated for
that specific extension number and the subscription process must be started from
the beginning.
Note: Enable for Multi-Site is only visible if the system has a SARI. The Secondary
Access Rights (SARI) is used if you want to use a handset on more than one
DECT system but with the same subscription record in the handset. You
subscribe the handset to one system and copy the subscription record to other
systems, all having the same SARI. You don't need to subscribe the handset to
the other systems but use the Export (multi-site) option in the Pack Up & Go
menu to copy the subscription record to other systems.

2.7
Present/Absent Statuses
The Subscriptions window in the” DAP Manager IP DECT” shows two columns indicating
the status of a handset:

Presence
This shows the presence status of the handset in the DECT system. When the IP
DECT system detects that the handset is not present anymore, the status changes
from present to absent. Changing the status to absent can happen if one of the
following cases occurs:

Handset is switched off. (Applicable for handset types: C922, C933, C944, i600,
C124 and all other handset delivered after year 2005.)

Handset is put in charger in “silent charging mode”. (Applicable for handset
types: C933, C944, i600, C124 and all other handset delivered after year 2005.)

When handset is out of reach (or switched off) the system may detect that the
handset is not reachable anymore and automatically changes the status to
absent. This function and timing involved depends on system customized
settings. If this function is enabled in the IP DECT system, it takes 15 to 60
minutes before the system detects that the handset is not reachable anymore.

Subscriptions

Registration status
This reflects the status of the handset in the PBX. It can be “Registered” or “Absent”.
If the status is “Registered”, the handset is registered in the PBX and usually can be
used. If the status is “Absent”, it means that the handset is not registered in the
PABX and cannot make calls. If the handset is not registered in the PBX, a call to the
handset will normally be treated as “number not obtainable” or “Logged out”
(depending on the type of PABX).
Note: The “Presence” status of a handset can be “Absent” while the “Registration
status” is still “Registered” in the PABX. This condition may exist for a short time
only. Normally, the “Registration status” will automatically adapt to the correct
status. Note that in some PABX types the “Registration status” remains in the
“Registered” condition although the “Presence” status of the handset is Absent.
Note: The “Registration status” may show an indication that starts with an E. (e.g.
E.254) This is a technical code for engineers. (An explanation can be found in the
IP DECT Advanced Data manual. )

Access Points
The DECT Access Point (DAP) is the actual DECT transmitter/receiver.
When you click on Access Point in the menu list, you will see the following screen:
DECT Access Points (DAPs) are identified by their Radio Part Number (RPN). In the work
space, the DECT Manager displays the status of the present DAPs. The other information
is for the engineer. It is generated by the system and cannot be changed here. The
number of channels on a DAP is always 12. (In case of an older Release of IP DECT
which operates in licensed mode, the number of channels can be lower than 12.)
You can change the “comment” field to specify e.g. the position of the DAP in a building.
Click “Edit” to change the text in the Comment field.
Note: It is possible to change the RPN of a DAP by editing the RPN field. This should
only be done by authorized personal.
In the task area you see: Reboot, Reboot All, Delete and Set number of channels. You
may want to reboot a DAP for a software upgrade or if the DAP is not functioning properly
anymore.

Delete is used to remove radios that are defect and cannot be repaired anymore.
However, delete should only be used by a qualified engineer because it can have serious
consequences for the system regarding subscriptions and synchronization structure.

Licenses (Not Applicable for IP DECT Rel. 5
Note:
If the Licenses window is not displayed or partly displayed, it means that the
licenses are integrated in your product, and you don’t need to enter the licenses
manually.
Note: IP DECT Release 5 does not require licenses therefore, in IP DECT Release 5,
the Licenses window is not available.
Here you enter (new) license information. You must enter the license information before
you can enable subscriptions. You can never subscribe more handsets than specified in
your license.
When you prepare subscriptions for use in another system, no extra licences are
required.
The following license items can be displayed:

Number of handsets
The number that you enter in the this field is the maximum number of possible
subscriptions. This is the sum of single site handsets and multi-site handsets that are

Licenses
subscribed on this system.

Number of G.729 calls
This is the maximum number of simultaneous calls in the system using the G.729
compression technique. Note that in Release 4.2, the system ignores this license
and the actual number of simultaneous G.729 calls is not limited by this license.
Therefore you don’t see the “G.729” anymore under the menu “Licenses”. If you
have a license for G.729 calls you still need to enter your license here (although not
used) otherwise your license string is not accepted.

Number of 2 channel upgrades
Number of channels that can be assigned to the DAPs. This is always in steps of
two, therefore it is called “2 channel upgrades”.

Number of Branch Office DAPs
This is the maximum number of DAPs that can exist in a Branch Office. Note that
from Release 4.1 onwards, the system ignores this license and the actual number of
Branch Office DAPs is not limited anymore by this license. Therefore you don’t see
the “Branch Office DAPs” anymore under the menu “Licenses”. If you have a license
for Branch Office DAPs you still need to enter your license here (although not used)
otherwise your license string is not accepted.

Licence Key
32 digit key to enable your licenses.

Number of multi-site handsets
The maximum number of handsets that can be subscribed as multi site handsets.
Note that this number is associated with the Multi site license key.


Page 32
IP DECT Networking Manual
Handset Firmware Update

Maximum number of simultaneous updates (default)
This is the default maximum number of simultaneous updates that will take place
outside the periods that you define in “Define Update Periods”.

Maximum number of retries for non fatal errors
Specifies the maximum number of retries for non fatal errors.

Retry interval (minutes)
In the table Define Update Periods you must specify the days of the week and the
time period for each day that updating may take place. It is strongly recommended to
