5000 CP IP DECT Stand Configuration and Administration Guide – Issue 1.0, May 2010 Page 3
Introduction
The Mitel 5610 Cordless Handset and IP DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications) Stand provide basic Mitel 5000 Communications Platform (CP) phone
features on a cordless handset. The IP DECT Stand supports up to eight cordless handsets.
Each handset is programmed as a separate extension on the 5000 CP.
The IP DECT Stand connects to the network through the PC port on a Mitel 5312, 5320, 5324,
5330, 5340, or 5360 IP Phone. The IP DECT Stand provides call transfer, conferencing, and
other basic features between handsets, while the 5000 CP provides additional basic system
phone features to the handsets.
This document provides instructions on how to configure the IP DECT Stand and 5610 Cordless
Handsets to support the SIP phone functionality provided by the 5000 CP. Instructions for
physically installing the IP DECT Stand are covered in the 5610 Cordless Handset and IP DECT
Stand Installation Guide (part number 57011091). Instructions for using the 5610 Cordless
Handset are covered in the 5610 Cordless Handset Quick Reference Guide (part number
57011425). For more information on 5000 CP features and functionality available on the 5610
handset, refer to the latest 5000 CP Features and Programming Guide (part number 550.8006)
and the Database Programming online help.
Requirements and Conditions
Following are some requirements and conditions for using the Mitel 5610 Cordless Handset and
IP DECT Stand:
• The 5000 CP must be equipped with v4.0 or later software.
• Roaming (call handoff) is not supported between IP DECT Stands.
• Although you can register up to eight handsets with an IP DECT Stand, the stand only
supports up to three simultaneous calls. If three calls are already in progress via the IP
DECT Stand, any other handset users who attempt to place a call will receive busy tone.
o For site applications where all the users registered to a stand are expected to place
calls frequently, register a maximum of three handsets to the stand.
o For site applications where users seldom place calls, it may be suitable to register
more than three handsets to a single stand.
Optional Repeater
You can have up to six RTX4002 DECT repeaters connected to an IP DECT Stand to extend
handset signal range. Note that each repeater that you connect to the stand reduces the
number of supported handsets by one. For example, if you connect one repeater, then you can
only register seven handsets; if you connect two repeaters, then you can only register six
handsets; and so on.
A maximum of two simultaneous calls can be handled per repeater. Note that a local conference
established through the 5610 handset menus counts as two calls on a 5610 device.
Refer to the RTX4002 DECT Repeater User Manual (part number 95100805) for instructions on
how to install the repeater and register it with the stand. After registration is complete, the LED
on the repeater remains on solid. While the repeater is supporting a call, the LED on the
repeater flashes.
After installing a RTX4002 DECT repeater, test the signal range to ensure that the repeater has
registered with the stand. Test the handset signal range by going to the limit of signal range. If
the repeater has registered with the stand, the handset signal range should be approximately 50
meters (150 feet) indoors or 300 meters (900 feet) outdoors from the repeater. You can also use
the repeater verification tone to check if a handset is supported in the extended area of the
repeater.
