1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL
The DECT Manager is a Management tool for the integrated DECT functionality in theSOPHO ISPBX. This management tool runs on a PC under Windows 2000 Professional orServer.The DECT Manager is a module in Management@Net and the SMPC (SOPHOMaintenance PC). The DECT Manager will never exist as stand alone module.Installation of the DECT Manager is part of the installation of the SMPC orManagement@Net and therefore the installation of the DECT Manager is not described inthis manual. For installation, consult the manuals for SMPC or Management@NetThis manual describes how to use the DECT Manager.
1.2. THE DECT SYSTEM
The DECT System is a mobile communication system which provides DECT (DigitalEnhanced Cordless Telecommunications) facilities integrated in an ISPBX. The followingfigure gives an overview of the system configuration.
Figure 1. System configuration.
Mobile users carry a portable DECT handset. This handset communicates with the ISPBXvia radio transceivers. The radio transceivers are connected to (one of the) DCC(DECT
Cluster Controller) boards in the ISPBX.

Page 6 DECT Manager Manual
The transceivers are placed within the working area so that a portable handset/telephone isalways within radio reach of at least one of such a transceiver.The transceiver is called Radio Fixed Part (RFP). The portable telephone is called PortablePart (PP).
Each DECT System has a unique (worldwide) identifier:
- Primary Access Rights Identifier (PARI).
This identifier is always transmitted by all RFPs as a beacon. The handset recognises thisbeacon and will be listening to that signal, to see if there is a call for it.
The DECT Manager is connected to the DECT System for management purposes.The DECT Manager is connected to one of the DCC boards in the DECT System. This canbe a direct connection (with barrier box) or via modems. During normal operation, it is notnecessary to have the DECT Manager connected to the DECT System.
1.3. DECT Manager MAIN FUNCTIONS
The following main functions are distinguished in the DECT Manager:
- Subscription Handling
This allows you to register (Subscribe) a PP to the system, or to de-register (de-
subscribe) a PP from the system.
- Board Management
This allows you to view the status of the board(s) and to make a backup of the
subscription data (registration data of the PPs) which is stored in the boards. As a matter
of fact you can also restore the subscription data to the board.
- Radio Management
This allows you to display the radio statuses and you can inform the system about the
required status.
- Configuration Management
This function is used to enter the DECT extension numbers.

1.4. BASIC MODULES IN THE DECT Manager
The DECT Manager comprises the following basic modules:
The Login ModuleThe Login Module enables a (system) administrator to define users of the DECTManager, and to define access rights for these users.It also allows language selection on user basis.
The Connection Manager Module
The Connection Manager allows you to specify details of the connection(s) to the
DECT System(s) that you want to manage. The DECT Manager Module uses the
Connection Manager for setting up a connection to a DECT System.
The Connection Manager is also used for dialled connections via a modem whenyou have a so called DCMIP connection, consult section 1.5 for more information.
When you are using an SNMP connection (see section 1.5), you must install the
modem software under Windows.
There are two types of Connection Manager modules:
- the Connection Manager (older type)- the CM@Net
The License Manager Module
The license Manager Module enable functions in the DECT Manager, based on theLicense that you have. The License Manager requires a dongle and a license file.
The DECT Manager Module
The DECT Manager Module is the actual DECT Manager that you use to manage your
local and remote DECT Systems. You can manage a number of DECT Systems with
one DECT Manager. The following main functions are distinguished in the DECT
Manager:
- Subscription Handling.
-Board Management.
- Radio Management
- Configuration Management.
Themodules are linked together as depicted in the following figure.

1.4.1. Additional Modules for Performance Management
Besides the basic modules, there are tools to handle performance data. However, there isa difference in performance data handling between the two types of interfaces that canexist between the DECT System and the DECT Manager. For information on these twotypes of interfaces consult section 1.5.
DCMIP Based interfaceThis type is only applicable for DCC-4 (24/32-DCC) boards with firmware packageF43040 or F43140.If the interface between the DECT System and the DECT Manager is based on DCMIPprotocol, then the old type of Performance Manager is available. This type only
retrieves raw data from the DECT SYSTEM. The performance data must be sent to thethird line maintenance department for further analysis.
TCP/IP interface (Ethernet or V.24)If the interface between the DECT System and the DECT Manager is based on TCP/IPprotocol, two new tools are available for retrieving and analysing performance data:
- DECT Performance Data Retrieval User Interface (DPDRUI)The DPDRUI is used to retrieve performance data from the system on regular timeintervals.
- DECT Performance Manager.

- The DECT Performance Manager is used to analyse the data that is retrieved bymeans of the DPDRUI.
The DECT Performance Manager is licensed by means of the License Manager. The
License Manager is automatically installed during installation of the DECT Manager.However, the License Manager requires a dongleand a license file, to enable the
Performance Manager.
1.5. DECT MANAGER INTERFACE TYPES
The DECT Manager can work with two different types of Interface Protocols to the
DCC(s) in the DECT System:
V-modem protocol over V.24On t top of the V-modem Protocol, DCMIP (DECT CARD Management Interface
Protocol) is used.
DCMIP is a proprietary protocol, that is used by the DCC-4 boards with firmware
package F43140vx.yyy.
TCP/IP over V.24 or Ethernet
The TCP/IP protocol is available via the V.24 interface or Ethernet interface.
The protocol that runs over TCP/IP is either SNMP or DCMIP. The following list
shows the board types with used protocols:
- DCC-4 with firmware F43240 uses SNMP over TCP/IP- DCC-8 uses SNMP over TCP/IP- DCC-8(R) uses DCMIP over TCP/IP
Note, that the DCC-8uses SNMP over TCP/IP and the DCC-8(R)uses DCMIP over
TCP/IP.
Note: The DECT Manager under SMPC 5.3 and Management@Net 3.1 will select the
higher layer protocol (either SNMP or DCMIP) automatically when connection
is made. You dont need to set this up in the configuration!
The connection configuration of a DECT Manager using DCMIP with V-modem over
V.24 (using DCMIP protocol) is straight forward and is depicted in Figure 2.
Interworking between the DECT Manager Modules.
The connection configuration of a DECT Manager using TCP/IP can be established
over two media types: V.24 or Ethernet. For a DCC card with V.24 connection you
must use TCP/IP over a Dial-Up adapter to use the com port. The SNMP configuration
is depicted in Figure 3. Interworking between the DECT Manager Modules (without
License Manager and Performance Manager and based on TCP/IP protocol). If you
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
10/129
Page 10 DECT Manager Manual
have an Ethernet connection to the DCX card on the DCC-8 board or directly to the
DCC-8(R) board, you dont need to set up the Dial-Up adaptor.
Note: The DECT Manager under the SMPC umbrella supports all protocols and
connection types and therefore all DCC board types.The DECT Manager under Management@Net (latest version) only supports TCP/IPprotocol. The means that all DCC types are supported except for DCC-4 boardswith firmware package F43040 and F43140.

1.6. PROCEDURES FOR USING THE DECT Manager
The procedures for using the DECT Manager are as follows:
1. Make sure that the DECT System is correctly installed (consult the DECT CE Manual).
2. Make sure that the DECT Manager is correctly connected to the DECT System (consult
the DECT CE Manual).
3. Install the DECT Manager under Windows. (Consult chapter 2 in this manual).
4. If you are using your DECT Manager with a TCP/IP connection to the DECT System via
V.24, you must configure the (null) modem configuration and the Dial-Up adaptor under
Windows first before continuing with the next step. Configuring the modem and Dial-Up
adaptor under Windows is described in Appendix B.
5. Configure the Connection Manager to specify the connection to the DECT System(s)
that you want to manage (see chapter 4 in this manual).
6. Configure the users in the Login Module (see chapter 4)
7. Start-up the DECT Manager Module and make it ready for use. (see chapter 4 in this
manual.)
8. Subscribe the handsets (see chapter 5 in this manual). For a step by step subscription
procedure, consult the DECT CE Manual.
For more information on the hardware aspects or on the functionality of DECT, consult the
DECT CE Manual.

3. CONNECTION CONFIGURATION
3.1. GENERAL
You use the Connection Manager to specify details of connections and set-up connections
between your PC and DECT Systems. These details are used by the DECT Manager
module to establish a connection with the DECT System. The Connection Manager also
co-operates with the Licence Manager, to check the licence of an application before it may
run.
This chapter does not give a detailed step-by-step description on how to set up the
connections, because that is described in the On-line Help. However, this chapter
provides insight in a number of aspects of the connection set-up.
Note that there are two different types of Connection Managers:
Connection Manager for V.24 (and limited IP connection configurations)
This is the older type of Connection Manager. It uses an MS Access database to store
the configuration. The configuration tool for this Connection Manager can be started via
the following icon, which is present in the Configurators icon / directory:
CM@Net
This is the current type of Connection Management tool. The configuration is stored in
an SQL database. Therefore it requires that you have an SQL Server or MSDE Server
running on your computer. You can set up IP connections only via this tool. The IP
connection can be over Ethernet, or V.24 using a Dial-Up adaptor (via modem, null-
modem or direct cable connection). The configuration tool for the CM@Net can be
started via the following icon, which is present in the Configurators icon / directory.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
14/129
Page 14 DECT Manager Manual
If you have SMPC 5.x.x installed you will have an extra configuration tool to set up
connection configurations: the SMPC Configuration Manager. This tool does not only
create connection manager configurations but also stores specific application data. It
allows you to manage different systems and different system types (not only DECT) from
one PC. The icon for this Configuration Manager is as follows:
When you start up this SMPC Configuration Manager, you are guided through a couple of
windows to set up configuration details. This is not described in this manual, because it is
SMPC specific. However, when you come to the point where you have to set up the
Connection Manager items, you must choose between the Connection Manager for V.24 or
CM@Net for IP connections. This selection must be made by means of the following
screen:
If you select the option V.24, you will create a configuration via the Connection Manager for
V.24 connections (and limited types of IP connections). If you select TCP/IP connections,
you will create a configuration via the CM@Net module for TCP/IP connections.
3.2. WHICH CONNECTION MANAGER TYPE TO USE
The following table gives an overview of the Connection Manager types and the Board
types that there are.

Manager for various types of DCC boards.
3.3. CONNECTION MANAGER
To setup a connection to a DECT System over V.24 using to a DCC-4 with firmware
package F43040 or F43140, follow the following procedure:
Note: Although it is possible in the Connection Manager to set up a TCP/IP connection aswell (either over V.24 or Ethernet), this is not discussed in this section. Thepreferred tool for this is CM@Net.
1. Startup the Connection Manager Configurator, either via the SMPC Configuration
Manager or via the CM Database Configurator.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
16/129
Page 16 DECT Manager Manual
2. Select the connection type that you want to set up.
For a direct V.24 connection, use the Direct connection to ISPBX without buffer or port-
selector.
3. Fill in the windows that are displayed after clicking Next.
3.4. CM@Net CONNECTION SETUP
To set up a connection to a DCC System using TCP/IP over V.24 or Ethernet, follow the
following procedure:
Note: This procedure assumes that there is only one connection, which is exclusivelyused for the DECT System. If you want to set up more than one connections tomore destinations or devices, the configuration set up is more complex and notdescribed in this manual.
1. Start up the CM@Net Configurator, either via the SMPC Configuration Manager or viathe CM@Net Database Configurator.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf

2. In the screen that is displayed, right mouse click Select a Destination. Select Create.Select PBX CPU3000. The screen that is displayed, when you select the menu items,should look like the following:
3. After creating the PBX CPU3000 item, you will see a configuration with an itemiSPBX. Right mouse click this item and select Create and then DAS-iS. The windowshould look like the following:
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
18/129
Page 18 DECT Manager Manual
4. The following screen is displayed:
Here you must fill in the IP address or the Host Name of the DCC board to which you
want to set up a connection. (Host Name is only possible if there is a reference in a
DNS server to the DCC. This is normally not the case.)
The default values in the other fields in this screen are generally correct and do not
need to be changed. However, if the connection goes via a Proxy Server, you must
check the box Use Proxy. Then you will see more fields that should be filled in. The
information should come from the IT Manager for the network.
5. Now the connection configuration is set up in the CM@Net module.
Note: If you have a V.24 connection, you still need to set up the Dial-Up adaptor in theWindows environment. This is explained in Appendix B. If you have an Ethernetconnection, make sure that the Ethernet adaptor card settings are correct.
Note: Besides setting up the connection configuration, you need to set up the DECTManager. (See chapter 5)

4. LICENCE MECHANISMS
4.1. INTRODUCTION
The DECT Manager is protected by two separated licence mechanisms:
Licence ManagerThe License Manager is part of the Management@Net or SMPC software. It enablesthe functions of your DECT Manager to be used.
It is described in this chapter.
Handset licensingHandset licensing is a function of the DECT Manager Module itself. It determines the
maximum number of handsets that can be used on your DECT System.
This type of licensing is mentioned in the chapter 5,"USING DECT Managerand inchapter 10,CHANGING OPTIONSin this manual.
4.2. LICENCE MANAGER
You use the Licence Manager to activate the licences for the functions in the DECTManager module.By means of the Licence Manager, you can load and display the licences.
So, there are two licence types:
- Application licence (for the DECT Manager Module as such)
- Functionality licence for: Subscription management functionality and
Configuration management functionality
Licences are required as depicted in the following figure.

5. USING DECT Manager
5.1. GENERAL
The DECT Manager can be used to manage a multiple of DECT Systems. It allows remoteconnections. The general characteristics of the DECT Manager are as follows:
- Number of boards to manage: 32
- Number of RFPs to manage: 128 (DCC4) or 256 (DCC8)- Max.number of subscriptions: 960 (un-concentrated DECT System) or 16320
(concentrated DECT System)- Max. subscriptions/board: 32 (un-concentrated DECT System) or 510
(concentrated DECT System)1
- Number of DECT Systems: No software limit
- Number of simultaneous users: 1
The DECT Manager is capable of handling an unlimited number of DECT Systems.However a practical maximum depends on the frequency that the systems must beaccessed, the size of the DECT Systems, the available Hard Disk space etc.
The DECT Manager creates and maintains a Database of each DECT System to which ithas been connected. This means that the Database in the DECT Manager must be keptconsistent with the Database in the DECT System. Therefore read the section DatabaseStructures in this chapter carefully.
5.2. LOGIN MODULE
5.2.1. General
The Login Module is a back ground module which is fully integrated with the DECT
Manager Module. It provides personalised access protection on user level. It also provides
personal definition of the language for each individual user. The background process of the
Login Module presents a login screen to the DECT Manager user and to the DECT
Manager Connections configurator user.
There are three different types of users:
System administratorThe system administrator level is the first entry for the Login Module. So, the first timethat you use the Login Module, you must login on this level by means of the nameSystem Administrator and an empty password field. It gives you full access (same as
1An un-concentrated DECT System allows you to have a maximum of 32 extension
numbers on one DCC. A concentrated DECT System allows you to have more than 32
extension numbers on one DCC.

the Administrator level). You must use this level to create users and administrators forthe first time. For security reasons, do not forget to change the default password froman empty field into a secure password.
AdministratorThe administrators are allowed to manage ordinary users and their profile, and have full
subscription and configuration authority for the DECT Manager. Users, logging in as
administrator are able to:
- Change their password- Define new users and related passwords- Delete existing users
- Assign authority levels for users, i.e. subscription management or full management- Set the language for users.
Ordinary usersOrdinary users have usage authority for the DECT Manager as assigned by theadministrator. This authority can be:
- Subscrition Management (in the DECT Manager Module) only, or
- Subscription and Configuration Management (in the DECT Manager Module)..
When starting the Login Module they are able to:
- Change their password

5.2.2. Using the User Administrator
The Login Module is a background process. However, the background process uses adatabase file in which the users are specified. To configure the user database file, youmust use the User Administrator.
The User Administrator is an icon in the Configurators icon.Only the Administrators (or the System Administrator) are able to get access the the UserAdministrator tool.
The User Administrator screen is as follows:

The screen allows you to do the following:
- Add users,- Delete users,
- Change user profiles,- Print users,
- Change options- Find users.
5.3. DATABASE STRUCTURES
5.3.1. General
There are Databases at two sides: the boards in the DECT System and the DECTManager. The Databases contain configuration information as well as subscriptioninformation.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
24/129
Page 24 DECT Manager Manual
The Database in the DECT System is used during normal operation of the System. TheDatabase in the DECT Manager is used to display the configuration information to theDECT Manager user. It is also used to make off-linechanges in the configuration.
The two data bases should contain exactly the same information (should be consistent).The DECT Manager uses the following mechanism to keep the Database consistent withthe DECT System:
- At the very first time connection to a DECT System, the Database is copied from theSystem to the DECT Manager.
- If you make any changes, the DECT Manager will take care that the content of itsDatabase is kept consistent with the DECT System.
In Figure 5. Database management.this structure is depicted.
If somebody else is using another DECT Manager on the DECT System, and makeschanges, then your DECT Manager is not capable anymore to keep its Databaseconsistent with the System. The DECT Manager does NOT notice that the Database is notconsistent any more, so the information on you DECT Manager screen is not reliableanymore !
To prevent this situation read the advices in section 5.3.2.

5.3.2. Keeping Databases Consistent
It is very important to keep the Databases consistent
Make sure that no other DECT Manager will ever be used on your DECT System.You can do this by make firm agreements with all other possible DECT Manager usersin the environment.
If you are not sure that you are the only one with a DECT Manager that hasaccess to the DECT System, make sure that you always make a backup first, afterestablishing a connection or before you are making any changes by means of the
DECT Manager.
The Database file in the DECT Manager is related to other files, so dont try to store the
Database file on floppy or other medium.
If you want to make a backup of the database, use the Advanced button.
Note: If the Database on a board is not reliable anymore you can execute a Clean Board
for that specific board. This means that all the subscription data will be removed
from that board! Then you can restore the Database on the board from the DECT
Manager Database.
5.4. STARTING-UP THE DECT Manager
5.4.1. For The First Time on a Specific DECT System
To start-up the DECT Manager for the first time on a specific DECT System, execute thefollowing procedure:
1. Make sure that you have configured your Connection Manager for the DECT System
that you want to manage.
2. Double click the DECT Manager Icon to start it up.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
27/129
DECT Manager Manual Page 27
3. Now you can select a DECT System.
There is always the Demo DECT System. Because you start-up the DECT Manager for
the first time on this DECT System, you must install the DECT System in the DECT
Manager. To install the DECT System in the DECT Manager, make sure that the DECT
destination is defined in the Connection Manager (see previous Chapters) and click on
button: Install new DAS.
4. Check that you are in screen. DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 1 If so, click
button Next. If you are not in this screen, then you are in DECT Manager DAS Install
Wizard Step 2. Continue with the next step in this procedure.
5. You are in screen. DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 2.
You see a list of DECT Destination names. Note that the DECT destination names are
the same names as you have specified in the Connection Manager.
Select the DAS Destination, and click button Next.
6. Now you are in screen. DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 3 Name of DAS.
Enter a Unique name for the DECT System. This can be any given name. Click Next.
7. Now you are in screen. DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 4 Login.
The DECT Manager tries to establish a connection to the DECT System. It may show
the connection status in a special Connection Status information Window.
8. If the connection is established, it will retrieve information (PARI, type of system etc.)
from the DECT System. You are now in the DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step
5. Fill in the PARI. If the PARI that you filled in matches with the PARI in the system,
you can continue. Click Next.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
28/129
Page 28 DECT Manager Manual
9. DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 6 is displayed.
Here you must enter the License string for the handset license together with the
maximum number of handsets that can be subscribed. Besides that you can (if
applicable) enter the license string for the handsets used with Multi-site subscription.
The handset licence string and the maximum number of extensions/handsets are
related to the unique system identifier, the PARI (Primary Access Rights Identifier). The
licence information is written on a licence agreement that comes with the DECT
System.
Check that the PARI that is displayed, agrees with the PARI that you have on your
licence agreement. If not, you have the wrong licence agreement OR you have set-up aconnection to the wrong system.
Enter the Licence string. This string consists of 16 hexadecimal characters. The
characters have to be entered as lower case characters.
Enter the maximum number of extensions.
If you use handsets on more than one DECT system (Multi-site) using a SARI, then
enter the Multi-site handset licence string as well as the number of extensions that is
associated with it. The licence string consists of 32 hexadecimal characters (letters in
the string are always lower case). Note that the licence string for Multi-site subscription
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
29/129
DECT Manager Manual Page 29
is related to the SARI. The SARI should have been configured in the DECT system
already. You will find the Multi-site licence string with SARI and number of handsets in
the licence agreement. (For an explanation of Multi-site subscription consult chapter 6.)
If the licence information is valid, the button Next will be enabled. So, click Next.
10. Now the Dect Manager Das Install Wizard Step 8 is displayed.
This window is the same as the one that is available in the Options menu. Therefore
consult section 10.5 for more information on this. If you want to use the defaults, click
Next to continue.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf

Page 30 DECT Manager Manual
11. You are now in the DECT Manager DAS Install Wizard Step 9 screen.
12. Check the information on the screen. If it is correct, click on Finish.
The DECT Manager will download information from the DECT System and will create a
local Database for that DECT System.
After finishing the download, the DECT Manager is ready for use.
Note: If you start-up the DECT Manager for that DECT System, and there are no
extension numbers visible in the Subscriptions tab you have to enter them via
the Configuration tab. Continue with chapter 9,CONFIGURATION

5.4.2. Starting DECT Manager for Known DECT System
To start-up the DECT Manager for DECT System that has been accessed before via the
DECT Manager, execute the following procedure:
1. Double click the DECT Manager Icon to start it up.
2. Now you can select a DECT System from a list.
(There is always the Demo DECT System.)
3. The DECT Manager will start-up with the local Database. Generally, it will not set-up a
connection to the DECT System.
The DECT Manager will only (automatically) set-up a connection when it is required to
exchange data between the DECT System and the DECT Manager.
Note: In this stage, you must make sure that nobody else has made changes in the
System via another DECT Manager. If you are not sure, you must make a
backup of all DECT Boards in the System ! Use the menu option Backup in the
Boards menu.
4. Now you can make changes locally. If necessary, the DECT Manager will automatically
set-up a connection to the System, to implement your changes on subscription data.
5. If you need any help, consult the Help feature in the DECT Manager. It contains Help
information to lead you through the actions that you want to do.
6. The Advance button is described in the following subsection. If you dont need the
functions under this button, continue with section 5.5
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf

5.4.3. Advanced BUTTON
When you are in the Select DECT System window, the Advanced button is available.
When you click this button, you are in the following screen.
The following buttons are available:
Export
This button allows you to export the entire database of a DECT System from your
DECT Manager database. You can select the drive/directory where you want to movethe database to. Note that this is a move function.After an export, the database of
that DECT System is no longer in the DECT Manager, and therefore you do not see this
DECT System anymore in the Select DECT System window. (The moved database is
an MS Access database.)
Note that when you want to import this database back into the DECT Manager, you
need to enter the PARI. If you put the database on floppy, also write down the PARI on
the floppy.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf

DECT Manager Manual Page 33
Import
This button allows you to import a DECT database that you have exported via the
export menu. After an import you will see the name of that DECT System in the
Select DECT System window.
Note that the DECT Manager asks you the PARI of the DECT System database, that
you want to import.
Copy Comments
This function allows you to copy the comment field information of one DECT System
database to another DECT System database. The comment info is the information
that you see in the DECT Manager Windows in the column comment.
Note that this function is enabled only when you have more than one DECT System in
the List of available DECT Systems in the Export/Import field.

DECT Manager Manual Page 35
The Tabs in the screen determine what is displayed and enable management functions to
you. In the following Chapters, the individual tabs with their functions are discussed
The Connect (Disconnect) button in the tool bar is a general item and needs explanation:
Connect (Disconnect) Button
The Connect button is used to establish a connection manually and keeping this
connection open.
After clicking the Connect button, this button changes to Disconnect. The
Disconnect button means that the DECT Manager opens a connection automatically
when it needs a connection for subscription handling. It automatically disconnects when
it does not need a connection anymore.
So, basically, this button allows you to toggle between manual (permanent) connection
set up and automatic connection set up.
Under normal circumstances, the DECT Manager sets up and breaks down a
connection automatically when a connection to the system is required (e.g. for
Subscription handling).
Other functions (e.g. Radio Status change, Clear board) require a manual connection
set-up. So, for these functions you must use this Connect button to establish a
permanent connection.
However, for Subscription handling you can use this button to ensure a continuous
connection. When the connection is established manually, the button changes into a
Disconnect button. When the connection is established automatically, the button does
not change into Disconnect because it does not reflect the status of the connection.
The actual status of the connection is displayed in the left bottom corner of the screen.
Note: The Connect/Disconnect button sets up a connection on DECT Manager level
only. If your DECT System uses SNMP protocol, you need to have an openTCP/IP connection (in Windows) to the system. When you have an Ethernet
connection, most likely the connection is open, however fi you have a V.24
connection, you must establish a TCP/IP connection to the DECT System by
means of the Dial-Up adaptor.

6. SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT
6.1. GENERAL
Before a handset can be used, it must be subscribed(registered)to the system. That
means that a relation must be defined between the DECT System and the handset.
Figure 6. Relation between the DECT System and the Handset
During subscription, information about the handset is stored in the DECT System and
information about the DECT System is stored in the handset. So, at both sides (handset
and System), subscription information is stored.
For the subscription procedure the DECT Manager must be used, where you can select an
extension number for a handset. Then you enable the Subscription Procedure and the
DECT Manager generates a code (PIN code or Authentication Code). This code must be
entered in the handset within a certain time period. If the operation has been completed
successfully, the handset is subscribed to the system and is allowed to make and receive
calls.
A handset can be subscribed to more than one DECT System. Therefore, it can be used in
areas covered by different DECT Systems or in different areas with their own DECT
System. For example, this allows you to use the same handset for the DECT System,
which is operational in your company and also for your home DECT. Also if the company is
located at different sites, it is possible to use the same handset at the different sites, if
DECT Systems are present on these sites. It has a different extension number for each
DECT System. It cannot roam from one of these areas to the other, while busy with a
conversation.
The user of the handset must ensure that his set is communicating with the required DECT
System, when making calls in a certain area. This may be done manually by a selection
key, depending on the type of the handset. There are also handsets, which select a DECT
System automatically

6.2. MULTI-SITE MOBILITY
Multi-site Mobility allows a user to roam from one DECT system (site) to another. It does
not support handover when the user is in a conversation!
Only if the DECT systems (sites) support Multi-site mobility with External handover (as
additional feature) and use a SARI (Secondary Access Rights Identifier), handover is
supported between the sites but it is not seamless handover.
Multi-site Mobility requires that the handset is subscribed to all DECT systems that are
involved in the Multi-site Mobility.
There are two ways for using a handset on more than one system:
- Subscribe the handset to all DECT systems individually. In that case you must go to
each individual system and execute the subscription procedure for the handset. The
handset carriers as many subscription records as the number of systems to which it is
subscribed. Each subscription for this handset requires a handset licence in the each
system.
- Subscribe a handset using Multi-site subscription Mechanism.
This is most likely an easier (and in some cases cheaper) solution then the solution
mentioned above. Multi-site subscription is based on using a SARI and requires one
handset license for each handset that is involved in the multi-site subscription. The
licence is related to one subscription record in the handset (based on SARI) and not to
the number of systems to which it is subscribed (based on PARI).
The following subsection explains the function of the SARI
SECONDARY ACCESS RIGHTS IDENTIFIER (SARI)
The SARI (Secondary Access Right Identifier) is a second DECT system identifier. (The
PARI is the primary system identifier - Access Rights Identifier.). It has the same
function as the PARI, but it is used as a second identifier in case the PARI does not
match between the DECT system and the handset.
The PARI is a unique identifier belonging to one DECT system only. The SARI is an
identifier used in more than one DECT system. The DECT system transmits both PARI
and SARI as identification signals.
If the handset detects a DECT signal in the air, it checks whether the PARI in that signal
matches with its own PARI data in the subscription record. If so, the handset "locks"
(listens) to that signal. If not, the handset does a second check but now on the received
SARI. If that matches, the PP "locks" (listens) to that signal.
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
38/129
Page 38 DECT Manager Manual
The Secondary Access Rights (SARI) is used in case you want to use your handset on
more than one DECT system. The handset uses only one subscription record for all
systems having that SARI.
For using a SARI, you must subscribe your handset to one system using the Multi-siteSubscription function. Then you must copy the subscription record to other systems, all
having the same SARI. You don't need to subscribe that handset anymore to the other
systems.
Figure 7. Three DECT systems using SARIgives an example of three different DECT
systems (three different PARIs) and one SARI. In this example the handset is
subscribed to the SARI of system X. This SARI is not unique because the other
systems have the same SARI. Therefore the subscription record can be copied from
DECT System X to the other DECT Systems. (The DECT Manager allows you to copy
the subscription record from one DECT System to another.) When the handset receivesradio signals from system Y or system Z, it first checks the PARI of that system and if
that doesn't match with its Access Rights Identifier (ARI - also referred to as PARK) it
will do a check for the SARI of that system. The SARI matches with the ARI in the
handset. Then the handset does a check if the subscription data in the system matches
with its stored subscription data. This matches because the subscription data was
copied from the system to which the original subscription was made. So, the handset
can also be used on systems Y and Z.

6.3. SUBSCRIPTION STATUSES
There are five subscription statuses distinguished:
Available: The extension number is not in use. It is available for a new subscription.
Busy: A new subscription request was started at the DECT Manager but is not yetsent to the DECT System or confirmed by the DECT System. Only when theDECT Manager gets a confirmation back from the DECT Manager, thestatus changes from Busy to Enabled.
Enabled: The subscription process is started in the DECT System. A pin code isdisplayed. This pin code (sometimes referred to as Authentication Code)must be entered at the handset that is going to be subscribed. The Systemis waiting for a subscription from the handset for a maximum of 16 minutes.If the system does not receive a subscription confirmation from a handsetwithin 16 minutes, the Enable status is withdrawn and the extensionnumber goes back to the status Available
Subscribed: Extension is known to the System and can be used for calls.
Black listed: The DECT Manager user has disabled an extension that had the status:Subscribed. After clicking on Disable the status changes fromSubscribed to Black Listed. Depending on the software in the System,one of the following things will happen:
- Subscription information is removed from the handset and from theSystem, if the handset is within reach and switched on.
- Subscription information is removed from the handset and from theSystem, if handset goes off-hook or at the moment that it starts ringing.

Menu options
Via the Subscriptions Menu, the following options are available:
The function of the Enable and the Enable Multi-site option is as follows:
Enable: Starts the subscription procedure to subscribe a handset to the
PARI. After clicking Enable the DECT Manager displays a PIN
code to be entered into the handset within 16 minutes.
Enable Multi-site: Starts the subscription procedure to subscribe a handset to the
SARI. After clicking Enable Multi-site the DECT Manager
displays a PIN code to be entered into the handset within 16
minutes. After successful subscription, the subscription record can
be copied to the other DECT systems with the same SARI on
which the handset is going to be used.
The function of the Disable and the Remove option is as follows:
Disable: Removes the Subscription data from the handset as well as from the DECT
System, so from both sides. The handset must be within reach of the radio
signals and must be switched on. In some system types you also need to go
off-hook with the handset or call the handset to activate the de-subscription
process.If the Disable cannot be performed at the handset side, a Remove
(subscription data is removed form the System and not from the handset) can
be performed automatically after a specified time period (see chapter 9).
Remove: Subscription data is removed from the System only and NOT from the
handset. That must be done manually, if possible on the handset !

6.5. HOW TO SUBSCRIBE A HANDSET
1. Make sure that the extension number of the handset is assigned via the Configuration
Tab.
2. Make sure that you have the User Guide of the handset, to see how the Subscription
procedure must be executed at the handset side.
3. Go to the Help Menu option and select the help information on how to Subscribe an
extension. (If you want to subscribe more than one extension in one go, you can select
multiple extensions).
Hints and Tips:
You can start the Subscription for a range of extension numbers. (This is done
according to the normal Windows method using the key.) However, for practical
reasons, do not start the Subscription process for more than 10 extensions at the time.
If you try to enable subscription for more than 10 extensions at the time you will get the
following popup message:
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
45/129
DECT Manager Manual Page 45
6.6. HOW TO DE-SUBSCRIBE/DISABLE A HANDSET
1. Make sure that.
- The handset is within reach of the DECT System radio signals.
- The handset is switched on.
2. Select an extension number and click on Disable. Now the subscription data is
automatically removed from the DECT Manager, the DECT system and the handset.
The Subscription states must go via black-listed to available.
If you disabled a handset with Multi-sitesubscription on one DECT system, you must
remove the subscription record(s) from other DECT systems as well, but with the
Remove button. Disable does not work on the other systems for the Multi-site handset
anymore, because there is no subscription record in the handset anymore.
Note: If the Disable procedure is successful, the subscription data is removed from the
handset as well as from the DECT System. If the handset is not available anymore
because it is broken or lost, you could remove subscription data from the DECT
System only by means of the Remove option in the Subscriptions menu. You
should use this option only if everything else failed, because it does not remove
subscription data from the handset.
Hints and Tips:
You can start the De-subscription for a range of extension numbers. (This is done
according to the normal Windows method using the key.)
If you do this, the system asks for a confirmation by means of the following popup
screen:
The Help information give you a precise procedure on how to De-subscribe.

Comment
Here you can add comment information. If the comment field is empty for the Relay
board, then the DECT Manager enters automatically the text: Relay board.
The relay board is the board to which the DECT Manager is connected.
If you have entered text manually and the board is the relay board, then the DECT
Manager does not enter Relay board. However, the DECT Manager highlights the
comment line of the Relay board as an indication that this is the relay board.
Backup button
This button allows you to make a backup of the configuration and subscription data of
the board. The backup is stored in the Database in your DECT Manager. Normally the
DECT Manager takes care that the data in the board remains consistent with the data in
the DECT Manager. However if you are not sure that the data in the Database in your
system is not up to date anymore, you must make a backup. (See chapter 5.3,
DATABASE STRUCTURES for an explanation of the Database mechanism)
Note: Comment information is not stored in the DECT System. So, the comment
information does not change when you execute a Backup.
RestorebuttonThis button restores configuration and subscription data from the Database in yourDECT Manager. If you need to replace a board, then you need to restore thesubscription data to the board, otherwise the handsets subscribed to the previous board,need to be subscribed again.
Note: Make sure that the connection to the System is open before executing the
Restore, and make sure that there are no subscription actions in progress on the
selected board (all extensions in subscription status Available or Subscribed).

7.2. MENU OPTIONS
The menu options are as follows:
The menu options are self explaining except for the option: Clear Board. This option isdisplayed if the connection is established with the DECT System. If the connection is notestablished, the option Clear Board is NOT displayed!!
Caution: The Clear Board REMOVES ALL subscription data from the board.
Use this option only in one of the following cases:
- Subscription data on the board is corrupt and a Restore does not solve the problem.- A board has been received from the repair store and still contains subscription data from
a previous life. In this case, first try to do a Restore. If the board remains faulty, thenexecute a Clear board and try to do a Restore again.
Note that the Clear Board option does not remove the subscription data from theDataBase in the DECT Manager. If you execute a Backup for a board that has beencleared, the subscription information is removed from the DECT Manager DataBase aswell.

For DECT Systems with a TCP/IP interface protocol, the following screen is displayed:
In the Radios screen you see the following terms:
Radio IdThis is the Radio address in the System. Consult Appendix A for addressing structures.If, the option Convert to Ids in the menu is switched off, then you see a radionumbering from 1 4 per DCC4 board and 1 8 per DCC8 board.
InstalledThis is a software indication, whether the Radio is expected to be installed or not. Itdoesnt say anything about the actual status of the Radio. If you change the setting from
Installed to Not Installed, the Radio will stay operational !Note, that in case of a DCC-8, the power to the RFP is switched off when set to NotInstalled. So, that means that the RFP will go down if it is not locally powered!However, if set to Installed and the Radio is not operational an alarm will be generated inthe DECT System: RFP Malfunctioning.
Not InstalledThis is a software indication, whether the Radio is expected to be Not Installed. It doesntsay anything about the actual status of the Radio. If you change the setting fromInstalled to Not Installed, the Radio will stay operational !

9. CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
9.1. GENERAL
The Configuration Management screen is used to enter extension numbers. This means
that, before you can subscribe an extension, it must have been entered in the configuration
screen.
Each extension that you enter in this screen must be an extension number that is known in
the PABX (host system) as well. So make sure that the extension numbers that you enter
here match with the extension numbers (range) that have been defined in the PABX (host
system).
Note, that the DECT Manager detects automatically whether your DECT System is a
concentrated or an un-concentrated version. The DECT Manager displays the screen that
is appropriate for the DECT System type.
(An un-concentrated DECT System allows you to have a maximum of 32 extension
numbers on one DCC. A concentrated DECT System allows you to have more than 32
extension numbers on one DCC.)
Note: The board address ranges which are displayed in the configuration screen, aredifferent for the two system (protocol) types: V-modem/DCMIP protocol and TCP/IPprotocol.
The board ranges for systems with V-modem/DCMIP interface are:
First backbone section in the system: 0 . . . 7Second backbone section in the system: 16 . . . 23Third backbone section in the system: 32 . . . 39Fourth backbone section in the system: 48 . . . 55
The board ranges for systems with TCP/IP interface are:
First backbone section in the system: 1 . . . 8
Second backbone section in the system: 9 . . . 16Third backbone section in the system: 17 . . . 24Fourth backbone section in the system: 25 . . . 32

10.2. GENERAL TAB
The general tab in V-modem/DCMIP systems has the following contents:
8/14/2019 DECT Manager Manual.pdf
59/129
DECT Manager Manual Page 59
The general tab in TCP/IP systems has the following contents:
The meaning of the options is as follows:
Maximum XXX connections at the same time (only visible with V-modem protocol)
This is the maximum number of DECT Systems that can have a connection to the
DECT Manager at the same time. The limit for this number is the number of available
COM ports. This parameter sets a limit on the number of COM ports that can be used
at the same time for DECT Management. This can be useful if the COM port(s) may
also be required for other applications.
Always use this DECT SystemThis is a Yes/No option. If you enable this function, the DECT does not show the DECT
System selection screen anymore when you start the DECT Manager. If you want to
manage more than one DECT System with your DECT Manager, always disable this
function.

Never remove
A black-listed status that is not acknowledged by the actual removing of the
subscription data, will never be removed. If you disable this function, you must enter the
time period where after the black-listed status is removed. See following option
description
Remove Black listed subscription after minimal: Days, Hours, Minutes
A Black listed status means that the subscription data is waiting to be removed from
both sides: the DECT System and the handset. For removing, the handset must be
within reach. In a number of DECT Systems the handset must also go off-hook or must
be dialled to remove the subscription data at both sides.
If the DECT System is not able to remove the data within the time period specified in
this option, the subscription status goes from Black listed to Available and
subscription data is removed from the DECT System side only (not from the handset).
Wait XXX sec. between polling all enabled subscriptions
This is the interval time between connection set-ups, when the subscription status of an
extension is enabled.
By means of this option, the connection is set-up only for short periods to poll the
subscription status in the DECT System. The time that you specify here is the polling
interval time. In case you have a V-modem/DCMIP connection you can save money on
expensive telephone line connections because it controls the modem.
Although this option works for a TCP/IP connection, is it useless because it cannot
effect the Dial-Up adapter in Windows. (It cannot setup and breakdown modem
connections.) The Dial-Up adapter in Windows is used to set up or disconnect a TCP/IP
connection to the DECT System which must be done manually.
Setting up a connection automatically on specified time intervals does not need an
open DECT Manager User Interface. A running DECT Manager in the background
(DECT Icon in the Windows tray) is sufficient!
Note that if you change a timer setting, it will only be activated after the previous timer
setting has expired!
Wait XXX sec. between polling all blacklisted subscriptions
This is the interval time between connection set-ups, when a subscription is Black
listed.
By means of this option, the connection is set-up only for short periods to poll the
subscription status in the DECT System. The time that you specify here is the polling

License String
There are two types of licences that can be entered:
Handset Licence
This is the licence string that is used for the maximum number of handsets (users)
on the DECT System. The licence string consists of 16 hexadecimal digits. The
characters must be entered as lower casecharacters.
The licence string is related to the PARI (Primary Access Rights Identifier) and the
maximum number of users (handsets).
After you have entered the handset licence, click the Set Licence button to activate
it.
Multi-site handset Licence
This is the licence string that is used for the maximum number of Multi-sitehandsets
(users) on the DECT System. The licence string consists of 32 hexadecimal digits.
The characters must be entered as lower casecharacters.
The licence string is related to the SARI (Secondary Access Rights Identifier) and
the maximum number of Multi-site users.
After you have entered the Multi-site handset licence, click the Set Multi-site
Licence button to activate it.
Maximum number of users
The maximum number of users is determined by the licence string and the PARI or
SARI. You find this information on the licence agreement that you have got with the
DECT System. See also the description for the Licence String.
Set License
Click on the Set License button after entering the licence string and the maximumnumber of users.
Set Multi-site License
Click on the Set Multi-site License button after entering the licence string for Multi-site
licence and the maximum number of Multi-site users.

The meaning of the options is as follows:
Select Logging types
This type of logging is applicable for third line maintenance engineers only. Therefore
only turn these option on, when requested by the third line maintenance engineer.
If one or more of these options are turned on, the DECTTrace.dfl file is
generated with logging information. This file is stored in the following directory:
C:\ProgramFiles\Philips\diagnostics\dect-management\DECTTrace.dfl
Note that if you turn on one of these options, records will be written to the
DECTTrace.dfl file. This file is a cyclic file and the size is limited to 10 Mb. So, make
sure that you have sufficient hard disk space.

10.5. BOARD ADDRESSES TAB
The Board Addresses tab allows you to adapt the board addresses that are displayed in
the User Interface of the DECT Manager.
Default, the Board Addresses for a DECT System with a V-modem interface are the
following ranges:
- 0 7 for (eight) boards in the first shelf (BackBone section)
- 16 23 for (eight) boards in the second shelf (BackBone section)
- 32 39 for (eight) boards in the third shelf (BackBone section)
- 48 55 for (eight) boards in the fourth shelf (BackBone section)
Default, the Board Addresses for a DECT System with a TCP/IP interface are the following
ranges:
- 1 8 for (eight) boards in the first shelf (BackBone section)
- 9 16 for (eight) boards in the second shelf (BackBone section)
- 17 24 for (eight) boards in the third shelf (BackBone section)
- 25 32 for (eight) boards in the fourth shelf (BackBone section)
However, these addresses are defined by the internal DECT System configuration. If you
want to use your own addressing structure, then you can convert these DECT System
addresses into address range(s) that you want. This Board Addresses tab allows you to
create a conversion table, to convert the internal addresses into physical addresses of your
choice.
The address conversion is used only in the DECT Manager User Interface. It is not
uploaded to the DECT System.
It is possible to enter the conversion table contents in two different ways:
Manually
Enter the conversions in table that is displayed. Then click OK.
By means of a file.
You can prepare a file with a conversion table. This file must be have the file extension
.brd. Use the Load button to start loading the file. See the description of the load
button in this section.

The Board Addresses tab has the following contents
Here you can enter information to set up a table that translates the alternative boardaddresses/numbers into conventional ISPBX addresses.
LoadThe Load button allows you to load the conversion table from a predefined file
(*.brd) into the Database of the DECT Manager. If you click the Load button, you
can select a file, from which you want to load address conversion data.Appendix D gives a description of the file contents.
SaveClick the Save button to save the information to disk. The *.brd is the default fileextension.
DefaultIf you click the Default button, the adddress conversion will be one-to-one, whichmeans that the software addresses are exactly the same as the physical addresses.

11. COPY & MOVE SUBSCRIPTION
Note: Copy & Move Subscription is only available for TCP/IP systems!!!
11.1. WHAT IS IT?
Pre-subscribeThe Pre-subscribe function allows you to make subscriptions on a host DECT System,
and then export the subscription data together with the subscribed handsets to the
destination DECT System.
The subscription data is exported in a file and can be imported into the DCC in the
destination DECT System (by means o
