The document outlines the key features and considerations of the Snom M700 DECT multi-cell system, highlighting coverage distances (100m indoors, 300m outdoors) and the capability to support up to 30 SIP registrations and 8 concurrent calls per base station. It provides guidance on assessing base station placement for optimal coverage and redundancy, as well as best practices for managing heavy call usage and avoiding common mistakes during installation. Configuration details and the importance of base station synchronization are also discussed.

Base station calculation
How many BS do you need for 91 handsets?
• SIP Registrations: 91/30 = 3 x 30 + 1 x 30 –> 4 Bases
• Best practices for heavy call usage: 8 per Base –> 11

8. DECT assessment @ location

9. Assessment
• Base with local power
• Handset in assesment
mode

10. Assessment Goals
• Redundancy per Base
• Coverage approx. -70dB to be safe
• Floor to floor , building to building connections
• Full air coverage auto-DECT tree

11. Assessment Do‘s
• Handset / Menu, *IP* (*47*)
• Select your base station
• 2x Call button for audio loop-back with your base
• Look for good reception to two other bases
• Direct hall-way coverage (tends to be very far and safe)
• floor to floor
• Very near Fire safety door / behind elevator / open space backyard

12. Assessment Dont‘s
• Guess-work base placement – always assess!
• Non redundancy radio coverage -80dB
• Direct path base station over the air DECT tree
• Human bodies coverage reduction
• Underestimate concurrent call areas
• Multi primary where not necessary

16. • The master base stations MUST NOT „see each other“ over
