Installation

Refer to the installation instructions for base station and handset.

• DECT – Base Installation
• DECT – Handset Installation

Note that handsets need to have the plastic cover removed from the battery compartment and fully charged before use.

Connect to the Network

The DECT base stations will need to be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch and a network that provides DHCP.

Access the System

To access the Web Configuration Interface of the system, there are two methods:

Method 1 – IP address

• Start with the handset in IDLE mode
• Press the Menu key
• Type *47*
• The handset will now enter scanning mode to find the nearest base stations. As soon as a base is found, the handset will display the MAC address of the base, together with its IP address.
• From a browser, type in the IP address of the base station.
  http://<IP address of base station>

Method 2 – MAC address

• This method requires an available DNS server.
• From a browser, type ipdect followed by the MAC address of the base station.
  http://ipdect<mac address of base station> 

The default login username is admin and password is emetr0tel.
