Introduction:
The RTX4027 repeater user guide is designed to give a detailed overview on how to install, register and manage RTX repeaters 1.1. Document History REVISION 1.0 1.1 AUTHOR HDJ JSK ISSUE DATE 26-06-2019 20-09-2019 COMMENTS Add FCC and IC Regulatory information 1.2. What is new What new features have been added. VERSION V460 FEATURE Installation 1.3. Main topics Recommended external DC adapters Manual registration Firmware update LED indications Locate automatic registration 2. Installation of Repeater After planning the network, next is to determine the proper places or location the repeater. The repeater should be mounted as high as possible (2 meters or higher). 2.1. Package Contents/Damage Inspection Before Package Is Opened:
Examine the shipping package for evidence of physical damage or mishandling prior to opening. If there is a proof of mishandling prior to opening, you must report it to the relevant support center of the regional representative or operator. Contents of Package:
Make sure all relevant components are available in the package before proceeding to the next step. Every shipped repeater package/box contains the following items:
1 x Power supply 1 x Repeater 1 x Table stand 1 x Safetysheet 2.2. Damage Inspection The following are the recommended procedure for you to use for inspection:
1. Examine all relevant components for damage. 2. Make a defective on arrival DOA report or RMA to the operator. Do not move the shipping carton until the operator has examined it. If possible, send pictures of the damage. The operator/regional representative will initiate the necessary procedure to process this RMA. They will guide the network administrator on how to return the damaged package if necessary. 3. If no damage is found, then unwrap all the components and dispose of empty package/carton(s) in accordance with country specific environmental regulations. 2.3. RTX Base Station Mechanics The repeaters front end shows an LED indicator that signals different functional states of the repeater. The indicator is off when the repeater is not powered on. Reset Button LED Indicator DC Power Connector 2.4. Mounting the repeater There are 2 way to mount the repeater. 1: Use the table stand that is in the box 2: Wall mount the repeater using the screws and anchors Screws and Anchors needed (Not supplied by RTX) 2x Screws = Screw wall mount M3.5x31 2x Anchors: Length 29,6mm, OD 6,0mm, ID 4,8mm NOTE: The repeater should be mounted on a wall not higher than 2 meters 3.

Repeater registration There are 2 different ways to register RTX repeaters Local Automatic and Manually Local Automatic:
In this mode the repeater registers to the base station with best signal strength, this option is only recommended for single cell systems and Multi cell systems where the repeater is only able to sync with one specific base station. Manually:
Manual registration is used in most cases when adding repeaters to a multi cell system. Manual registration allows to determine what base stations the repeater must connect to. 4.1. Register repeater(s) Local Automatic NOTE: Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption. Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page. Screen shot Step 2: Click Add Repeater and select Local Automatic from the dropdown Screen shot Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press save Step 4: Power on the repeater(s) and registration will start. When the LED is steady green the repeater is successfully registered. Screen shot PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION IDX RPN System counter SINGLE CELL SYSTEM:
The base has always RPN00, first repeater will then be RPN01, second repeater RPN02 and third RPN03 (3 repeaters maximum per base) MULTI CELL SYSTEM:
Bases are increment by 2^2 in hex, means first base RPN00 second base RPN04 etc., in between RPN01, 02, 03 addressed for repeaters at Primary base and 05, 06, 07 addressed for Secondary base (3 repeaters maximum per base) NAME/IPIE Name and IPIE number of the repeater DECT SYNC MODE DECT Sync mode Manually or Automatic STATE State of the repeater Enabled/Disabled FW INFO Firmware version FWU PROGRESS How many percentages of the firmware is loaded / Off if no firmware is being loaded 4.2. Register repeater(s) Manually NOTE: Do not power on the repeaters before they have been added on the base station NOTE: When adding first repeater the base station(s) will reboot, this is because encryption is being enabled, the same goes if all repeaters is deleted, then the system will reboot to disable encryption. Step 1: To register repeater(s), navigate to the Repeater page. Screen shot Step 2: Click Add Repeater and select Manually from the dropdown Screen shot Step 3: Give the repeater a name and press save Step 4: select what base station the repeater needs to register to DECT sync source drop down In this case there are three base stations in the multicell (RPN00, RPN04 and RPN08) and three repeaters can be connected to each base station. Select the base station the repeater needs to register to. E.g. RPN04 Screen shot Step 5: Select the RPN for the repeater. ERROR: The repeater will choose the first available slot on the selected base station. RPN x: The repeater connects to RPN x of the chosen base station. E.g. Base station RPN04 + RPN1 repeater, then the repeater connects to RPN5 Screen shot 5. Firmware update:
The repeaters are updated over air. Step 1: Navigate to Firmware Update page Step 2: Enter Firmware Update server address, Firmware path and DECT402x firmware version Screen shot PARAMETER DEFAULT VALUE(S) DESCRIPTION FIRMWARE UPDATE SERVER ADDRESS Empty IP address or DNS of firmware update files source Valid Inputs: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD or <URL>
