Introduction

An Gigaset repeater can be used with the N610, repeater support is done in 2 steps. For now, in step 1 the repeater is supported in transparent mode. 

Repeater functionality:

  • Up to 6 repeaters in star arrangement
  • Connection is unencrypted
  • 2 narrowband calls in extended DECT range
  • Activation via provisioning

Step 1, transparent mode:

  • DECT Connection is unencrypted
  • Activation via provisioning

Step 2, upcoming: 

  • Register repeater using existing known repeater registration procedure
  • Web-interface setting
  • encrypted connection

N670 and N870 do not support repeaters, for the N670/N870 (mini) multi-cell is available. 

Auto-provisioning

(warning) DO NOT apply following provisioning file to any N670/N870/N870E.

Following provisioning file does apply RPN=1 to all base stations of a single cell system, so to the one and only local base.

Wildcard provisioning does not automatically synchronize settings for all 'ConfirmedBaseStations'!

Reboot is needed after successful provisioning to get this synchronized.

How to check in Web-UI and with handset MMI?

DECT Settings → DECT Encryption, early Encryption and re-keying is disabled to support transparent repeater operation.

Telephony → Audio → Wideband Support must stay decativated to support transparent repeater operation:


With handset you could check the RPN in the RFP-Scan procedure


If repeater support is deactivated RPN ends with '0' or '8'.

If repeater support is activated RPN ends with '1' or '9'.

Repeater might show up in RFP-scanning with RPN ending with '2..7' or 'a..f'.


PARI of Class A needed

Several handset implemented rules ( sometimes just tuning, sometimes hard requirements ),
need DECT PARI of class A ( starting with '0' ), to best interop with repeaters, expecially of the rather old generation.

Some very early samples were equipped with PARI of class B starting with '1'.

Please return such sample back to headquarter for replacement by correct sample.
