• Awesome Range– Much further range than any other cordless phone. Where other

systems need several AP’s, our system needs just one.

• Great Durability– Drop tested from 6 feet on to a concrete floor 54 times.

• Flexibility – Works behind any phone system.– More than just a telephone. It also has Intercom and broadcast

(like 2-way radio but with a choice to page one, some, or all as well).

• Power is approximately 700mW (28.5dbm) for both handset and base at 900MHz.

• Base station standard antenna is a 2dbi dipole (30.5dbm total) and optional external antenna is 6dbi (approx. 34dbm ERP)

• The handset stubby antenna is 0.5dbi (29dbm total) and 2dbi for the long antenna (31.5dbm total).

• Leading competitor phones operating in unlicensed bands have output power below 300mW and are not typically at 900MHz which means they require multiple AP’s for similar range.

• With the option of using the external antenna we gain additional coverage

How we get such amazing range

6

• EnGenius phones have a digital FHSS RF signal at 902-928MHz across 128 different channels hopping at a rate of 100 channels per second = extremely secure.

• FHSS is less susceptible to multipath signal problems compared to analog (single frequency) or DSSS devices

• The PRO uses TDMA technology to carry 4 concurrent calls using just 1 RF signal (just one antenna from the base).

DuraFon Technical Aspects

7

Why 900MHz?

• Using the unlicensed 900MHz ISM band our product does not require an FCC license to use or install

• There are 4 main available frequencies for cordless phone use. 900MHz, 1.9GHz (DECT), 2.4GHz, and 5GHz. Lower Frequencies carry further and are less absorbed by objects such as drywall, trees, wood, or even open air (free space path loss) than higher frequencies

• Will not cause or receive interference with other devices using these other frequencies. Devices such as WiFi can be right near our device without interference

• No channel reuse issues, sharing of bandwidth, QOS, or security concerns as with VoWiFi phones

1-Line or 4-Line (1x or PRO)?

• It is recommended that if two or more lines are used, consider PRO.

– Cost - Three 1X systems cost similar to a PRO with 3 handsets. Also, if an external antenna is used, only one antenna will be needed for the PRO.

– Separation of base stations - Antennas require >30 feet separation. A PRO using 4 lines still only produces 1 RF signal, versus 4 signals from 4 1x bases. PRO has sync capability while the 1X does not.

– Wiring - One power supply versus several, different (>30 feet) locations. A single cat 3 or 5 cable (4 pairs) can be run for the 4-line ports.

– 2 way & broadcasting - The PRO allows all users to be able to broadcast or 2 way between each other.

– Expandability - 4-port PRO allows for easy expandability. The PRO can support up to 8 base units (32 line ports).

1x or PRO?

DuraFon 1X (1-line)

• DuraFon 1X has two (2) RJ-11 jacks, but are in parallel to allow jumping to another phone or device such as an answering machine. Either port can be used.

• Extremely plug and play. Usually does not require any programming in almost all installations. Works like a single home cordless phone.

• Has an intercom to base feature. The base id is “10”. Admin phone id’s are 11 and 12.

• Additional bases can be added to give access to additional lines or multiple coverage zones. Features are limited however, compared to the 4 line PRO model (no second call notification etc.)

• A maximum of 4 bases can be registered in a single domain. Up to 9 handsets can be registered to one base station (11-19).

1x Specifics

11

DuraFon PRO (4-line)

• Each PRO base unit has 4-ports and the domain can be expanded up to 8 total base stations (id’s 00-07) with 32 total available ports.

• The handset limit is 90. The domain also supports up to 7 groups.

• Usually a single handset is dedicated to a single port

• Handsets can only register to a primary base (ID 00). ID’s start at 10 and go up to 99. Only ID 10 and 11 are Admin phones.

PBX Integration

14

Using DuraFon behind a PBX

• PBX digital ports will not work with an DuraFon system. An analog port is needed.

• These types of PBX ports are analog via an expansion card or may have a few built in, but sometimes the performance is not as good as a true analog line.

• Some cards support caller id but most legacy system do not. If you are not receiving caller id on an Engenius phone it is most likely that the analog port does not support it.

• Audio levels may need to adjusted on handsets. Dtmf tone recognition timing on occasion (rare) may need to be adjusted.

Using a PRO as a stand alone without a PBX

For a SOHO application the 4-line model can support a 4-line hunt group. Make sure to separate the phone jacks so each jack has it’s own line (A two-line, RJ-14 L1/L2, jack is not supported). Limitations are two concurrent calls per handset and there is no voicemail.

Special Features of the 1x and PRO

27

• By default line detection is off.

• When detection is off, regardless if there is dial tone or not, the base give the first available (on our system) line port to the handset.

• When detection is on, the base will “look” and only give access to a handset a line that has actual dial tone going to it.

• Turning line detection on (menu 9,1, base 00, 3, “on”) would only be used in a stand alone application where the actual telephone lines may be shared with another phone. This would avoid accidentally getting in another person’s phone call.

• The 1x has no line detection and therefore is effectively “off”.

PRO “Line Detection” Feature

28

• By default, if you press talk on a handset, it will give you the first available line port from port 1 to port 4 in that order or the last used line.

• Turning line selection on will allow the handset user to choose before dialing which of the 4 lines to dial out from (menu 5,8).

– Note, if a line port is already in use by another handset, for example port 2, then only 1,3,4 will be shown available.

– Line selection should not be used if you dedicate line ports to a specific handset. The reason is because only one specific port would be used by a handset, making this feature pointless. For this reason this feature is only used when our unit is behind a hunt group or stand alone application.

30

• Port 3 or 4 can be turned into a dedicated broadcast port.• Use only the primary base (id 00) of port 3 or 4 only.

• This will allow a desk phone user to do a broadcast out the back of the handsets by dialing into port 4.– When “on” after one ring, port 4 will auto answer (will no longer

ring handsets and should no longer be considered a usable port for a handset to use).

– A greeting will say “Please enter broadcast ID or wait to page all”.

– You can choose a specific handset id, a group number, or wait to page all handsets after the beep.

• Not available with the 1x model.

PRO “Broadcast through a port” Feature

31

• Looks for other nearby base stations or handsets and follows the same TX/RX timing to reduce interference.– Requires that the base stations are configured as “multi-base”.– By default this feature is off. – When on, adds approx. 0.5 second of delay to access dial tone

• Usually not necessary unless you are using three or more base stations in the same coverage area.

• Not necessary unless you see poor range or dropped calls/reacquiring, or system instability. Many times even when base stations are less than 30 feet apart, there are no issues.

• Not available with the 1x model.

• When 3 or more base stations are installed in one location we strongly recommend you work with an application engineer which we will be glad to provide this support.

PRO “Sync” Feature

32

• By default base select is off for the 1x and PRO.

• Would be used for to choose using an additional line (1x) or for extended range (either 1x or PRO).

– What this does is allow you to choose which base to use for outbound dialing.

• Our system always tries to connect to the last base used even if the signal is poor. This is a limitation so you will need to choose the correct base for outbound calls.

– For inbound calls, the stronger signal of the two bases wins to the handset, so base select is needed just for the concern of outbound base signal and choice.

1x and PRO “Base Select” Feature

33

Range Testing And Conducting A Site Survey

34

Range Testing

• Never assume full coverage. Do a range test.

– Before spending time permanently wiring the base station for power, phone lines, and external antenna, verify coverage first.

– With a 1X system, use the intercom from handset to base. This allows you to test range without the need of dial tone going to the base station.

– For PRO systems, usually two or more handsets will be used. Use the 2 way intercom between two handsets. Have one person where you wish to have the base, and test. Have them stay there while you walk around to confirm coverage.

• Use long antennas for both handsets to best emulate range of base to handset.

Range Testing & Site Surveying (Basic Range Test)

35

• It’s important to note that 2-way intercom and broadcast do not use the base station.

– This means range will be less because it isn’t using the ideal location of the base.

– Most obstructions are in the way along the horizontal plane, which can reduce range as much as 50% as compared to base to handset communications.

– If broadcast or 2 way intercom is going to be used, do a range test specifically for handset to handset communications.

– If range is not adequate, internal dialing with a PBX can be used instead of intercom (requires dedicated line ports to handsets) and for broadcast, a “through the base broadcast” can be used (port 4 can used as a dedicated broadcast port).

Range Testing (Specific To 2 Way Intercom & Broadcast)

Range Testing & Site Surveying (Advanced)

37

• Special handset with –dbm display- Allows for a real value that can be written down to see actual coverage

between base and handset.- -110dbm is the lowest (weakest) signal before loss of connection.- 30db margin or a -80dbm signal is suggested for a reliable link.- Reading is shown in 1dbm increments and refreshes 1 time per

second.

• The site survey handset and Wi-Spy is available on loan.– Ask for the “Site Survey Tool Kit”.

Range Testing & Site Surveying (Advanced)

38

Installation Considerations Using The External Antenna, LPK, &

Antenna Splitter

39

• Do position the base station antenna so the signal from handset to base requires the least amount of walls / obstructions to get to each other.

• Do not put the antenna less than 3 feet from other electronic devices so not to receive or cause interference. Even more distance may be required in some cases.

– Computer Monitors, Electric Motors, 220V / 440V lines – The PBX system– Fluorescent, or sodium vapor lights– Anything else known to produce EMF and electromagnetic interference.

• Do not put the antenna less than 3 feet from large metal objects to avoid changing the antenna’s radiation pattern.

• Use a small power back up (UPS) to power the EnGenius base station.– To protect the base station.– So if power is out, the system can still be used.

Initial Installation Do’s and Don’ts

40

• Part number: SN-ULTRA-AK10L/20L– The external antenna kit can increase range substantially in LOS (line of

sight) applications. Also can allow you keep the base unit in the phone room with the other phone equipment (PBX etc.)

– Ak10L consists of 10 meters (33feet) LMR-400 coax and one 6 dbi antenna while the AK20L kit is the same antenna but 20 meters of coax.

• Connectors are non-standard type.– The coax connectors are reverse thread (left hand), TNC type for the base side, and

reverse thread Type N for the antenna side. The FCC requires us to do this.– You cannot get these easily. If you break or damage a connector, contact us.

• Things to consider regarding the external antenna kit– The difference in db gain between the standard antenna that comes with the

base, and the external antenna (with all factors included like cable loss) is approximately +2-3db.

External Antenna Kit

41

- To avoid interference, the antennas need to be least 30’ apart. Multiple user applications should use the 4-port system to cut number of overall RF signals.

30 feet or more apart required

• Consists of one 3.3ft. (1m) piece of coax, and one splitter (Y) box, allows you to run 2 antennas with one base station.

• You cannot reverse this, i.e. use one external antenna for two base stations.

• You can choose to run the original antenna (the rubber duck style that came with the base) on one side of the Y, and an external antenna on the other or…

• Two external antenna kits, with a max separation of 66ft x 2, or 132 feet apart with base and splitter in the middle.

• Loss is about 5db when using the splitter. Use only where the obstruction reduces the coverage greatly.

Troubleshooting

48

• This occurs when there is no RF link at all to the base station.

– Make sure power is going to the base station that handset uses.

– Next would be to power cycle the base and handset.

– See if being very close to the base works.

– Next is to re-register the handset to the base. The handset or base may have lost the security key to allow handset access to the base station.

Troubleshooting “no connection” Prompt

49

• This is when the link between handset and base is lost.

• Make sure all antenna connects are secure.• New install or new problem?

– If more than one handset is used, compare the range with another to confirm a bad handset.

– If range had suddenly changed, the base or handset would be suspect, assuming the environment hasn’t changed.

• Consider doing a BER test with different handsets at the same distance.

• Check base station antenna location. If less than ideal, consider relocating it, or get an external antenna.

Troubleshooting “Reacquiring” & “Signal Faded” Prompts

50

• Make sure you are doing the procedure correctly (Press “REG” on the base unit until all lights illuminate, then press Menu 6, 1 within 10 seconds)

• If the first step isn’t working, do a power reset on both handset and base station and try again

• If a new phone, verify the model is the same (1X won’t work on a PRO).

• If you have more than one handset, verify the other handsets can utilize the base (to rule out the base as bad)

• Next would be to do a hard reset on base and handset, then a power reset on both, then try registering again.

• If still no success, request an Rma for repair.

Troubleshooting “No Lines Available” (PRO only)

PBX System

52

• If line detection is turned on, there is a chance our system may not be properly detecting an active if the line is not in normal specification range. – This means behind a PBX, have line detection off just in case.

• Another reason is if you have more handsets than you do lines, there is a chance they are all being used.

• Remember that this is different than a “no connection” prompt, in that here you are still linking to the base unit, but the base is telling the handset it has no lines for it to use.

• If line dedication is used, make sure that the handset ID has a line dedicated to it.

Troubleshooting “No Lines Available” Prompt (PRO only)

53

• A secret menu option can be used to turn up or down the default audio levels of both the earpiece or microphone on a handset.

• Adjusting the earpiece.– Press menu, star, star, pound, and choose “vol. adjust”.

• This will allow you change the earpiece volume from default 0db, to +4, +8, -4, or -8. Turn this up if the user needs the volume louder.

– *Turning it up too high may result in echoing.

– Secondary location to adjust earpiece audio can be accessed by pressing menu star, star, pound. Then press 2 for “boardtest”.

– Boardtest number 41 is audio out (or earpiece). 0 is loudest, 9 is lowest (db down from maximum).

• Adjusting the microphone sensitivity.– Boardtest number 51 is audio in (or microphone). 0 is most sensitive, and

9 is least sensitive (9 db down from maximum).

• Note, the volume for the back speaker used for ringing or broadcasting cannot be changed.

Low Volume or need to adjust microphone sensitivity

54

• Bad line, bad line port on base, or bad handset?

– First verify indeed the line is good with another phone at the exact connection that was going to the Engenius base port.

– Do a simple power reset of the base and handset.

– If good, try a different line port (PRO).• Note if handsets are line dedicated you might need to use a different

handset.

– Try a handset to handset intercom call to see if audio is heard at the handset (to verify speaker is ok). For 1x, do an intercom to base call.

Troubleshooting no dial tone

55

• First try dropping the handset into the charging cradle. The battery may be completely dead. It should turn on automatically and begin charging.

– Check to see if there are any stuck keypad buttons. Having a stuck keypad button will not allow a handset to turn on normally.

• If still not turning on remove the battery and charge it in the back slot of the charger. If a battery is too dead, the handset won’t charge it or turn on. Let it charge until the back LED light on the cradle goes from orange to green. If it is green from the start, the battery is bad.

• BER (Bit Error Rate) can be a tool for troubleshooting.– To get to the BER screen, press Menu, star, pound, pound, star, then “00” for base

(PRO) (“10” for 1x), and then press 1.– This test can measures how many bits are lost.

• Within 50 ft. or less from the base with no obstructions bit loss should be zero.• If it reads abnormally high, there may be a problem with either the handset or base.

If you have more than one handset, try the other to see where the problem follows to find the bad unit.

• Other more rare causes could be very close in signal strength interference or multipath interference.

– Bit error rate will range from 0 to 16,000. The number on the right (3 digits) range from 0 to 160. Above 160 or *****/*** means a poor or lost connection.

– Do not use this for range testing.
