Introduction

The N870(E), N770 and N670 have only one hardware, the role determines its functionality.

When you connect a N870(E)/N770 to the Power, it will start by default as a "base station". A N670 will start by default as an "All-in-One". You can change the role of the device using the procedure described on this page.

    During the planning phase of your DECT network you should have created an installation plan for the DECT managers and base stations.
  2. Connect the devices to the local network.
  3. Register at least one device as Integrator/DECT manager.
  4. Mount the devices at the planned locations.
  5. Configure the local network settings via web configurator.

  7. Register the base stations to the telephone system.
  8. Configure the base station synchronization.
