Deployment of DECT 6800 on Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM)
The Cisco IP DECT 6800 Series uses Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), a wireless technology. DECT operates at or near the 1.9 GHz frequency and does not interfere with other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth (operates at 2.5 GHz or 5 GHz). The Cisco IP DECT 6800 base station converts IP to DECT. The CUCM has no knowledge of the DECT operations. From the CUCM perspective, the DECT handsets appear as VoIP endpoints.
Note |
You must configure DECT base station for TCP. You must not use base station MAC address when you add the DECT to the CUCM. Each Cisco IP DECT Phone 6825 is a separate Third-party SIP device (advanced) on CUCM. For example, if you have 100 6825 handsets, then you will need 100 Third-Party SIP Device (Advanced) devices in CUCM. |
Currently, few basic features such as make a call, answer a call, hold, transfer a call, conference are supported.
