KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance
2. Capacities and Specifications
2.1 Overview
A KIRK Wireless Solution, based on the KWS1500, is an adjunct solution for medium-to-
large businesses with a need from anywhere between 1 and 128 handset users. The KIRK
Expansion Board and the KIRK Link Card make it possible to expand the solution
capacity to reach registration of up to 128 and 700 wireless users depending on the
interface technology. The KWS1500 is deployed behind a new or existing host PBX
telephone switch through analog station port connections provided by the host PBX.
A KIRK Wireless Solution consists of a KWS1500 operating in the Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) frequency band of 1.8GHz or 1.9GHz, and
supports up to 16 KIRK Base Stations to deliver radio coverage for up to 64 KIRK
Handsets.
To eliminate “blind spots” or to cover low traffic areas, KIRK Repeaters can be added to
extend the radio coverage area of Base Stations. Up to six Repeaters can be connected per
host Base Station (96 Repeaters total).
KIRK Base Stations
The Base Station is a compact device that contains radio frequency (RF) circuitry and
radio antennas. The main function of the Base Station is to provide communication of
audio and data signals between the mobile handsets and the KWS1500 Solution. Each
KIRK Base Station supports four simultaneous voice conversations.
Up to three Base Stations may be placed adjacent to one another without causing
channel interference. This provides the ability to support up to 12 simultaneous voice
conversations in a given area. A fourth Base Station must be placed a minimum of 23
meters / 75 feet from a group of three Base Stations to avoid channel interference.
KIRK Repeaters
Repeaters extend the radio coverage of KIRK Base Stations by up to 50 percent. KIRK
Repeaters do not require cabling to the KIRK Wireless Server or the host Base Station.
Repeaters require local power and are synchronized to the host Base Station wirelessly.
A KIRK Repeater may only be synchronized to a single Base Station.
Handsets
The KIRK Handset is a lightweight, ergonomically designed wireless unit that includes a
LCD display and keypad. The handset is compatible with the DECT Generic Access
Profile (GAP) standard.
2.2 Identification Numbers
KIRK ARI number
The KIRK Access Rights Identity (ARI) number is an 11-digit number that specifically
identifies the KIRK Solution. Each KWS1500 cabinet produces a unique ARI number that
identifies it from any other KWS1500. The ARI number can be found on the back panel of
the KWS1500 cabinet.
