2.1.3 KIRK Repeater
The KIRK Repeater can be used to extend the coverage area in a KIRK solution. The wireless
KIRK Repeater is used in areas with limited voice traffic, where cabling is difficult.
The KIRK
Repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, but increases the coverage area
established with the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3. Up to three KIRK Repeaters can be placed in
cascade formation directing coverage in a certain direction.
The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 can support up to 6 KIRK Repeaters in a single-cell solution and
up to 256 radio units (a mix of primary and secondary KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK
Repeaters) in a multi-cell solution.
For more information about the KIRK Repeater, refer to “KIRK Repeater Installation” on page 47.
2.1.4 KIRK Handset
The KIRK Handset is a lightweight, ergonomically designed wireless unit that includes an LCD
display and keypad.
The KIRK Handset is a portable unit compatible with DECT GAP standard.
The KIRK Handset is designed to provide the subscriber with most of the features available for a
wired phone, in addition to its roaming and handover capabilities.
The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 supports up to 35 registered handsets in a single-cell solution
and up to 1500 registered handsets in a multi-cell solution.
For more information about the KIRK Handset, refer to “Preparing KIRK Handset for Use” on
page 63, “KIRK Handset Registration and Subscription” on page 155 and “KIRK Handset
Management” on page 165.
2.1.4.1 Auto Login and Handover
Auto login refers to the ability to log on to more than one system, enabling you to use the same
handset on up to 10 different systems. If a handset is subscribed to two or more systems, you can
use Auto Login type A or Auto Login type B to change between the systems automatically.
Handover refers to the ability to move between the coverage areas of different radio units (mix of
primary and secondary KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters) on the same system
while talking, without interruptions in the conversation.
2.1.5 KIRK SIO Application Interface
The KIRK SIO Application Interface is a communicational platform allowing text messaging
between the KIRK Wireless Server and a KIRK Handset. With the KIRK SIO API, which is a
fundamental part of all KIRK solutions, and a third party application program, the customer is
offered a wide range of usage opportunities in a variety of vertical markets.
