2DCN design

2.1Introduction

The DCN Wireless has three parts: the wireless network, the DCN and the optical network. This chapter tells how to design the DCN.

2.2Calculation tool

The calculation tool makes the planning and design of the DCN easier. You can find the calculation tool on the CD-ROM that is supplied with your system.

2.3Concepts

2.3.1Introduction

This section gives necessary data to understand the limitations in section 2.4.

2.3.2Trunk and tap-off sockets

The DCN uses two types of socket:

DCN trunk sockets

Use the DCN trunk sockets to make a loop-through in the trunk of the DCN.

DCN tap-off sockets

Use the DCN tap-off sockets to make more branches in the DCN. A DCN tap-off socket always regenerates the digital DCN signal.

2.3.3Cables

Many devices used in the DCN have a 2 m cable. If necessary the extension cable (LBB4116) can extend the device cables.

2.4Limits

Make sure that these limits are not exceeded when you design the DCN:

Limit 1: Control capacity

The maximum number of active devices that the central control unit can control is 95:

Max. 93x DCN-IDESK

Max. 2x DCN-DDI:

1x with intercom handset

1x with ambient microphone

The number of passive devices is without limit (refer to section 2.5).

Limit 2: Power capacity

The maximum power that one DCN socket of the central control unit can supply is 65 W.

The total power that the DCN sockets of the central control unit can supply is 130 W.

The maximum power that one DCN socket of the extension power supply can supply is 85 W

The total power that the DCN sockets of the extension power supply can supply is 255 W.

Refer to section 2.6.

Limit 3: Loop-throughs

The maximum number of loop-throughs in succession is

50.If there are more than 50 loop-throughs, the signal must be regenerated with a trunk splitter (LBB4114/00).

Limit 4: Tap-off connections

The maximum number of tap-off connections in succession between the central control unit and the last tap-off in a branch is four. If there are more than four tap-off connections in succession, the system does not operate correctly.
