12.3.1.5 Activating DECT system
To activate the new DECT system and put all assigned DECT devices into operation, you must configure a base station.
* 
You only need to configure the base station that you want to use as the master. The other base stations assigned to the DECT system are automatically detected.
 
* 
A factory reset must be performed on the base station that you want to configure as master, see Perform factory reset.
 
* 
The master base station receives the AirSync role.
Therefore, place the base station centrally and within range of all other base stations in the DECT system.
 
Requirements:
*All DECT base stations are connected to your LAN and switched on. The master base station has firmware 11.4.4 or higher with a factory reset, see Prepare hardware.
*DECT system objects (also base stations and handsets) have been created, see Create DECT system
*Have the following data ready:
- MAC address of the base station,
- Activation key,
- Provisioning-URL.
You can find this data in Swyx Control Center at Devices | DECT | DECT Base Stations | Edit DECT Base Station (). You have to activate the checkbox Show configuration info check box.
Click to copy the corresponding data to the clipboard.
* 
To open the administration web interface within the local network, you can also use the following line in the browser instead of the IP address of the base station: https://<Base station model>-<last three bytes of the MAC address>.

e.g. http://ipbs3-28-07-bb

The corresponding data can be found on the white label on the bottom of the base station.
 
* 
If you cannot open the configuration wizard, perform a factory reset, see Perform factory reset
 
To configure the master base station 
1 Enter 'https://<IP address of the master base station>' in the address line of your browser to open the administration web interface of the device.
*The login dialog appears.
2 Enter the default name "admin" and the default password "changeme".
3 Click on Login and subsequently auf OK.
*The Ascom configuration wizard appears.
4 Select as Setup Type the Device Management Server (DMS):
5 Click on Next.
6 Upload a TLS root certificate if necessary.
This step is only necessary if you have enabled TLS configuration via SCST, see https://help.enreach.com/cpe/13.30/Administration/Swyx/en-US/#context/help/SCST.
7 Enter under URL enter the provisioning URL.
8 Enter under Username enter the MAC address of the base station with ":" or without separator.
e.g. a1:c2:e3:f4:11:12
9 Enter the password under Password and Confirm Password enter the activation key.
10 Click on Next.
11 Check your information.
12 Click on Finish.
*The base station is restarted. The LED on the base station first flashes red, then blue. At the end of the successful activation (can take up to two minutes), the LED will turn solid blue.
It can take up to five minutes before other base stations are activated. The base stations operating in a subnet must configure them manually, see Configure subnet base stations (optional).
