RFPI
Radio Fixed Part Identity

and the DECT network to which it belongs.
Roaming
Possibility for a subscriber with a DECT handset to accept or make calls in all cells of a
DECT network.
RPN

RSSI
Received Signal Strength Indication
Indicator for the reception field strength of radio signals.
On the measuring handsets of the Gigaset N720 SPK PRO, RSSI is specified as a percent-
age value. In this case, the maximum assumed signal strength is defined as 100%.
The percentage value represents the signal strength of the package received as a ratio of
the maximum possible RSSI (100%).
Slot pair
A slot pair (0–11) identifies the time slots within a time frame (£Frame) that the base sta-
tion and handset use for their connection. Of the 24 time slots (slot 0–23) of a frame, the
first 12 are for the downlink and the second 12 for the uplink. The time slot from the first
half (0–11) and the second half (12–23) form a slot pair.
Slot pair four means, for example: the base station sends in time slot four, the handset in
time slot 16 (four + 12).
