5 Handset Configuration
2In the Phone mode drop-down list, select one of the following:
• Personal - Select if the handset is intended to be used
by one user only.
• Shared - Select if the handset is intended to be shared between several users.
Each
user can log on the handset to obtain their personal extension number.
NOTE: Always use the Phone mode parameter to enable or disable Shared Phone. There is a
Shared phone license parameter in System
s > Common > Shared Phone. Changing
this parameter in PDM/Device Manager does not change the setting in the handset.
The Shared phone license parameter is restored to its original value in PDM/Device
Manager when PDM/Device Manager and the handset are synchronized.
NOTE: When registering a
handset for the first time in the PDM/Device Manager, the Number
(User ID) is equal to the handset’s extension number. If another user logs on the same
handset, the Number is unchanged. It is recommended to rename Number to, for
example, Shared X (where X is a number) to prevent number conflict if assigning
several shared phone handsets the same extension when subscribing to the IP-DECT
system. Renaming the handset in PDM/Device Manager also makes it easier to find
and administrate the handset in PDM/Device Manager.
See also the handset’s User Manual for in
for
mation on how to log on a handset.
TIP: A handset can log off when placed in a charger, see 5.15.2 In Charger Action when in Call
on page 30.
5.44.1 Shared Phone Takeover
A user is prompted to enter a User code when logging on to a system. The user code is the
ha
ndset extension number. An additional level of authorization may be enforced by an
Authorization Code, which is a parameter that may be set when a handset is first registered
with an IP-DECT master. If the parameter is set, the handset user must enter the
authorization code as a Password in addition to the User code when logging on to the
system. The authorization code is uniquely associated with the handset extension number.
A user who has a shared phone configured with an authorization code and who is logged on
to the system can have his or her handset taken over by a second user, even if the first user
has not logged off from the system. The user initiating the takeover must, however, know
the first user's extension and the authorization code for the takeover to be possible. The
second user logs on from his or her handset using the first users extension number and
authorization code. If the login is successful, the profile, name, system ID and extension
number of the first user is displayed on the second users handset.The first user may receive
an audible warning if such a takeover occurs, but this depends on the configuration of the
handset.
NOTE: Author
izati
on codes should be carefully guarded to prevent careless and
unauthorized takeovers that can render the shared phone unusable for a user who has had
his or her handset taken over.
5.45 Push-to-Talk (PTT) Group Call
NOTE: Messaging group(s) must be defined in the Unite module. See corresponding
Installation and Operation Manual.
To be able to call a PTT group, its properties must also be set. Using the PDM/Device
Manager and the "Edit template" feature, and select Push to Talk > PTT X (where X
represents the groups 1 to 10).
