Installation of Handsets

This section describes the recommended procedure for installing and configuring handsets.
There are several ways to install a handset but the procedures described here guarantees simple
maintenance of the system.
It is recommended to use the WSM3 to install and maintain handsets in a large system. The
reason is that it enables to install, upgrade and configure a large amount of handsets
simultaneously. Another benefit is that the collection of the handsets from the user is not
needed. They can be maintained while placed in network connected Advanced Desktop
Chargers on the users desks. Network connected Charging Racks can also be used, or over the
air in the case of IP-DECT.
The PDM enables administration of handsets inserted in a 5603/5604/5607 Programmer or
5603/5604/5607/5624 Rack Charger connected via USB to the administrator's computer.

Preparing PDM or WSM3 for handling of the Handset

If the parameter definition file (.def file) for the handset is not present in the PDM Windows
Version or WSM3, it can be added by following the procedure below. The parameter definition
file and software files are delivered as a package file with the extension '.pkg'. Note that
template files (.tpl) may also be included in a package file.
1 Open the PDM or the WSM3.
2 In the File menu, select Import > Packages.
3 Select the package and click "OK".
The package will imported and the files will be created; one definition file with the extension
.def and one software file with the extension .bin. Template files may also be created.
File extensions are further explained in an appendix in Portable Device Manager (PDM),
Windows Version Installation and Operation Manual.

Installation of a new Handset

The installation basically contains three steps:
• Subscription towards the IP-DECT system – needed to be able to make calls and send
messages (Mandatory).
• Create an identity for the handset in the PDM/WSM3 – needed to be able to configure the
behaviour of the handset and take backups of the handset configuration (Recommended).
• Configure the handset using PDM/WSM3 – customize the behaviour of the handset to suite
each user profile and the specific PBX used in the system (Recommended).
How to install the handset depends on the system to be used. Before starting, check which
chapter that suits best.
