TracPhone IP handset and cradle
IP handset
The IP handset communicates using Internet Protocols
(IP). The handset is not strictly dedicated to the
TracPhone FB150 system, but can also be used in a public
network as a standard IP telephone.
The IP handset is powered directly from the LAN
interface using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
When the IP handset is used with the terminal, it communicates using IP between
the handset and the terminal. However, on the BGAN network side of the terminal,
calls are transmitted as circuit-switched calls.
BGAN Network
When connected to the terminal the IP handset provides a
dedicated BGAN menu with a subset of the terminal
configuration options.
For more information on the functions of the IP handset, refer
to the user manual for the IP handset.
IP cradle
The IP cradle serves as a holder for the IP handset.
The cradle connects to the coil cord from the handset and, using an Ethernet cable, to
the terminal. You can mount the cradle on a wall or a desktop.
