Handset Maintenance

This section describes the recommended procedures for installing and configuring handsets.
There are several ways to install a handset but the procedures described here guarantees
simple maintenance of the system.
The Device manager in the Unite module is the recommended method for installing,
upgrading, configuring and managing handsets in a large system because it allows large
numbers of handsets to be maintained simultaneously. Another benefit is that the recall
and collection of handsets from users is not required. The handsets can be maintained while
placed in network connected DC4 desktop chargers on users desks. Network connected CR3
charging racks can also be used, or over the air for IP-DECT.
The PDM is suitable for smaller systems where a handset is managed by inserting it in a DC4
Desktop Charger or CR3 charging rack connected via USB to a system administrator
computer.
For PDM, see its Installation and Operation Manual.
3.1

Preparing the PDM or Device Manager

If the parameter definition file (.def) for the handset is not present in the PDM or Device
Manager, it can be added by following the procedure below. The parameter definition file
and software file (.bin) 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 Device Manager.
2 In the File menu, select Import > Packages.
3 Select the package and click "OK".
The package is imported and the files are created.
File extensions are further explained in an appendix in the corresponding Installation and
Operation Manual for PDM/the Unite module.
3.2

Installing a New Handset

The installation basically contains three steps:
• Subscription to the IP-DECT system – needed to be able to make calls and send messages
(Mandatory).
• Create an identity for the handset in the PDM/Device Manager – needed to be able to
configure the behaviour of the handset and take backups of the handset configuration
(Recommended).
• Configure the handset using PDM/Device Manager – 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.
