1.20.1 Portable Station (PS) Connection

Description
A Panasonic KX-TD7680 or KX-TD7690 portable station (PS) can be used in place of a
proprietary telephone (PT), providing wireless access to PBX features and call handling.
1.
Registration
Before a PS can be used, it must be registered with the PBX through system programming
( PS Registration [690]) and assigned an extension number.
Because a PS transmits radio waves, it is possible that a PS belonging to a neighboring
PBX can be registered to your PBX. To prevent this sort of unauthorized registration, a
personal identification number (PIN) can be programmed for this PBX that must be
entered on the PS during registration. (
Registration [692]). This PIN, if programmed, is only used during the PS registration
process.
Each PS can be registered to more than one PBX if necessary, and registration can be
canceled if a PS will no longer be used with one of these PBXs. (
2.
Connection
There are two ways a PS can be used.
As an Extension
A PS is assigned its own extension number when it is registered to a PBX. The PS can
use this extension number to make and receive calls, just as a wired telephone can. A PS
can be a member of an incoming call distribution (ICD) group, can be assigned as the
destination for redirected calls, etc., just as a wired telephone can.
A PS can also be a member of a PS ring group (
group is a way for several PSs to be notified of an incoming call simultaneously, but does
not offer all of the features provided by an ICD group. (
(ICD) Group Features)
In Wireless XDP Parallel Mode
A PS can share an extension number with a wired telephone, allowing extension users to
use their PSs when they are away from their desks to answer or make calls as if they were
using their wired telephones. (
3.
PS Interaction with CS
Each PS communicates with the PBX wirelessly through a cell station (CS). Each CS is
connected to the PBX and sends and receives radio waves to and from different PSs within
its range, using different channels for different PSs. Each CS has two channels, i.e., up to
two calls (conversations) can be handled simultaneously by one CS.
A PS must be within range of a CS in order to be used, however, multiple CSs can be used
with the same PBX to offer a greater area of wireless coverage. Additionally, a PS does
not need to be used with a specific CS; any PS can communicate with any CS provided
the PS is registered to the PBX, and provided the CS has at least one channel available.
