IP Handset and cradle
IP Handset
The IP Handset communicates using Internet Protocols (IP). The
handset is not strictly dedicated to the EXPLORER 727 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 may be transmitted
as either circuit-switched or VoIP 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.
