Add An Additional Base Station To Make A Dualcell Network (Workflow) - Cisco 6800 Series Administration Manual

Share a Line Between Handsets
Share a Line Between Handsets
You can set up a line to be available on two or more handsets.
On the handset, the shared line displays in the line list when the user makes a call. The user also sees an icon
immediately below the handset header row. The icon displays the status of the shared line.
Procedure
Step 1
Add the same extension to each handset. See
For example:
• Configure the extension to Terminal Idx 1 and register it.
• Configure the extension to Terminal Idx 2 and register it.
Step 2 In the Extensions page, click the handset link (IPEI number) for the first handset that will share the extension.
Step 3
In the Shared Call Appearance Settings, set the Idx to the extension to be shared.
Step 4 Click Save.
Step 5
Repeat steps 2-4 for the second handset to share the number.
Add an Additional Base Station to Make a Dualcell Network
(Workflow)
If you have a 110 Single-Cell Base Station, you can add another 110 Single-Cell Base Station to the network
if some handsets have connection problems. For example, the handset may be too far from the base station,
or the base station may be too busy. When you set up two base stations, you have a dualcell system, which
improves the coverage. You can also add repeaters to enhance the radio coverage.
Two 110 Single-Cell Base Station base stations in the same network form the dualcell network automatically.
For information on setting up two 210 Multi-Cell Base Station, see
Multicell Network (Workflow), on page
Note
The 110 Single-Cell Base Station supports only single cell and dualcell configurations. The 210 Multi-Cell
Base Station supports single cell, dualcell, and multicell configurations.
Here are the constraints for a dualcell system:
• Maximum number of 110 Single-Cell Base Stations in a dualcell system: 2
• Maximum number of handsets in a dualcell system is: 30
If you need to replace a base station in the system, configure the replacement timeout before you add the base
station. For more information, see
