IP handset and cradle
IP handset
The IP handset communicates using Internet
protocols. The handset is not strictly
dedicated to the TracPhone system, but can
also be used in a public network as a
standard IP telephone.
When the IP handset is used with the
terminal, it communicates using Internet
protocol between the handset and the
terminal. However, on the BGAN network
side of the terminal, calls are transmitted as
circuit switched calls.
The IP handset is powered directly from the
LAN interface using Power over Ethernet
(PoE).
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.
