Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome Congratulations on the purchase of your IP Handset! The IP Handset communicates using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which means that voice conversations are routed over the Internet or through an IP-based network. The handset is powered directly from the LAN interface using Power over Ethernet (PoE), which eliminates the need for an external power supply.
Chapter 1: Introduction Your IP Handset The IP Handset is used for making phone calls over an IP based network. When used with a BGAN terminal, the communication is only IP based between the handset and the BGAN terminal. From the BGAN terminal, the call is transmitted as a normal circuit-switched call.
Chapter 1: Introduction Features The IP Handset offers the following features: Voice communication over Internet or IP based network Contacts list with up to 100 entries Intuitive user interface and menu system Built-in web interface High quality color display QVGA Rugged but elegant design Splash proof and dust proof Connectivity to Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) terminal...
