Handset Maintenance

This section describes the recommended procedure for installing and configuring handsets.
There are several ways to install a handset but the procedures described here ensure simple
maintenance of the system.
The Device manager in the Unite module is the recommended method for installing,
upgrading and configuring handsets in a large system because it allows large numbers of
handsets to be maintained simultaneously. Another benefit is that the recall and collection
of handsets from users is not required. Handsets can be maintained while placed in DC4
desktop chargers or CR3 rack chargers connected to a network, or an IP-DECT over-the-air
connection.
The PDM is suitable for smaller systems where a handset is managed by inserting it in a DC4
Desktop Charger or CR3 charging rack connected to a computer over USB.
For PDM, see Installation and Operation Manual, Portable Device Manager (PDM), Windows
Version, TD 92325EN.
3.1

Preparing PDM or Device Manager for Handling of d62

If the parameter definition file (.def file) for the handset is not present in the PDM or the
Device Manager, it can be added by following the procedure below. The parameter definition
file and software files are delivered as a package file with the extension '.pkg'. Note that
template files (.tpl) may also be included in a package file.
1 Open the PDM or Device Manager.
2 In the File menu, select Import > Packages.
3 Select the package and click "OK".
The package is imported and the files are created; one definition file with the extension .def
and one software file with the extension .bin. Template files may also be created.
3.2

Installing a New Handset

The installation basically contains three steps:
• Subscribing to the DECT-system – needed to be able to make calls and send messages
(Mandatory).
• Creating an identity for the handset in the PDM/Device Manager – needed to be able to
configure the behaviour of the handset and take backups of the handset configuration
(Recommended).
• Configuring the handset using PDM/Device Manager – customizing the behaviour of the
handset to suite each user profile and the specific PBX used in the system
(Recommended).
The installation is described in two different scenarios, see below. Before starting, check
which scenario that suits best.
