Making an analogue handset or fax connection

Setting call quality
You can choose to receive incoming or make outgoing calls using Standard or Premium voice
quality. Standard quality calls are made at 4kbps, premium quality calls are made at 3.1kHz over a
64kbps ISDN channel. If call quality is set to premium, you can connect a G3 fax machine to the
phone/fax interface.
Set the required call quality for all calls in BGAN LaunchPad, as described below. Note that you
•
must set the incoming call quality and outgoing call quality separately.
• To set the incoming call quality for one or both of the analogue interfaces to Standard
(4kbps) or Premium (3.1kHz), go to BGAN Services > Telephony Settings in BGAN
LaunchPad and select the Incoming Calls tab.
Refer to "Using BGAN LaunchPad on the EXPLORER 700" for details on using this screen.
To set the outgoing call quality for one or both of the analogue interfaces to Standard or
º
Premium for all calls, go to BGAN Services > Telephony Settings in BGAN LaunchPad
and select the Outgoing Calls tab.
Refer to "Using BGAN LaunchPad on the EXPLORER 700" for details on using this screen.
• Set the required call quality for an individual call using the handset. Dial *1 before dialling the
number to set the call quality to Standard, or dial *2 before dialling the number to set the call
quality to Premium.
Note Voice calls are charged by call duration, and a 3.1kHz voice call is charged at a higher rate
than a 4kbps voice call. Refer to your Service Provider for details on call charges.
To connect a phone or fax to the terminals' phone/fax interface, you need an analog telephone
cable with an RJ-11 connector.
