information pertaining to the handset, registers with the proxy server(s), and verifies
handset credentials. Once this process is complete, the handset is ready to use.
If the username and password have not been defined in the Admin menu, you will
be prompted to enter both of these items before the extension number can display.
The user name must correspond to the configuration file that contains user-specific
information. If the file is not found, an error message will appear and the handset
will restart. See Section 6.1 SIP TFTP Server Configuration Files.
2.9 Handset Modes
Standby mode (on-hook)
In standby mode, the handset is waiting for an incoming call or for the user to place
an outgoing call. The extension number is shown on the display and there is no dial
tone. In this mode, the handset is conserving battery power and wireless LAN
bandwidth.
When an incoming call occurs, the handset will ring, and the handset enters the
active mode until the call is answered by pressing the Start Call key or the Answ
softkey. The handset will ring according to user preference as specified in the
standby menus. The ringing can be silenced by pressing the End Call key. If you do
not wish to accept the call, press the Rej softkey. The SIP server (if present) will
redirect the call as configured by the system administrator, often to voicemail.
(Treated like the handset is busy.)
Active mode (off-hook)
The handset is in the active mode when an incoming call is answered or when it is in
communication with the SIP server without being in an active call.
When an incoming call occurs during an active call, the handset will play the second
call ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers
to voicemail. If End Call is pressed, the first call is terminated and the handset reverts
to a full ring.
The active modes utilize the most bandwidth and battery power. To conserve these
resources, return the handset to the standby mode when a call is completed by
pressing the End Call key.
Push-to-talk (PTT) mode
The NetLink i640 Wireless Telephones utilize channels for incoming and outgoing
radio communication. While PTT is active, the handset is in PTT mode. It can
receive regular phone calls in this mode. When a regular phone call is answered, the
handset enters active mode.
Messaging mode
If text messaging functions have been programmed, as in a nurse call system, the
handset is able to receive text messages. While these messages are being accessed, the
handset is in messaging mode. Incoming calls will ring with the second call ringing
sound.
