Chapter 14
Cordless telephones and features

The Business Communications Manager supports a number of cordless telephone systems.

These systems are region-based. For more information about which regions support which
mobility devices, refer to the Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide
or ask your customer service representative.

The Companion system supports C3050 Etiquette, Companion C3060 Portable, and
Companion C3050 CT2Plus handsets.

The DECT system supports the DECT C4010 handset and the DECT C4020 handset.

The T7406 cordless telephone emulates the T7316 telephone firmware. (North American)

The NetVision and NetVision Data telephones are IP wireless telephones. (North American)

All portable telephones communicate through radio links with a base station or access point
transceivers. The DECT, Companion, and T7406 system base stations connect directly to a media
bay module installed in the Business Communications Manager. The NetVision handsets
communicate to an access point that is connected to a WAN or LAN that the Business
Communications Manager is also connected to.

These handsets provide you with the mobility to move about your office and continue or initiate
conversations as you move about.

Multiple-handset/base station, local

Your DECT and Companion cordless telephone systems use multiple base stations to provide full
coverage around your office. As you move from one part of your office to another, your call passes
from one base station to the next.

In rare instances, during a Message session, softkey display prompts on your portable may
disappear. This is a normal condition and is improved by staying within range of a base station.

While you are moving within range, you may hear a slight clipping during a call. Clipping
occurs as a call is handed off from one base station to the next.

Problems with lost connections are rare, but if you notice an increase in occurrences, your base
stations may need to be moved or reprogrammed. Contact your installer to change the base
station configuration. (In the U.S. you need to obtain UTAM Inc. approval before making
changes to the base station configuration for Companion systems.) For more information, refer
to Business Communications Manager Programming Operations Guide.

Note:

If you try to send a message from a desk telephone to a portable telephone, the

display of the desk telephone shows

Can’t send msg
