If your voice mail box has been assigned to your desk set, log on using the desk set
DN when accessing the voice mail box from the twinned portable.
For more detailed information on how to access voice mail using your portable,
refer to Portable Telephone Feature Card that is supplied with the portable
telephone.
Using target lines
Wireline and wireless telephones can be twinned using target lines. The line for the
desk telephone can be configured to appear on the portable, or the line for the
portable can appear on the desk telephone. Incoming external calls ring at both.
When you twin wireline and wireless telephones using line assignments, each
telephone has its own internal DN. When someone wants to call you or forwards a
call to you internally, they must choose between the desk telephone and the portable
DN. The call appears and rings only at the internal DN that was dialed.
Using your portable telephone
Your portable telephone communicates with the Enterprise Edge system using
radio waves. The radio transceivers for the system are located in the Base Stations
installed around your office. Each Base Station contains two radio transceivers and
can handle two portable telephone calls at once.
Your portable telephone is truly portable. Not only can you start a telephone
conversation anywhere in the office, you can continue that conversation while you
walk through the building. As you move from one part of your office to another,
your call is handed off from one Base Station to another.
If you notice a decrease in voice quality while moving with a portable telephone,
you are moving out of range of your system’s Base Stations. There are three
possible reasons for this:
• The Base Stations that cover the area you are moving into may already be busy
and therefore cannot pick up your call.
• Large pieces of furniture or movable partitions may have been moved into a
position that blocks the signal between you and the Base Station.
• You may have moved out of the area covered by your Enterprise Edge system.
(Retrace your steps until you are back in range.)
In rare instances, during an Enterprise Edge Message session, softkey display
prompts on your portable may disappear. This is a normal condition and is
minimized by staying within the Enterprise Edge coverage area.
Tip
A portable can have an Answer DN and share a line assignment with a desk
telephone.
