The Portable Parts tab of the Subscriber menu provides an overview of the
handset locations. Using this menu, you can identify the current position of a
handset, track a handset’s location over time (see page 39), check the RFP visibility
for selected handsets (see page 41), and send messages to selected handsets (see
page 44).
For each handset the table displays the following information:
■ Name, Call no., Description 1, Description 2: the handset’s data
■ Tracking: indicates the current tracking mode, see section Setting the tracking
mode on page 37
■ Updated: indicates the time stamp of the last location update, see section
Updating location information on page 38
■ Location: currently known location. An “unknown” entry in the Location
column indicated that the handset can not be located, e.g. because the
handset is switched off.
Searching for a handset
To search for a specific handset in a large table, use the search input field (see
page 49). You can also browse through the pages of a multiple page table (see
page 48). Furthermore, you can adapt the table display to your needs (see
page 47).
Setting the tracking mode
The handset sends its location information on each interaction with an RFP (e.g.
during a phone call or when the DECT handset software is updated). It is possible
to direct the OMM to “ask” the handset periodically for its current location even if
the handset is not in interaction with an RFP. Its advantage is that the location
information displayed in the portable parts table is always current but this will
cause a high battery consumption and thus reduce the handset’s stand-by time.
The current tracking mode is indicated by the following icons:
1. To switch the tracking mode for a handset, select the respective handset entry.
You can also select multiple entries: press and hold the [CTRL] key and then
Tracking mode is activated. The OMM polls for handset location infor-
mation periodically.
Tracking mode is deactivated. The history location might not show current
position information since the history has been updated manually (see
page 38).
