Introduction
IP handset and cradle
IP handset
The Thrane & Thrane IP handset
communicates using Internet protocols. The
handset is not strictly dedicated to the
SAILOR FleetBroadband system, but can also
be used in a public network as a standard IP
telephone.
When the IP handset is used with the
terminal, it communicates using Internet
protocol between the handset and the
terminal. However, on the BGAN network
side of the terminal, calls are transmitted as
circuit switched calls.
The IP handset is powered directly from the
LAN interface using Power over Ethernet
(PoE).
When connected to the terminal the IP
handset provides a dedicated menu with a
subset of the terminal configuration options.
For more information on the functions of the
IP handset, refer to the user manual for the
IP handset.
