Managing IP handsets
Overview
The terminal has 2 LAN (PoE) connectors for connection of IP handsets or other IP equipment. You
may connect your IP handsets directly to the LAN interfaces or use a PoE switch to connect more
handsets. The SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal supports connection of up to 4 handsets.
Each handset must have a local number in the range 0501 to 0504 as well as a unique password.
By default, handset numbers are automatically assigned when Thrane IP Handsets are connected.
However, you may want to change the password for the handset. For further information, see the
next section Connecting and configuring IP handsets.
Note that if you do not want your Thrane IP Handsets to automatically be assigned a local number
and password, you can clear the setting Settings > Start up options > Auto BGAN SIP in the Thrane
IP Handset menu. This is recommended if you are going to use Voice Distress or Multi-voice with
assigned numbers. See Voice Distress on page 121 and Additional numbers for Multi-voice on
page 38.
Connecting and configuring IP handsets
If you want to view or change the settings for the new IP handset, do as follows:
1. Connect the IP handset to one of the LAN ports of the terminal.
If it is a Thrane IP Handset, the handset starts up and is automatically registered and assigned
the first available number.
Note
The handset with the local number 0501 is the master handset. This means you can
start/stop data sessions from the terminal with this handset, if the function is allowed in
the User permissions page. See Setting up user permissions on page 113.
Note
A Thrane IP Handset that is connected to the LAN interface on the terminal is by default
automatically registered in the terminal and assigned the first available local number
and a password which is the same number.
