A PS can share an extension number with a wired telephone, allowing extension users to use their PSs
when they are away from their desks to answer or make calls as if they were using their wired telephones.

PS Interaction with CS
Each PS communicates with the PBX wirelessly through a cell station (CS). Each CS is connected to the
PBX and sends and receives radio waves to and from different PSs within its range, using different channels
for different PSs.
A PS must be within range of a CS in order to be used, however, multiple CSs can be used with the same
PBX to offer a greater area of wireless coverage. Additionally, a PS does not need to be used with a specific
CS; any PS can communicate with any CS provided the PS is registered to the PBX, and provided the CS
has at least one channel available.
Handover
If a PS is within range of more than one CS, the PS will communicate with the CS which has the greatest signal
strength and an available channel. When a PS user moves out of range of one CS and moves in range of
another CS, the PS will "hand over" its communications to the new CS. Handover is possible when:
a.
The PS is on an intercom call or on a call with an outside party. (The call will not be disconnected during
the handover.)
b.
A call is ringing at the PS. (The call will continue to ring after the handover.)
c.
In a stacking connection, the CSs are connected to different PBXs. (® 18.1.11 Stacking Connection)
[Example of Handover]
CS-1
CS-2
Moving
Handover is not possible when the PS is:
a.
Not within range of another CS.
b.
Within range of another CS but that CS is busy.
c.
Screening a call via Live Call Screening (LCS) or recording a call via Two-way Record (® 20.1.51 Unified
Messaging—Live Call Screening (LCS) and 20.1.90 Unified Messaging—Two-way Record/Two-way
Transfer)
d.
Paging other extensions. (® 15.1.1 Paging)
e.
Dialing digits to make a CO line call.
f.
On a call with an extension which is recording the conversation via PC Console or PC Phone.
IP Cell Station
The IP Cell Station Unit (IP-CS) can be connected to a PBX via a LAN. The IP-CS supports existing DECT 6.0
Portable Stations (PSs) with the same features as using a traditional CS. The IP-CS allows for easy and
cost-saving installation using an existing IP network infrastructure.
The IP-CS provides the following:
–
Wireless systems using a converged voice and data network infrastructure.
–
Wireless branch offices and wireless solutions by long distance installation on larger premises.
–
Reliable wireless communication using DECT 6.0 technology over an IP network.
For more information about IP-CSs, refer to the IP-CS Quick Installation Guide.
