Handset has registered with at least one contact on one proxy server. Initialization is
complete. The handset is in standby mode ready to receive and place calls. The line one
contact is displayed.
During the last three steps of this process, the handset contacts the file server and
downloads general SIP information, downloads specific information pertaining to the
handset, registers with the SIP server, and verifies handset credentials. Once this
process is complete, the handset is ready to use.
If the username and password have not been defined in the Admin menu or previously
via the Remote Config file, you will be prompted to enter both of these items before the
extension number can display. The user name must correspond to the configuration file
that contains user-specific information. If the file is not found, an error message will
appear and the handset will restart. See Chapter 4: System Configuration section
Configure SIP Handset Files.
Handset modes
Standby mode (on-hook)
In standby mode, the handset is ready for an incoming call or for the user to place an
outgoing call. The extension number is shown on the display and there is no dial tone. In
this mode, the handset conserves battery power and wireless LAN bandwidth.
When an incoming call arrives, the handset rings; the handset enters the active mode
and remains in this mode until the call has ended. The call is answered by pressing the
START key or the Answ or Spkr softkey. The handset will ring according to user
preference as specified in the standby menus. The ringing can be silenced by pressing
the END key. If you do not wish to accept the call, some SIP call servers support the
ability to press the Rej softkey. If supported, the SIP call server will redirect the call as
configured by the system administrator.
Active mode (off-hook)
The handset is in the active mode when it is off hook or an incoming call is answered.
