1.22 Portable Station (PS) Features
Feature Guide 167
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) The PS is in idle status (i.e., waiting to receive calls).
[Example of Handover]
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 (→ 1.21.2
Voice Mail DPT (Digital) Integration)
d) Paging other extensions. (→ 1.14.1 Paging)
e) On a doorphone call.
f) Dialing digits to make a CO line call.
g) On a call with an extension which is recording the conversation via PC Console or PC Phone.
Conditions
• If every CS that a PS is in range of is busy when that PS is called, the call will not be connected and
the caller will hear a busy tone.
