1.20 Portable Station (PS) Features
164 Feature Guide
1.20.3 Wireless XDP Parallel Mode
Description
A portable station (PS) can be used in parallel with a wired telephone, i.e., a digital proprietary telephone
(DPT), analog proprietary telephone (APT), or single line telephone (SLT), allowing an extension user to
make or receive calls with either the wired telephone or the PS. The PS will use the same extension number
as the wired telephone, and many of the wired telephone's extension settings (Call Forwarding [FWD],
Class of Service [COS], etc.) are also used by the PS.
This mode is similar to XDP Parallel mode used to pair DPTs with SLTs. (→ 2.1.1 Extension Port
Configuration)
In order to use a PS in Wireless XDP Parallel mode, the mode must be turned on using the PS.
[Example of Wireless XDP Parallel Mode, XDP Parallel Mode]
Conditions
• Whether or not a PS is allowed to pair itself with a wired telephone is determined by the COS assigned
to the extension number of the wired telephone. (→ Wireless XDP Parallel Mode for Paired Telephone
[515])
• Wireless XDP Parallel mode can be turned on or off using the PS only.
• To switch between the wired telephone and the PS during a conversation, simply go off-hook with the
other telephone. Alternatively, to seize a separate line, use another method, such as pressing a CO or
INTERCOM button.
In addition, going off-hook with the other telephone seizes a separate line when the extension is:
a) Engaged in a conference call. (→ 1.13.1 Conference Features)
b) Screening a call using Live Call Screening (LCS) or when recording a conversation using Two-way
Record. (→ 1.19.2 Voice Mail DPT (Digital) Integration)
c) Receiving an Off-hook Call Announcement (OHCA). (→ 1.7.4.3 Off-hook Call Announcement
(OHCA))
d) Being monitored by another extension. (→ 1.7.3 Call Monitor)
e) Having a call on consultation hold. (→ 1.12.5 Consultation Hold)
