WLAN Handsets overview

The Nortel WLAN Handset 2210, WLAN Handset 2211, and the WLAN Handset 2212 for BCM are fully functional wireless handsets specifically designed for the busy office environment.

In this user guide, the WLAN Handset 2210, WLAN Handset 2211, and WLAN Handset 2212 are referred to generically as WLAN Handset.

IMPORTANT!

User must end every call

The user must end every call, by pressing the Power Off/End Call key, to release system resources and allow the WLAN Handset to function properly.

If this is not done, it will result in the ringer not ringing and you might miss an important call.

IMPORTANT!

The WLAN Handset must be fully charged before initial use. See “Battery packs” on page 52.

Warning:

Follow standard acceptance procedures before operating the WLAN Handset near life-support systems.

To minimize risk of interference, pacemaker users should not carry the WLAN Handset next to the pacemaker.

Avoid placing the WLAN Handset near small metallic objects. The WLAN Handset earpiece attracts magnetic objects.

The WLAN Handset produces noise noticeable to hearing aid users. Use a headset compatible with hearing aids.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION

Loud noise environment: The WLAN Handset has been designed to produce optimal voice quality. However, when used in extremely loud noise environments (for example, close to working heavy machinery), users may experience degradation in call quality performance due to echo. Avoid using the WLAN Handset when traversing these types of environments.

2211, 2212 specifications

Nortel Networks, once a titan in the telecommunications arena, produced a variety of products that were pivotal in shaping the future of communication technologies. Among these products were the Nortel 2212 and 2211, which played a significant role in enterprise environments, particularly in the realm of voice over IP (VoIP) and unified communications.

The Nortel 2212 and 2211 are voice codecs used primarily in voice and video communications. They are built to handle multimedia transmissions over packet-switched networks, enhancing voice clarity and video quality. The 2212 codec is particularly noted for its ability to support a wide range of audio frequencies, which allows it to replicate sounds with greater fidelity. This is crucial in corporate settings where clear communication is imperative.

One of the standout features of both codecs is their ability to support multiple voice channels. The 2212 can handle up to 12 simultaneous voice calls, while the 2211 is optimized for smaller operations and can manage 11 calls effectively. This scalability is essential for businesses of varying sizes, enabling them to grow without needing substantial overhauls to their existing infrastructure.

In terms of technology, the Nortel 2212 and 2211 utilize advanced compression algorithms to minimize bandwidth usage while maintaining high audio quality. This is especially beneficial for organizations operating in areas with limited bandwidth or needing to cut costs related to data transmission. Nortel's technology optimizes the transmission over IP networks, making it suitable for VoIP, video conferencing, and even multimedia content delivery.

Additionally, both codecs are compliant with various standards, which makes them compatible with a wide array of telecommunications equipment. Their interoperability means that businesses can integrate these codecs into existing networks without significant disruptions.

Security is another prominent characteristic of the Nortel 2212 and 2211. With built-in encryption protocols, these devices ensure that voice and video communications remain secure from potential eavesdropping or unauthorized access.

In summary, the Nortel 2212 and 2211 play crucial roles in modern telecommunications, offering robust features like scalability, advanced compression, compatibility, and security. Their legacy continues to influence the development of communication technologies and practices in enterprises around the globe, even as newer systems emerge in the fast-evolving telecom landscape.
