State

Description

 

 

Active (on-hook)

This state is entered when the handset is in standby state and the user presses the Menu

 

key. The handset appears to be on-hook from the Call Server point of view, and loud

 

ringing will occur (when required). The handset display is active and the Menu, FCN and

 

Line menus can be accessed. The user returns to the standby state by pressing the

 

Power Off/End Call key. If no keys are pressed for a period of 10 seconds, the state times

 

out and the handset returns to the standby state. Pressing the Power Off/End Call key in

 

any of the menus will exit the menu. Pressing the Power Off/End Call key again will

 

return the handset to standby state.

 

If the user selects any menu item or presses a soft key, the handset changes into the

 

active (off-hook) state, the timeout condition is removed and the handset will use a soft

 

ring.

 

 

Error

The handset enters the error state when it loses the signal from the access point.

 

If the handset regains the signal within approximately 20 seconds, it returns to the state it

 

just left. If the handset is out of range for longer than 20 seconds, the handset restarts and

 

returns to the standby state.

 

For more information on error messages, see “Display messages” on page 44.

 

 

Active call

The handset enters the active call state when a user is in an active conversation. To enter

 

this state, the user either makes a call or answers an incoming call. While in this state, the

 

handset will use a soft ring to alert the user to another call. The user leaves this state

 

when the call is completed by pressing the Power Off/End Call key or if an incoming call

 

is ended before the user answers it.

 

 

Push-to-Talk

The push-to-talk state begins with the first push-to-talk transmission and ends when there

(WLAN Handset

has been no two-way radio traffic on the channel for 10 seconds.

2211 only)

While in the push-to-talk state, it is not possible to use the keypad for any other functions.

 

However, it is possible to place and receive telephone calls.

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.
