The NetVision and NetVision Data telephones provide an internet telephone connection to the Business Communications Manager. These eMobility wireless telephones are based on an enhanced implementation of H.323, referred to as H.323+, and IEEE 802.11 protocol for wireless LANs.

The NetVision system consists of the following components:

•Access point — provides the radio link between the NetVision telephones and an internet connection. This hardware is ordered separately, and comes with complete installation instructions. This component is not specific to Business Communications Manager.

•Portable handset — communicates through the internet to the Business Communications Manager. This handset is wireless. However, the access point through which it communications connects to the internet. The handset appears as an IP telephone to the Business Communications Manager.

•Handset administration — A Business Communications Manager running version 2.5, Feature Pack 1 or newer software, provides a link to the NetVision Phone Administrator (NVPA). This application, which is specific to the Business Communications Manager, resides on your computer. It provides a set of handset options where you specify the features and settings for each handset. This file is then uploaded by the handset through a serial cable from your computer.

Symbol provides a user manual that describes the handset-based features and how they work. The NetVision Telephone Feature Card, provided on your Business Communications Manager CD, describes how to use the Business Communications Manager features that can be accessed by the handset.
