Radio credits (U.S. only)

Press CREDIT to see the number of radio credits available and the total number of radio credits. Verify that the total number of radio credits is enough to support the system you have just installed. The number of radio credits must be double the number of base stations you have installed. If the total number of radio credits is not enough for the system, you may need to obtain additional credits. See Software keys (U.S. only) on page 67.

Cell Assignment

A cell is the area covered by one or more radios in close proximity. As you move around your office, while on a call with your portable, the call is handed off from one cell to another. A call on a portable can be handed off from one cell to another only if those cells are programmed as neighbors. The Norstar system automatically assigns cell neighbors and re-evaluates the cell-to-cell configuration when base stations are added or removed.

This setting allows you to determine if a base station radio is assigned to a cell in the Companion system.
