Establishing a connection, going online

When you go online, your buddy list will be displayed on the handset and you will receive messages from your buddies.

Only one of the handsets connected to the base station can connect to the messenger server. You can then only 'chat' on this handset.

An external call will interrupt the 'chat', but you will still be online. You can continue your chat after you end or reject the call.

Precondition: You have saved the messenger server address and your access data for the messenger server (user ID and password) in the phone using the Web configurator (page 90).
