EC500 for DECT?

[tx0223]

Hi

We have a customer that wants some users to have both a desk phone and a DECT phone. They should ring simultaneously, but when one is answered the user should be in a "busy" mode.

I mean with that last that when the user picks up e.g. the wireless phone and another call comes in, the desk phone does not ring.

Can EC500 be used for what I just described (I hope it is clear enough)? Can it be used on internal wireless phones?

Thanks

What king of inter wireless phone? EC500 is for cell phones.

It can with a DECT. You would set up xmobile stations for the desk phones and use the DECT DID in place of the wireless number. If the DECT doesn't not have call waiting they will only need one xmobile station for each. Hell I've setup xmobile station to multi line analog...it should work with a DECT.

I have another location that has a Siemens switch that uses DECT phones. They assign them to a analog DID and forward their calls...not anything like EC500.

If Avaya can pull off WIFI and SIP intergration, DECT phones will be dead. IMHO.

DECT is Spectralink on Steroids.

Thanks for the reply, guys. Unfortunately I won't be able to test it until after the weekend, but I'm confident it'll work based on your feedback.

Just wasn't sure because the documentation specifically only mentionned cell phones, but DECT -at least in Europe- is still used quite a bit and this feature would be very useful!

EC500 can be used with DECT phones but will not busy the other phone when one is answered. This is also true if you use with cellular. You can enter several endpoints to ring simultaneously if you really want to.
