10 Introduction

Before You Begin

About Your AirWay System

Your AirWay wireless communication system is the world’s first wireless networking product designed to provide both voice and data networking capabilities to the h ome and small business.
No addtitional wires to run!
The AirWay system allows you to easily build a wireless network that includes desktop and laptop computers, AirWay wireless HandSets, and standard analog devices such as wired telephones and fax machines, without the hassle and expense of running additional phone lines or data cables throughout your building. Because the networked devices are connected together wirelessly, you can move them virtually anywhere within your premises, anytime you wish, again without having to rewire your building.
Share all phone lines among all network devices!
Your AirWay system allows you to share all your phone lines among all network devices, so you can pick up incoming calls or place outgoing calls on any line from any phone in the network. Because the AirWay system is so flexible, you can also easily configure it to restrict a line to a particular extension or extensio ns.
Share computer data, peripherals, and Internet accounts!
Not only can you share files and peripherals such as printers and modems among networked computers, but your AirWay system also allows all computer users in the network to share a single Internet account - all at the same time.
Advanced telephone features on a wireless HandSet!
Besides offering the convenience and portability of a wireless telephone, your AirWay HandSet also provides such advanced telephone features as multi-line call handling with Caller ID, conference calling, extension-to-extension calling, call transfer , and speed dialing using custom dialing directories.
Before You Begin 11
Secure communications!
Your AirWay system uses Digital Spread Spectrum Technology to help ensure robust, secure communications. The system provides five levels of security, the highest available for 900 MHz products.
The first level of security involves peripheral registration and authentication. All network devices must be registered with the Controller using a unique Controller ID number and system password. In addition, network devices must continually re­authenticate themselves to the Controller during communications. This authentication process takes place automatically, with no action required by the user.
Other security measures involve a unique, seven-layer call processing protocol in which all calls are authorized, digitized, scrambled, and dynamically rephased before transmission to help ensure privacy from eavesdropping.
Additional Features
Supports multiple phone lines
AirWa y 516 - up to five telephone lines (four for voice,
fax, etc., and one for Internet access via external modem)
AirWa y 308 - up to three telephone lines (two for voice,
fax, etc., and one for Internet access via external modem)
Supports multiple network peripherals (16 for AirWay 516, 8
for AirWay 308)
Interoperates with existing inside wiring
Windows® compatibility allows computers to be easily con-
nected to network
Easy system administration from AirWay HandSets
Low Battery & Out of Range warnings on HandSet

Controller
The Controller is the primary component of your AirWay system. It connects to your incoming telephone lines and controls all communications between devices on the net­work.
When connected to an external modem, the Controller also performs as an Internet gate­way to allow network computers to simulta­neously access the same Internet account.
HandSet
The AirWay HandSet is a sophisticated wire­less telephone. It provides many features found only on lar g e r, business telephone sets, such as line status screen, Caller ID display and log, call conferencing, call forwarding, call transfer, call privacy and muting, custom dialing directory, and extension-to-extension dialing. In addition, the HandSet can be used for system administration of your AirWay network.
Note:
Caller ID features require subscription with your telephone company.
