Guide

Get started contains instructions in how to set
up the BeoCom 2 for use with a BeoLine
ISDN, BeoLine PSTN, or BeoCom 6000 base.
The Guide contains instructions in daily use of
BeoCom 2.

What are ISDN and PSTN?

ISDN and PSTN are two telephone line networks.
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is the
most common network. ISDN (Integrated Services
Digital Network) allows you to give separate
handsets their own telephone numbers, and gives
you access to a variety of services, such as Call
Forwarding. BeoCom 2 is compatible with both
PSTN and ISDN.
