Direct Connect
All you need is a regular corded or cordless phone. This method is recommended for residential users.
- Find a spot in your home or office where you receive good cell phone reception.
- Plug XLink into a wall power outlet.
- Plug any regular phone into the telephone jack on the back of the XLink.
- Pair and connect your bluetooth cell phone to XLink.
If you want to have multiple extensions throughout the house, try using a multi handset cordless phone. If you only want the cell phone to ring in one location, use a single handset phone.
Using House Wiring
- Find a spot in your home or office where you receive good cell phone reception.
- Plug XLink into a wall power outlet.
- Disconnect your home wiring from your local telephone company. This can be done at the demarcation point where your telephone services enters your house. If you are unsure how to do this consult a professional.
- Use a regular telephone cord and plug the telephone jack on the XLink into a nearby telephone jack.
- Pair and connect your bluetooth cell phone to XLink.
All phone plugged into telephone jacks throughout your house will now become cell phone extension sets.
PBX or KSU
- Using a regular telephone cord, plug the XLink telephone jack into the CO line card of your PBX or KSU. Treat the XLink as just another regular landline. The difference is that the dial tone, ringing voltage, CLID etc. is coming from the XLink, not the central office.
- Plug XLink into a wall power outlet.
- Pair and connect your bluetooth cell phone to XLink. The cell phone can be a shared one that remains in the phone room.
- You can optionally use an extra pair of wires to position XLink so that it is located in the office of a particular user, instead of the phone room. This will allow users to have access to the cell phone.
Any handset on your PBX or KSU that has that line appearance will now ring when the cell phone rings.
PBX or KSU
XLink can provide the signaling required by Gateways for billing system use on most GSM networks.
- Connect XLink to the FXO port of an IP gateway or channel bank.
- Pair and connect your bluetooth cell phone to XLink. This cell phone remains in the same room with the Gateway.
Calls coming in through the IP gateway are connected through the cell phone to the final destination.
