Introduction
Introduction 1
Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your IP Handset!
The IP Handset communicates using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which 
means that voice conversations are routed over the Internet or through an IP-
based network. 
There are two variants of the IP handset: A wired and a wireless variant.
In this chapter
This chapter introduces the IP Handset and gives an overview of its features 
and functions.

2Your IPHandset
Your IP Handset
Description
The IP Handset is used for making 
phone calls over an IP based 
network. When used with a BGAN 
terminal, the communication is only 
IP based between the handset and 
the BGAN terminal. From the BGAN 
terminal, the call is transmitted as a 
normal circuit-switched call.
The handset is designed specifically 
for use in harsh environments and it 
is dust proof and splash proof. 
Excellent sound quality is achieved 
by including a state-of-the-art echo 
canceller and noise suppression 
software. 
On the large 2.2" color TFT screen, a 
graphical user interface provides 
easy access to all functions including 
contacts and settings. The user 
interface also provides direct access 
to certain features of a connected 
BGAN terminal. 
There are two variants of the 
handset: A wired model and a 
wireless model.

Introduction
The wired IP handset
The wired handset is powered directly 
from the LAN interface using Power over 
Ethernet (PoE), so an external power 
supply is not needed.
The TT-3670A Thrane IP Handset, wired, 
includes the following main units:
• TT-3672A Thrane IP Handset, wired
• TT-3674A Thrane IP cradle, wired
The IP Handset connects to the cradle 
with a coil cord. The cradle connects with 
a fixed LAN cable to a LAN port with PoE, 
for example in a BGAN terminal 
(Broadband Global Area Network) for 
satellite communication.

The wireless IP handset
The wireless IP handset connects 
to a wireless access point using 
Wireless Local Area Networking 
(WLAN). 
The internal battery is charged 
from the dedicated cradle, which 
connects to an external power 
supply (12-24 V DC).
The TT-3670B Thrane IP Handset 
& Cradle, wireless, includes the 
following main units:

Getting started with the wired IP Handset
Introduction
The wired IP Handset connects to the cradle with a coil cord. The cradle 
connects with a fixed LAN cable to a LAN port with PoE, for example in a BGAN 
terminal. The IP Handset is powered directly from the LAN (PoE) interface.
Connectors
IP Handset connectors
The IP Handset has a coil cord with a LAN connector for connecting to the 
cradle or directly to a LAN (PoE) interface.
The handset also has two connectors on the side of the handset:
• one connector for connecting a headset.
• one Mini-USB connector.
Note These two connectors are currently not functional.

Getting started
IP cradle connectors
The cradle for the IP handset has two internal LAN connectors and an 
alternative terminal block for the LAN connection:
• One LAN connector connects to the coil cord from the IP Handset. 
• The other LAN connector, or alternatively the terminal block, connects to 
your LAN cable between the cradle and the BGAN terminal.
Connecting the cables to the IP cradle
Do as follows:
1. Remove the two screws holding the center cover in the bottom of the 
cradle and take off the cover.
2. Connect the coil cord from the IP Handset to the cradle connector marked 
J103. Then fit the cable relief mounted on the coil cord into the groove at 
the cradle exit.
3. To mount the external LAN cable, do one of the following:

Chapter 2:  Getting started
10 Getting started with the wired IP Handset
• Connect a standard LAN cable to the connector marked J102 in the 
cradle. This is the cable for connecting to the BGAN terminal or other 
LAN (PoE) interface.
• Connect the wires of a LAN cable to the terminal block marked J101. The 
text next to the terminal block indicates which signal goes where.
4. Mount cable relief at the cable exit from the cradle.
5. Mount the cover and fasten the two screws.
Important The space between the cable LAN connector and the 
PCB is very scarce - make sure the housing of the cable 
connector is not too thick to allow for the connectors to 
fit properly. 
Note Make sure the cable relief matches the size of the cable.

12 Getting started with the wired IP Handset
Connecting the wired handset to a BGAN terminal
Do as follows:
1. Start up the BGAN terminal as described in the user manual for the 
terminal.
2. Connect the LAN cable from the IP cradle to one of the LAN (PoE) 
connectors on the BGAN terminal.
The cable between cradle and terminal must be maximum 80 m.
The handset starts up automatically when connected to the BGAN terminal. 
However, you may have to configure user name and password if the handset 
has not been connected before. For further information, see Establishing a 
connection using BGAN terminal on page 21.
Note The LAN interface on the BGAN terminal must supply Power over 
Ethernet.
Note If you insert a switch or similar between the cradle and the 
terminal, make sure that it conforms to the industry PoE standard 
IEEE 802.3 af (using data pairs).

Starting up the wired IP Handset
To switch on the IP Handset
The wired IP Handset is automatically powered when it is connected to a LAN 
interface with PoE.
If the handset has been switched off, you can switch it back on by pressing 
and holding the on hook key until the display lights up.
If the handset does not start up, the reason may be that there is no PoE in the 
LAN interface. If you are connecting to a BGAN terminal, check that the PoE 
indicator on the terminal lights green for the connected port. For further 
information, refer to the installation manual for the BGAN terminal.
To switch off the IP Handset, press and hold the on hook key again until the 
display is turned off.
