DECT PHONE MESSAGING
AND ALERTING

Mitel 600/700 DECT Phone Messaging and Alerting Applications
2
INTRODUCTION
Your SIP-DECT solution supports message and alarm
solutions. Message and alarm management is possible by
connecting external alarm servers or by using the basic
functions of the OpenMobility Integrated Messaging & Alerting
service (OM IMA). In addition, the system can be equipped
with the OpenMobility Locating application (OML) which
enables DECT phone location based on the DECT base
stations that the DECT phone uses.
The Mitel 600/700 series of DECT phones provide features for
handling messages. They are particularly suitable for use with
these Mitel applications.
OTHER DOCUMENTATION
This user guide describes the special messaging features of
the Mitel 600/700 DECT phone series and how to use them.
For basic information on DECT phone operation, please see
the:
•Mitel 600 series DECT Phone User Guide
•Mitel 700 series DECT Phone User Guide
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please note the safety instructions included with the device.
Please read these safety instructions first before using your
DECT phone.
NOTES ON AUTHORIZATION AND LICENCES
Sending and receiving of text messages and tasks is subject
to licensing and also depends on user permission. This means
that not every subscriber in a DECT system can use these

Introduction
features automatically. Ask your system administrator which
particular features are enabled for your DECT phone.
Sending text messages to a FAX gateway or to an SMS
gateway (for GSM phones) also requires additional
applications available on the communications system. Sending
text messages to an e-Mail gateway is possible without
additional applications.
MESSAGE TYPES
Messages can be managed by an integrated data processing
of your communications system or by an external application
(server). All supported message types are described below,
however, available message types depend on the application.
Messages sent by the DECT phone are identified as normal
or urgent, and furthermore in text messages and jobs. Text
messages require no or basic confirmation from the sender.
Jobs are messages containing tasks. They must be confirmed
as “read”, “accepted” and – in case of urgent jobs – as “done”.
In addition, an application can send information messages
(e.g., news ticker), alarm messages, and messages to locate
a person.
