[MOVED] SS2W Registering a different base

[2B]

Hello Steffen,

just called the polycom-people in Germany today because of the following problem:

We do have a SoundStation 2W Unit (just the console). I was asking them if I could buy just a base unit as a spare part.

They told me that this won´t work because the two parts (console and base) are solely "married" to each other, i.e. You can not mix parts with different serial numbers. Following your reply to Bill it should be  possible to mix parts. And if yes, where can I buy a base unit only?

Thanks for your help in advance and

Best regards

Hello Falco,

welcome to the Polycom community.

As far as I am aware you cannot purchase a single base station.

As replied to Bill I have tested multiple different base stations in my lab with non matching serial SS2W Units (in EMEA!).

What makes you so sure that the Base Station is the defective Unit?

Have you tried to register the SS2W via GAP to a normal household DECT Base Station?

I am aware that in EMEA manufacturers like SIEMENS Gigaset sell House Hold Base Stations and Handset's that allow up to 6 different Handset's being registered.

Maybe you can test to register your SS2W to ensure that the SS2W Unit itself is not faulty.

Hello Steffen,

thank you for your qick reaction. Meanwhile I tried to pair (register)  the console to an old Loewe base station (dect) but it did not work.

Would it possibly be working with a siemens gigaset SL780 or SL375 or 4170isdn base station (all dect/gap, allowing up to 6 different Handset's)?

Best regards

Falco,

it could simply be that the SS2W itself is defective.

Can you check the Software Version and see if the Text in there "scrolls" ?

What is the Serial of the Unit at the Bottom?

I had it on an old Gigaset Base before and also plenty of different KIRK Systems all using GAP.

Hello Steffen,

CVM: 1.61

DSP: S2W.CON.01.209

CPLD: 1.06

The text does not scroll.

The Serial is:  F205420180649

thank you again for your help.

Best regards

Hello Falco,

that Software is rather old and the unit was manufactured 2005.

Please ensure you go to the SS2W Website and download the 1.600 Software from => here <=

I am not 100% sure (as I got no such old Firmware / Hardware combination in my Lab) that your Software even supports GAP. It should offer 2 different Registration Methods but I think this was only introduced in 1.3xx

Hello Steffen,

heureka!

After the software update it was no problem to register the console (gap) to a gigaset base station.

Thank you very very much for your support.
