BeoCom 2 BeoCom 2 Getting started 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.

BeoCom 2 is compatible with both PSTN and ISDN. An explanation of symbols in the guides: Display > Up or down arrows on the display indicate that there is more information available.
