<p>A wireless telephone communication system (10) in which a portable unit (12) communicates with a base unit (11) over a wireless (radio) communication link (15). Access to a telephone network (15b) by the portable unit (12), via the base unit (11), is permitted when the base and portable units have corresponding ID codes stored therein. The base ID code is hardwired into the base unit (11), and the portable unit (12) learns its ID code from the base unit in response to mechanically coupling the base and portable units together via plug (28) and socket (45) assemblies. The base and portable units each have associated microprocessors (22 and 40) which implement the transfer of an ID code to the portable unit from the base unit via conductors (24'-42') which are part of the plug and socket assemblies. The plug and socket assemblies, when mated, also provide a connection between a battery charging supply circuit (25) in the base unit (11) and a battery (46) in the portable unit (12). Reset circuits (29 and 50) are provided in the base and portable units and control the resetting of the microprocessors (22 and 40).</p> |
