2. Plan the Interface
The system administrator programs the telephone system for use with the Wireless
Telephone System using the normal administration terminal or procedures. Programming
can be done after the Wireless Telephones are registered.
Recommended programming includes assigning extension numbers to the Wireless
Telephones and programming features on the telephone system so they are easily
accessible from the Wireless Telephones.
For analog interfaces, macro codes are in the document relating to configuring the
system. See
Link 3000 MCU: Operator’s Console
,
Link 150 M3 MCU: Installation and
Operation
, or
NetLink Telephony Gateway: Setup and Maintenance.
The following information will help the system administrator set up the SpectraLink
Wireless Telephones to operate in a way that feels familiar and comfortable to users.
2.1 Plan
Programming
Digital Interface programming for the Wireless Telephone System will be faster if it is
planned in advance by verifying the parameters and features on the current telephone
system and wired phones. The system administrator must assign extension numbers to
the Wireless Telephones and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system
features, ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the Wireless Telephones.
One of these scenarios concerning how the Wireless Telephones are programmed should
apply to this site:
••••
All Wireless Telephones are programmed alike
– All Wireless Telephones will be
programmed exactly the same. Depending on the capabilities of the switch, the
system administrator can often program one Wireless Telephone and use it as a model
for all other Wireless Telephones.
••••
Groups of Wireless Telephones are programmed alike
–Wireless Telephones are
grouped into classes that are programmed alike. Depending on the capabilities of the
switch, the system administrator can program “model” Wireless Telephones then use
the model as a template to program the other Wireless Telephones.
••••
All Wireless Telephones are different
– All Wireless Telephones are programmed
differently, so each Wireless Telephone will be programmed individually.
Before installation, the parameters of the wired phones should be verified to plan the
parameters required for the Wireless Telephones.
Line Assignment
- the Wireless Telephone supports up to nine line resources. Which
lines should ring at this Wireless Telephone (Bridged Call Alerting) and which lines will
be selected when the user goes off-hook (Idle or Alerting Appearance Preference)?
Call Appearances
- should this extension number appear on any other telephone
(bridged appearance)? On which sets should it ring (bridged call alerting)?
Class of Service
- to which Class of Service should Wireless Telephones be assigned?
