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 handsets are registered.
Recommended programming includes assigning extension numbers to the handsets
and programming features on the telephone system so they are easily accessible from
the handsets.
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: Installation, Configuration, and
Administration.
The following information will help the system administrator set up the SpectraLink
handsets 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 handsets and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions,
system features, ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the handsets.
One of these scenarios concerning how the handsets are programmed should apply
to this site:
• All handsets are programmed alike – All handsets will be programmed exactly
the same. Depending on the capabilities of the switch, the system administrator
can often program one handset and use it as a model for all other handsets.
• Groups of handsets are programmed alike – Handsets are grouped into classes
that are programmed alike. Depending on the capabilities of the switch, the
system administrator can program “model” handsets then use the model as a
template to program the other handsets.
• All handsets are different – All handsets are programmed differently, so each
handset will be programmed individually.
Before the system is installed, verify the operating parameters and features on the
Rolm system and sets, and set up template tables to reflect the required parameters
and features for the handsets. Programming will be faster if you determine this
information in advance.
Line Assignment
The handset supports a total of nine line resources. Which lines should ring at this
handset?
Extensions
Which extensions will be assigned to the handsets?
