signals. If this is the situation at your site, use Static Entry or Learn Once in an area
without overlapping ESSIDs.

* Learn Once

Allows the handset to scan all ESSIDs for a DHCP server and/or

the NetLink Telephony Gateway. Once either is found, the handset retains the
ESSID from whichever AP it associates with at that point. When overlapping
wireless systems exist, the Learn Once feature allows the handset to use only the
ESSID established at first learn at all subsequent power ons. This ESSID is
retained by the handset until the ESSID option is reselected.

Learn Always

Allows the handset to automatically learn the ESSID at each

power on or loss of contact with the wireless LAN (out of range). This may be
useful if the handset will be used at more than one site.

Static Entry

If the APs do not accept broadcast ESSID, or if there are

overlapping wireless systems in use at the site, enter the correct ESSID manually.

Security

*NONE

disables any 802.11 encryption or security authentication mechanisms.

For WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK set each of the following options to
match exactly the settings in the APs.

Encryption codes display as they are entered. For security reasons codes will
not display when a user returns to the Admin menu, Encryption options.

WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a wireless encryption protocol that encrypts data

frames on the wireless medium allowing for greater security in the wireless network.
If WEP is required at this site, you must configure each handset to correspond with
the encryption protocol set up in the APs. Select the entries from the options below
to enable the handset to acquire the system.
