7.12.2 Potential Pitfalls

When an RFP is configured via the OM Configurator and is taken out of an installation, the
RFP may become unusable:

When this RFP comes up, it finds a valid configuration in its permanent memory. It will
hence skip DHCP for booting.

But when this configuration is not valid anymore (e.g. the TFTP server has a new IP
address meanwhile), the RFP isn't able to complete the boot and is hence not able to
connect to the OMM.

The RFP will not get newer passwords from the OMM.

It is therefore recommended to switch of the OM Configurator before taking an RFP out of an
installation. But nevertheless the OM Configurator allows to reset the permanent memory of
an RFP (the Aastra support must be connected).

WLAN Configuration (RFP 42 / L42 only)

7.13.1 WLAN configuration steps

The correct configuration of an RFP with a WLAN interface requires the correct configuration
of the DECT part. The second step is to specify the regulatory domain of the WLAN network
at the

System settings

page of the OMM web service (see chapter 5.4.1).

Regulatory Domain

Country

0x10: FCC

USA, Australia

0x20: IC

Canada

0x30: ETSI

Europe (excluding Spain, France)

0x31: SPAIN

Spain

0x32: FRANCE

France

0x40: MKK

Japan

0x41: MKK1

Japan (MKK1)

This setting depends on the country and is prescribed by the laws of that country. Only the
setting prescribed for that country must be used.

The third step is to specify the WLAN parameters in a profile (see chapter 5.8.1). The WLAN
profile determines the name (SSID) of the WLAN network and other parameters. The
encryption and authentication procedures are especially important and must be planned
carefully beforehand.
