Connecting to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway
Connecting via Telnet
In addition to the serial connection described in the previous section, connection to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway may be done via the network using Telnet. Once the IP addresses are configured, every SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway is accessible through a connection to any SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway.
If you do not have a DHCP Server, Telnet can only be used after the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway’s IP address is configured. See the previous section.
The Telnet method of connection is used for routine maintenance of the system for both local and remote administration, depending on your network.
To connect via Telnet, run a Telnet session to the IP address of any SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. Once you connect to any SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and log in, the Gateway Connection Selection screen displays.
Select the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway you wish to administer and press Enter.
The top line of each administration screen displays the hostname and IP address of the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway on which you are currently operating.
Connecting via External Modem
The external modem method of connection is most frequently used for routine maintenance of the system when administration of the system is remotely done, and the network itself is not remotely accessible.
You will need a standard analog phone line for the modem.
(A digital line from a digital PBX will not work.) Consult with your telephone system vendor or the Telephone Company for more information about dialing into a modem.
If needed, the external modem generally should maintain its default settings, except Hardware Flow Control must be disabled.
