Step Action

1From the Main Menu, select Settings > System Settings > WiFi > Wireless Settings, and OK.

2Select the desired configuration options to set the Wireless networking parameters. The configuration options contained in the Wireless Settings menu are as follows:

a.Details: Display network information for the wireless router or access point currently in use by the IP Phone 1535.

b.Wi-Fi Scanning: Search for available wireless routers in the area and report whether encryption is enabled on the available routers.

c.ESSID:Manually assign the SSID value to be used by the IP Phone 1535 to connect to the wireless network. If the wireless router is configured to hide (or not broadcast) SSID information, you must use the ESSID option must be used to enter the SSID information manually. Manually setting the SSID information using the ESSID configuration option also requires that you configure either the Encryption or the Authentication option as well. From the Main Menu, Settings > System Settings > WiFi > Wireless Settings, and then select either Encryption or Authentication (as dictated by local network settings).

d.Channel ID: Assign a manual value to specify the Wi-Fi channel ID to be used in connecting the IP Phone 1535 to the wireless network.

e.Encryption: WEP encryption key entry (see previous notes for ESSID).

f.Authentication: The IP Phone 1535 utilizes the WPA2 authentication method.

—End—

After you successfully connect the IP Phone 1535 to the network using the WiFi connection interface, you make both voice and video calls using that interface and the LAN profile becomes disabled. So, in this example, when you enable the WiFi connection profile, all voice and video calls made using the IP Phone 1535 will now be made through the WiFi connection to the network, and the LAN connection profile will be disabled (along with all menu selections associated with configuring the LAN connection profile).
