Nortel Networks NN43001-504 Configuring the Telephone Line, Procedure Configuring a telephone line

Continuing configuration through Telnet 161

When the configuration procedure is complete, the NetLink OAI System screen adds a Feature Programming option. Also, the OAI Line Configuration option is replaced by a Telephone Line Configuration option.

Configuring the Telephone Line

Each handset that uses the application features must be configured with its line number and MAC address. The name and extension number of the handset user can be entered. Obtain this information from the handset Planning Worksheet. See "Planning Worksheet for Handsets" (page 171).

The handsets require special configuration. This can include configuring options on the DHCP server or on the handset to allow it to communicate with the WLAN Application Gateway 2246. Be sure these setting are correct. For more information, see WLAN Handsets Fundamentals (NN43001-505).

The system does not allow the same handset to register to two different lines. Press Esc to cancel any unwanted transaction.

Follow the steps in Procedure 19 "Configuring a telephone line" (page 161) to configure the telephone lines for the application.
