2.If the AP is already in use, note the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and WEP settings:
a.From the main menu select Setup > Ethernet > Identification to display or modify current settings for IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway.
b.From the main menu select Setup > AP Radio > Hardware to display or modify current settings for ESSID and frequency.
c.From the main menu select Setup> Security > Radio Data Encryption (WEP) > Accept Authentication Types to display or modify current settings for encryption.

If you are concerned whether default values will affect any operation of your existing WLAN please consult SpectraLink Customer Support for specific field default values that we recommend.
a.From the main menu select Setup > Ethernet > Advanced >Restore Defaults.
b.From the main menu select Setup > AP Radio > Advanced >Restore Defaults.
4.If 2 Mb/s support is desired:
a.Navigate to Data Rates: 2.0.

5.Navigate to the appropriate menu and enter the IP addressing, subnet mask, default gateway, ESSID, and frequency information.
It is recommended that the AP allow the broadcast of ESSIDs to simplify the configuration of SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones. SpectraLink terms this function Automatic Learn. If there are overlapping WLAN areas at your site, the Automatic Learn function may not work properly in the areas that receive signals from two or more APs.
Sites with heightened security issues may not want ESSID broadcast enabled. If it is not enabled, the ESSID must be programmed into every handset.
