SpectraLink Wireless Telephone Configuration
must obtain a unique IP address for each handset from your network administrator.
Default Gateway and Subnet Mask Used to identify subnets, when using a complex network, which includes routers. Both of these must be configured either with an IP address under Static IP (not set to 000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255) or with DHCP for the handset to contact any network components on a different subnet. If configured on the DHCP server, use option 3 for the Default Gateway and option 1 for the Subnet Mask. Contact the network administrator for the proper settings for the network.
SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones cannot roam with uninterrupted service between subnets unless specific LAN components are present. Certain AP/Ethernet switch combinations establish a
Ensure that all your APs are attached to the same subnet for proper operation. The handset can change subnets if DHCP is enabled and the handset is powered off then back on when within range of APs on the new subnet. Note that the wireless telephones cannot “roam” across subnets, since they cannot change IP addresses while operational.
Please see Best Practices for Deploying
TFTP Server IP The IP address of a TFTP server on your network, which holds software images for updating the handsets and contains the handset files. If this feature is configured (not set to
0.0.0.0or 255.255.255.255) with either Static IP configuration or using DHCP option 66 (TFTP server), or the boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the handset will check for newer software each time it is powered on or comes back into range of your network. This check takes only a second and ensures that all handsets in your network are kept
Syslog Server IP The IP address of the syslog server. See the Diagnostic Tools section for more information.
Time Server IP The IP address of the time server.
