Software Maintenance

SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones use proprietary software programs written and maintained by Polycom Corporation. The software versions that are running on the handsets can be displayed during power on by holding down the END key.

Polycom Customer Service or an authorized dealer will provide information about software updates and how to obtain the software (for example, downloading from a website).

Upgrading handsets

 

After software updates are obtained from Polycom, they must be

 

transferred to the appropriate location in the LAN to update the code

 

used by the handsets.

 

SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones allow over-the-air transfer of

 

software updates from the designated TFTP server to the handsets.

 

The downloader function in the handset checks its software version

 

every time the handset is turned on. If there is any discrepancy the

 

handset immediately begins to download the update.

Normal download messages

 

When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages

 

indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions,

 

and downloading. The normal message progression is:
