Troubleshooting

On occasion, you may run into transmission problems due to any number of factors originating from the wireless LAN. SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones can exhibit transmission problems in several ways. They can cease functioning properly, display error messages, or display incorrect data. When using and troubleshooting handsets, consider the following problem sources to determine the best method of approaching any specific situation.

Access point problems

Most, but not all, handset audio problems have to do with AP range, positioning, and capacity. Performing a site survey as described in this document can isolate the AP causing these types of problems. If the handset itself is suspected, conduct a parallel site survey with a handset that is known to be properly functioning.

In range/out-of-range

Service will be disrupted if a user moves outside the area covered by the wireless LAN APs. Service is restored if the user moves back within range. If a call drops because a user moves out-of-range, the handset may be able to recover the call if the user moves back into range within a few seconds.

Capacity

Basic WMM does not provide the capability of regulating capacity on an AP. If capacity issues are a concern, please consult your service representative.
