Cleaning Tips for Wireless Telephones
Wireless Telephones may occasionally need to be cleaned to maintain appearance.
Generally, wiping the handset surface with a clean, water-dampened cloth or paper towel
will remove most films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild
detergent solution may be used. Be sure to wipe away any detergent residue with a plain
water dampened cloth.
DO NOT IMMERSE WIRELESS TELEPHONES IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
The Wireless Telephone may be cleaned with any general-purpose household glass and
surface type cleaner. Spray the cleaner on a soft cloth or paper towel, then wipe the
surface.
DO NOT SPRAY THE HANDSET DIRECTLY.
Pre-treated cloths, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to clean the
Wireless Telephone. Pre-moistened towelettes may also be used. Avoid those containing
lanolin or aloe as it will leave a slippery residue.
The surface of the handset may be cleaned occasionally with disinfectants used for
general cleaning in a medical environment. Isopropyl alcohol may be used occasionally
applied by a damp cloth or paper towel. When using alcohol, do not rub the keypad
characters vigorously. Doing so will significantly degrade legibility.
·
Do not use furniture polishes, waxes or plasticizer-based cleaner
(Armor Allä , etc.)
·
·
·
Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycerin or other skin care type products.
Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits etc.
Do not directly spray or immerse the handset.
Should the headset connector become dirty, a scratchy or intermittent signal may be
experienced. To clean the connector, dip the non-padded end of either a wooden or paper
handled cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol. Gently insert in the connector and twist,
repeating several times. If available, blow compressed air into the connector to clear
debris.

2. Link Wireless Telephone System
Overview
Review this section if you are unfamiliar with the features and operation of the Link
Wireless Telephone System.
2.1 System Operation
The Link Wireless Telephone System (WTS) is a wireless communicationsystem that
offers direct telephone access for incoming and outgoing calls anywhere within a facility.
The Link WTS consists of three basic components: the Master Control Unit (MCU), the
Base Station and SpectraLink Wireless Telephones. This diagram shows an overview of
system. Components are described below.
The Link Wireless Telephone System
·
Master Control Unit (MCU) – serves as the connecting point, or gateway, between
the Base Stations and the existing telephone system. One or more of these boxes
(approximately 12 x 3 x 7 inches) are typically installed in the telephone equipment
room and provide connectivity from the telephone system to the Link Wireless
Telephone System. Each MCU is hard-wired to one or more Base Stations, which in
turn provides the wireless link to each of the Wireless Telephones. The MCU
establishes the connection from the telephone line to the appropriate Base Station in
order to reach a Wireless Telephone.
Part Number: 72-0075-01-C-W.doc

SpectraLink Corporation
Link WTS Installation and Operation
The MCU supports four Base Stations and up to 16 Wireless Telephones. Up to four
Link 150 M3 MCUs can be linked together for extended coverage area. Chained
MCUs support up to 64 Wireless Telephones maximum.
SpectraLink offers an analog MCU that works with telephone systems (CO, PBX or
Key Systems) with analog (loop start) ports. We also offer digital MCUs that work
with the most common brands of telephone systems' (PBX or key systems) digital
ports.
·
Base Stations – act as a radio transceiver to provide the communications signal
between the Wireless Telephone and the MCU. Base Stations are slightly larger than
a smoke detector and are typically mounted on the ceiling, in strategic locations
throughout the facility. A single Base Station can provide radio coverage for an area
of 5,000 to 50,000 square feet depending on building obstructions. Base Stations may
be located up to 2,200 cable feet from the MCU.
When a Wireless Telephone user makes or receives a call, the Wireless Telephone
and Base Station establish a digital radio communication link. As the user moves
around the coverage area, calls are “handed off” to the Base Station that is able to
provide the best radio signal (typically the closest Base Station). These handoffs
involve the Wireless Telephone establishing a communication link with another Base
Station and dropping the previous link.
·
Link Wireless Telephones – communicate with the Base Station using digital
spread spectrum transmission at 902-928 MHz. Employees can carry Wireless
Telephones to keep in contact as they move throughout the building. The Wireless
Telephones use on-premise wireless technology; they are not cellular or satellite
phones. They are connected to the facility's existing telephone system and, just like
wired telephones, can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls to
other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject to the restrictions
applied in your facility.)

3. Site Preparation
3.1 Required Materials
The following equipment must be provided by the customer.
1. Outlet Strip – Recommended for installations with more than one MCU. This
will allow the MCUs to be turned on and off together.
2. Cross-Connect Block – required to connect the telephone switch ports and the
Base Stations to the MCU.
3. 25 Pair Cables – RJ-21 male at MCU end, required to connect the MCU to the
cross-connect blocks.
4. Backboard space – the MCU is designed to be wall mounted to ¾” plywood
securely screwed to the wall.
5. Quick Clip Fuse – Required with an RCO410 Outdoor Base Station or when a
Base Station is located in a separate building from the Link 150 M3 MCU.
Recommended Quick Clip Fuse is available from Illinois Tool Works, Linx
Division, Model # SCP-2X2.
6. Base Station Mounting Hardware – If the Base Stations will be mounted on
finished walls or ceilings, a 4-5" long ¼" bolt, nuts, and washers will be required
for each Base Station mounted.
3.2 Determine Location of MCU
Each MCU is approximately 2.75 inches wide, 12.5 inches high, and 7 inches deep, and
weighs about 5 pounds. The unit is designed to be wall mounted over ¾”plywood.
Select a location for the MCU with sufficient backboard space and an available outlet.
The MCU must be within 2,200 feet of the Base Stations.
All digital interface modules must be within 250 feet of the telephone system.
See your telephone system specifications for distance limitations for analog modules.
Since the front panel is used for cabling and as an operator's console, mount the units so
the front panel is accessible.
If your system has more than one MCU, the units should be mounted
!
vertically, side by side, physically touching the adjacent unit. Do not
stack units on top of one another. Stacked MCUs can cause overheating
and failure.

4.2 Pull Cable
Pull the cable from the MCU location (usually in the telephone equipment room) to the
Base Station locations designated on the floor plans.
If the cabling exits the building, consult the telephone system manual, the
NEC, and local codes for instructions on providing lightning and other over-
current protection.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that
exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse
(Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) before bridging with other
Base Station power leads.
Run all cable before attaching the RJ-45 connectors to the Base Stations. Label both the
demarcation block end and the Base Station end of each wire with the Base Station
number using a wire tie marker or other form of marker.
Remove bridge taps, multiples, or "Y" connections to the Base Station wires;
these will cause data transmission errors.
!
The area above some suspended ceilings is used as an environmental air
plenum. The National Electric Code requires that wire installed in plenums
be rated for plenum installation.
4.3 Terminate Cable at Base Station Locations
After running the wire to the Base Station location, terminate the wire using an RJ-45

If the wiring between the Link 150 M3 MCU and the telephone system
leaves the building, consult your telephone system manual for instructions on
providing adequate lightning and other over-current protection. All MCUs
(except the analog interface SCA-5XX) are intended only for connection to
the isolated side of an on-premise telephone switch. The interfaces are
intended to connect to digital telephone switch ports that provide signals of
5Vp-p (max) AC component and some telephone switches provide a 48 V
DC offset.

4.5 Install Demarc Blocks
The demarcation blocks used to connect the telephone system and Base Stations to the
MCU should be installed on a typical telephone facility backboard. A ½" or ¾" thick
board mounted on the wall near the MCU is typical. Although this manual uses 66-
blocks as examples, any standard cross-connect blocks are acceptable.
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that
exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the Quick Clip Fuse
(Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2) before bridging with other
Base Station power leads.
If the cabling between the MCU and the telephone system leaves the
building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for
instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.
4.6 Assign and Program Ports
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which port numbers have
been designated for the Wireless Telephones and the remote diagnostics modem line.
The system administrator must assign extension numbers to the Wireless Telephones and
plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features, ringing options etc.) to
be programmed for the Wireless Telephones. This programming will be done after the
Wireless Telephones are registered, but will be faster if it is planned in advance by
verifying the parameters and features on the current telephone system and wired phones.
For details, refer to the section of LinkPlus Digital Integration Guide (PN 72-0070-00)
for the type of telephone system for the MCU in use at your location.

4.7 Connect Cables from Base Stations and Phone
Lines to Demarc Blocks
Two-pair twisted cable from Base Stations installed throughout the facility converge at
the demarc block or backboard. Each MCU can support four Base Stations and up to 16
Wireless Telephones. The Base Station and Wireless Telephone cables are punched
down onto the demarc/cross-connect blocks as shown in the demarc block diagrams
below. Refer also to the diagrams in .
Photocopy the Base Station Location Form and Extension Assignments Worksheets
provided in this manual as needed. Use the forms to track the Base Stations and Wireless
Telephone port assignments connected to each MCU. As the installer makes each Base
Station or Wireless Telephone connection, fill in the information on the form to identify
the position of the Base Station or Wireless Telephone (the building and floor number,
for example) and a detailed description of the location (perhaps a room number). A copy
of this form should be posted near the cross-connect block.
Up to four Base Stations can be connected on a single MCU. Each Base
Station uses 2 pair, one for data and one for power.
!
When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with wiring that
exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with fuse protection. One
method is to use a Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division,
SCP-2X2) to provide protection from external wiring.
If the wiring between the MCU and the telephone system leaves the building,
consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes for
instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.

5.3 Install MCUs
Mount MCUs to Wall
The MCUs are designed to be mounted on a backboard of ¾ inch plywood, securely
fastened to the wall. Mount the MCUs vertically, side by side, using 2.75 inch spacing
center-to-center for each unit. Do not stack MCUs on top of one another.
To mount the MCUs:
1. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill four pilot holes, on 2 inch by 12.1-inch centers.
2. If installing only one MCU, insert the #8 x 3/4 inch screws in the pilot holes and
tighten, leaving a 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap from the wall.
3. If installing more than one MCU, the ESD bonding strap(s) must be installed
between adjacent units:
3.1 Remove the screws from the bottom of adjacent units.
3.2 Place the ESD strap over the pilot holes that span two units and hold it
against the plywood backboard.
3.3 Place the star washer on top of the ESD strap.
3.4 Insert the #8 x 3/4 screw and tighten to leave 1/8 to 1/4 inch gap from the
wall.
3.5 Repeat for all ESD straps.
4. Slide the MCU over the screws until it drops in place.
5. Tighten screws fully.

!
2. Plug the AC adapter into a 110VAC outlet or switch on the outlet strip to apply
power to the MCU.
Set Switch Interface Type
The following steps explain how to assign a switch interface type to the MCU. This
procedure must be done in on each MCU.
1. Power on the MCU with the Mode Switch in the NORMAL position.
Because the MCU does not have a switch type assigned, it will alarm (the Error
LED will flash along with Status LEDs 1,2,3,4 and 5). This should take less than
2 minutes.
2. Power off the MCU.
3. Move the Mode Switch to ADMIN and power on the MCU. Within 15 seconds,
Status LEDs 2 and 4 will light.
4. Press the STEP button three times.
Status LEDs 1, 2 and 4 must be lit. Line LEDs 1 through 8 (indicating an
unconfigured MCU) should also be lit.
If any other combination of Line LEDs is lit, then a switch type has already been
selected. Go to step 5 to pick the desired switch type.
5. Press the DEL/ENTER button to select the correct switch interface type. With
each press of the DEL/ENTER button, a different series of Line LEDs will be lit.
Continue to press DEL/ENTER until the correct Line LEDs are lit. Use the
following list to select the desired switch interface.

7. The MCU will cycle through diagnostic testing. When the system is ready for
use, the error LED should be off, and the LED for the MCU Number (1-4) will be
lit. This should take less than two minutes.
If the LED for the MCU ID does not light, or if an MCU ID is duplicated, there is
most likely a problem with the IPC cabling. If the system displays an error refer
to 8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes.
8. If you select a switch type that is not supported by the MCU type, the system will
alarm. The Error LED will flash along with Status LEDs 4 and 5. For example,
this alarm will display if you assign switch type NEC to an SCB-5XX –
Executone MCU.
If this alarm displays, use the table above to verify that your MCU type supports
the selected switch type. If you need to change the switch type, repeat steps 2
through 6.

5.4 Install Base Stations
Be sure the Base Station is positioned clear of anything that might damage it. The Base
Station should be well above head height, away from doors and other objects that might
strike it, and away from areas open to the elements or possible water leaks.
Check your locationfor other radio antenna devices and place the Base Stations to avoid
interference. Leave enough slack wire (approximately 25 feet) to account for possible
future Base Station moves.
Mount Base Stations on Dropped Tile Ceilings
A ceiling clip and plastic bolt are supplied to install Base Stations on the drop ceiling
rails (T-bars) used to support acoustical tile. The plastic bolt screws into the top of the
Base Station, then snaps into the ceiling clip which has been attached to the rails that hold
the acoustical tile. The fastener is designed for use on 15/16" wide rails.
1. Attach the metal fastener to the rail (T-bar) supporting the dropped ceiling by
rotating it into position until it snaps into the locked position.
2. Screw the plastic bolt to the 1/4 x 20 captive nut into the top of the Base Station.
3. Slide the bolt into the exposed prongs of the metal clip until it snaps into position.
4. When properly attached the Base Station should sit almost flush against the
ceiling and be tightly attached to the clip and T-bar grid work.
5. Once the Base Station is anchored to the fastener, lift the acoustical tile and plug
the RJ-45 8-pin modular plug into the connector on the top of the Base Station.
·
The LED will blink red and green as the system software downloads to the
Base Station and the Base Station is tested.
·
·
When the LED blinks amber, the system is ready for operation.
When the LED blinks green, a telephone has established a radio link with that
Base Station.
·
If the LED turns solid red, there should be an error message on the MCU's
status LEDs. Refer to 8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes.

Outdoor Base Stations are equipped with a protective enclosure, designed to be mounted to
a wall or pole. After the enclosure is mounted, the Base Station is inserted in the enclosure
and connected.
Only RCO Base Stations can be used outdoors.
!
The customer's wire contractor is responsible for wiring and mounting the outdoor Base
Station enclosure. The contractor is responsible for supplying screws, brackets, and other
appropriate hardware.
Wire and Connect Outdoor Base Stations
If the wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an
outdoor Base Station location or to reach a Base Station in another
building—it should be equipped with primary protection according to the
National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes.
Wiring that exits the building must also be fuse protected at both ends. For
example, use a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division,
model number SCP-2X2. Insert the Quick Clip fuses in place of bridging
clips on a 66 Block for the non-internal Base Station circuits.
1. Mount the outdoor Base Station enclosure to a wall or pole. The enclosure should
be attached at the highest point available that will provide central coverage for the
outdoor area.
2. Insert the Base Station cable through the compression fitting and tighten the
fitting.
3. Wire the Base Station connector just as you wired the RJ-45 connectors for the
indoor Base Stations.
4. Place the Base Station inside the enclosure with the part number label facing the

6. Connect and Register Wireless
Telephones
6.1 Set Up Diagnostic Modem
Each MCU has an internal modem feature that allows SpectraLink technicians to dial into
the system for troubleshooting and maintenance. The modem is enabled on Line 1 when
no Wireless Telephone is registered to Line 1. When enabled, the modem will
autoanswer an incoming call to that line.
This internal modem uses proprietary communication software. You cannot
!
use commercial software packages to access this software. If you have a
multiple MCU system, you only need to enable one modem line, on Line 1
of MCU 1. Line 1 positions on the other MCUs can be used for Wireless
Telephones.
To set up the diagnostic modem:
1. Connect an analog Direct Inward Dial (DID) line to Analog Interface MCUs
(SCA-5XX) or a digital DID line to Digital Interface MCUs.
2. Move the mode switch to the REGISTER position. The LED for Line 1 should be
off, indicating that no Wireless Telephone is registered to Line 1. If the LED is
on then a Wireless Telephone is registered to the line. Refer to 6.3 Unregister
Wireless Telephones.
3. Dial the number associated with the DID line. After one or two rings, you should
hear high-pitched modem answer tone.
6.2 Register Wireless Telephones
Before a Wireless Telephone can be used it must be registered to a line on one of the
MCUs. While Wireless Telephones are being registered, the system will continue normal
operation.
Use the Wireless Telephone Planning Worksheet filled out by the system administrator to
be sure you are correctly assigning each Wireless Telephone to its port and extension
number.
All lines are unregistered when shipped from the factory. However, if you are replacing
a failed MCU you may not need to register the Wireless Telephones. Refer to 8. System
Administration for details.
Line 1 MCU 1 should be skipped to allow for remote access through the
!
diagnostic modem.
Each MCU supports eight simultaneous conversations. To optimize
performance and reduce the possibility of call blocking, distribute the
Wireless Telephones evenly across all MCUs.

If the LED is off, no Wireless Telephone is registered to the line.
3. Press the STEP button until the LED for the line to be registered flashes.
·
·
·
If the LED is flashing, that line is selected. A flash with the LED mainly off
indicates no Wireless Telephone registered; a flash with the LED mainly on
indicates a Wireless Telephone is registered to the selected line.
Initially Line 2 will flash. This is because Line 1 is usually set up as the
remote access diagnostic modem. To register a Wireless Telephone to Line 1,
press the STEP button until Line 1 flashes.
If the desired line alreadyhas a Wireless Telephone registered to it, follow the
procedure outlined below to unregister the Wireless Telephone, then return to
this step.
4. Turn on the Wireless Telephone to be registered by holding down the PWR key
until the Wireless Telephone beeps twice. After a few seconds, the line indicator
LED on the MCU will shine solid red. Once the Wireless Telephone is registered,
the LED for the next line begins to flash.
5. To assign the extension number, hold down the FCN key until Volume Level
displays. Press the # > key (NEXT) until EXTENSION displays on the Wireless
Telephone. Press 0, then enter the correct extension number. Press END when
finished.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all Wireless Telephones to be registered.
7. When all Wireless Telephones are registered, return the mode switch to the
NORM position.
6.3 Unregister Wireless Telephones
If the desired line already has a Wireless Telephone registered to it, follow this procedure
to unregister the Wireless Telephone.
1. Move the mode switch on the MCU to the REGISTER position. If your system
has more than one MCU, be sure to move the switch on the correct MCU. The
line indicator LEDs now show which lines have Wireless Telephones registered.

8.2 Troubleshoot Phone Features
If Wireless Telephone features are not working properly, disconnect the Wireless
Telephone from the MCU and plug a wired telephone into the port. The telephone should
be the same type as the emulated telephone. Refer to the appropriate section of LinkPlus
Digital Integration Guide for more details.
Test the features on the wired telephone.
·
For analog MCUs, verify that feature access codes and switchhook flash work
correctly.
·
For digital MCUs, verify that features are assigned to the correct keys and are
working properly. Refer to the appropriate section of LinkPlus Digital Integration
Guide for button mapping information for the brand of telephone system at your
location.
Certain four-wire telephones (such as MERLIN LEGEND) use a different
connector on the phone than on the back of the MCU. Therefore you may
need phone cord or an adapter to perform these tests.

11. Appendix A: Technical Parameters
11.1 Select Alternate Spread Spectrum Sequence
The SpectraLink system uses spread spectrum radio transmission. Spread spectrum takes
a discrete signal, such as a digitized voice conversation, and spreads it over a wide range
of frequencies rather than transmitting at a single carrier frequency. The frequency range
may need to be adjusted if other wireless devices in your facility, such as data terminals
or bar code readers, share the same frequency band.
Units shipped from the factory are preset to operate on sequence 1, which spans the entire
spectrum from 902MHz to 928MHz. If interference between the SpectraLink system and
other 900MHz radio devices is anticipated or observed, any one of six alternate
sequences can be selected.
Determine the frequency band of the interfering device, then use the frequency ranges
below (given in MHz) to select the best interference avoidance pattern for the situation.

908-922
To change a system to an alternate sequence, perform the following steps for EACH
MCU.
1. Wait for any calls in progress to end. Power the system OFF, then slide the mode
switch to the REGISTER position.
2. Power the system ON. Status LEDs 5 and 1 should be lit, indicating frequency
selection mode. One of the line LEDs from 1 to 7 will be indicating the current
frequency selected for the MCU.
3. Use the STEP button to select the desired new sequence.
4. Press the DEL/ENTER button. The LED indicates the new frequency that has
been selected.
5. Return the mode switch to the NORM position.
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for each MCU of a multi-unit installation.

11.2 Change Companding
The factory setting on the Link 150 M3 MCU is compatible with Mu-law companding
(signal compression), which is the standard used by most PBXs in North America.
Systems outside North America generally use A-law companding. If the PBX
companding is incompatible with the MCU's, the Wireless Telephones will have distorted
or hissing dial tone and voice will be unintelligible.
·
Before you begin, if the system has more than one MCU, erase the configurations
from all MCUs except MCU 1. Refer to 8.5 Replace an MCU for instructions.
To change the default from Mu- to A-law on the Link 150 M3 MCU follow these steps.
1. Power the system OFF.
2. Slide the mode switch on the first MCU to the ADMIN position.
3. Power the system ON. Status LEDs 2, 3, and 4 will be solid green.
4. Press the STEP button once. Status LEDs 2, and 5 will be lit.
5. If the LED for LINE 1 is lit, the system is set for Mu-law.
If the LED for LINE 2 is lit, the system is set for A-law.
6. Press the DEL/ENTER button to toggle between Mu-law and A-law.
7. When the correct LINE LED is lit, return the mode switch to the NORM position.

12. Appendix B: Program Analog Features
12.1 Defining Macros
On an analog telephone system, telephone system features such as transfer, hold, or speed
dial are usually accessed via key presses or hook flashes. The Link Wireless Telephone
System allows these features to be customized using system macros. These features can
then be accessed from all Wireless Telephones by pressing FCN followed by a digit. The
macro definitions are the same for all Wireless Telephones in the system.
For example, suppose your telephone system uses FLASH * 7 to transfer a call. On the
Link Wireless Telephone System, you can assign the transfer function to FCN 2. When
the Wireless Telephone user presses FCN followed by2, the telephone system will enter
the transfer function. Using macros instead of complicated key presses makes it easier
for users to remember and access features.
Do not program analog features on a digital system.
!
Macro definitions are made up of combinations of the following characters:
0 to 9
TheWireless Telephone keys numbered 0 to 9
TheWireless Telephone # key
TheWireless Telephone * key
Flash
#
*
F
S
Pause 65 milliseconds
The Link Wireless Telephone System will accept programming for eleven functions. The
maximum number of key entries for each function is 20.
Open Application Interface
For digital and analog systems with Open Application Interface (OAI) software, the user
may press FCN key sequences to access certain applications. Macro assignments are also
used to assign a function key to initiate an OAI application.
12.2 Plan Programming
Before programming the features, review the manual for your telephone system to
determine what keystrokes are used to access the desired functions. Then determine
which function key numbers should be assigned to these functions on the Link Wireless
Telephone System.

12.3 Program Macro Codes
Functions are defined by placing an Administrative Call using the Administrative
Wireless Telephone (registered to Line 2 of MCU 1). Follow these steps to place an
administrative call and define functions.
In multi-unit installations, be sure all MCUs are properly connected to one
another before making an administrative call.
!
1. On the MCU that displays a box ID of 1, move the mode switch to the ADMIN
position.
2. Press the START key on the administrative Wireless Telephone (the Wireless
Telephone registered to MCU 1, line 2). This is the only Wireless Telephone
enabled to make the administration call.
3. When you hear a steady tone (not a dial tone), the Wireless Telephone is in an
administrative call and is ready to program.
4. Press the FCN key followed by the key strokes used to access the function. Valid
keys are 0-9, *,#, START (flash), and FCN (pause). Note that FCN + 1 is reserved
for Mute.
5. Press the function key sequence to be programmed. If a key sequence is
incorrectly entered, go to the next step.
6. Press the END key to complete the programming of the function. Repeat steps 4-
7 for all remaining functions or to reprogram a function to correct an input error.
7. Return the mode switch to the NORM position.
The line LEDs now indicate line status and the administrative Wireless Telephone can
now place calls normally.

12.4 Examples of Programming
Transfer:
On your telephone system, the Transfer feature is accessed using Flash * 7. On the
Wireless Telephone, Transfer will be accessed using FCN 2.
With the Mode switch in the ADMIN position, key in the following sequence on the
Administrative Wireless Telephone:
START,FCN, 2
START(flash),*,7,END
Speed Dial:
You want FCN 4 to dial 555-1234. The system must access an outside line by dialing 9
and wait for dial tone, then dial the call. Key in the following sequence on the
Administrative Wireless Telephone:
START,FCN,4
9,FCN(pause),FCN(pause),5,5,5,1,2,3,4,END
The number of pause entries depends upon how quickly your telephone system
accesses outside dial tone.
Clear or Erase A Function:
You want to clear FCN 5 from memory. Key in the following:
START,FCN,5,END
Remember that when you change or delete a function using the Administrative Wireless
Telephone, you will change or delete that function on all Wireless Telephones.

To test the Wireless Telephones:
·
If this is a new installation, continue with Wireless Telephone registration and PBX
programming, and perform the usual voice and coverage tests when Wireless
Telephone installation is complete.
·
·
If you added the OAI Telephony Gateway to an existing system, place a call and test
the features on each Wireless Telephone to be sure the system is working properly.
Test the application on each Wireless Telephone. The SD and RD LEDs should be on
when the OAI Telephony Gateway is communicating with the server (at least every
30 seconds). Consult your application provider for specific test procedures.
