Plan the Interface

The system administrator programs the telephone system for use with
the Wireless Telephone System using the normal administration
terminal or procedures. Programming can be done after the handsets
are registered.

Recommended programming includes assigning extension numbers
to the handsets and programming features on the telephone system so
they are easily accessible from the handsets.

For analog interfaces, macro codes are in the document relating to
configuring the system. See SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Operator’s Console,

SpectraLink 6100 MCU: Installation and Operation, or SpectraLink 8000
Telephony Gateway: Administration Guide for SRP.

The following information will help the system administrator set up
the SpectraLink Wireless Telephones to operate in a way that feels
familiar and comfortable to users.

Plan Programming

Digital Interface programming for the Wireless Telephone System will
be faster if it is planned in advance by verifying the parameters and
features on the current telephone system and wired phones. The
system administrator must assign extension numbers to the handsets
and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features,
ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the handsets.

One of these scenarios concerning how the handsets are programmed
should apply to this site:

• All handsets are programmed alike: All handsets will be

programmed exactly the same. Depending on the capabilities of
the switch, the system administrator can often program one
handset and use it as a model for all other handsets.

• Groups of handsets are programmed alike: Handsets are grouped

PN: 1725-36138-001_E.doc

into classes that are programmed alike. Depending on the
capabilities of the switch, the system administrator can program

LinkPlus Interface Guide: NEC NEAX 2000 and 2400 System

“model” handsets then use the model as a template to program
the other handsets.

• All handsets are different: All handsets are programmed differently,

so each handset will be programmed individually.

Before installation, the parameters of the wired phones should be
verified to plan the parameters required for the handsets.

Line assignment

The handset supports up to nine line resources. Which lines should
ring at this handset and which lines will be selected when the user
goes off-hook?

Line appearances

Should this extension number appear on any other telephone? On
which sets should it ring?

Coverage

Where is this handset forwarded on busy/no answer? Does it belong
to a pickup group?

Toll restrictions

Should any special restrictions be assigned for incoming or outgoing
calls?

Programmable keys

Determine which features, if any, should be programmed on the
handsets. These assignments may emulate assignments on the user's
wired set.

If possible, identify a wired set that is programmed exactly or close to
the way the handsets should be programmed. This set can be used to
copy the programming to the new handsets.

PN: 1725-36138-001_E.doc

Assign Extension Numbers

The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which
port numbers have been designated for the handsets.

The system administrator may use the Extension Assignments
Worksheet at the end of this document to track the port numbers,
extensions, users, and features assigned to handsets.

The Wireless Telephone Display

The SpectraLink Wireless Telephone will display the telephone
number as it is dialed.

The NEAX ETJ-16DC-2 has a two-line by 20 character display. The
handset display is 2 lines by 16 characters; therefore, some NEAX
messages will be truncated when displayed on the handset. The first
two and last two characters will be truncated.

Plan the Interface

Certain characters may be used by the system that are not
implemented in the handset. Flashing characters are not implemented
on the handset, nor is rolling or scrolling of text.

Handset indicators

Line indicators are associated with line access keys. Status indicators
or icons are associated with voicemail, low battery function, other
functions, and service interruption. A left or right arrow is displayed
when the screen can be toggled either left or right to display more
characters.

When lines are programmed as shown on the key-map diagrams, the
numeral icons on the handset display will be mapped to any deskset
LEDs associated with the corresponding feature keys. The line icons
will be displayed as follows:

Line State Handset Line Status Icon State

On-hook Off
Off-hook On
Ringing Fast flash
On hold Slow flash

Feature Programming Requirements

When planning the interface, the following information must be taken
into account:

Line sequences

The handset uses two types of key sequences to access PBX features
and multiple lines. Line sequences are those where the user presses

LINE key and then a number key. The key-map design designates

the
“line” keys that should be programmed for line appearance so that
they correspond to line sequences on the handset.

LINE icon on the handset will reflect activity on the corresponding

The
deskset key. For this reason, it is recommended that line appearance
keys be used only for line access. If only one line is assigned to a
particular handset, leave the other designated line keys identified on
the key maps unassigned. The corresponding handset
sequences will then have no function.

LINE + key

Function sequences

Function sequences are those where the handset user presses the FCN
key and then a number key. Designated “function” deskset keys
programmed to system features such as Transfer and Conference may
have their corresponding menu items display on the handset function
menu. See the key-map diagram for the function keys that are
available for feature programming.

Function Menu Programming

SpectraLink 6300 MCU

The function menu text defaults for the handsets associated with the
SpectraLink 6300 MCU can be changed via the SpectraLink Operator’s
Console.

Plan the Interface

SpectraLink 6100 MCU

For the SpectraLink 6100 MCU, the handset function menu text can
only be changed via remote configuration through the services of
Polycom’s Customer Support.

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways

Function menu text options can be changed in the Administration
Console of the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways.

Hold

The Hold feature should be programmed to the Hold key as shown
on the key-map diagrams so that when the

Hold key or softkey is

pressed on the handset, the call is placed on hold.

Mute

The handset Mute function is hard-coded to FCN +1 on the PTB4xx
handset. This function sequence is recommended, but the system
administrator can assign the Mute function to any available function
key sequence or leave the function unassigned. The SpectraLink 6000
and SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones use a

Mute softkey.

Speakerphone

If a handset such as the PTB 4xx has no speaker, the SPKR and ANS
keys on the ETJ-16DC-2 are not mapped to keys on the handset.

Ring types

Handset ring types (soft, normal, vibrate, etc.) are programmed by the
handset user and are not accessible or changeable by the system
switch. Whenever possible the audible ringer on the handset will
follow the cadence provided by the system switch. Call progress tones
provided by the host system will be passed through to the handset.

Copy settings from a wired set

If possible, copy the settings from a wired telephone with similar
settings and restrictions to a handset. Once this is done, you can
program the options on one handset, then copy the programming to
other handsets or groups of handsets. If your NEC systems are
networked, you may prefer to build each set individually rather than
use the Copy feature.
