About This Guide

Polycom is the market leader in multi-cellular wireless telephone
systems for the workplace. We manufacture a range of products to
suit any size installation. SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway uses
our LinkPlus digital integration technology to integrate with various
digital switch platforms. Using LinkPlus technology, SpectraLink
e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones emulate digital telephone sets to
deliver advanced capabilities such as multiple line appearances and
LCD display features. This document explains the programming or
administration required to use the host digital switch with the
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and SpectraLink
e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones.

Different models of SpectraLink Wireless Telephones vary in

features of all handsets. However, certain handset or PBX features
may not be supported by your emulation.

Plan the Interface

The system administrator programs the telephone system for use with
the SpectraLink 8000 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 8000 Telephony Gateway:
Administration Guide for SRP.

The following information will help the system administrator set up
the SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones to operate in a
way that feels familiar and comfortable to users.

Plan Programming

Digital Interface programming for the SpectraLink e340/h340/i640
Wireless Telephones 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.

It may also help to identify a key layout that is programmed exactly
or close to the way the handsets should be programmed, and use the
programming for that set as a model for programming the handsets.

Line appearances

The handsets support two line appearances for the Hicom 150/
HiPath 3000 and four line appearances for the Hicom 300/HiPath

4000. Determine what extension numbers will be assigned to the

handsets, which line or lines should ring at which handset; and which
line will be selected when the user goes off-hook.

Programmable feature keys

The handsets support programmable keys as shown in the key-map
diagrams below. Determine which features, if any, should be
programmed on the handsets. Feature keys that are not subject to
programming restrictions (described in the Programming Requirements
section) can be programmed to any optiset feature on the handset and
do not have to match the assignments on the user’s desktop
telephone.

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.
