5. Using the Handset Administration Tool

The Handset Administration Tool uses indicators to alert you to the status of the action being performed.
Green – the adjacent label is “true” and this state is desirable or required.
Yellow – the adjacent label is “true” and this state requires caution or attention.
For example, a yellow New folder indicator cautions that the file path will be created. A yellow File exists indicator cautions that the file will be overwritten.
Red – the adjacent label is “true” and this state is undesirable or is accompanied
by an error (in which case a message on the prompt line or a dialog box will describe the nature of the error).
Gray – the adjacent label is not “true”. E.g. the handset is not connected.
Blinking – file status indicators blink yellow when the file status is being queried
but is not yet known (for example: when attempting to access slow drives or unresponsive network devices). File status indicators blink red when the path is invalid (mistyped). The Handset indicator blinks when the handset’s password needs to be entered.
A prompt line at the bottom of the window provides information about what action should be taken or the status of the utility.

5.1 Connecting the Handset

After software updates are obtained from SpectraLink, they must be transferred to the Link 3000 MCU by SpectraLink Customer Service or an authorized dealer.
END button. If
With over-the-air downloading (OTAD), the download function in the Link 6020 handset checks its software version periodically during normal operation. If there is any discrepancy the handset immediately begins to download the update from the MCU. This normally takes less than a minute. During the download, the downloader icon displays on the status bar. While memory is being erased and reprogrammed
Do Not Power Off displays in the text area of the handset.
When the update is complete, the handset reboots. The handset displays the extension number once it is ready for use.
Download failure or recovery messages
If the software downloaded from the MCU is incompatible with the handset hardware, the handset displays the incompatible software icon on the status bar. The handset does not load incompatible software into memory. It remains operational running the pre-existing software and the incompatible software icon remains on until the handset is power cycled and the handset software on the MCU is corrected.
