IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Follow these general precautions while installing telephone equipment:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations.
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has
been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines
• When installing Base Stations outside or in buildings other than the one containing the
System Controller, take the following precaution:
If 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—the wiring must be
protected at both ends by a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division,
model number SCP-2X2. The Quick Clip Fuse replaces the bridging clips on the 66
blocks for all four connections to the non-internal Base Station.

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 Fileexists 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
1. The first window prompts you to insert a handset into the Dual Charger. The tab
labels describe each of the available functions.
2. Insert the handset into the Dual Charger.. When the handset is inserted for the
first time, the password must be entered.

The default password is 123456. If you select the Rememberpassword check
box, the password is retained as the default password for all handsets. Unique
passwords for each handset are not remembered.
4. Click the Submit button
5. When a connection is established between the program and the handset, the
Handset connected indicator turns green and Connected displays on the prompt
line. The handset is now ready for configuration.

5.3 Error Information
The Error info tab provides a utility to assist the SpectraLink Customer Service team
to troubleshoot handset errors. When directed by Customer Service, this utility
enables you to save any errors as a file which can then be sent to SpectraLink for
handling.
Use the Browse button to establish the path and then enter the filename. Future
saves will point to this same location as the default so that the same file may be
overwritten if desired. The File time window displays the modification timestamp of
the file in the Save…as window.
Save the file by clicking the Getfile button. The file will be copied from the handset
to the location. The Read/Write indicators will reflect the action as it occurs. File
transfer progress is shown by a progress indicator above the prompt line.
This sample screen shows a new file being created in an existing folder.
5.4 Software Updates
The Firmware tab allows you to update the software in the handset by copying it
from a location on your computer to the handset memory.

The Link 6020 Wireless Telephones use proprietary software programs written and
maintained by SpectraLink Corporation. The software versions that are running on
the handsets can be displayed during power on by holding down the
using the Handset Administration Tool, the version displays under the Firmware tab
in the handset ver window.
Obtaining software updates
SpectraLink Customer Service or an authorized dealer will provide information
about software updates and how to obtain the software (for example, downloading
updates from a website.)
Upgrading handsets via the Handset Administration Tool
See Section 5.4
Software Updates.
Upgrading handsets via over-the-air downloading (Link 3000 WTS only)
After software updates are obtained from SpectraLink, they must be transferred to
the Link 3000 MCU by SpectraLink Customer Service or an authorized dealer.

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.
