2. 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.
and Operation, or NetLink Telephony Gateway: Installation, Configuration, and
Administration.
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.
2.1 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.
See Link 3000 MCU: Operator’s Console, Link 150 M3 MCU: Installation
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 into classes
that are programmed alike. Depending on the capabilities of the switch, the
system administrator can program “model” handsets and 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, review the requirements and parameters of the wired telephones
to plan the settings required for the handsets.
Toll Restrictions
These determine which sets are allowed to make outside calls, and which should be
restricted.
Line/Intercom Features
These determine how lines are accessed by users. Note the settings of Idle Line
Preference and Ringing Line Preference.
Part Number: 72-0171-03-C.doc Page 5
SpectraLink Corporation LinkPlus Interface Guide
Comdial DXP/DX/FX System
Key-mapping
The handset supports programmable buttons for telephone system features.
Determine which button features, if any, should be programmed on the handsets.
Miscellaneous Features
Note the settings for these station features so the handsets can be programmed the
same way. Check whether All-Call and Zone Paging and SOHVA are used, since
these features will need to be disabled on individual handsets.
If possible, identify a wired set that is programmed exactly the way the handsets
should be programmed, or close to that. This set can be used to copy the
programming to the new handsets.
2.2 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.
Part Number: 72-0171-03-C.doc Page 6

2.3 The SpectraLink Wireless Telephone Display
The handset has a two-line, 16-character alphanumeric display.
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.
Although some desksets do not have a display, any display information sent by the
system will be displayed on the handset.
Handset Icons
The line indicators are associated with line access keys. The status indicators are
associated with voicemail (MSG), low battery function (BATT), and service interruption
(NO SVC). In addition, a left or right arrow is displayed when the screen can be
toggled either left or right to display more characters as described above.
Link PTB450 Display
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 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
Part Number: 72-0171-03-C.doc Page 7

Comdial DXP/DX/FX System
2.4 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 the LINE button and then a
number button. The key-map design designates “line” keys that should be
programmed for line appearance so that they correspond to line sequences on the
handset.
The LINE icon on the handset will reflect activity on the corresponding 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 unassigned the other
designated line keys identified on the key maps. The corresponding handset Line+
key sequences will then have no function.
Function Sequences
Function sequences are those where the handset user presses the FCN button and
then a number button. 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.
2.5 Function Menu Programming
Link 3000 MCU
Note that the function menu defaults set for the handsets associated with the Link
3000 MCU can be changed via the SpectraLink Operator’s Console. If the system
uses softkeys, to minimize unwanted interaction between system display and the
handset function menu display, configure the handset menu to include a delay of one
function key. The user will then have to press FCN twice before the handset menu
displays, allowing the first press of the FCN key to access softkey functions. See Link
WTS,
Link 3000 MCU: Operator’s Console
Another option may be to disable the softkey menu at the system level and
exclusively use the SpectraLink menu. This would remove any unwanted interaction,
but might restrict the number of available features to the number of programmable
keys on the handset.
Link 150 MCU
For the Link 150 MCU, the handset function menu can only be changed via remote
configuration through the services of SpectraLink Customer Support.
NetLink Telephony Gateways
Menu options can be changed in the Administration Console of the NetLink
Telephony Gateways. The Delay function is used when the PBX uses softkeys. With
Delay, when the FCN key is pressed, the handset displays the features that are
associated with the softkeys so that one of these features can be selected first. If
Delay is programmed, pressing the FCN key twice will bring up the menus
immediately. Under the menu programming section of the Administration console
for further procedural information.
Part Number: 72-0171-03-C.doc Page 8
SpectraLink Corporation LinkPlus Interface Guide
Comdial DXP/DX/FX System
there is an option to use Delay (same as the Link 3000 MCU). See
Telephony Gateway: Installation, Configuration, and Administration
the NetLink
document for
further details. Also refer to the same document for details on configuring the
telephone switch type
Hold
The Hold feature should be programmed to the Hold key as shown on the Key-map
Diagrams so that when the HOLD button is pressed on the handset, the call is placed
on hold.
Mute
The handset Mute function is hard-coded in the Link WTS to FCN+1. 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.
Voicemail
The message-waiting icon (MSG) on the handset is activated with the message
indication of the deskset. The voicemail feature on the deskset must be assigned to
the feature key as shown in the Key-map Diagrams. Do not assign any other feature
to this key, since the associated LED is directly mapped to the message-waiting icon
on the handset. This LED assignment must be used in order to support the messagewaiting icon. Using this key for any other feature or for line access could cause
unacceptable system performance.
Speakerphone
Because the handset has no speaker, speakerphone function and functions that
require the use of the volume keys will not be made available on the handset.
Intercom
The Intercom button on the 8012S Impact deskset is assigned to the LINE + 9
sequence 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.

3.3 Program Comdial
Program the Comdial for use with the SpectraLink Wireless Telephone System using
a PC Terminal Emulator (VDT) or 8012S. Software versions may vary. As you
program, be sure to read the menus and prompts to see that the commands
correspond to the instructions.
As a precaution, the existing programming should be saved to the PC as a binary file.
This can be done from system COS using Xmodem protocol.
Program Handsets
Copy Settings from a Wired Set
If possible, copy the settings from a wired telephone with similar settings and
restrictions to a SpectraLink Wireless Telephone. Once this is done, you can
program the options on one SpectraLink Wireless Telephone, then copy the
programming to other handsets or groups of handsets.
Station Features for Handset
Program the following features for the handsets:
• Prime Line selects the line that users get when they go off-hook. To give users
an inside dial tone when they go off-hook, assign Intercom as Prime Line.
• Ringing Line Preference controls the way a station answers a ringing line. To
assign outside lines to display at all handsets, but not ring at all handsets, Disable
Direct Ring.
• Toll Restrictions control which lines are allowed to make or receive outside
calls. They are programmed through a series of toll tables, which are then
assigned to lines and stations. If you copied an existing wired set, Toll
Restrictions will be set correctly for the handset.
• The following features should be turned off on handsets:
Line Intercom: Enable Voice Block[formatting of these 3 lines?
SOHVA: Disable
All Call and Zone Paging: Clear
Programmable Buttons
Program the buttons on the handset to correspond with buttons on the wired set.
Copy Programming
After the SpectraLink model Wireless Telephone or handsets have been
programmed, copy the programming to all like SpectraLink Wireless Telephones.
The installer can now test the handsets.
