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. See
and Operation,
Administration
The following information will help the system administrator set up the SpectraLink
handsets 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.
Link 3000 MCU: Operator’s Console, Link 150 M3 MCU: Installation
or
NetLink Telephony Gateway: Installation, Configuration, and
.
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 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 the system is installed, verify the operating parameters and features on the
Rolm system and sets, and set up template tables to reflect the required parameters
and features for the handsets. Programming will be faster if you determine this
information in advance.
Line Assignment
The handset supports a total of nine line resources. Which lines should ring at this
handset?
Extensions
Which extensions will be assigned to the handsets?
Part Number: 72-0171-13-C.doc Page 5
SpectraLink Corporation LinkPlus Interface Guide
Siemens ROLM PBX System
Message waiting
Does voicemail turn on a message waiting light for this handset?
Class of Service
To which Class of Service should handsets be assigned?
Extension Routing
Where is this handset forwarded on busy/no answer?
Pickup Group
To which group does this handset or group of phones belong?
Programmable Buttons
The handset supports nine features accessed through the FCN key. Determine which
features, if any, should be programmed on the handsets.The Siemens-ROLM
technician will create a template table for each unique button layout.
It may help to identify a wired ROLMPhone 400 set that is programmed exactly or
close to the way the handsets should be programmed. The feature table for this set
can be assigned to the handsets and modified accordingly.
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
of this document to track the port numbers, extensions, users, and features assigned
to handsets.

2.3 The SpectraLink Wireless Telephone Display
The Link Wireless Telephone 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.
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

2.4 Feature Programming Requirements
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 the other designated
line keys identified on the key maps unassigned. The corresponding handset LINE+
key sequences will then have no function.
• Lines 10-19 are not supported on the handset.
Function Sequences
Function sequences are those where the handset user presses the
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.
FCN button and
2.5 Function Menu Programming
Link 3000 MCU
The function menu text defaults for the handsets associated with the Link 3000
MCU can be changed via the SpectraLink Operator’s Console.
Link 150 MCU
For the Link 150 MCU, the handset function menu text can only be changed via
remote configuration through the services of SpectraLink’s Customer Support.
NetLink Telephony Gateways
Function menu text options can be changed in the Administration Console of the
NetLink 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 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
sequence is recommended, but the system administrator can assign the Mute
function to any available function key sequence or leave the function unassigned.
FCN +1. This function

Siemens ROLM PBX System
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.
Speaker Phone
Because the handset has no speaker, speaker-phone function and functions that
require the use of the volume keys will not be made available on the handset. Disable
all speaker-phone features, particularly any hands-free features that activate the
speaker with the telephone on-hook.
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.
