2. NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone Overview
The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone is a mobile handset for workplace IP telephone systems. NetLink Wireless Telephones operate over an 802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users a wireless voice over IP (VoIP) extension. By seamlessly integrating with the Mitel IP telephony system, NetLink Wireless Telephone users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace. The NetLink Wireless Telephone gives users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while providing all the features and functionality of an IP desk phone.
The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone provides a wireless extension to the Mitel Networks 3300 and SX-200 ICP VoIP solutions. The NetLink Wireless Telephone supports the MiNET protocol, a proprietary protocol developed by Mitel Networks for communication between a Mitel Networks IP phone and a Mitel Networks PBX.
The NetLink Wireless Telephones reside on the wireless LAN with other wireless devices using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to 11Mb/s.
2.1 QoS and Security
The NetLink SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN device that works with the access points (APs) to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. Voice packets to and from the NetLink Wireless Telephones are intercepted by the NetLink SVP Server and encapsulated for prioritization as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server or gateway. See the NetLink SVP Server: Installation, Configuration and Administration document for detailed information about this device.
The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11 specification. SpectraLink offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.
NetLink Wireless Telephones support basic WMM™ (Wi-Fi Multimedia) if also supported by the AP as part of the 802.11e protocol. If the AP supports WMM, the handset automatically discovers and uses it. WMM does not replace the NetLink SVP Server.
NetLink Wireless Telephones also support the 802.11i protocol including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA™ and WPA2™)—PSK. As vendors introduce access points that are eligible to become Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ for WPA-PSK and/or WPA2­PSK, SpectraLink will determine their compatibility with the NetLink Wireless Telephones and include them on the NetLink Wireless Telephone Access Point Compatibility Table.
The latest software versions are required to support the features described
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 5
in this document.
2.2 Quick Start Guide
1. A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of
802.11b APs listed on the NetLink Wireless Telephone Access Point Compatibility matrix.
2. A TFTP Server must be available on the network in order to load the
appropriate software into the NetLink Wireless Telephones. See the License Management section for detailed instructions for loading software on NetLink Wireless Telephones.
3. The supported Mitel Networks VoIP solution must be connected to your
network and completely operational.
4. The NetLink SVP Server, which facilitates the QoS on the wireless LAN for the
NetLink Wireless Telephones, must be on the same subnet as the NetLink Wireless Telephones and have the proper versions of software. Ensure you have the following versions for the SVP Server: 173 svp100.toc 174 zvmlinux 175 flashfs
5. Visit http://www.spectralink.com/service/software.php to download the latest
NetLink Wireless Telephone and any updates to the NetLink SVP Server software.
6. Install the correct NetLink Wireless Telephone software and any updates to the
NetLink SVP Server software per Section 5.2 Configuration Process for the NetLink Wireless Telephones and per NetLink SVP Server Installation, Setup and Maintenance section 6.1 Software Updates for the NetLink SVP Server. Ensure the software is properly loaded on the TFTP server.
7. Configure your NetLink Wireless Telephone to ensure that it is associated with
the wireless LAN, has the appropriate software, and has the correct IP address for the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system. See the License Management section and the NetLink Wireless Telephone Configuration section for detailed instructions for loading software onto and configuring NetLink Wireless Telephones.
IP multicast addresses are used by the NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone.
This requires that multicasting be enabled on the subnet used for the NetLink Wireless Telephones and SVP Server.
Routers are typically configured with filters to prevent multicast traffic from flowing outside of specific domains. The wireless LAN can be placed on a separate VLAN or subnet to reduce the effects of broadcast and multicast traffic from devices in other network segments.

2.4 System Components
NetLink e340/h340 Wireless Telephone: The NetLink e340/h340 Wireless Telephone is a lightweight, durable handset specifically designed for mobile workplace use within a facility using the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system and 802.11b APs in a wireless LAN.
NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone: The NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone offers a durable design with push-to-talk functionality.
Handset functionality is provided by emulating the Mitel Networks 5220 IP Phone. Among other features, the handset can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject to the restrictions applied in your facility.) The handsets are to be used on-premises; they are not cellular or satellite phones.
NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones use Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum radio technology (DSSS) to transmit audio packets over wireless LAN APs that support SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP).
NetLink SVP Server: SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is the SpectraLink quality of service (QoS) mechanism that is implemented in the handset and AP to enhance voice quality over the wireless network. SVP gives preference to voice packets over data packets on the wireless medium, increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted efficiently and with minimum or no delay. SVP is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standards.
The NetLink SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN appliance that works with the AP to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. All MiNET packets to and from the NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones pass through the NetLink SVP Server and are encapsulated for prioritization as they are routed to and from the supported Mitel Networks VoIP solution or other handset.
Mitel Networks IP System: Mitel Networks 3300 or SX-200 ICP VoIP solution.
Access Points: (APs) are supplied by third party vendors and provide the
connection between the wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11b) LAN. APs must be positioned in all areas where NetLink Wireless Telephones will be used. The number and placement of APs will affect the coverage area and capacity of the wireless system. Typically, the requirements for use of NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones are similar to that of wireless data devices.
APs must utilize SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact SpectraLink, or a certified SpectraLink distributor, for information about APs that support SVP.
Ethernet Switch: Interconnects multiple network devices, including the NetLink SVP Server, the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system, Mitel Networks IP Phones and the APs. Ethernet switches provide the highest performance networks, which can handle combined voice and data traffic, and are required when using the NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones.
Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the handsets and the NetLink SVP Server can operate in larger, more complex networks, including networks with multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs, and/or multiple subnets,
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 8
as long as the SVP Server and APs are on the same subnet. However, in such networks, it is possible for the QoS features of the NetLink SVP Server to be compromised, and voice quality may suffer. Any network that consists of more than a single Ethernet switch should be thoroughly tested to ensure any quality issues are detected.
Note that the NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones cannot actively roam from one subnet to another. If routers and multiple subnets are in use, the NetLink Wireless Telephones must only use APs attached to a single subnet, or be powered off and back on to switch to a different subnet.
Mitel Networks IP Phone: The wired LAN desksets provided by Mitel Networks for use with the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system.
TFTP Server: Required in the system to distribute software to the handsets. May be on a different subnet than the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony device(s) and APs.

3.4 Handset Modes
Standby (on-hook)
In the standby mode the handset is waiting for an incoming call or for the user to place an outgoing call. The extension number is shown on the display and there is no dial tone. In this mode, the handset is conserving battery power and wireless LAN bandwidth.
When an incoming call occurs the handset will ring until the call is answered by pressing the Start Call key or the End Call key is pressed to silence the ringing.
Predial
To place a call using predialing (cell phone dialing), dial the number while in standby mode and then press Start Call. This transitions the handset to active off-hook mode and the number is immediately called.
Active (off-hook)
To place a call, press the Start Call key. This transitions the Wireless Telephone to active off-hook mode. There is a dial tone, the Wireless Telephone is in communication with the PBX, and the display shows information as it is received from the PBX. The user may place a call or press the FCN or LINE key to access operations.
The Wireless Telephone is also in the active mode when a call is received.
When an incoming call occurs during an active call the handset will play the second line ringing sound until the call is answered, the caller hangs up, or the call transfers to voicemail. If End Call is pressed, the first call is terminated and the handset reverts to a full ring.
The active modes utilize the most bandwidth and battery power. To conserve these resources, return the handset to the standby mode when a call is completed by pressing the End Call key.
Active (on-hook)
To transition from the standby mode to the active on-hook mode, press the MENU key. In this mode, the handset displays the text display as seen on an idle 5220 IP phone, usually the date and time. There is no dial tone. The user may press the
FCN
or LINE key to access all operations available from the active off-hook mode.
When an incoming call occurs the handset will ring loudly until the call is answered or the End Call key is pressed. If an active key is pressed, the ring will convert to the second-line ringing sound.
If there is no activity for 45 seconds, to conserve bandwidth and battery power the handset will return to the standby mode.

If the 3300 ICP software version in use is below 5.1, select Enable 5220 to allow Mitel Networks to recognize the NetLink Wireless Telephone as a 5220 IP Phone.
OAI On/Off
SpectraLink’s Open Application Interface (OAI) enables third-party computer applications to display alphanumeric messages on the handset display and take input from the handset keypad. Refer to the Open Application Interface (OAI) Specification documentation for information about administering the OAI Gateway and the services it can provide.
If you have an OAI Gateway installed in your system, OAI may be optionally enabled in each handset. You may select whether the handset should attempt to connect to the SpectraLink OAI Gateway by choosing either the Enable or Disable options in this menu.
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 19
If OAI is enabled, and an OAI IP address is available to the telephone (either via DHCP or Static IP configuration), the telephone will communicate with the OAI Server at power on, and periodically while it is powered on. If you don’t have a SpectraLink OAI Gateway installed at your site, you should disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery life.
Push-to-talk
All eight push-to-talk channels are allowed by default. To toggle the allowed status of any channel, select Allowed Channels, scroll to the channel to be disallowed and press the Select side button. Allowed channels are displayed with an * in the left column. Only those channels allowed in the Admin menu will appear on the Standby menu where they can be enabled or disabled by the end user. To disallow push-to-talk entirely, select Allow/Disallow, scroll to and select Disallow PTT.
Admin Password
The Admin Password controls access to the administration functions in the Admin menu. The password must be set in each handset for which controlled access is desired. Handsets are shipped without any Admin menu password. Data entry for the password uses the alphanumeric string entry technique. Type the password and press the Save softkey. A confirmation prompt will appear. Type the password again and press the Save softkey. If the passwords match, the Admin password has been set.
Network Config IP Addresses
There are two modes in which the handset can operate: DHCP enabled or Static IP. Select the mode from the IP address menu:
* Use DHCP: Will use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol to assign an IP
address each time the handset is turned on. If DHCP is enabled, the handset also receives all other IP address configurations from the DHCP server.
Static IP: Allows you to manually set a fixed IP address. If selected, the handset
will prompt for the IP addresses of each configurable network component. When entering addresses, enter the digits only, including leading zeroes. No periods are required.
Regardless of the mode in which the handset is operating, the following components must be configured in the system:
Phone IP: The IP address of the handset. This is automatically assigned if DHCP
is used. If using Static IP configuration, you must obtain a unique IP address for each phone from your network administrator.
TFTP Server IP: The IP address of a TFTP server on your network which holds
software images for updating the handsets. If this feature is configured (not set to 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255) either via Static IP configuration or using DHCP option 66 (TFTP Server), or the Boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the handset will check for newer software each time it is powered on or comes back
If you Save with no entry, the password is erased and the display will not require it before displaying the Admin menu.
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 20
into range of your network. This check takes only a second and ensures that all handsets in your network are kept up-to-date with the same version of software.
Default Gateway and Subnet Mask: Used to identify subnets, when using a complex
network which includes routers. Both of these must be configured either with an IP address under Static IP (not set to 000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255) or with DHCP for the handset to contact any network components on a different subnet. If configured on the DHCP server, use option 3 for the Default Gateway and option 1 for the Subnet Mask. Contact your network administrator for the proper settings for your network.
Note that the handsets cannot “roam” across subnets, since they cannot
change their IP address while operational. Ensure that all your access points are attached to the same subnet for proper operation. The handset can change subnets if DHCP is enabled and the handset is powered off then back on when within range of access points on the new subnet.
Syslog Server IP: The IP address of the syslog server. See the Diagnostics section
for more information.
SVP Server IP: The IP address of the NetLink SVP Server. If using Static IP
configuration, this is simply the IP address of the NetLink SVP Server. Note that the NetLink SVP Server must be statically configured to have a permanent IP address. If DHCP is being used, the handset will try the following, in order: the DHCP option 151, then a DNS lookup of “SLNKSVP2” if the DHCP options 6 (DNS Server) and 15 (Domain Name) are configured.
ESSID
RTC IP Addr: The IP address of the primary Mitel Networks device. If using Static
IP configuration, this is simply the IP address of the device. If DHCP is being used, the handset will try to obtain the device’s IP address and port information using the following DHCP options: 129.
OAI Server IP: The IP address of the SpectraLink OAI Gateway (if applicable). If
using Static IP configuration, this is simply the IP address of the SpectraLink OAI Gateway. If DHCP is being used, the handset will try the DHCP option
152.
Select the option that will enable the handset to acquire APs with the correct ESSID (Extended Service Set ID, aka SSID) each time it is turned on.
Note about Automatic Learn options: Broadcast ESSID must be enabled in the access points for ESSID learning to function. Refer to the Configuration Note for your access point or call your access point vendor for specifics. Overlapping wireless systems complicate the use of ESSID learning as the handset in an overlapping area could receive conflicting signals. If this is the situation at your site, use Static Entry or Learn Once in an area without overlapping ESSIDs.
* Learn Once: Allows the handset to scan all ESSIDs for a DHCP server and/or
TFTP server. Once either is found, the handset retains the ESSID from whichever access point it associates with at that point. When overlapping wireless systems exist, the Learn Once feature allows the handset to use only the ESSID established at first learn at all subsequent power ons. This ESSID is retained by the handset until the ESSID option is reselected.
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 21
Learn Always: Allows the handset to automatically learn the ESSID at each power
on or loss of contact with the wireless LAN (out of range). This may be useful if the handset will be used at more than one site.
Static Entry: If your access points do not accept broadcast ESSID or if there are
overlapping wireless systems in use at the site, enter the correct ESSID manually.

5. License Management
NetLink Wireless Telephones support a number of different IP protocol integrations. All NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones are shipped from SpectraLink with a generic software load that allows them to associate to a wireless LAN and download their functional software from a TFTP server. The handsets will not function properly without downloading appropriate software.
The following details the process to properly configure NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones and download software via over-the-air file transfer.
5.1 Requirements
A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of
802.11b wireless access points.
A TFTP Server must be available on the network in order to load the
appropriate software into the handsets.
Finally, ensure that the Battery Pack on the handset is fully charged.
5.2 Configuration Process
1. Download the latest NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone IP software
from http://www.spectralink.com/service/software.php
For the SBC HIPCS solution, software is pre-loaded onto an SBC TFTP
2. Load the latest version of the MiNET code and place it on the TFTP Server and
3. If statically assigning IP addresses, ensure that the Phone IP address, TFTP

ensure the TFTP Server is started. The five files that are needed must be named: slnk_cfg.cfg pd11g13.bin pd11mtd.bin pd11mtd3.bin pi110001.bin
Server IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information are accurate in the Admin menu. If using a DHCP Server, ensure that appropriate options are set for the TFTP Server. See the NetLink Wireless Telephone Configuration section for detailed configuration instructions.
Information within the Admin menu. If you are accepting broadcast ESSIDs at your access points, the handset will automatically learn the ESSID information when powering on. See NetLink Wireless Telephone Configuration section for detailed configuration instructions.
5. Using the Admin menu on the handset, ensure the License Option menu option
is set to 014. This ensures the handset will check for the proper MiNET files
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 31
each time it powers on. See NetLink Wireless Telephone Configuration section for detailed configuration instructions.
6. Power cycle the handset.
7. The MiNET code will now download to the handset. The status bar will
increment fully across the display for each function that is being performed in the download process. Upon completion of the update process, the handset will re-boot with the new firmware.
8. If the handset is statically configured, you may now enter the SVP IP address and
RTC address as detailed in the NetLink Wireless Telephone Configuration section above.
9. Register the handset with the supported Mitel Networks VoIP solution as if it
were a SpectraLink NetLink phone and properly label the handset with the appropriate extension.
For future software upgrades, simply update the files that are stored on the
TFTP Server. Each time the handset is powered up, it will check with the TFTP Server to ensure it has the proper software version.
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 32
6. Mitel Networks VoIP Integration Factors
This section describes the mapping between the emulated Mitel Networks 5220 IP Phone and the NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone.
Voice Messaging Access
Voicemail access is obtained through the Message key which is assigned on the handset to FCN + 3.
CODECs
The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone is compatible with the G.711 and G.729a/ab CODECs. There is no setting required on the handset.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized protocol that enables clients to be dynamically assigned with various configuration parameters, such as an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other critical network configuration information. DHCP servers centrally manage such configuration data, and are configured by network administrators with settings that are appropriate for a given network environment. The handset will search for Mitel Networks server configuration in the vendor specific and site-specific options listed in the table below. The handset will use the following DHCP options if DHCP use is enabled:
Option Meaning
1 Subnet Mask
3 Default Gateway
6 DNS Server
15 Domain Name
66 TFTP Server
151 NetLink SVP Server
152 SpectraLink OAI Gateway
128 Mitel TFTP Server address (not currently used by
handset)
129 Mitel PBX RTC IP address
130 String containing “MITEL IP PHONE”
siaddr Boot server or next server
TFTP
The handset uses TFTP to update the handset software over the 802.11b wireless LAN.
DNS
Domain Name System (DNS), an industry-standard protocol, locates computers on an IP-based network. IP networks rely on number-based addresses to move information on the network. However, users are better at remembering friendly names than number-based addresses, so, it is necessary to translate user-friendly
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 33
names into addresses that the network can recognize. The handset will use DNS to automatically translate names into IP addresses for these components: TFTP Server and the NetLink SVP Server.

The SpectraLink NetLink Wireless Telephone model in the Mitel Networks 3300 and SX-200 ICP is similar to the 5220 IP Phone.
The button mapping from the Mitel Networks 5220 IP Phone to the NetLink Wireless Telephone is designed to preserve nearly all of the functionality of the 5220 IP Phone within a small, mobile device. All telephone functions and messaging features are supported if possible. Speakerphone functions are not supported.
The handset has four softkeys to the 5220’s three softkeys. The last or rightmost softkey on the handset, known as Softkey D, emulates the Hold key on the 5220. The other three softkeys emulate the functions of the three softkeys of the 5220.
The handset uses “shortcut keys” to emulate the feature keys on the 5220. Pressing
LINE, FCN, or MENU plus a shortcut key will activate the assigned line appearance or
feature.
Feature key number 1 on the 5220 is the Line 1 key in the handset. All other feature keys may be programmed to either line appearances or features. When the handset becomes active, it requests a label for each of the feature keys from the PBX which tells it whether the feature key is assigned to a feature or to a line appearance. If the key is assigned to a line appearance, the handset lists the line extension plus any shortcut key on the Line Appearance display, visible when the the key is assigned to a feature, the handset lists it and any shortcut key on the Feature display, visible when the feature key order. Its shortcut key is determined by this order. OAI programming will override any shortcut keys assigned by the handset.

etc.
Superkey
The superkey and hold features swap places depending on the mode of the handset. When in a call, the superkey is menu item FCN + 6 and the Hold feature is available through softkey Dddd. When not in a call, the superkey (Skey) is available as softkey Dddd and the Hold feature is displayed as number 6 on the Feature list.
Hot Desking
The Mitel PBX allows configuration of a hot desking feature which allows a handset to register with the PBX as a different extension. If so configured, a HDsk softkey in position Cccc will appear on the handset in the active (on-hook) mode. When the hot desk softkey is pressed, the PBX displays No user logged in and the current extension. Press the Login softkey (
Logi) and enter the new extension. Press the OK
softkey. The display prompts for a PIN number. Enter the PIN and press the OK softkey. The handset will display Get button defs as it checks in with the PBX. Once registration is complete, the new extension will display and the handset will be in standby mode.
Resiliency
If the primary PBX fails and a secondary PBX is configured, any handset that is configured to be resilient and powered on at the time of failure will switch to the backup PBX. During the switchover the handset tries to register with each of the resiliency IP addresses provided by the primary PBX at power on. These are stored

9. Diagnostic Tools
Site Survey, Diagnostic Mode and Syslog Mode are three diagnostic tools provided
Run
to assist the WLAN administrator in evaluating the functioning of the NetLink Wireless Telephone and the system surrounding it. Diagnostic Tools are enabled in the Admin menu.
9.1 Run Site Survey
Site Survey is used to evaluate the facility coverage before certifying that an installation is complete. It can also be used at any time to evaluate coverage by testing signal strength, to gain information about an AP, and to scan an area to look for all APs regardless of ESSID. The information available through site survey includes:
ESSID
Beacon Interval
Information regarding support of 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11h, and other 802.11
amendment standards as required.
Current security configuration
Start the site survey by selecting
Run Site Survey from the Admin menu. The mode
starts immediately.
When the test is started, it is by default in “single ESSID” mode. When the Any soft key is pressed (softkey A), all APs, regardless of ESSID are displayed, and the softkey changes to say MyID. Pressing the MyID soft key will revert to the “single ESSID” mode and change the softkey back to Any.
The display would look like the following for the multiple AP mode.
1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 2 2 3 3 4 4 4

Where:
111111 = The last three octets of the on-air MAC address for a discovered AP.
22 = The signal strength for the specified AP.
33 = The channel number of the specified AP.
444 = The beacon interval configured on the specified AP.
Any/MyID = Softkey to toggle between “single ESSID” and “any ESSID”
mode.
Detl/Smry = Softkey to toggle between the multiple AP (summary) display, and
the single (detail) displays for each AP.
The following screen shows how the display would look when there are three APs configured with an ESSID that matches that of the handset. The first has a signal strength of –28dbm, is configured on channel 2, with a beacon interval of 100ms. The second has a signal strength of –48dbm, is configured on channel 6, with a
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 41
beacon interval of 200ms. The third has a signal strength of –56dbm, is configured on channel 11 with a beacon interval of 100ms.

bbbbbb = The last three octets of the BSSID for a discovered AP.
sn = Signal strength in –dbm
ch = Channel
bcn = Beacon interval
eeeeeeeeeee = ESSID (Up to first 11 characters)
DGHI = Standards supported
rrrrrrrr = Rates supported. Basic rates will have a “b” following the rate.
+ = more rates are supported than those displayed
xxxx = WMM or UPSD if those QoS methods are supported
mmm = Security mode
G:gggg = Group key security
P:pppp = Pairwise key security
Any/MyID = Softkey to toggle between “single ESSID” and “any ESSID”
modes.
Detl/Smry = Softkey to toggle between the multiple AP display (summary), and
the single AP display (detail).
Numbers racing across the handset display indicate AP information is being obtained. A
Waiting message indicates the system is not configured properly and the
handset cannot find any APs.
PN: 72-1084-02-E.doc Page 42
Solving Coverage Issues
Coverage issues are best resolved by adding and/or relocating access points.
Overlap issues may be resolved by reassigning channels to the access points or by relocating the access points. See the Troubleshooting section Access Point Problems for more information.
9.2 Diagnostics Mode
The Diagnostics Mode is used to evaluate the overall quality of the link between the handset, AP, and infrastructure side equipment, such as Call Agent, NetLink SVP Server, and gateways. Unlike Site Survey, the Diagnostics Mode is used while the functional code is running, and during a call.
When Diagnostics Mode is turned on in the Admin menu, the handset can display diagnostic screens any time it is active (in a call).
The display of information is instigated by pressing the MENU key. Only four of the diagnostic counters listed below can be shown at a time. Pressing the MENU key multiple times will cycle through the various counters and the normal off hook (Call Agent) display. The numeric icon at the top of the display indicates what screen number is being displayed. For example the first time the MENU key is pressed, the 1 icon is shown, and the first four counters are displayed, the next time it is pressed, the 2 icon is shown, and the next four counters are displayed, the counters will be cycled through in this fashion until there are no more counters to be displayed. After all the counters have been displayed, the screen returns to the normal off hook Call Agent screen.
Note that the normal used of the MENU key is not available if Diagnostics Mode is enabled.
The information provided by the Diagnostics Mode includes:
Screen 1

9.3 Syslog Mode
A syslog server must be present on the network in order for the handset to send the log messages and have them saved. The syslog server will be found with DHCP option 7 if the handset is using DHCP. If static addresses are configured, the syslog server’s IP address can be configured statically in the Admin menu.
If the syslog server address is blank (000.000.000.000 or 255.255.255.255)
Admin menu options:
*Disabled turns syslog off.
Events logs all errors plus also some other interesting events (see below).
The table below lists the syslog messages and which level of logging will produce them:
or the handset is using DHCP and no option 7 is received from the DHCP server, the handset will not send any syslog messages.
Errors causes the handset to log only events that we consider to be an error (see

10. Certifying the NetLink Wireless Telephones
Prior to determining that an installation is complete, test the handsets following the sequence given in the previous Testing a NetLink Wireless Telephone section and conduct a site survey mode test according to the directions given in the previous Diagnostic Tools section. Note any areas where coverage is conflicting or inadequate. Note any system difficulties and work with your wireless LAN and/or LAN system administrator to determine the cause and possible remedy. See the section NetLink Wireless Telephone Problems for clues to possible sources of difficulties. If any adjustments are made to the system, re-test the device in the same vicinity to determine if the difficulty is resolved.
The installer should not leave the site before performing installation verification.
These tests must be performed in typical operating conditions, especially if heavy loads occur. Testing sequence and procedure is different for every installation. Generally, you should organize the test according to area and volume, placing numerous calls to others who can listen while you perform coverage tests. Note any areas with excessive static or clarity problems and report it to a SpectraLink service engineer.
The coverage test will also require you to put the handset in Site Survey mode and walk the entire coverage area to verify all access points.
10.1 Conducting a Site Survey
Conduct a Site Survey of the installation, by walking the site looking for interfering
802.11 systems, adequate coverage and channel assignment, and correct AP configuration.
1. Referring to section 6.1 Run Site Survey, put a handset into Site Survey in the
Any/Smry ESSID mode. Walk throughout the site checking for any expected
APs or other ESSIDs.
2. Then, walk the site again, in MyID/Smry ESSID mode, this time checking that
every location has adequate coverage (there should be at least one AP stronger than -70dBm in all areas) and has good channel allocation (at any point, the strongest AP shown should be on a different channel than the next best choice).
3. Finally, use the single AP (MyID/Detl) display to check each AP, to ensure it is
configured for the proper data rates, beacon interval, 802.11 options enabled, QoS method, and security method.
4. Make any necessary adjustments to AP locations and configurations and repeat
steps 1-3 until the Site Survey shows adequate coverage and correct configuration at every location.
The installation is not complete until these certification steps have been performed. Do not hand out handsets at a site that has not been certified.

Power On button.
SpectraLink or its authorized dealer will provide information about software updates and how to obtain the software.
Downloads are available from http://www.spectralink.com/service/software.php.
11.1 Upgrading NetLink Wireless Telephones
After software updates are obtained from SpectraLink, they must be transferred to the appropriate location in the LAN to update the code used by the handsets.
NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones allow over-the-air transfer of software updates from the designated TFTP server to the handsets. The downloader function in the handset checks its software version every time the handset is turned on. If there is any discrepancy the handset immediately begins to download the update.
handsets can be displayed during power on by holding down
Normal Download Messages
When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions, and downloading. The normal message progression is:
Message Description

phones and refusing additional downloads. The handset will automatically retry the download every few seconds.
TFTP ERROR(x):yy A failure has occurred during the TFTP download of one of the files. (x) = The file number
which was being downloaded; yy is an error code describing the particular failure. Possible error codes are:
01 = TFTP server did not find the requested file.
02 = Access violation (reported from TFTP server).
07 = TFTP server reported "No such user" error. Check the TFTP server configuration.
81 = File put into memory did not CRC. The handset will attempt to download the file again.
FF = Timeout error. TFTP server did not respond within a specified period of time.

12. Troubleshooting NetLink Wireless Telephone Problems
NetLink Wireless Telephones can exhibit transmission problems in several ways. They can cease functioning properly, display error messages, or display incorrect data. When using and troubleshooting handsets, consider the following problem sources to determine the best method of approaching any specific situation.
12.1 Access Point Problems
Most, but not all, handset audio problems have to do with access point range, positioning and capacity. Performing a Site Survey as described in this document can isolate the AP causing these types of problems. If the handset itself is suspected, conduct a parallel Site Survey with a handset that is known to be properly functioning.
In range/Out of range – service will be disrupted if a user moves outside the area
covered by the wireless LAN access points. Service is restored if the user moves back within range. If a call drops because a user moves out of range, the handset will recover the call if the user moves back into range within a few seconds.
Capacity – in areas of heavy use, the call capacity of a particular AP may be filled. If
this happens, the user will hear three chirps from the handset. The user can wait until another user terminates a call, or move within range of another AP and try the call again. If a user is on a call and moves into an area where capacity is full, the system attempts to find another AP. Due to range limitations, this may be the same as moving out of range.
Transmission Obstructions –prior to system installation, the best location for APs for
optimum transmission coverage was determined. However, small pockets of obstruction may still be present, or obstructions may be introduced into the facility after system installation. This loss of service can be restored by moving out of the obstructed area, or by adding APs.
12.2 Configuration Problems
Certain problems are associated with improper configuration of either the MGCP system or the handset.
Configuration problems are generally corrected by changing the configuration on the MGCP system or on the handset. There may also be incorrect programming of the AP. See the Configuration Note for the AP in use at the site.
