SPECTRALINK QUICK NETWORK CONNECT (QNC) GUIDE

The Spectralink 84-series phone is a wireless device; however, it will not have any wireless conguration by default;
it would not understand what network it is going to be set up with. There is a device called the Spectralink Quick
Network Connect (QNC), where you can congure the Spectralink 84-series wireless setting as described in this
QNC guide. The QNC allows you to congure up to 4 Spectralink 84-series phones at a time. The main purpose of
this QNC guide is to enable the phone to acquire the IP address from the wireless network.

QNC device has a built-in IP address of 192.168.1.1. You need to connect the QNC directly with the PC point to
point. You will need to dene a static IP address in the PC in order to communicate with the QNC. Once connected,
the QNC can be browsed with the address 192.168.1.1.

In the rst screen, we need to select Spectralink 84-series.

There are ve wireless security types congurable on the Spectralink phones. You can choose to use any one of
them. The following are two examples of conguring two of the ve Wireless security types.

Note: Step A must be chosen for each Wireless Security Type and steps B, C, D, and E are common to all.

Wireless Security type congurations:

a. WPA2- Enterprise Wireless Security Type

In the Wi-Fi settings,

• Put the SSID. Below it is shown

as ‘MasergyLab’.

• Choose the security type. Below,

it is WPA2-Enterprise.

• Fast Roaming is ‘OKC’

• WPA2-Enterprise security type is

chosen to PEAP.

• If PEAP is chosen, then we need

to load Root CA certicate of the
authenticating server. We can do
that by choosing ‘Upload Files’.
If we choose some other security
types such as WPA2-PSK, we
need not load any certicate.

NOTE: The certicate le must

be in TEXT format. If you upload

certicate in CER or binary

(*.cer) format, it will let you
upload it; however, when the

certicate is in CER format, the

data from the QNC cannot be
loaded to the phone.

• Then we need to put ‘Username’

and ‘Password’ which can
authenticate with the radius server and the user can log in.

b. WPA2-PSK Wireless Security Type

In the Wi-Fi settings,

• Put the SSID. Below it is shown as ‘MasergyLab’.

• Choose the security type. Below, it is WPA2-PSK

• Put the appropriate paraphrase (passcode) for the network SSID.

c. Additional Wi-Fi Setup

Regulatory domain is region based. It is chosen as ‘North America’. Then, we can chose the frequency
level 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz.

d. Provisioning Server Setup.

You can dene the provisioning serve in one of the two ways – DHCP or static. If it is DHCP, it will
automatically grab the server. Below, we have shown how you may enter a static server. The server is
‘ftp.broadcore.com’.
