Essential Installation Pointers
You must update the software with the most recent code.
Visit http://www.polycom.com/usa.en/support/voice/wi-fi/spectralink_8002_wireless.html. Additional information about updating handset code is in Chapter 3 Software License and Protocol Management.
WMM QoS must be supported and enabled on the Wi-Fi access point(s).
When using the SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones, WMM QoS is mandatory to ensure voice packets are delivered in a timely fashion. The AP must have WMM enabled. If WMM is not enabled or if the AP does not support it, the handset will stop and display an error (e.g.
No Net Found) after firmware update.
Be aware that not all APs enable WMM by default. In fact, many APs require updated firmware to support WMM. Follow the AP’s manufacturer instructions to ensure WMM is supported and enabled.
Data APs may not support VoWiFi.
The 8002 handset has been tested with many SMB access points. We have found that VoWiFi performance varies between AP models and even firmware versions. An AP being used for data does not guarantee satisfactory Voice over Wi-Fi performance.
We recommend that you update to the latest AP firmware version if possible. If you experience unexpected behaviors, try a different AP type.
A TFTP server must be on the local network with the SIP configuration files present.
A TFTP server is a required component of the LAN. The SIP configuration files (and the handset code) reside on the TFTP server and the handset retrieves the SIP files at every power up. It is not recommended or supported to have the TFTP server or call-server across a WAN.
The handset must be configured to point to a TFTP server for the SIP configuration files. This is accomplished by setting the handset for DHCP or by using static IP addressing. See Chapter 2 SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone Configuration, section Network Config.
If the handset cannot find the files, it will stop and report an error.

SpectraLink Wireless Telephone Overview
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones are mobile handsets for workplace IP telephone systems. The handsets operate over an
802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users a wireless voice over IP (VoIP) extension. By seamlessly integrating into a SIP environment, handset users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace. The handset gives users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while providing all the features and functionality of a SIP desk phone.
1
The handsets reside on the wireless LAN with other wireless devices using direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. Access points that transmit these signals must use WMM for QoS. The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to 11 Mb/s.
In the SIP environment, the handsets support up to three proxy servers. Each handset may have five line appearances and two calls per line. If required, each handset may have multiple sets of credentials to identify itself by current user.
The latest software versions are required to support the features described in this document.
WMM-Compatible Access Points
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones support basic WMM™ as part of the 802.11e protocol. The handset requires an AP that supports WMM
The WMM specification for the SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone does not accommodate admission control. The AP may not use the mechanism of admission control in the wireless environment where SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones are operating.
PN: 1725-36034-001_B.doc 11
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones Configuration and Administration (SIP)
WMM must be enabled when configuring access points for the SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones. The handset will not work properly if WMM is not enabled.
Refer to the access point manufacturer’s directions for instructions on enabling WMM.
Visit the Wi-Fi Alliance website www.wi-fi.org to search for APs that support WMM.
Security Options
The SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11 specification. Polycom offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones also support the 802.11i protocol including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA™ and WPA2™)— PSK.
12 PN: 1725-36034-001_B.doc

SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone
The SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone is a lightweight, durable handset specifically designed for mobile workplace use within a facility using SIP and an 802.11 wireless LAN. The handsets are to be used on-premises; they are not cellular or satellite phones.
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones use direct-sequence spread spectrum radio technology (DSSS) to transmit audio packets over wireless LAN APs that support WMM.
Access points
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone Overview
Supplied by third-party vendors, APs provide the connection between the wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11) LAN. Access points must be positioned in all areas where handsets will be used. The number and placement of APs will affect the coverage area and capacity of the wireless system.
Access points must admission control must
support WMM, WMM must be enabled and
be disabled.
Ethernet switch
Interconnects multiple network devices, including the proxy server(s), wired 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 SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones.
Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the handsets can operate in larger, more complex networks, including networks with multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs and/or multiple subnets. However, in such networks, it is possible that 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 SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones cannot “roam” from one subnet to another. If routers and multiple subnets are in use,
PN: 1725-36034-001_B.doc 15
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones Configuration and Administration (SIP)
the handsets must only use APs attached to a single subnet, or be powered off and back on to switch to a different subnet.
SIP server
The SIP server is a component from a third-party vendor that provides access to telephony services. The handsets can recognize up to three distinct SIP servers in a single system.
The SIP proxy server connects to another device such as a PBX or gateway and from there, other wired phones and the PSTN.
The SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone has been tested and certified with Digium® Asterisk® Business Edition server.
SIP phone
The optional wired-LAN desksets such as those provided by Polycom.
TFTP server
A TFTP server is required in the system to distribute software to the handsets. May be on a different subnet than the gateway and/or APs.
SIP TFTP server
A SIP TFTP server is required in the system to deliver SIP configuration parameters to the SIP handset whenever a SIP handset is powered-up. The location of the SIP TFTP server is separately specified in SIP handset administration parameters (See Chapter 2
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone Configuration, section The Admin Menu.) Normally, the SIP TFTP server is the same as the network
TFTP server, see above.

handset display and take input from the handset keypad. Refer to the OAI Specification documentation for information about administering the OAI Gateway and the services it can provide.
If OAI is enabled, and an IP address (called the
OAI Server IP) is
available to the handset (either via DHCP or Static IP configuration), the handset will communicate with the OAI Gateway at power-on, and periodically while it is powered-on. If you don’t have a SpectraLink 8000 OAI Gateway installed at your site, you should disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery life.
To conserve handset battery life, do not enable OAI unless an OAI gateway is present and an application is available.
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. A password may be up to 32 characters. Type the password and press the confirmation prompt will appear. Type the password again and press

Network Config
IP Address
There are two modes in which the handset can operate: DHCP­enabled or Static IP. Select the mode for operation 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.
PN: 1725-36034-001_B.doc 27
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones Configuration and Administration (SIP)
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 use the following DHCP options if DHCP use is enabled.
Option Meaning
1 Subnet mask 3 Default gateway 6 DNS server 7 Syslog server 15 Domain name 66 TFTP server 152 SpectraLink 8000 OAI Gateway siaddr Boot server or next server
Static IP Allows you to manually set a fixed IP Address. If selected, the
handset will prompt for the IP addresses for each configurable network component. When entering addresses, enter the digits only including leading zeroes, e.g. 192.168.001.002. No periods are required.
Regardless of the mode in which the handset is operating, the following components are required and must be configured as part of the SIP 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 handset 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 and contains the handset files. If this feature is configured (not set to
0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255) with either 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 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.
28 PN: 1725-36034-001_B.doc
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone Configuration
The TFTP server and the SIP TFTP server may be the same device with the same IP address or may be different devices with different IP addresses.
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 the network administrator for the proper settings for the network.
Note that the wireless telephones cannot “roam” across subnets, since they cannot change IP addresses while operational. Ensure that all APs 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 only APs on the new subnet.
Syslog Server IP The IP address of the syslog server. See Chapter 5
Diagnostic Tools
SIP TFTP Server IP The IP address of a TFTP server on your network,
for more information.
which holds SIP configuration files. In static mode, this parameter must be configured with an IP address. In DHCP mode, the SIP TFTP server may be specified by defining the address on the DNS server for the name “siptftp” If this is not defined, the address specified in option 66 will be used.
The TFTP server and the SIP TFTP server may be the same device with the same IP address or may be different devices with different IP addresses.
OAI Server IP The IP address of the SpectraLink OAI Gateway. 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.

SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones Configuration and Administration (SIP)
Domain Name System (DNS), an industry-standard protocol, locates computers on an IP-based network. IP networks rely on number­based addresses to move information on the network. However, it is easier to remember friendly names than number-based addresses, so it is necessary to translate user-friendly names into addresses that the network can recognize. The handset will use DNS to automatically translate names into IP addresses for the TFTP server.
In DHCP mode, the SIP handset will use DNS to look up an address for the logical name “siptftp” to locate the SIP TFTP file server. If this logical name is undefined, then the address specified by option 66 is used for the SIP TFTP server.
ESSID
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 APs for ESSID learning to function when multiple ESSIDs can be seen by the handset from one location. 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. Once either is found, the handset retains the ESSID from whichever AP 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 in the Admin menu, thus erasing the stored ESSID..
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 the APs do not broadcast their ESSID, or if there are
overlapping wireless systems in use at the site, enter the ESSID manually.
