Connecting to the
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony
Gateway
For the initial configuration of each SpectraLink 8000 Telephony
Gateway, you should have the Wireless Device Planning Worksheet(s)
that was filled out during the installation of the system. There should
be one for each SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. The following
items included in the Worksheets must be known before proceeding
with the setup:
• SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway hostname (usually the
default name is replaced with a locally-designated identifier)
• PBX (Private Branch Exchange) type
• Active calls per AP (see the Configuration Note for the system’s
APs for this data)
• IP address (if static IP addresses are established by the LAN
administrator)
If you have a DHCP Server, it will assign an IP address to the
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. In this case, you can use
Telnet to configure and administer the Gateway and do not need an
initial serial connection to assign the IP address.
Connect via the Serial Port
The serial connection is used in lieu of DHCP in systems that choose
not to assign SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway IP addresses via a
DHCP Server, in which case a static IP address is required.
1. Using a DB-9 female, null-modem cable, connect any SpectraLink
8000 Telephony Gateway to the serial port of a terminal or PC.
