Connecting to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway
Connecting via Telnet
In addition to the serial connection described in the previous section,
connection to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway may be done
via the network using Telnet. Once the IP addresses are configured,
every SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway is accessible through a
connection to any SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway.
If you do not have a DHCP Server, Telnet can only be used after
the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway’s IP address is
configured. See the previous section.
The Telnet method of connection is used for routine maintenance of
the system for both local and remote administration, depending on
your network.
To connect via Telnet, run a Telnet session to the IP address of any
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. Once you connect to any
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and log in, the
Gateway
Connection Selection screen displays.
Select the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway you wish to
administer and press Enter.
The top line of each administration screen displays the hostname and
IP address of the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway on which you
are currently operating.
Connecting via External Modem
The external modem method of connection is most frequently used
for routine maintenance of the system when administration of the
system is remotely done, and the network itself is not remotely
accessible.
You will need a standard analog phone line for the modem.
(A digital line from a digital PBX will not work.) Consult with your
telephone system vendor or the Telephone Company for more
information about dialing into a modem.
If needed, the external modem generally should maintain its default
settings, except Hardware Flow Control must be disabled.
