Plan the Interface
The system administrator programs the telephone system for use with
the Wireless Telephone System using the normal administration
terminal or procedures. Programming can be done after the handsets
are registered.
Recommended programming includes assigning extension numbers
to the handsets and programming features on the telephone system so
they are easily accessible from the handsets.
For analog interfaces, macro codes are in the document relating to
configuring the system. See SpectraLink 6300 MCU: Operator’s Console,
SpectraLink 6100 MCU: Installation and Operation, or SpectraLink 6100
MCU: Installation and Operation.
The following information will help the system administrator set up
the SpectraLink Wireless Telephones to operate in a way that feels
familiar and comfortable to users.
Plan Programming
Digital Interface programming for the Wireless Telephone System will
be faster if it is planned in advance by verifying the parameters and
features on the current telephone system and wired phones. The
system administrator must assign extension numbers to the handsets
and plan the functions (trunk access, toll restrictions, system features,
ringing options etc.) to be programmed for the handsets.
One of these scenarios concerning how the handsets are programmed
should apply to this site:
•
All handsets are programmed alike: All handsets will be
programmed exactly the same. Depending on the capabilities of
the switch, the system administrator can often program one
handset and use it as a model for all other handsets.
•
Groups of handsets are programmed alike: handsets are grouped
into classes that are programmed alike. Depending on the
capabilities of the switch, the system administrator can program

LinkPlus Interface Guide: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent
“model” handsets then use the model as a template to program
the other handsets.
•
All handsets are different: All handsets are programmed differently,
so each handset will be programmed individually.
Before installation, the parameters of the wired phones should be
verified to plan the parameters required for the handsets.
Extension assignment
What extension numbers will be assigned to the handsets?
Outgoing trunk access
Which trunk group will be selected when the user goes off-hook?
System forwarding
If this system supports forwarding, what is the forwarding path and
forwarding conditions for this telephone? Does it belong to a hunt
group?
Toll restrictions
To which toll restriction class of service should this station be
assigned?
Mailboxes
What are the parameters of this station’s voice mailbox ?
Programmable keys
Determine which features, if any, should be programmed on the
handsets. These assignments may emulate assignments on the user's
wired set.
If possible, identify a wired set that is programmed exactly or close to
the way the handsets should be programmed. This set can be used to
copy the programming to the new handsets.

Plan the Interface
Assign Extension Numbers
The wire contractor should inform the system administrator which
port numbers have been designated for the handsets.
The system administrator may use the Extension Assignments
Worksheet at the end of this document to track the port numbers,
extensions, users, and features assigned to handsets.
The Wireless Telephone Display
The SpectraLink Wireless Telephone will display the telephone
number as it is dialed.
Certain characters may be used by the system that are not
implemented in the handset. Flashing characters are not implemented
on the handset, nor is rolling or scrolling of text.
Although some desksets do not have a display, any display
information sent by the system will be displayed on the handset.
Handset indicators
Line indicators are associated with line access keys. Status indicators
or icons are associated with voicemail, low battery function, other
functions, and service interruption. A left or right arrow is displayed
when the screen can be toggled either left or right to display more
characters.
The handset icons indicate trunk or intercom usage. The following
table outlines the line icons and their related Digital Keyset LED
indication.

Feature Programming Requirements
When planning the interface, the following information must be taken
into account:
Line sequences
The handset uses two types of key sequences to access PBX features
and multiple lines. Line sequences are those where the user presses
the LINE key and then a number key. The key-map design designates
“line” keys that should be programmed for line appearance so that
they correspond to line sequences on the handset.
The LINE icon on the handset will reflect activity on the corresponding
deskset key. For this reason, it is recommended that line appearance
keys be used only for line access. If only one line is assigned to a
particular handset, leave the other designated line keys identified on
the key maps unassigned. The corresponding handset LINE + key
sequences will then have no function.
Function sequences
Function sequences are those where the handset user presses the FCN
key and then a number key. Designated “function” deskset keys
programmed to system features such as Transfer and Conference may
have their corresponding menu items display on the handset function
menu. See the key-map diagram for the function keys that are
available for feature programming.
Function Menu Programming
SpectraLink 6300 MCU
The function menu text defaults for the handsets associated with the
SpectraLink 6300 MCU can be changed via the SpectraLink Operator’s
Console.

Plan the Interface
SpectraLink 6100 MCU
For the SpectraLink 6100 MCU, the handset function menu text can
only be changed via remote configuration through the services of
Polycom’s Customer Support.
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways
Function menu text options can be changed in the Administration
Console of the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways.
Hold
The Hold feature should be programmed to the Hold key as shown
on the key-map diagrams so that when the Hold key or softkey is
pressed on the handset, the call is placed on hold.
Mute
The handset Mute function is hard-coded to FCN +1 on the PTB4xx
handset. This function sequence is recommended, but the system
administrator can assign the Mute function to any available function
key sequence or leave the function unassigned. The SpectraLink 6000
and SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones use a Mute softkey.
Voicemail
The message-waiting icon on the handset is activated with the
message indication of the deskset. The voicemail feature on the
deskset must be assigned to the feature key as shown in the key-map
diagrams. Do not assign any other feature to this key, since the
associated LED is directly mapped to the message-waiting icon on the
handset. This LED assignment must be used in order to support the
message-waiting icon. Using this key for any other feature or for line
access could cause unacceptable system performance.
Speakerphone
If a handset such as the PTB 4xx has no speaker, speakerphone
function and functions that require the use of the volume keys will
not be made available on the handset. In such a case, disable all
speakerphone features, particularly any hands-free features that
activate the speaker with the telephone on-hook.

Ring types
Handset ring types (soft, normal, vibrate, etc.) are programmed by the
handset user and are not accessible or changeable by the system
switch. Whenever possible the audible ringer on the handset will
follow the cadence provided by the system switch. Call progress tones
provided by the host system will be passed through to the handset.
