1 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.
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.
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.
LinkPlus Interface Guide: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent 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.
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.
LinkPlus Interface Guide: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent 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. 12 PN: 1725-36135-001_D.
2 Interface Implementation This section describes the recommended programming to use the Wireless Telephone System with an Inter-Tel Axxess or Axxent System. The procedures assume: • The Axxess or Axxent system is installed and operational in an approved configuration. See the Telephone Switch Interface Matrix document for tested configurations. • A trained Inter-Tel technician or system administrator will be on site with the SpectraLink installer to program the system.
LinkPlus Interface Guide: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways Connect to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway using the serial or modem interface. From the Main Menu, choose Gateway Configuration. Scroll to Telephone Switch Type and press enter to change this field, from the Submenu of PBX types, select Inter-Tel Axxess or Axxent. Refer to SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway: Administration Guide for SRP for details on configuring the Telephone Switch Type.
Interface Implementation The FCN [number] and LINE [number] labels represent the key sequence on the handset mapped to the corresponding key on the desk set. The handset function menu default settings are shown in the table below; these may be changed as described above in Function Menu Programming. Some of these functions (Mute, Redial, Forward, etc.) are activated by softkeys or FCN menu options on the SpectraLink 6000 and SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones. PN: 1725-36135-001_D.
LinkPlus Interface Guide: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent Program Axxess or Axxent Program the Inter-Tel system for use with the Wireless Telephone System using the Axxess PAL software package that is loaded on your programming PC. Copy settings from a wired set If possible, copy the settings from an existing wired telephone with similar features and keys to create a “template” handset.
