3.4 Program
DEFINITY
Each Wireless Telephone must be administered on the DEFINITY so the switch will
recognize the Wireless Telephone and allow access to system facilities and features. The
DEFINITY technician or local system programmer should perform the necessary
programming.
Save Translations
Before beginning to program the system, the technician may want to back up the current
programming with the
save
translations
command. This will take time, but will ensure
that translations can be restored if necessary.
Program Wireless Telephones
Copy Settings from a Wired Set
The easiest way to program the SpectraLink Wireless Telephone on DEFINITY is
to find a wired 8410D station that has settings and restrictions similar to what is
required for the Wireless Telephone, and use the
duplicate
station
command to
copy those settings to a “template” Wireless Telephone. If there is no 8410D
available, find a station that has similar settings, and use the
display
or
station
command to check the settings so they can be manually duplicated using
an
add
station
command for the template Wireless Telephone.
Station Features for Wireless Telephone

determined in the pre-installation procedures. The following settings must be set

Auto Answer: None (this is the default, and forces calls to ring the Wireless

on the Wireless Telephone. If the customer wants to change these three-character
