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.
