Plan the Interface
The system administrator programs the telephone system for use with
the SpectraLink 8000 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 8000 Telephony Gateway:
Administration Guide for SRP.
The following information will help the system administrator set up
the SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones to operate in a
way that feels familiar and comfortable to users.
Plan Programming
Digital Interface programming for the SpectraLink e340/h340/i640
Wireless Telephones 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.
It may also help to identify a key layout that is programmed exactly
or close to the way the handsets should be programmed, and use the
programming for that set as a model for programming the handsets.
Line appearances
The handsets support two line appearances for the Hicom 150/
HiPath 3000 and four line appearances for the Hicom 300/HiPath
4000. Determine what extension numbers will be assigned to the

handsets, which line or lines should ring at which handset; and which
line will be selected when the user goes off-hook.
Programmable feature keys
The handsets support programmable keys as shown in the key-map
diagrams below. Determine which features, if any, should be
programmed on the handsets. Feature keys that are not subject to
programming restrictions (described in the Programming Requirements
section) can be programmed to any optiset feature on the handset and
do not have to match the assignments on the user’s desktop
telephone.
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.

Handset Modes
Standby(on-hook)
In the standby mode the handset is waiting for an incoming call or for
the user to place an outgoing call. The extension number is shown on
the display and there is no dial tone. In this mode, the handset is
conserving battery power and bandwidth.
Active (off-hook)
To place a call, press the Start Call key. This transitions the handset to
active off-hook mode. There is a dial tone, the handset is in
communication with the PBX and the display shows information as it
is received from the PBX. The handset is also in the active mode when
you receive a call.
The active modes utilize the most bandwidth and battery power. To
conserve these resources, return the handset to the standby mode
when a call is completed by pressing the End Call key.
Active (on-hook)
To access the on-hook features of the handset, it must be in the active
on-hook mode. To transition from the active off-hook mode to the
active on-hook mode, press the Start Call key. In this mode, the user
may access the on-hook OptiGuide features. Return to the standby
mode by pressing the End Call key when finished accessing the on-
hook features.

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” optiset E 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
optiset E telephone key. For this reason, it is recommended that line
appearance keys on both the Hicom 150/HiPath 3000 Basic optiset E
and the Hicom 300/HiPath 4000 Standard optiset E should 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 on the optiset E. The handset key sequences LINE +2 to
LINE +4 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.
Hold
The Hold feature may be programmed to a softkey as shown in the
softkey programming table so that the Hold function is available on
the handset.
Mute
The handset Mute function is handled locally within the handset. The
Mute function may be programmed to a softkey as shown in the
softkey programming table so that the Hold function is available on
the handset.
Voicemail
The voicemail icon on the handset is activated with the message
indication of the optiset E. The Mailbox or PhoneMail feature on the
optiset E must be assigned to the feature key as shown in the ey-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
Because the handset has no speaker, speakerphone function and
functions that require the use of the volume keys will not be made
available on the handset. 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 Hicom
switch. Whenever possible the audible ringer on the handset will
follow the cadence provided by the Hicom switch. Call progress tones
provided by the host Hicom CS will be passed through to the handset.

LinkPlus Interface Guide: Siemens Hicom/HiPath optiset for SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones
OptiGuide menu
The OptiGuide menu provides access to features appropriate to the
current context of the handset. You may navigate through the menus
by using the default programming: FCN + * (Previous), FCN + 0
(Select), FCN + # (Next). Navigation and selection options should be
programmed to the softkeys as described in the following section. To
access the off-hook features of the OptiGuide menu, place the handset
in the off-hook active mode by pressing Start Call. To access the on-
hook features, press Start Call again to enter the on-hook active mode.
Pressing the Start Call key again will return the handset to the off-hook
active mode. Press the End Call key to enter the standby mode.
In the Hicom 150 and HiPath 3000 systems the optiset E Basic
telephone does not have OptiGuide context-sensitive feature keys.
However, the key codes used for the OptiGuide keys are recognized
by the host Hicom CS and can be used on the handset. Refer to the
key-map diagram notes.
Prime Line impacts
If a handset is used in conjunction with an optiset desk telephone,
each phone is configured on the Hicom CS as an independent phone
with its own phone number (each device is assigned to a separate
Prime Line). In order for both an optiset E telephone and a handset to
ring together, the extensions need to be set up at the Hicom CS to ring
at the same time.
A called party’s display of the originating line will be different when
the handset makes the call compared to the optiset telephone. The
name text could identify the source of the call to avoid confusion. For
example, the display name of the handset could be stored as “Smith
WT” at the Hicom CS. Display names should be kept to a minimum
so the full name is displayed on the handset (see the SpectraLink
Wireless Telephone section above for more details).
It should also be noted that the class of service (COS) of the handset is
related to the Prime Line of the phone and not the line appearance.
Speed dial
Users should be made aware that stored speed dial and redial
features will have to be saved separately for the optiset E telephone
and the handset. Additionally, the Last Number Redial feature will
only apply to the device from where the original number was dialed.
