Enabling The Wifi Connection Profile; Access And Modify Wireless Settings - Nortel 5100 User Manual

28 First time installation of the IP Phone 1535
After you successfully connect the IP Phone 1535 to the network using the
LAN connection interface, you make both video and voice calls using that
interface and the WiFi profile is disabled. So, in this example, when you
enable the LAN connection profile, all voice and video calls made using
the IP Phone 1535 are made through the LAN connection to the network,
and the WiFi connection profile is disabled (along with all menu selections
associated with configuring the WiFi connection profile).
Enabling the WiFi connection profile
To establish an active network connection, you must configure the IP Phone
1535 to operate in either of two network connection profiles: LAN or WiFi.
The IP Phone 1535 can connect to your network using a wireless
connection. To do this, a wireless router or access point on your network
(to which the IP Phone 1535 can associate itself) must serve as a bridge
connection. With an available access point or wireless router in place,
enable the WiFi connection profile to install the IP Phone 1535 on your
network using WiFi:

network connection after you enable the WiFi network connection profile,
the disconnected network connection icon displays. For more information on
the network connection icons and network problems, see
