Chapter 2: The Wizards The Spectralink 84-Series Installation & Configuration Tool provides two wizards to help you configure handset parameters. The Wireless Wizard configures the .cfg file the handsets require to be able to associate with the wireless LAN.
In this way, SLIC is a self-contained initial provisioning server, both generating and serving the wireless device configuration information to 84-Series handsets through a USB connection. After the correct wireless settings are loaded on the handsets, the handsets will be able to immediately associate with the wireless LAN and obtain SIP and feature parameters from the provisioning server.
These are the files that are downloaded to the handset when it is connected to SLIC. Wireless Wizard Configuration Files For a complete discussion of the files created, please consult the Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephone Deployment Guide. ...
