Chapter 3: Phone installation

Hardware setup

Wi-Fi overview

The Wi-Fi module enables the phone to connect to a network through a wireless network. If the
phone loses connection to one Wi-Fi network, it continues to operate with another redundantly
configured wireless network or Ethernet network. A Wi-Fi status icon displays when Wi-Fi is in
use. If the phone is connected to Ethernet switch and the Ethernet link goes down, a pop-up
message displays to change network connectivity to Wi-Fi.
You can configure Wi-Fi network by:
• Setting Wi-Fi parameters by using the 46xxsettings.txt file
• Configuring Wi-Fi from the phone UI
• Configuring Wi-Fi parameters from the web UI
Note:
VLAN and LLDP functionalities are not supported over a wireless network.
