Overview This guide describes the configuration procedures required for the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series for interoperability with BroadWorks. This includes these models: Spectralink IP-DECT 200 Spectralink IP-DECT 400 Spectralink IP-DECT 6500 The IP-DECT Server Series are access devices that use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to communicate with BroadWorks for call control.
This section identifies interface capabilities that have been verified through testing as supported by Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series. The Supported column in the tables in this section identifies the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series’ support for each of the items covered in the test plan, with the following...
Caveats and clarifications are identified in the Comments column. 2.2.1 SIP Interface Capabilities The Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series has completed interoperability testing with BroadWorks using the BroadWorks SIP Phone Interoperability Test Plan [5]. The results are summarized in the following table.
Redundancy Video Dual Stack with Alternate Connectivity 2.2.2 Other Interface Capabilities This section identifies whether the Spectralink IP-DECT Servers have implemented support for the following: BroadWorks Xtended Services Interface (Xsi) Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) (BroadCloud/BroadWorks Collaborate Instant Messaging and Presence [IM&P]) Support for these interfaces is demonstrated by completing the BroadWorks SIP Phone Xsi and XMPP Test Plan [6].
The issues identified are device deficiencies or bugs, and are typically not BroadWorks release dependent. The Issue Number is a tracking number for the issue. If it is a Spectralink issue, the issue number is from Spectralink’s tracking system. If it is a BroadWorks issue, the issue number is from BroadSoft’s tracking system.
This section identifies the device profile type settings to use when deploying the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series with BroadWorks. Create a device profile type for the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series with settings as shown in the following example. A separate device profile type should be created for each Spectralink IP-DECT Server model.
DECT Server configuration settings identified in this section have been derived and verified through interoperability testing with BroadWorks. For configuration details not covered in this section, see the Provisioning Guide Spectralink IP-DECT Servers and for the IP DECT Server. BroadSoft Device Management...
Management interface between the device and BroadWorks with the intent to ensure interoperability. The Supported column in the following table identifies the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series’ support for each of the items covered in the test plan packages, with the following...
No Touch Provision via Vendor redirect Device Management Configuration This section identifies the steps required to enable the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series for device management. For Device Management configuration details not covered here, see the BroadWorks Device Management Configuration Guide and the BroadWorks [8].
Create System Default Tags Browse to System → Resources → Device Management Tag Sets and select the System Default tag set. The Spectralink configuration templates make use of the tags in the following table. Add the tags if they do not already exist.
Page 26
Configure the tag set name using the device name appended by Tags: Spectralink-IP-DECT tags. Add the device type-specific tags in the following table to the device tag set. If the tag set already exists, make sure that at least the tags marked as required are defined.

Configuration Method 1: Import This section identifies the steps necessary to make use of the Device Management import feature to configure BroadWorks to add the Spectralink IP DECT Server as a Device Management-enabled device type. Also, see the BroadWorks CPE Kit Usage Guide [8].
Click the Files and Authentication link and then select the option to rebuild all the system files. Firmware files must be obtained from Spectralink. These files are not included in the import. Complete the steps in section 5.2.2.2.2 Define Device Profile Type Files define the static firmware files and to upload the firmware.
Page 33
Define Device Profile Type Files This section describes the BroadWorks Device Management configuration necessary to identify the configuration files and other files that the Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series download. Configuration templates, firmware, and other files the IP-DECT Server uses must be uploaded to BroadWorks.
After creating the device profile type file, upload %BWMACADDRESS%-config.xml, which is extracted from the CPE kit obtained from Spectralink. Use the Browse button on the file definition screen. Be sure to click Apply after uploading the file. Figure 5 %BWMACADDRESS%-config.xml File Settings 5.2.2.2.2.2...
BroadWorks interface to an individual Spectralink device. Browse to the BroadWorks <group> → Resources → Identity/Device Profiles page and then select Add to add a new Spectralink IP-DECT Server Series device profile. Configure the device profile as shown in the example.
5.2.5 Customize Tags This section identifies custom tags used by the Spectralink that may need to be customized at the group or device profile. Customizing a tag at the group level overrides the setting on the device profile type for the device profiles created within the group.
Figure 10 Custom Tags 5.2.6 Configure Spectralink IP DECT Server This section describes the steps necessary to configure the Spectralink IP DECT Server to integrate with BroadWorks Device Management. Browse to the web interface of the IP-DECT Server, http://<IP-DECT and log in. The default credentials are “admin/admin”.
BroadWorks Release 22.0. Prior to configuring for the MAC address authentication, mutual HTTPS authentication must be established among the Spectralink IP DECT server and BroadWorks. That is by the implication of client certificate authentication, HTTPS must be enabled on the DECT server to trust BroadWorks server certificate.
BroadWorks system. Prepare the authentication mode switch by collecting all MAC addresses of the existing Spectralink IP DECT Servers and follow instructions below in the specified order. 5.2.7.1...
Change File Authentication Mode to MAC address in Client Certificate Instructions in this section are only applicable to updating BroadWorks systems with existing Spectralink IP DECT Server device profile types. Perform corresponding changes on the authentication mode of all files listed under section 5.2.2.2.2 Define Device Profile...
Upgrade from Previous CPE Kits The previous configuration sections are primarily structured around importing or manually configuring the Spectralink device profile types for the first time. Many of the steps are unnecessary when upgrading to a new firmware release or CPE kit version.
