Handset models tested: Spectralink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephone*
Handset radio mode: 802.11b/g/n 802.11a/n
Meets VIEW minimum call capacity per AP:** 6 (Wi-Fi Standard QoS)*** 8 (Wi-Fi Standard QoS)***
* Spectralink handset models and their OEM derivates are verified compatible with the WLAN hardware
and software identified in the table. Throughout the remainder of this document they will be referred to
collectively as “Spectralink wireless telephones”, “phones” or “handsets”. When necessary to differentiate,
the 8440, 8441 (8440 with personal alarm hardware), 8450 (with 1D bar code reader), 8452 (with 1D and
2D bar code reader), and 8453 (8452 with personal alarm hardware) handsets will be referred to
collectively as the 84-Series handsets. All PIVOT models will be referred to collectively as PIVOT
handsets.
** Maximum calls tested per the VIEW Certification Test Plan. The certified product may actually support
a higher number of maximum calls.
*** WPA2-Enterprise and Wi-Fi Standard QoS are not available for Spectralink 8020/8030 handsets
connecting to traditional PBXs.
Known Limitations
The following limitations were discovered during VIEW testing of this product:
Fast BSS Transition (802.11r) is not supported by the handsets but they will operate in a
network where the feature is advertised.
1Mb/s and 2Mb/s data rates must be disabled to meet maximum call capacity.
The SIP server/PBX must send a control class message to the phone within every
minute to keep the TSPEC bandwidth from thinking that it is idle and forcing the phone
to disassociate. In a SIP server based on an Asterisk model, this involves setting
qualify=yes and qualifyfreq=30. Similar settings exists on other SIP server models.
If an SSID with open security is used, there must be an unused SSID following it in the
list before an Enterprise SSID is advertised. Otherwise, poor multicast/broadcast
behavior may exist on the Enterprise SSID. This is a workaround: the issue is scheduled
to be fixed in the next releases of all active software chains.
The 650 and 6521 APs may have degraded call quality with heavy ftp background traffic.
This document does not cover the steps involved to configure a RADIUS server
required for using WPA2-Enterprise.

721-1005-000-D.docx September 2015 10
Chapter 2: Connecting to a Controller for
the First Time
The controller can be accessed via SSH for CLI access, or via HTTPS for GUI
access. Configurations can be performed by either CLI or GUI, both of which will be
explained in this document. In CLI, use the command ‘commit write memory’ after
changes are made to save the entry. In GUI, click the ‘commit and save’ button
located on the upper-right side of the screen to save changes.
Connecting to the Controller via CLI for the First Time
Connect to the console port on the front of the controller using 19200 bits per second, 8 data
bits, no parity, no stop bit, and no flow control. The default login credentials are admin and
admin123 on the 5.7.2.0 version and admin and motorola on the 5.5.5.0 version. The user will
be prompted to change the password when logging in for the first time. Enter the new password
twice for verification purposes.
The AP’s IP address can be displayed using the following commands.
rfs6000-17EC66>enable
rfs6000-17EC66#config terminal
rfs6000-17EC66(config)# show ip interface brief
-------------------------------------------------------------
INTERFACE IP-ADDRESS/MASK TYPE STATUS PROTOCOL
-------------------------------------------------------------
vlan1 20.1.1.35/24(DCHP) primary UP up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring Controller IP address through CLI
To use a static IP for the device, follow these steps:
rfs6000-17EC66#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
rfs6000-17EC66(config)#self
rfs6000-17EC66(config-device-00-23-68-86-47-DC)#interface vlan 1

Connecting to the Controller via the Web UI for the
First Time
The controllers utilize an initial setup wizard to streamline getting on the network for the first
time. This wizard configures location, network and WLAN settings and assists in the discovery
of Access Points and their connected clients. See the System Reference Guide for the
appropriate controller model on the https://portal.zebra.com/Support/US-EN site more detailed
directions.
Using the Initial Setup Wizard
Every controller is given the default address of 192.168.0.1. A PC or laptop may be reconfigured
with an IP that can access this address.
Using a DHCP Server
By default, a controller is set to be a DHCP client. Connect its GEx port to a DHCP server and it
will obtain an IP address. From the DHCP server, find the DHCP address lease using the MAC
address, which can be found on the back side of the device.
Spectralink VIEW Certified Configuration Guide: Zebra Technologies Corporation
721-1005-000-D.docx September 2015 12
Logging in from GUI for the First Time:
Open a browser and enter in the address bar the address assigned using the wizard or by using
the cli and assigned to VLAN1.
1 Be sure that the browser has the latest Adobe Flash Player installed, which is required
for GUI access.
2 Enter default username and password of ‘admin’ and ‘motorola’ on the 5.5.5.0 version,
‘admin’ and ‘admin123’ on the 5.7.2.0 version. The GUI will prompt to enter a new
password.
3 A confirmation window appears after password change. Click OK to proceed. Now you
are connected to the AP via GUI.
4 A Wizard window pops up when you connect for the first time. The wizard is intended for
quick configuration, which does not cover some of VIEW Certification configurations.

4 Set up admission control to control network loading. The percentage of bandwidth
entered for maximum airtime varies whether the network is using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz,
whether 8020/8030 handsets or 84-Series handsets are in use, and which codec is
selected. On the 84-Series and PIVOT handsets, the high definition codecs G711 Mu,
G711-A, G722 use more bandwidth and the low definition codec G729AB uses less
bandwidth. Click the Admission Control tab and enter a name for the profile. Note that
Maximum Roamed Wireless Clients is set to 100 to avoid limiting by number of clients.
Implicit TSPEC must be unchecked so that data streams can pass while the TSPEC is
being negotiated. Note that the PIVOT handsets support Admission Control on PIVOT
R1.5 and later.
