SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephone Configuration

OAI On/Off 
SpectraLink’s Open Application Interface (OAI) enables third-party 
computer applications to display alphanumeric messages on the 
handset display and take input from the handset keypad. Refer to the 
OAI Specification documentation for information about administering 
the OAI Gateway and the services it can provide. 
If OAI is enabled, and an IP address (called the 
OAI Server IP) is 
available to the handset (either via DHCP or Static IP configuration), 
the handset will communicate with the OAI Gateway at power-on, 
and periodically while it is powered-on. If you don’t have a 
SpectraLink 8000 OAI Gateway installed at your site, you should 
disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery 
life.
To conserve handset battery life, do not enable OAI unless an OAI 
gateway is present and an application is available. 
Admin Password 
The Admin Password controls access to the administration functions 
in the Admin menu. The password must be set in each handset for 
which controlled access is desired. Handsets are shipped without any 
Admin menu password. Data entry for the password uses the 
alphanumeric string entry technique. A password may be up to 32 
characters. Type the password and press the 
Save softkey. A 
confirmation prompt will appear. Type the password again and press 
the 
Save softkey. If the passwords match, the Admin password has 
been set. 
If you Save with no entry, the password is erased and the display will 
not require it before displaying the Admin menu. 
Network Config 
IP Address

enabled or Static IP. Select the mode for operation from the IP 
Address menu:
