Firmware for the WLAN Handset 6100 Series 29
(AP) use radio frequencies to transmit signals to and from the wireless
handsets. For best quality of service (QoS) performance the Access Point
should be SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP)-compliant.
Wireless Security Switch (WSS)
The Wireless Security Switch acts as an aggregation point for multiple
access points or ports, as well as, a gateway from the Wireless LAN into
the wired LAN. Wireless Security Switches allow the handset to roam from
subnet to subnet while retaining its IP address.
UNIStim Security is not supported, all IP traffic from the access point
onwards (into the wired LAN) is not encrypted.

WLAN Charger
The wireless handset comes with a charger to recharge the battery pack.
You must have the Nortel Networks WLAN Handset Desktop Charger
appropriate for the model of handset.
The WLAN Handset 6100 Series Chargers have three models: Single slot,
Dual-slot, and Quad-slot. The Dual-slot charger has a USB port.
Firmware for the WLAN Handset 6100 Series
Unlike previous generations of WLAN handsets, the WLAN Handset 6100
Series has its own dedicated software, firmware load version 115.xyz.
The WLAN Handset 6100 Series handset software is stored in flash
memory and can be upgraded in two different ways:
•
Over-the-air transfer of firmware updates from a designated TFTP
server to the wireless handsets:
The download function in the wireless handset checks the firmware
version every time the wireless handset is turned on. If there is any
difference in the firmware version, the wireless handset immediately
begins to download the update.
If the TFTP Server cannot be reached at the time the wireless handset
is powered on, resets, or comes back into a WLAN service area, the
wireless handset tries a few times to contact the TFTP Server, after
which it reverts to using the existing firmware.
• Direct download from a PC via USB port:
When the handset is docked in the dual charger cradle, software
images can be downloaded into the phone. This method is especially
useful for test terminals, but not advisable for larger deployments.
