WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 configuration
OAI on/off
Nortel Networks Open Application Interface (OAI) enables the wireless handset to connect with
the optional WLAN Application Gateway 2246. This device allows third-party computer
applications to display alphanumeric messages on the wireless handset display and take input from
the wireless handset keypad.
If a WLAN Application Gateway 2246 is installed in the system, OAI may be optionally enabled
in each wireless handset. Select whether the wireless handset should attempt to connect to the
WLAN Application Gateway 2246 by choosing either the Enable or Disable options in this menu.
By default, OAI is disabled.
If OAI is enabled, and a WLAN Application Gateway 2246 IP address is available to the wireless
handset (either through DHCP or Static IP configuration), then the wireless handset communicates
with the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 at power-on, and then periodically during the time the
wireless handset is powered on.
If a WLAN Application Gateway 2246 is not installed at the site, leave the OAI feature disabled to
preserve network bandwidth and battery life.
Admin PW
The optional Admin Password (PW) controls access to the administration functions in the Admin
Menu of the wireless handset. Configure the password in each wireless handset for which
controlled access is desired. Wireless handsets are shipped without an Admin password.
Downloading the WLAN handset firmware
All WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 are shipped with a generic firmware load that allows them to
associate to a WLAN and download their functional firmware from a TFTP Server. The wireless
handsets do not function properly without downloading their appropriate firmware.
Note: If this option is selected on a wireless handset that already has a configured
password, and the Exit softkey is pressed with no entry, the password is erased. This
means that the wireless handset will not require an Admin Password to access the Admin
Menu.
Tip: Record the wireless handset Admin password and store it in a safe place. If the
password is lost or forgotten, contact Nortel Networks Technical Support.
Note: It is the customer’s responsibility to download the firmware upgrades from the
Nortel Networks web site to the TFTP Server.
