4 Examines the master configuration file for the name of the application file, and then
looks for this file on the provisioning server.
If the copy on the provisioning server is different than the one stored in device settings,
or there is no file stored in flash memory, the application file is downloaded.
5 Extracts the Spectralink Software from flash memory.
6 Installs the application into RAM, then uploads an event log file from the boot cycle.
The Updater will then terminate, and the Spectralink Software will take over.
What is the Spectralink Software?
The Spectralink Software manages the protocol stack, the digital signal processor (DSP), the
user interface, and the network interaction. The Spectralink Software implements the following
functions and features on the handsets:
VoIP signaling for a wide range of voice telephony functions using SIP signaling for call
setup and control
Industry standard security techniques for ensuring that all provisioning, signaling, and
media transactions are robustly authenticated and encrypted across the WLAN
Advanced audio signal processing for handset, headset, and speakerphone
communications using a wide range of audio codecs
Flexible provisioning methods to support single handset, small business, and large multi-
site enterprise deployments
The software is a binary file image and contains a digital signature that prevents tampering or
the loading of rogue software images.
Each release of software includes a new image file.
Both the Updater and Spectralink Software run on all 84-Series handset models that Spectralink
currently supports.
What are the configuration files?
The Spectralink Software that you download contains configuration file templates, valid XML
files that you can edit using an XML editor. These files contain all the parameters explained in
this document that provision the handsets with features and settings. The configuration files are
very flexible: you can rearrange the parameters within the file, move parameters to new files, or
create your own configuration files with only those parameters you want. This flexibility is useful
when you want to apply the same features and settings to a large number of handsets. Use of
the configuration files to provision the handsets with features and settings is called the
centralized provision method – the configuration files enable you to store a single set of
configuration files on a central provisioning server and configure all of your handsets to read the
same set of files. You can also configure a subset of handsets to use only specific files, thereby
deploying different handsets with different sets of features.
