Introduction MH110/MH120 IP Wireless Telephone Setup and Administration Guide - Revision 1...
The Wireless Telephone operates over an 802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users a wireless voice over IP (VoIP) extension. By seamlessly integrating with the NEC IP telephony system, Wireless Telephone users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace. The Wireless Telephone gives users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while providing all the features and functionality of an IP desk phone.
The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to 11Mb/s. The MH110/MH120 Wireless Telephone supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11b specification. NEC offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption. WEP increases the security of the wireless LAN to a level similar to a wired Ethernet LAN.

Mobile Handset is off-hook will be passed directly to the Mobile Handset display. The Mobile Handset will display up to 18 characters of each line. Certain characters may be used by the supported NEC VoIP solution that are not implemented in the Mobile Handset such as definable and special characters.
Page 24
Line Indicators The line indicators on the Mobile Handset will convert to a solid or flashing number to mimic the icons next to Line keys on the NEC DtermIP-16LD. The text that appears next to the line keys on the IP Phone is accessed on the Mobile Handset by pressing the LINE key.
Mobile Handset Configuration The MH110/MH120 UNIVERGE WL Mobile Handsets (Mobile Handsets) should be provisioned in the supported NEC VoIP solution in the same manner as the NEC DtermIP-16LDs. Each Mobile Handset may be configured for site-specific requirements by opening the Admin menu and selecting options or entering specific information.
Mobile Handset Configuration Entering and Editing Admin Menu options An asterisk (*) next to an option in the display indicates that it is selected. The default settings are shown in Table 4-1. Use the Up, Down, and Select side buttons and the softkeys to navigate and select options.

IP address for each phone from your network administrator. NEC PBX IP The IP address of the NEC PBX call server. If using static IP configuration, this is simply the IP address of the device. DRS Self Port The UDP port of the Mobile Handset used to communicate with the DRS in the NEC PBX.
Mobile Handset Configuration ESSID Select the option that will enable the Mobile Handset to acquire APs with the correct ESSID (Extended Service Set ID, aka SSID) each time it is turned on. Note about Automatic Learn options: Broadcast ESSID must be enabled in the access points for ESSID learning to function.
Mobile Handset Configuration Restore Defaults The Restore Defaults option will set all user and administrative parameters to their factory defaults. Site Survey Mode Site Survey Mode is used to check the signal strength from access points. When you select Site Survey Mode, the Mobile Handset will remain in this mode until it is powered off.
Mobile Handset Configuration Security *NONE disables any 802.11 encryption or security authentication mechanisms. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a wireless encryption protocol that encrypts data frames on the wireless medium allowing for greater security in the wireless network. If WEP/Encryption is required at this site, you must configure each Mobile Handset to correspond with the encryption protocol set up in the access points.
(either via DHCP or Static IP configuration), the telephone will communicate with the OAI Server at power on, and periodically while it is powered on. If you don’t have a NEC OAI Gateway installed at your site, you should disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery life.
4-10 Mobile Handset Configuration Set Admin P.W. The Admin PW (password) controls access to the administration functions in the Admin Menu. The password must be set in each Mobile Handset for which controlled access is desired. Mobile Handsets are shipped without any Admin Menu password. If you exit with no entry, the password is erased and the display will not require it before displaying the Admin Menu.

Certifying MH110/MH120 Mobile Handsets This chapter explains how to conduct a preliminary Site Survey Mode test. Areas where coverage is conflicting, inadequate, or where there are system difficulties should be noted and discussed with your wireless LAN and/or LAN system administrator to determine the cause and possible remedy.
Certifying MH110/MH120 Mobile Handsets Site Survey Mode Signal strength in the covered area is tested by performing a Site Survey. Put a Mobile Handset in Site Survey Mode Refer to “Configuration Process” on page 5-1 for more information. REFERENCE Walk the entire coverage area while viewing the display. The FCN key toggles between the three coverage modes: •...
Certifying MH110/MH120 Mobile Handsets A displayed value of 40 indicates -40dBm, and is therefore a Example: stronger signal than a display of 50 (which indicates -50dBm). At least one access point’s reading should be stronger than -70 dBm in all areas. Note any areas that have inadequate dBm readings.

The MH110/MH120 UNIVERGE WL Mobile Handsets. The MH110/MH120 Handsets use proprietary software programs written and maintained by NEC. The software versions that are running on the Mobile Handsets can be displayed during power on by holding down the Power On key.
10-2 Software Maintenance Table 10-1 Normal Download Messages Messages Descriptions Mobile Handset is contacting the TFTP Server to determine if it has a newer Checking Code version of software that should be downloaded. Mobile Handset has determined that a download should occur and is erasing the current software from memory.
11-1 Troubleshooting Mobile Handset Problems MH110/MH120 UNIVERGE WL Mobile Handsets can exhibit transmission problems in several ways. They can cease functioning properly, display error messages, or display incorrect data. This chapter discusses problem sources that determine the best method of approaching any specific situation when using and troubleshooting Mobile Handsets.
NEC VoIP solution or the Mobile Handset. Configuration problems are generally corrected by changing the configuration at the supported NEC VoIP solution or on the Mobile Handset. There may also be incorrect programming of the AP. Refer to the Configuration Note for the AP in use at the site.
