Requirements

To use WAP the following requirements must be met:

• The optiPoint application module is connected to one of the following optiPoint telephones and operational:
  • optiPoint 410 standard (HFA)
  • optiPoint 410 advance (HFA)
  • optiPoint 420 standard (HFA)
  • optiPoint 420 advance (HFA)

You can also run the optiPoint application module on optiPoint 500 telephones, but these do not support the Java function.

• To optimize browser-based administration:
  • You should know the IP address of the optiPoint telephone with the optiPoint application module module you wish to configure.
  • You should have a PC with a Web browser that can access your optiPoint telephone via LAN.

You can also connect a PC (e.g. laptop) directly to one of the telephones listed above using a LAN cable (
