LAN Requirements

Network infrastructure

The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway connects to your local area network (LAN). To provide adequate bandwidth and limit collisions, an Ethernet switch is required. The traffic between the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and wireless LAN APs should be isolated as much as possible to avoid additional latency. The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and APs must be on the same logical IP subnet. Inter-subnet roaming is not permitted for wireless devices.

Each SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway to be installed requires a 10 Mb/s switched Ethernet connection.

The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and wireless telephones rely on wireless LAN APs to transmit and receive packets from wireless telephone devices. The APs must be compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs, either frequency hopping or direct sequence spread spectrum radios. To configure a wireless LAN to support SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways and wireless telephones refer to Best Practices for Deploying Enterprise-GradeWi-Fi Telephony.

IP addressing

The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway, along with each of the handsets associated with it, requires an IP address. The system administrator must determine what IP addresses are to be used by the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and APs. Handsets can be configured to use DHCP or Static IP addressing. Record IP address assignments on the Wireless Device Planning Worksheets—one for each SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. These worksheets may be started when the system is installed. The information recorded on them is used in the configuration and continuing administration of the system.
