Overview of Wireless Phone

The 3600 series wireless phone is a mobile handset for workplace IP phone systems. The wireless phone operates over an 802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users with a wireless Voice over IP (VoIP) extension. By integrating with IP Office, wireless phone users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace. The wireless phone gives users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while providing all the features and functionality of an IP desk phone.

The 3600 series wireless phone provides a wireless extension to IP Office. The wireless phone resides on the wireless LAN with other wireless devices using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to 11Mb/s.

A wireless phone must be administered on IP Office for the specific features and lines to be accessed by the wireless phone. After the handset is registered, it receives its configuration information from IP Office.

The wireless phone supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11 specification. Avaya 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.

Notes

IP multicast addresses are used by the 3626 wireless phone Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature. This requires that multicasting be enabled on the subnet used for the wireless phones, Avaya Voice Priority Processor (AVPP) server, and telephony gateways.

Routers are typically configured with filters to prevent multicast traffic from flowing outside of specific domains. The wireless LAN can be placed on a separate VLAN or subnet to reduce the effects of broadcast and multicast traffic from devices in other network segments.

Requirements

1.A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of 802.11b wireless access points.

2.A TFTP server must be available on the network in order to load the appropriate software into the wireless phones. For detailed instructions for loading software on wireless phones, see License Management.

3.IP Office must be connected to the customer network and be completely operational.

4.The AVPP, which controls the QoS on the wireless LAN for the wireless phones, must be on the same subnet as the wireless phone and have the proper versions of software. To download the latest AVPP software, visit www.spectralink.com/softwareupdates.

5.Add a station on IP Office for each wireless phone. You will need to administer each wireless phone as a 4606 IP phone.

Note

For IP Office 403, 406V1, 406V2 and 412 the Voice Compression Module (VCM) is required. The IP Office Small Office Edition (SOE) has built-in VCM Channels for either 3 or 16 simultaneous VoIP calls (depending on which SOE you have).

Configure your wireless phone to ensure that it is associated with the wireless LAN, has the appropriate software and is registered to IP Office.

Note

The AVPP and all access points must be on the same subnet.
