Access Points
Supplied by either Avaya or third party vendors, access points provide the connection between the wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11b) LAN. Access points must be positioned in all areas where wireless phones will be used. The number and placement of access points will affect the coverage area and capacity of the wireless system. Typically, the requirements for use of wireless phones are similar to that of wireless data devices.
The wireless phones must connect to access points that use AVPP. For a complete list of access points supported, go to:

Ethernet Switch
Interconnects multiple network devices, including the AVPP, IP Office, IP Phones and the access points. Ethernet switches provide the highest performance networks, which can handle combined voice and data traffic, and are required when using the wireless phones.
Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the wireless phones and the AVPP can operate in larger, more complex networks, including networks with multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs and/or multiple subnets. However, in such networks, it is possible for the Quality of Service (QoS) features of the AVPP to be compromised and voice quality may suffer. Any network that consists of more than a single Ethernet switch should be thoroughly tested to ensure any quality issues are detected.
Note
The 3600 series wireless phones cannot “roam” from one subnet to another. If routers and multiple subnets are in use, the wireless phones must only use access points attached to a single subnet, or be powered off and back on to switch to a different subnet.
