Wireless Phone Installation

Introduction

This section contains information on the installation and configuration of the wireless phone on IP Office.

IP Office acts as a routing mechanism for all wireless phones on its system. Information is routed from

the phone to IP Office and to the AVPP.

The AVPP is the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism that is implemented in the wireless phone and

access point to enhance voice quality. AVPP gives preference to voice packets on the wireless medium,

increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted efficiently. These voice packets are then

re-routed through IP Office and back to the wireless phone.

The IP Office units currently supported with the wireless phones:

• Avaya IP Office 403

• Avaya IP Office 406 (V1 and V2)

• Avaya IP Office 412

Avaya IP Office – Small Office Edition can be optioned as an 802.11b access point (WiFi pcmcia card

and IP400 ACCESS POINT RFA license, to activate the access point software) but without QoS. The

access point is configurable via IP Office Manager.

Other wireless solutions are available for the IP Office – Small Office Edition.

Notes

 The setup for the 3600 series wireless phones requires four major steps:

1. The configuration of the AVPP.

2. The configuration of IP Office.

3. The configuration of the Access Points.

4. The configuration of the 3616/3620/3626 wireless phones.

 With IP Office, the access point resides on the LAN and is configured based on the

manufacturer’s guidelines and manuals. For a list of access points supported, go to
