The WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 works with the APs to provide QoS on the WLAN. All voice packets are encapsulated by the WLAN handsets. The encapsulated voice packets to and from the WLAN handsets are handled by the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 and routed to and from the BCM.
SVP is the QoS mechanism implemented on the WLAN handsets and APs to enhance voice quality over the wireless network. SVP gives preference to voice packets over data packets on the wireless medium, increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted with minimum delay. SVP is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.11 and 802.11b standards.
Each subnet where the WLAN handsets operate requires at least one WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245. One unit can process 90 simultaneous calls. If greater capacity is required, multiple units can be used in a
