SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server: Administration Guide for SRP

System Components

Employees can carry wireless telephones to make and receive calls as

they move throughout the building. The wireless telephones are to be

used on-premises; they are not cellular or satellite phones. They are

connected to the facility's existing telephone system and to the

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. Just like wired telephones,

they can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls

to other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject

to the restrictions applied in your facility.)

The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway serves as the connecting

point, or gateway, between the LAN and the existing telephone

system. One or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways are

typically installed in the telephone equipment room. Each

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway supports up to 16 telephone

lines and wireless telephones. Up to 40 SpectraLink 8000 Telephony

Gateways can be connected to the LAN to support additional

telephone lines. If five or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways

are connected to the LAN, a SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server must be

installed to handle the increased call volume.

Polycom offers digital SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways that

work with the digital ports on most common brands of telephone

systems (PBX or key systems). We also offer an analog SpectraLink

8000 Telephony Gateway that works with telephone systems (CO,

PBX, or Key Systems) with analog (loop start) ports.

APs are supplied by third party vendors. They provide the connection

between the wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11) LAN. APs

must be positioned in all areas where wireless telephones will be

used. The number and placement of APs will affect the coverage area

and capacity of the wireless system. Typically, the requirements for

use of SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones are similar to those of
