SpectraLink Corporation	Configuration and Administration–NetLink e340/h340/ i640 Wireless Telephone
	NetLink Telephony Gateway and SpectraLink Radio Protocol

The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones support Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11 specification. SpectraLink offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.

NetLink Wireless Telephones also support the 802.11i protocol including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) pre-shared key (PSK). As vendors introduce access points (APs) that are eligible to become Wi-Fi Certified for WPA-PSK and/or WPA2-PSK, SpectraLink will determine their compatibility with the handsets and include them on the Polycom WLAN Compatibility Table.

The latest software versions are required to support the features described in this document.

2.3Quick Start Guide

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

2.A NetLink Telephony Gateway must be available on the network and the handset must be registered to it in order to load the appropriate software into the handsets. Most installations choose to take advantage of the TFTP server that accompanies the NetLink Telephony Gateway, making a separate TFTP server unnecessary.

3.The NetLink Telephony Gateway or NetLink SVP Server, which controls the QoS on the wireless LAN for the handsets, must be on the same subnet as the handsets and have the proper versions of software.

4.Download the correct NetLink Wireless Telephone software per section 4.2 Configuration Process. Ensure the software is properly loaded on the NetLink Telephony Gateway, or a separate TFTP server.

5.Download updates to the NetLink SVP Server software (if the NetLink SVP Server is installed) per SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server: Administration Guide for SRP Chapter 5, section on Software Updates.

6.Download updates to the NetLink Telephony Gateway software per SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway: Administration Guide for SRP chapter 18, Software Maintenance.

7.Configure your handset to ensure that it associates with the wireless LAN, has the appropriate software and is registered to the appropriate NetLink Telephony Gateway.

IP multicast addresses are used by the NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone. This requires that multicasting be enabled on the subnet used for the NetLink Wireless Telephones, SVP 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.
