2.NetLink Overview
There are two basic types of NetLink environments – those that utilize SpectraLink Radio Protocol (SRP) with the NetLink Telephony Gateway and those that use IP protocols from
2.1NetLink Telephony Gateway (SRP) environments
The components that must be installed and configured in a SRP system are the NetLink Telephony Gateway and NetLink Wireless Telephones. The NetLink SVP Server is required for systems that use five or more NetLink Telephony Gateways.
Software for the NetLink Wireless Telephones resides on the NetLink Telephony Gateway, which functions as a TFTP server for
Configuration is done through system menus for the NetLink Telephony Gateway and NetLink SVP Server. These are usually viewed via a computer that is connected to the device through a serial port
A NetLink SVP Server is required if a NetLink system has five or more NetLink Telephony Gateways. In even larger systems, additional NetLink SVP Servers are required. NetLink SVP Server menus and options are fully described in SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server: Administration Guide for SRP.
NetLink Wireless Telephones are configured after the NetLink Telephony Gateway and NetLink SVP Server are installed and configured. The complete NetLink Wireless Telephone configuration instructions are in SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone Configuration and Administration Guide (SRP).
2.2Other IP Protocol environments
The NetLink components that must be installed and configured in other IP protocol environments are the NetLink SVP Server and NetLink Wireless Telephones. NetLink SVP Server menus and options are fully described in SpectraLink SVP Server: Administration Guide for Mitel and Cisco.
Each type of IP protocol requires a different configuration for the NetLink Wireless Telephones. IP protocols that are available are listed in the Referenced Documents in section 1.3. The complete NetLink Wireless Telephone configuration instructions for the available IP protocols are in SpectraLink Wireless Telephone: Configuration and Administration for [IP Protocol]. Additional protocols may be available. Contact SpectraLink Customer Service for assistance.
A TFTP server must be designated on the WLAN for updating the NetLink SVP Server and the NetLink Wireless Telephones.
