3. NetLink Component Setup Sequence Generally, the installation and configuration process follows these steps.
1. WLAN Set up the LAN: A wireless LAN must be properly configured and
operational through the use of 802.11b wireless access points (APs). All NetLink
components must be on the same subnet. See the Polycom WLAN Compatibility
Table for APs that have been tested with NetLink Wireless Telephones. A TFTP
server must be present in a system that does not use SRP. The NetLink
Telephony Gateways functions as a TFTP server in SRP environments.
2. Access Point Configuration Access points (APs) are NOT configured from
the Administration Console. They are administered independently as covered in
the Access Point Configuration Guide for the specific type of access point in use.
3. Install NetLink Telephony Gateway Install the NetLink Telephony
Gateway(s) and the NetLink SVP Server(s), if required per document
instructions. This entails the physical placement of the devices and their related
equipment.
Install NetLink SVP Server Required for other IP protocols, required if five
or more NetLink Telephony Gateways are installed, optional if fewer than five
NetLink Telephony Gateways are installed.
4. Software Update: Ensure the most recent software is installed on the NetLink
Telephony Gateway and/or NetLink SVP Server. Download and install more
recent versions, if necessary. Downloads for NetLink components are available
