2.9System Components

NetLink e340/h340/i640 and 8000 Series Wireless Telephones 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. 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.)

Access points

Supplied by third party vendors, APs 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 NetLink Wireless Telephones are similar to those of wireless data devices. Contact SpectraLink, or a certified SpectraLink distributor, for specific information about your facility’s needs.

The NetLink system must connect to APs that utilize SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact SpectraLink, or a certified SpectraLink distributor, to verify that your AP and its software version are supported.

Ethernet switch

A component in the wired Ethernet LAN infrastructure. Switches interconnect multiple network devices, including APs and other components. Ethernet switches are required to provide the higher performance network connections needed to handle combined voice and data traffic.

Router

A router is an optional component in the wired Ethernet LAN infrastructure that separates a wired LAN into segments so that network traffic is restricted to those segments that are directly involved in the communication. Installation of a network router is recommended in larger networks, where there may be significant network traffic not related to the wireless LAN. A router will isolate the wireless LAN from the associated wired LAN so that they are not impacted by each others’ traffic. The NetLink SVP Servers, the APs, and their associated Ethernet switch must all be on the same “side” of the router.

NetLink SVP Server

The NetLink SVP Server manages call network traffic as detailed in this document.

Administrative computer

An administrative computer is required for setup and maintenance of the NetLink SVP Server. This computer may be temporarily connected directly to the component or to the network; a dedicated computer is not required. Some installations use a laptop to configure and maintain system components.
