WLAN Handset 2210/2211/2212 and WLAN Handset 6120/6140 19
Employees carry wireless handsets to make and receive calls as they
move throughout the building. The handsets are used only on the
premises; they are not cellular phones. The handsets communicate with
the CS 1000 and with the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245. Just like
wired telephones, the wireless handsets receive calls directly, receive
transferred calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and
long-distance calls (subject to corporate restrictions).
The handsets interoperate with other IP Line and IP Trunk features and
devices, such as IP Peer, and the IP Phone 20xx and IP Softphone 2050
series of IP Phones, with the exception of some media-related constraints
described in “Codecs” (page 73).
The frequencies that are allocated are governed by IEEE guidelines for
WLANs and are part of the free spectrum. The WLAN Handset 6120/6140
uses a, b, and g frequencies, and the WLAN Handset 2210/2211/2212
uses the b frequency.
The handsets work only in a Nortel Succession 3.0 (and later) environment
coordinated with a Communication Server (CS) 1000 or Business
Communications Server (BCM). These handsets communicate with the
Nortel call server through the Unified Network IP Stimulus (UNIStim)
protocol. The media path of the voice call goes from the handset directly
to the destination device (through the WLAN Telephony Manager 2245).
In addition, the handset encapsulates all traffic in the SpectraLink
Voice Priority (SVP) protocol. The WLAN Telephony Manager 2245
deencapsulates the VoIP traffic from SVP and passes it onto the
network—it does not translate between UNIStim and SVP. Therefore, the
Telephony Manager 2245 is in the path of all communication to and from
the handset. Likewise, signaling goes from the handset to the Telephony
Manager 2245 to the call server.
The WLAN Handset 2211 and the WLAN Handset 6140 are the most
durable and they are the only handsets that support Push-to-talk (PTT).
