Notes on System Configuration
Wireless telephones cannot roam with uninterrupted service
between subnets unless specific LAN components are present.
Certain AP/Ethernet switch combinations establish a layer-2 tunnel
across subnets that enables the handsets to roam. Without this
capability, any call in progress will be dropped when the user
moves out of range and the handset must be power cycled in order
to resume functionality in the new subnet area.
Please see Deploying Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi Telephony for
detailed configuration information when installing multiple SVP
Server models across several different subnets.
Subnets are not recommended in SpectraLink 8000 Telephony
Gateway environments.
IP multicast addresses are used when SpectraLink i640 and 8030
Wireless Telephones are installed. This requires that multicasting
be enabled on the subnet used for the SpectraLink 8000 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.
The SVP Server requires a Cat. 5 cable connection between its
network port and the Ethernet switch. The SVP Server auto-
negotiates to the type of port on the Ethernet switch and supports
10Base-T, 100Base-T, full-duplex and half-duplex port types.
