System Components
SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 and
8020/8030 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
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones are similar to those of wireless
data devices. Contact Polycom, or a certified Polycom distributor, for
specific information about your facility’s needs.
The SpectraLink system must connect to APs that utilize SpectraLink
Voice Priority (SVP). Contact Polycom, or a certified Polycom
distributor, to verify that your AP and its software version are
supported.

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

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
