System Components
SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 and
8020/8030 Wireless Telephones
Employees can carry wireless telephones to make and receive calls as
they move through the WLAN coverage area. 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 8000 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.
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.
