Avaya 3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handset
The Avaya 3641/6120 IP Wireless Handset is a lightweight, durable handset specifically
designed for mobile workplace use. The Avaya 3645/6140 IP Wireless Handset has the
same features and function, but in a more durable design with and includes push-to-talk
and emergency call capability.
Like a wired deskphone, the handset can receive direct calls and transferred calls,
transfer calls to other extensions and make outside and long distance calls. The users
can use the wireless telephones only within the premises and within the WLAN coverage
area.
SVP Server (required when using SVP QoS)
SVP Server is a wired LAN device that is required when using SpectraLink Voice Priority
for QoS. This device may be referred to as the Avaya SVP Server, the Avaya Voice
Priority Processor or the Nortel WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245. See the Avaya SVP
Server Admin Guide for complete information.
Access points
Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi access points provide the connection between the wired LAN
and the wireless LAN. To ensure seamless radio coverage, you must position the VIEW
certified 802.11a/b/g/n APs in all areas where IP Wireless Handsets will be used. The
number, type and placement of access points will affect the coverage area and capacity
of the wireless system. Careful planning of the WLAN is necessary to ensure good voice
quality. See the Best Practices Guide for Deploying SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless
Telephones for additional guidance.
You must properly configure the APs to support the corresponding QoS and security
methods selected for the handset.
Ethernet switch
One or more Ethernet switches interconnect multiple network devices, including the
Avaya SVP Server (if used for QoS), the proxy server(s), wired IP phones, HTTP/TFTP
Server, RADIUS authentication server (if using WPA2 Enterprise) and WLAN access
points. Enterprise Ethernet switches provide the highest performance networks, which
can handle combined voice and data traffic, and are required when using the Avaya
3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handsets.
Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the handsets and the Avaya
SVP Server can operate in larger, more complex networks, including networks with
multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs and/or multiple subnets, as long as the SVP
Server and access points and handsets are on the same subnet. However, in such
