AUX AUDIO on SoundStation2W
An auxiliary audio jack exists on the SoundStation2W base station that allows users to plug in
external equipment such as a recording device. However, since it is possible that the base station
could be located in a different room from the console, activation of the AUX AUDIO feature can
only be done from the console. The AUX AUDIO setting on the console is automatically set to OFF.
This setting must be changed to ON each time the feature is to be used in a call. If the AUX AUDIO
setting is switched to ON to allow an external device to be attached, the setting will automatically
default back to OFF once that call is ended.
Co-Existence with Other Wireless Equipment:
SoundStation2W is able to operate in the same environment with other wireless technologies with
little or no performance issues.
Co-existence with 802.11 (WLAN)
802.11 refers to a family of specifications developed for Wireless LAN technology. There are
several specifications in the 802.11 family:
• 802.11a – 5.8 GHz frequency band – no co-existence issues
• 802.11g – 2.4 GHz frequency band – no co-existence issues
• 802.11b – 2.4 GHz frequency band – generally no co-existence issues
While no co-existence issues exist between SoundStation2W and 802.11a & g devices, in rare
cases there can be some minor co-existence issues between SoundStation2W and 802.11b
devices. If the SoundStation2W base station is located less than 12 inches from an 802.11b
device, the 802.11b device may experience < 20% data rate reduction. Please note that this data
loss is below the normal throughput variation for any 802.11b connection in a typical office
environment. In very rare cases, a high 802.11b signal in the immediate vicinity of the
SoundStation2W may cause an occasional click in the 2W audio stream (most noticeable in dial
tone). The best practice is to keep the 2W base station > 6 feet away from any 802.11b device, and
keep the console > 3 feet from any 802.11b device. To maximize the 2W performance, try to keep
the base station close to the area where the console will be used most.
Co-existence with Bluetooth (WPAN)
Bluetooth WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) is a frequency hopping system that operates in
the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Used primarily for cellular phones, wireless headsets, PCs, printers,
and PDAs. Bluetooth has roughly a 30 ft. range. There are two classes of radio power within
Bluetooth – Class 1 (high power) and Class 2/3 (lower power). Generally there are no interference
issues between Bluetooth devices and SoundStation2W. Bluetooth will have no impact on
SoundStation2W voice quality. In the worst case, a Bluetooth Class 1 product will experience less
than 12% data rate reduction within 5 feet of SoundStation2W components. However, please note
that this data rate impact is less than the normal throughput variation for Bluetooth devices in a
typical office environment.
