Router
– an optional component in the wired Ethernet LAN infrastructure that
separates a wired LAN into segments so that network traffic is restricted to those
segments that are directly involved in the communication. Installation of a network
router is recommended in larger networks, where there may be significant network
traffic not related to the wireless LAN. A router will isolate the wireless LAN from
the associated wired LAN so that they are not impacted by each others’ traffic. The
NetLink Telephony Gateways, the APs, and their associated Ethernet switch must all
be on the same “side” of the router.
•
NetLink SVP Server
– the NetLink SVP Server manages call network traffic. It is a
required component to utilize the 11Mb/s maximum transmission speed available in
the NetLink Wireless Telephone. It is required in any system when five or more
NetLink Telephony Gateways are connected to the LAN. With 40 NetLink Telephony
Gateways cabled together, the NetLink SVP Server supports a maximum of 640
telephone lines and 120 simultaneous Wireless Telephone calls.
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is the SpectraLink quality of service (QoS)
mechanism that is implemented in the Wireless Telephone and AP to enhance voice
quality over the wireless network. SVP gives preference to voice packets over data
packets on the wireless medium, increasing the probability that all voice packets are
transmitted efficiently and with minimum or no delay. SVP is fully compliant with
the IEEE 802.11 and 802.11b standards.
•
Administrative computer
– Required for setup and maintenance of the NetLink
Telephony Gateway and the NetLink SVP Server. This computer may be temporarily
connected directly to the component or to the network, a dedicated computer is not
required. Some installations use a laptop to configure and maintain system
components.
•
TFTP Server
– Required in an IP system to distribute software to the Wireless
Telephones and SVP Server. May be on a different subnet than the IP gateway, IP
telephony server, and APs.
