Introduction  
Customers have reported that the WLAN products described in this  
document operate adequately with SpectraLink Wireless Telephones  
at their location using the software version listed below. For Field  
Verified WLAN products, Polycom has not conducted any testing and  
therefore cannot guarantee interoperability or performance. Polycom  
technical support of interoperability issues for WLAN products  
running versions of software not listed in the table may be subject to  
time and materials charges.  
This document describes the configuration of the Avaya AP-6, AP-7,  
and AP-8 access points (APs) for best known operation with  
SpectraLink Wireless Telephones.

Access Point Capacity and Positioning  
white paper. This document covers the security, coverage, capacity  
and QoS considerations necessary for ensuring excellent voice quality  
with enterprise Wi-Fi networks. For more detailed information on  
wireless LAN layout, network infrastructure, QoS, security and  
8020/8030 Wireless Telephones. This document identifies issues and  
solutions based on Polycom’s extensive experience in enterprise-class  
Wi-Fi telephony, and provides recommendations for ensuring that a  
network environment is adequately optimized for use with  
SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones.  
VLAN Support  
The Avaya AP-6, AP-7, and AP-8 access points have the ability to  
manage different VLANs, each with a unique ESSID. Many times  
customers will choose to place voice devices on a separate VLAN  
from data devices or they may choose to segment their network based  
on security policies.  
When VLANs are enabled, the AP uses 802.1Q tags on traffic entering  
the wired network. These tags must be removed by a VLAN-capable  
switch before the packets reach the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony  
Gateway or SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server. On Cisco switches, the  
switch port to which the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway or  
SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server is connected must be configured as a  
non-trunked, or access port dedicated to the voice VLAN. If the port  
is set to trunked, the SpectraLink 8000 System equipment will not  
recognize the packet.  
If you are using a switch that is not capable of removing these 802.1Q  
tags, the SpectraLink Wireless Telephones must reside on the native  
(or management) VLAN.  
Notes on Configuration  
The AP must support SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact  
your AP vendor if you need to upgrade the AP software.  
If you encounter difficulties or have questions regarding the  
configuration process, please contact the Customer Support Hotline at  
(800) 775-5330. The hotline is open Monday through Friday,  
6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mountain time.

Avaya AP-6, AP-7, AP-8 Access Points  
Access Point Configuration  
(Up to Version 2.4.11)  
1. Connect to the AP via Netscape or Internet Explorer by navigating  
address of the AP).  
2. Note: these configuration steps can also be accomplished using  
the SNMP-based Avaya ScanTool program.  
3. From the main page, click on the Configure link.  
4. To configure WEP settings, obtain the key values from the local  
network administrator and use the Avaya AP-6, AP-7, or AP-8  
User Guide for guidance in programming the encryption settings.  
The WEP configuration screen is reached from the main menu by  
clicking on Configure, followed by Security, followed by Encryption &  
Auth.  
Note that the handsets must each be configured manually with  
the identical WEP settings.  
5. Click Configure, then click the Interfaces link and choose the  
appropriate radio (Slot A or Slot B) to configure.  
6. From the Interfaces tab, confirm that the RTS/CTS Medium Reservation  
Threshold is greater than 600 or disabled.  
7. Set the Transmit Rate field to 11Mb/s.  
8. From the Filtering tab, select the Advanced tab. Enable the Proxy ARP  
function and disable IP/ARP Filtering.  
9. The SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server is disabled by default in the  
ORiNOCO AP-600/AP-4000 access point and must be enabled  
through the command line interface (CLI). The CLI is available  
through both the serial port interface and over the Ethernet  
interface using a Telnet session.  
10. Once in the CLI, the following commands are used to enable SVP:  
a. To check to see if SVP is enabled:  
Type show spectralink, then press Enter; it will display  
enabled or disabled.  
b. To enable SVP:  
Type set speclinkstatus enable, then press Enter.
