2. NetLink SVP Server Overview
The NetLink SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN device that works with access points
(APs) to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. Voice packets to and from the NetLink
Wireless Telephones are intercepted by the NetLink SVP Server and encapsulated
for prioritization as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server.
2.1 SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP)
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is the SpectraLink quality of service (QoS)
mechanism that is implemented in the Wireless Telephone and access point (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 delay. SVP is fully
compatible with IEEE 802.11b standards.
NetLink Wireless Telephones support basic WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) if also
supported by the AP as part of the 802.11e protocol. If the AP supports WMM, the
Wireless Telephone automatically discovers and uses it. WMM does not replace the
NetLink SVP Server.
2.2 SVP Server Models
The SVP Server is available in three models. Which model is selected for your facility
depends on current and expected capacity. All SVP Servers within a subnet must be
the same model type.
•SVP100: Serves 80 calls simultaneously.
•SVP020: Serves 20 powered-on handsets.
•SVP010: Serves 10 powered-on handsets.
See the following capacity tables for multiple SVP Server system capacities.
All SVP Server models are installed, configured and administered according to the
instructions in this document. The model information is available on the Software
Version screen. See section 7.3 Software Version .
2.3 The Timing Function
NetLink SVP Servers provide the connection or "gateway" to the IP PBX for the
Wireless Telephones and the "timing" function for active calls. This "gateway"
function is distributed across the SVP Servers.
The number of active SVP Servers is determined dynamically. Whenever SVP
Servers are added to or removed from the system, the distribution of "timing"
function for active calls is affected.
2.4 Internal Gatekeeper
A gatekeeper is required in certain H.323 protocol systems. The gatekeeper that
resides on the SVP Server is designed for small applications using the NetLink
Wireless Telephones under the H.323 protocol as explained in NetLink

SpectraLink Corporation Installation, Configuration, and Administration
NetLink SVP Server (within IP environments)
PN: 72-0178-01-C.doc Page 7
e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone: Configuration and Administration with ITU
H.323 Protocol.
The internal gatekeeper is not designed to scale beyond the capacity of a single SVP
Server and does not provide the advanced features required for larger installations. It
has a limit of 1000 registration records.
2.5 Multiple SVP Servers/Master SVP Server
Multiple SVP Server environments are those which have more than one NetLink
SVP Server. Up to four SVP010 models or up to two SVP020 models may be
installed in any one subnet. Up to 16 models of SVP100 Servers may be installed in
any one subnet. All SVP Servers must be in the same subnet.
In a system comprised of multiple SVP Servers, a master SVP Server must be
identified. The master SVP Server must have a static IP address. The Wireless
Telephones and the other SVP Servers locate the master by using a static IP address,
DHCP, or DNS.
The master SVP Server performs important coordinating functions. The loss of a
non-master SVP Server does not significantly affect the operation of the remaining
SVP Servers but results in the re boot of all handsets. However, the loss of the
master SVP Server results in a loss of all communication between all of the SVP
Servers. This also means that the loss of the master SVP results in the loss of all
active calls and Wireless Telephones cannot check-in until communication with
master is reestablished.
2.6 Multiple NetLink SVP Server Capacities
The system capacity of each SVP Server model is shown in the below tables. Note
that SVP Server models may not be combined within one subnet.
NetLink SVP010 and SVP020 Server Capacity
The system capacity of the SVP010 and SVP020 is measured by number of powered
on handsets. If this number exceeds the maximum, the handset that cannot be
served will display an error and will not connect to the SVP Server. Other handsets
will not be affected.

2.7 Notes on System Configuration
In an IP system using subnets to differentiate telephony areas, each subnet
must have its own access points. Each subnet may require an SVP Server
to maintain voice quality, but this depends on traffic volume and router
capacity.
Multiple SVP Server environments are those which have more than one
SVP Server. A master SVP Server must be identified in a multiple SVP
Server environment.
SVP Server models may not be combined within one subnet. More than
one SVP Server model type may be used within a facility if installed on
different subnets.
Wireless Telephones cannot roam with uninterrupted service between
subnets unless specific LAN components are present. Certain
AP/Ethernet switch combinations establish a layer-2 tunnel across subnets
that enables the handsets to roam. Without this capability, any call in
progress will be dropped when the user moves out of range and the
handset must be power cycled in order to resume functionality in the new
subnet area.
Please see Deploying NetLink Wireless Telephones: Best Practices for
detailed configuration information when installing multiple SVP Server
models across several different subnets.
IP multicast addresses are used by the NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone
system. This requires that multicasting be enabled on the subnet used for
the NetLink Wireless Telephones, SVP Server, and telephony gateways.
Routers are typically configured with filters to prevent multicast traffic
from flowing outside of specific domains. The wireless LAN can be placed
on a separate VLAN or subnet to reduce the effects of broadcast and
multicast traffic from devices in other network segments.
The NetLink SVP Server requires a Cat. 5 cable connection between its
network port and the Ethernet switch. The NetLink SVP Server auto-
negotiates to the type of port on the Ethernet switch and supports 10Base-
T, 100Base-T, full-duplex and half-duplex port types.

2.9 System Components
NetLink e340/h340 and i640 Wireless Telephones
Employees can carry Wireless Telephones to make and receive calls as they move
throughout the building. 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.)
The NetLink e340/h340 Wireless Telephone is a lightweight, durable handset
specifically designed for mobile workplace use within a facility. The NetLink i640
Wireless Telephone offers a durable design with push-to-talk functionality.
NetLink Wireless Telephones can operate on an 802.11b wireless network and can
operate at a transmission rate of up to 11Mb/s.
Access Points
Supplied by third party vendors, access points provide the connection between the
wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11) LAN. Access points (AP) must be
positioned in all areas where Wireless Telephones will be used. The number and
placement of access points will affect the coverage area and capacity of the wireless
system. Typically, the requirements for use of NetLink Wireless Telephones are
similar to that of wireless data devices. Contact SpectraLink, or a certified
SpectraLink distributor, for specific information about your facility’s needs.
The NetLink system must connect to access points that utilize SpectraLink Voice
Priority (SVP). Contact SpectraLink, or a certified SpectraLink 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 access points and other components. Ethernet
switches are required to provide the higher performance network connections
needed to handle combined voice and data traffic.
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 SVP Servers, 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 as detailed in this document.

Administrative computer
Required for setup and maintenance of 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.

PN: 72-0178-01-C.doc Page 16
4. Configuring the NetLink SVP Server
During initial setup of the NetLink SVP Server the IP address is established and the
maximum number of active calls per access point is set. Optionally, you may enter a
hostname and a location for software updates via TFTP.
4.1 Connecting to the NetLink SVP Server
The initial connection to the NetLink SVP Server must be made via a serial
connection to establish the NetLink SVP Server’s IP address. After the IP address is
established, connection to the NetLink SVP Server may be done via the network
using telnet. It is recommended that the basic setup actions occur while the serial
connection is made.
Connect via the Serial Port
1. Using a DB-9 female, null-modem cable, connect the NetLink SVP Server to the
serial port of a terminal or PC.
2. Run a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal™) or use a VT-100
terminal with the following configuration:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
3. Press Enter to display the NetLink SVP Server login screen.
4. Enter the default login: admin and default password: admin. These are case
sensitive.
5. The NetLink SVP-II System menu will display.
Connecting Via Telnet
Telnet can only be used after the NetLink SVP Server’s IP address is
configured.
The telnet method of connection is used for routine maintenance of the NetLink
Server for both local and remote administration, depending on your network.
To connect via telnet, run a telnet session to the IP address of the NetLink SVP
Server. Once you connect and log in, the NetLink SVP-II System menu displays.

4.3 Network Configuration
The IP address and other network settings are established via the Network
Configuration screen. This is also where you may optionally establish a hostname and
enter the IP address of the location of any software updates you may obtain from
SpectraLink. See section 6, the Software Maintenance section, of this document for
more information about installing software updates via TFTP.
Scroll to Network Configuration and select by pressing Enter. A screen similar to the
following appears:
Note the navigation options at the bottom of the screen. Press Enter to change a
value, ESC to exit the screen, and the arrow keys to move the cursor.
Send All
In an IP system with multiple NetLink SVP Servers, the SendAll option is provided
to speed configuration and ensure identical settings. The S=SendAll option allows you
to send that configuration parameter to every NetLink SVP Server on the LAN.
SendAll can only be used after the IP address is established on EACH NetLink SVP
Server via the serial connection. If you anticipate identical settings across the LAN,
set just the IP address and custom hostname (if desired) for each NetLink SVP
Server using the initial serial connection. Then connect via the LAN and use SendAll
to set identical configuration options for all NetLink SVP Servers.
If SendAll is to be utilized in your system, all passwords must be identical. DO NOT
CHANGE THE PASSWORD AT THE INITIAL CONFIGURATION IF THE
SEND ALL OPTION IS DESIRED. Use the default password and change it
globally if desired after a LAN connection is established for all NetLink SVP Servers.
If independent administration of each NetLink SVP Server is desired, the passwords
may be set at initial configuration.
