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.
