Access points must utilize SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact SpectraLink, or
a certified SpectraLink distributor, for information about APs that support SVP.
• Ethernet Switch – interconnects multiple network devices, including the NetLink
SVP Server, the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system, Mitel Networks IP
Phones and the access points. Ethernet switches provide the highest performance
networks, which can handle combined voice and data traffic, and are required when
using the NetLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephones.
Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the Wireless Telephones
and the NetLink SVP Server can operate in larger, more complex networks, including
networks with multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs, and/or multiple subnets,
as long as the SVP Server and access points are on the same subnet. However, in such
networks, it is possible for the quality of service (QoS) features of the NetLink SVP
Server to be compromised, and voice quality may suffer. Any network that consists of
more than a single Ethernet switch should be thoroughly tested to ensure any quality
issues are detected.
Note that the SpectraLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephones cannot “roam” from one
subnet to another. If routers and multiple subnets are in use, the Wireless Telephones
must only use access points attached to a single subnet, or be powered off and back
on to switch to a different subnet.
• Mitel Networks IP Phone – The wired LAN desksets provided by Mitel Networks
for use with the supported Mitel Networks IP telephony system.
• TFTP Server – Required in the system to distribute software to the Wireless
Telephones. May be on a different subnet than the supported Mitel Networks IP
telephony device(s) and APs.
