BEST PRACTICES GUIDE

October 2010

Figure 9 - Measuring Network Jitter

In a multiple SVP Server configuration, jitter is measured from the SVP Server that is responsible for the traffic

through a given AP to a wireless telephone. This may be different than the SVP Server that is acting as a proxy for

the wireless telephone to the IP PBX. Refer to Section 4.1.3 for additional multiple SVP Server information.

SpectraLink handsets have a diagnostic option that includes jitter measurement. The calculated jitter shown in this

mode is not the jitter described above because it includes delays in the AP, radio link and queue times inside the

wireless telephone. Jitter information from the handset diagnostic mode should only be used as a guideline for

diagnosing major network or radio link problems.

6.4 DHCP Requirements

The SpectraLink Wireless Telephone is configured by default to utilize DHCP in order to obtain an IP address and

the necessary DHCP options to allow the phone to operate normally. For the different IP protocols available with the

SpectraLink handset there are a number of different DHCP options that would be used. However, there are also a

number of DHCP options that are universal required regardless of the IP protocol implementation. Additionally, the

DHCP options required for a Telephony Gateway implementation vary somewhat from the IP protocol deployments.

Operationally, the handset functions the same regardless of the implementation when using DHCP. This means all

that is changing is the DHCP options the handset will require in order to function properly. For Telephony Gateway

deployments the handset will acquire its IP address from the DHCP server Scope Address Pool and its Subnet mask

in addition to the most basic options from the DHCP server Scope Options. The expectation when deploying a

Telephony Gateway system is that the handset will reside on the same IP subnet as the Gateway in order to

generate the necessary multicast frames that will allow it to locate and register with the Telephony Gateway. Once

the handset registers, the remaining options that would normally be handled via DHCP, such as TFTP, are provided

by the Telephony Gateway.

When the license option in the wireless phone is set for one of the IP protocols the handset will require several other

DHCP options in order to function properly. In addition to the base DHCP options required by the Telephony
