The NetLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephones support Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11 specification. SpectraLink offers the product
with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.
NetLink Wireless Telephones also support the 802.11i protocol including Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) pre-shared key (PSK). As vendors introduce
access points (APs) that are eligible to become Wi-Fi Certified for WPA-PSK and/or
WPA2-PSK, SpectraLink will determine their compatibility with the handsets and
include them on the Polycom WLAN Compatibility Table.
The latest software versions are required to support the features described
in this document.
2.3 Quick Start Guide
1. A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of
802.11b wireless access points.
2. A NetLink Telephony Gateway must be available on the network and the
handset must be registered to it in order to load the appropriate software into the
handsets. Most installations choose to take advantage of the TFTP server that
accompanies the NetLink Telephony Gateway, making a separate TFTP server
unnecessary.
3. The NetLink Telephony Gateway or NetLink SVP Server, which controls the
QoS on the wireless LAN for the handsets, must be on the same subnet as the
handsets and have the proper versions of software.
4. Download the correct NetLink Wireless Telephone software per section 4.2
Configuration Process. Ensure the software is properly loaded on the NetLink
Telephony Gateway, or a separate TFTP server.
5. Download updates to the NetLink SVP Server software (if the NetLink SVP
Server is installed) per SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server: Administration Guide for
SRP Chapter 5, section on Software Updates.
6. Download updates to the NetLink Telephony Gateway software per SpectraLink
8000 Telephony Gateway: Administration Guide for SRP chapter 18, Software
Maintenance.
7. Configure your handset to ensure that it associates with the wireless LAN, has
the appropriate software and is registered to the appropriate NetLink Telephony
Gateway.
IP multicast addresses are used by the NetLink i640 Wireless Telephone.
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.
