SpectraLink Overview
System Speed
SpectraLink Wireless Telephones can operate up to 54 Mb/s in
802.11a and 802.11g modes, and up to 11 Mb/s in 802.11b and b/g-
mixed modes. In the b and b/g-mixed modes, if certain versions of
legacy SpectraLink Wireless Telephones are used in the system, all
handsets running in that mode will operate at the lowest common
capability.
System Components
SpectraLink Wireless Telephones
Employees can carry handsets to place and receive calls as they move
throughout the building. The handsets are to be used on-premises;
they are not cellular or satellite phones. They are connected to the
facility's existing telephone system and to the SpectraLink 8000
Telephony Gateway. 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.)
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway
The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway serves as the connecting
point, or gateway, between the LAN and the existing telephone
system. One or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways are
typically installed in the telephone equipment room. The eight port
model supports up to eight telephone lines and handsets and the 16
port model supports up to 16 telephone lines and handsets. Up to 40
SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways can be connected to the LAN
to support additional telephone lines. If five or more SpectraLink 8000
Telephony Gateways are connected to the LAN, a SpectraLink 8000
SVP Server must be installed to handle the increased call volume.
Polycom offers digital SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways that
work with the digital ports on most common brands of telephone
systems (PBX or key systems). We also offer an analog SpectraLink
