Multicast
IP multicast addresses are used by the WLAN Handset 2211 and the
WLAN IP 6120 Handset Push-to-talk (PTT) feature. The use of IP multicast
addresses requires that multicasting be enabled on the Layer 2 switch
used by the defined group (WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 master
and slaves and wireless handsets).
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.

To reduce the impact that jitter, delay and packet loss has on voice quality,
proper placement of the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 is critical. See
Figure 10 "Maximum delay, jitter and packet loss" (page 66) . The WLAN IP
Telephony Manager 2245 provides three critical functions to help achieve
exceptional voice quality over WLAN:
• Timing
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Connection Admission Control
