SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones use voice over IP (VoIP)
technology on IEEE 802.11b-compatible wireless local area networks
(WLANs). Access points utilize radio frequencies to transmit signals
to and from the SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones.

Access Point Capacity and Positioning
Each site is unique in its AP requirements. Please take the following
points into account when determining how many APs are needed and
where they should be placed in the facility.
Handset range
There must be wireless LAN coverage wherever SpectraLink 8000
Wireless Telephones will be used. The typical range for a SpectraLink
8000 Wireless Telephone is comparable to that of a laptop computer
utilizing a wireless LAN PC card. However, SpectraLink 8000
Wireless Telephones are likely to be used in areas where data devices
are not typically used, such as stairwells and outdoor areas.
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones have a Site Survey mode that
displays dBm levels to determine adequate WLAN coverage. Refer to
the Administration Guide for your SpectraLink Wireless Telephones
for details about this feature.
Number of handsets per access point
Estimate the number of SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones and
their anticipated call volume per AP area to ensure that the maximum
number of calls per AP will not be exceeded. In this estimate, consider
the data rates at which the handsets will operate. Higher data rates
can only be sustained while well within the range of the AP. If the
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones will be operating near the
limits of the RF coverage from the AP, they will automatically drop to
1 Mb/s operation. SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones require
approximately 15% of the available bandwidth per call for 1 Mb/s
operation, approximately 10% of the available bandwidth per call for
2 Mb/s operation, approximately 7% of the available bandwidth per
call for 5.5 Mb/s operation, and approximately 5% of the available
bandwidth per call for 11Mb/s operation.
The maximum number of telephone calls per AP quoted in the
summary table above is based on 11 Mb/s operation, and will be
reduced if some or all SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones are
operating at 1, 2, or 5.5 Mb/s.
LAN bandwidth
Estimate anticipated peak call volume to ensure that the LAN has
enough bandwidth available to handle the network traffic generated

PN: 1725-36050-001_H.doc 5
by all of the wireless devices. Network traffic can be
monitored/analyzed using a network sniffer or a simple network
management protocol (SNMP) workstation.
Number of other wireless devices per AP
The SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones share bandwidth with
other wireless devices. To ensure adequate RF bandwidth availability,
consider the number of wireless data devices in use per AP.
Notes on Configuration
The AP must support SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP). Contact
your AP vendor if you need to upgrade the AP software.
If you encounter difficulties or have questions regarding the
configuration process, please contact the Customer Support Hotline at
(800) 775-5330. The hotline is open Monday through Friday,
6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mountain time.

Access Point Configuration
1. Connect to the AP via Netscape or Internet Explorer by navigating
to the URL http://<IP_Addr> (where <IP_Addr> is the IP
address of the AP). Note: these configuration steps can also be
accomplished using the Orinoco ScanTool program.
2. From the main page, click the Configure link.
3. To configure WEP settings, obtain the key values from the local
network administrator and use the AP-600b, AP-2000 User Guide
for guidance in programming the encryption settings. The WEP
configuration screen is reached from the main menu by clicking
Configure, followed by Security, followed by Encryption.
Note that the SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones must each be
configured manually with the identical WEP settings.
4. Click Configure, then click the Interfaces link and choose the
appropriate radio (Slot A or Slot B) to configure.
5. From the Interfaces tab confirm that the RTS/CTS Medium Reservation
Threshold is greater than 600 or disabled.
6. Set the Multicast Transmit Rate to 11Mb/s.
7. Next go to the Bridge tab, select SpectraLink VoIP to ensure that
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is enabled.
8. Conditional: If the AP’s software version is 2.5.xx or later, SVP
must be activated using the Avaya command line interface (CLI).
a. Connect to the access point via serial interface or Telnet.
b. Check to see if SVP is enabled by typing show spectralink,
then press Enter.
c. enabled or disabled will display.
d. Enable SVP by typing set speclinkstatus enable, then
press Enter.
9. From the Bridge tab, select Advanced Filtering. Enable the Proxy ARP
function and disable IP/ARP Filtering.
10. From the Commands tab, restart the AP.
The AP is now ready for use with SpectraLink 8000 Wireless
Telephones.
