3606 Wireless IP Telephone
Installation and Configuration Guide

2. 3606 Wireless IP Telephone Overview

The 3606 Wireless Telephone is a mobile handset for workplace IP telephone systems. The Wireless
Telephone operates over an 802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users a wireless voice over IP
(VoIP) extension. By seamlessly integrating with an Avaya Call Server (such as an Avaya
™
MultiVantage on a DEFINITY
Gateway), Wireless Telephone users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications
throughout the workplace. The Wireless Telephone gives users the freedom to roam throughout the
workplace while providing all the features and functionality of an IP desk phone.
The 3606 Wireless IP Telephone provides a wireless extension to the Avaya Call Server. The Wireless
Telephones reside on the wireless LAN with other wireless devices using Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to 11Mb/s.
A Wireless Telephone must be administered on the Avaya Call Server for the specific features and
lines to be accessed by the Wireless Telephone. After the handset is registered, it receives its
configuration information from the Avaya Call Server.
The 3606 Wireless IP Telephone supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11
specification. Avaya offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption. WEP increases the
security of the wireless LAN to a level similar to a wired Ethernet LAN.

Quick Start Guide

1. A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of 802.11b wireless
access points (APs).
