• SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP)
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is a QoS approach for Wi-Fi deployments. SVP is an
open specification that is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b standard. SVP minimizes
delay and prioritizes voice packets over data packets on the WLAN, which increases the
probability of better network performance.

Security Features

The DWL-3500AP and DWL-8500AP access points provide several different security levels
and options:
• Prevent SSID Broadcast
• Weak Initialization Vector (IV) avoidance
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2)
• WPA Personal
• WPA Enterprise
• IEEE 802.11i Architecture Support
• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
• MAC address filtering
• Secure Sockets Shell (SSH)
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
• IEEE 802.1X Supplicant

Networking

The DWL-3500AP and DWL-8500AP access points have the following networking features:
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support for dynamically obtaining
network configuration information.
• Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support
• Eight virtual access points (VAPs) per radio
For each VAP, you can configure a unique SSID name, a default VLAN ID, a security
mode, external RADIUS server information, and radio association. Additionally, you can
configure dynamic VLANs on an external RADIUS server.
• HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and SSH
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
