1.1

Quick Start Guide

1. A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of
802.11b wireless access points (APs).
2. A TFTP Server must be available on the network in order to load the appropriate
software into the Wireless IP Telephones. See Section 6 "License Management" for
detailed instructions for loading software on Wireless IP Telephones.
3. The Avaya Communication Manager must be connected to your network and
completely operational.
4. The Avaya Voice Priority Processor, which controls the QoS on the wireless LAN for the
Wireless IP Telephones, must be on the same subnet as the Wireless IP Telephones.
5. Download software – See your vendor for instructions about downloading the latest
software. Download the correct Avaya 3641/3645 Wireless IP Telephone software per
Section 6.2 Configuration Process. Download updates to the AVPP software per Part 1
of this document.
6. Add a station on the Avaya Communication Manager for each Wireless IP Telephone.
You will administer each Wireless IP Telephone as an Avaya 4612 IP Telephone.
7. Configure your Wireless IP Telephone to ensure that it is associated with the Wireless
LAN, has the appropriate software and is registered to the Avaya Communication
Manager. See License Management for detailed instructions for loading software onto
Wireless IP Telephones.
The Avaya Voice Priority Processor and all access points must be on the same
subnet.
IP multicast addresses are used by the Avaya 3645 Wireless IP Telephone
system. This requires that multicasting be enabled on the subnet used for the
Avaya 3645 Wireless IP Telephones and AVPP Server.
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.
