The 3606 Wireless IP Telephone
The 3606 Wireless IP Telephone uses voice over IP technology on IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless local area
networks (LANs). The 3606 Wireless IP Telephones are part of a system that includes third-party access points
(APs) cabled together via a switched hub. The APs utilize radio frequencies to transmit signals to and from the
3606 Wireless IP Telephones.
After configuring the APs according to the instructions below, telephone calls per AP must be configured in the
system per the AP system installation documentation. WEP and Automatic Learn must be programmed into
each wireless telephone per Avaya™ 3606 Wireless IP Telephone Installation and Configuration Guide.

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:
•
Wireless Telephone range: There must be wireless LAN coverage wherever the 3606 Wireless IP
Telephones will be used. The typical range for a 3606 Wireless IP Telephone is comparable to that of a
laptop computer utilizing a wireless LAN PC card. However, wireless telephones are likely to be used in
areas where data devices are not typically used, such as stairwells and outdoor areas.
