IP multicast addresses are used by the SpectraLink 8030 Wireless
Telephone. This requires that multicasting be enabled on the
subnet used for the SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones,
SVP Server, and Telephony Gateways.
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 virtual LAN (VLAN) or subnet to
reduce the effects of broadcast and multicast traffic from devices in
other network segments.
1. A wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational
through the use of 802.11 wireless APs.
2. A SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway must be available on the
network and the handset must be registered to it in order to load
the appropriate software into the handsets. A separate network
TFTP server is required to distribute software to the handsets.
3. The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and SpectraLink 8000
SVP Server must be on the same subnet as the handsets and have
the proper versions of software.
