IP multicast addresses are used by the SpectraLink i640 and 8030
Wireless Telephone. This requires that multicasting be enabled on
the subnet used for the SpectraLink 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 VLAN or subnet to reduce the effects
of broadcast and multicast traffic from devices in other network
segments.
The specifications covered here allow for great flexibility in physical
placement of the components within stated guidelines.
