Overview Call Server The Call Server can be the Call Server of any Avaya Communication Server 1000 (Avaya CS 1000) system running Communication Server 1000 Release 4.5 or later software for Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset and or Succession 3.0 or later for WLAN Handset 2210/2211/2212.
The handsets interoperate with other IP Line and IP Trunk features and devices, such as IP Peer, and the IP Phone 20xx and Avaya 2050 IP Softphone series of IP Phones, with the exception of some media-related constraints described in Codecs on page 87.
Overview The WLAN Handset 2211 and the Avaya 6140 WLAN Handset are the most durable and they are the only handsets that support Push-to-talk (PTT). For more information about the handsets, see the following publications: • Avaya WLAN Handset 2210 User Guide (NN10300-077) •...
LAN device that the SpectraLink Voice Priority for QoS requires (not required when WMM is enable for Avaya 6100 Series WLAN Handsets). Avaya VoIP System The handset operates as a wireless extension of the Avaya BCM, Meridian 1, and Succession 1000 call server, using the UNIStim voice protocol. WiFi Access Points (AP) Enterprise-grade WiFi access points provide the connection between the wired LAN and the wireless LAN.
Networks that consist of more than a single Ethernet switch must be thoroughly tested to ensure all quality issues are addressed. For more information, see Best Practices Guide for Deploying Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset Wireless Telephones. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server A TFTP server requires the system to distribute software to the Wireless Telephones and WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245.
The handsets support Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined by the 802.11a, b, and g specification. Avaya offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption. WEP increases the security of the wireless LAN to a level similar to a wired Ethernet LAN.

Use unassigned key sequences (For example, Fcn + 8, 9, #, *) for OAI access.
WLAN; all Wireless Telephones on the network must have the same QoS setting. SpectraLink Voice Priority is a proprietary method of WLAN QoS, developed by Polycom, to ensure Enterprise-grade voice quality, battery life, and call capacity for Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset. SpectraLink Voice Priority requires the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, which is an Ethernet LAN device that works in conjunction with WiFi APs to ensure QoS over the WLAN.
WLAN Handset 2210/2211/2212 and Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handset Security The following security methods are supported by the handset. WPA2 Enterprise The handset supports WPA2 Enterprise, as defined by the WiFi Alliance. WiFi Protected Access2, which is based on the 802.11i standard, provides government-grade security by implementing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm.

SVP is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.11 and 802.11a, b, and g standards. Avaya does not support use of ICMP Network Redirection with VoWLAN applications due to degraded routing and network performance. The 2245 WLAN Handset, upon receiving an ICMP redirect, will update its routing table and attempt to send packets through the new route, however this is not instantaneous.
Wireless handsets cannot roam with uninterrupted service between subnets unless specific LAN components are present. Certain AP/Ethernet switch combinations establish a Layer-2 tunnel across subnets that enable the handsets to roam. Without this capability, any call in Avaya WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Commissioning November 2010...
If a wireless handset is out of contact with the system for four seconds (worst case scenario) during UNIStim messaging, a UNIStim failure could occur and cause the wireless handset to lose the UNIStim association with the Line Telephony Proxy Server (LTPS).

TFTP process. The actual software files are specific to either the WLAN Handset 2200 series or the Avaya 6100 S Series WLAN Handset. At an installation, which uses both the WLAN Handsets 2210/2211/2212 and the Avaya 6120/6140 WLAN Handsets, the software files for both handset series must be installed and available on the TFTP server for the site.
To reduce the number of retries and error messages, manage the download process by staggering the times the wireless handsets download the software. Avaya has tested the following TFTP servers. They are listed in order of preference. • TFTP server (ONMS application) • 3COM TFTP •...
Avaya recommends the use of the Site Survey Tool to perform the site survey. A site survey is critical to designing and implementing a wireless LAN. The site survey is used to determine the number of APs needed to support the wireless handset users and to determine the best placement of the APs.
Page 50
Planning For information about using the Site Survey mode, see Avaya WLAN Handsets Fundamentals (NN43001-505). Important: The handsets do not require connectivity to a WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 or the Call Server to enable the Site Survey mode to be used. The minimum configuration required is the Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) of the WLAN or test AP and the WEP keys, if applicable.

To maximize security and to minimize accessibility for unnecessary traffic to reach the WLAN Handsets, Avaya recommends that you adopt the following measures: • Create a separate VLAN for voice traffic and map the handsets to this VLAN to mask the handsets from other devices on the network.
The resolution of problems takes you back through the assessment, predeployment (QoS configuration), and monitoring phases again. Avaya ties this business cycle together seamlessly with a set of products that provide a comprehensive solution. This solution is comprised of integrated and innovative standards- based technologies, such as Real Time Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP-XR) for detailed real-time management of calls in progress.
You can configure several nodes in various parts of the network, to simulate calls to and from those areas. Each node simulates call volumes through traffic generation so that you can stress-test access links, backbones, and WAN links as necessary.

Telephony Manager Communication Server 1000 Telephony Manager is an element manager for the Communication Server 1000, as well as a platform for receiving traps and collecting call statistics and other performance-related data. Call and performance statistics are collected from the Communication Server 1000 and stored on the Communication Server 1000 Telephony Manager server.
Vivinet Diagnostics is a product that can be purchased separately and used in conjunction with Vivinet AppManager. After Vivinet AppManager receives a call-quality alert from an Avaya voice system such as a Communication Server 1000 or Avaya Business Communications Manager (Avaya BCM) for a call in progress, AppManager generates an alert.
Server 1000, preferably through the Communication Server 1000 Telephony Manager. Zones Avaya recommends that the handsets be assigned to dedicated zones. The zones can be used to manage the bandwidth of the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 groups. As well, zone designations can be used to list the wireless handsets that are currently registered or are registered using LD 117 commands.

NAT environment. Failure to comply with or heed these considerations can result in wireless handset malfunction. For detailed information about NAT and the NAT Traversal feature, see Avaya IP Line Fundamentals (NN43001-500). Avaya WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Commissioning...
WLAN equipment must reside on the private side of the NAT router. Network configurations The WLAN Handset 2212 has a VPN feature that enables an IPsec tunnel to an Avaya VPN Router, which is the only IPsec platform supported today. This feature alters some of the usual design recommendations for the telephony components, such as the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245.
Page 93
Figure 19: VPN design over a Layer 2 network Avaya WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Commissioning November 2010...
Page 94
To support such a scenario, you must configure static routes on the public interface as well as inject those routes into the routing protocol on the private Avaya WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Commissioning November 2010...
Therefore, Avaya recommends that you do not use the network design shown in Figure 21: Not recommended VoWLAN design on page 95 as a design for the VPN feature. Figure 21: Not recommended VoWLAN design If you deploy the VPN feature of the WLAN Handset 2212 in a mixed network where WLAN Handsets 2211/2210s are also in use, the design recommendation becomes a little more complex.
If a separate DHCP Server is used, it must be located on the private side of the network. See Figure 22: Network configuration 3 with Full DHCP Server on page 96 for more information. Figure 22: Network configuration 3 with Full DHCP Server Avaya WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Commissioning November 2010...
Alternatively, the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 can be placed on the private side of the network. Avaya CS 1000 features Nearly all Avaya CS 1000 features are supported on the wireless telephone system and WLAN Handsets 22x1. Partially supported features are listed in Table 14: Partially supported Communication Server 1000 features on page 97.
