WLAN Quality of Service

PN: 1725-36038-001-L.doc
The SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones is a Wi-Fi handset
for workplace telephone systems. The handsets operate over a VIEW
Certified 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) providing users a
wireless extension of the SIP call server. By seamlessly integrating
into a SIP environment, wireless telephone users are provided with
high-quality mobile voice communications throughout the workplace,
giving users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while
providing all the features and functionality of a wired SIP desk
phone.
In the SIP environment, the handsets support up to three SIP call
servers. Each handset may have five line appearances and two calls
per line. Each handset may have up to 10 sets of credentials to
identify itself by current user.
The latest wireless telephone and Handset Administration Tool
software versions are required to support the features described in
this document. See Chapter 3 Software License and Protocol
Management.
WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) is provided by using one of three
available mechanisms: SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP), Wi-Fi Standard
QoS, or Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) version 4. These QoS
modes can not be mixed within the same WLAN; therefore, all Wireless
Telephones on the network must have the same QoS setting.
SVP
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is a proprietary method of WLAN
QoS, developed by Polycom, to ensure enterprise-grade voice quality,
battery life and call capacity for SpectraLink Wireless Telephones.
