SVP requires the use of the SVP Server, which is an Ethernet LAN
device that works with in conjunction with Wi-Fi APs to ensure QoS
over the WLAN. Voice packets to and from the Wireless Telephones
are tunneled through the SVP Server to ensure voice prioritization as
they are routed between the handset and SIP call server. See the
SpectraLink SVP Server: Administration Guide within IP Environments
document for detailed information about this device.
Wi-Fi Standard QoS
SpectraLink Wireless Telephones support WMM, WMM Power Save
and WMM Admission Control - all QoS standards from the Wi-Fi
Alliance based on IEEE 802.11e. The combination of these three
standards provides enterprise-class QoS in terms of voice quality,
battery life and call capacity. The WLAN must also support and
enable each of these QoS mechanisms in order to ensure they are
utilized. This option does not require the SVP Server.
CCXv4
The CCX program requires WLAN client devices operating on Cisco
APs to use a defined set of industry standards and Cisco-specific
features. The SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephone has been
certified by Cisco as CCXv4 compliant. When the CCXv4 operating
mode is selected on the handset, it automatically initiates the required
set of Cisco-specific and industry standard QoS mechanisms. This
option does not require the SVP Server.
The following security methods are supported by the handset.
WPA2 Enterprise
The handset supports WPA2 Enterprise, as defined by the Wi-Fi
Alliance. WPA2, which is based on the 802.11i standard, provides
government-grade security by implementing the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm. The Enterprise
version of WPA2 uses 802.1X authentication, which is a port-based
network access control mechanism using dynamic encryption keys to
protect data privacy. Two 802.1X authentication methods are
supported on the Wireless Telephone, EAP-FAST and
