This document contains information on the installation and configuration of the Avaya 3600 Series wireless phones with an IP Office system. Information is routed from these phones to IP Office via an Avaya Voice Priority Processor (AVPP). The AVPP uses Spectralink Voice Priority (SVP) as the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism. SVP gives preference to voice packets on the wireless medium, increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted efficiently.
