· Avaya 3600 Series Wireless IP Phones
This is a range of wireless IP phones. Using the 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g standard they can be used with a
wide range of wireless IP equipment. The 3600 Series phones supported with IP Office are listed below.

Avaya Voice Priority Processor (AVPP)
·
An AVPP provides QoS control for calls going to and from the wireless network. The AVPP applies a proprietary
QoS protocol called SpectraLink Voice Protocol (SVP) to the 3600 Series phone voice traffic. An AVPP is mandatory
for installations that include 3616, 3620 and/or 3626 telephones. An separate AVPP is required on each sub-net
being used for wireless phone access.
· Access Points
Supplied by Avaya or third party vendor access points provide the connection between the wired Ethernet LAN and
the wireless LAN. The access points used must be VIEW compliant (see
information/wi-fi/view-voice-interoperability-enterprise-wireless-program). The number and placement of access
points is critical and must be the result of a
· For installations with an AVPP, the wireless access points must be VIEW compliant and must support the SVP
QoS protocol.
· For installations without an AVPP, the wireless access points must be VIEW compliant and must support either
the WMM or CCXv4 (Cisco Compatible Extension) QoS protocols.
· If Wi-Fi Standard QoS is used, then each access point must be configured for such features as
WMM-Power Save; WMM-Admission Control; proper EDCA parameters; DSCP mapping for voice and
control traffic; call admission control and Proxy ARP. Consult the appropriate VIEW Configuration Guide
for settings.
· IP Office Control Unit
Use of 3600 Series phones via an AVPP is supported on all types of IP Office control unit. The IP Office is the
telephony switch and each 3600 Series phone is configured as a user and an extension on the IP Office.
· The IP Office control unit must provide voice compression (VCM) channels. The number of available channels
at any time may restrict the number of calls between 3600 Series phones and other non-IP phones and lines.
The method by which voice compression channels are provided depends on the type of IP Office control unit
and the IP Office software release.
· Ethernet Switch
Connects the multiple network devices, including the AVPP, IP Office and the access points. For small site the IP
Office control unit may act as the switch, however for larger sites a dedicated switch is recommended.
· Although a single Ethernet switch network is recommended, the wireless phones and the AVPP can operate in
larger, more complex networks, including networks with multiple Ethernet switches, routers, VLANs and/or
multiple subnets. However, in such networks, it is possible for the Quality of Service (QoS) features of the
AVPP to be compromised and voice quality may suffer. Any network that consists of more than a single
Ethernet switch should be thoroughly tested to ensure any quality issues are detected.
· The 3600 series wireless phones cannot "roam" from one subnet to another. If routers and multiple subnets
are in use, the wireless phones must only use access points attached to a single subnet, or be powered off
and back on to switch to a different subnet.
· The 3626 and 3645 phones can use IP multicast addresses. This requires multicasting to be enabled on the
subnet used for the wireless phones and AVPP servers. 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.
· Administrative Computer
A computer is required for setup and maintenance of the AVPP. Initial AVPP configuration requires a serial port
connection. This computer can be temporarily connected directly to the component or to the network, a dedicated
computer is not required. Some installations use a laptop to configure and maintain system components.
· TFTP Server
A TFTP server is required to distribute software to the wireless phones and the AVPP. The AVPP does not support
the IP Office system's internal TFTP server.
· DHCP Server (Optional)
The AVPP requires a static IP address. However, the 3600 Series phones can use either static addresses or they
can use a DHCP server to obtain their addresses.
