2. 3600 Series Wireless IP Telephone Overview
The 3600 Series Wireless Telephones are a mobile handset for workplace IP telephone systems. The
Wireless Telephone operates over an 802.11b wireless Ethernet LAN providing users a wireless voice
over IP (VoIP) extension. By seamlessly integrating with an Avaya Call Server (such as an Avaya
™
MultiVantage ™ on a DEFINITY ® Server SI and an Avaya ™ S8100 Media Server with CMC1 Media
Gateway), Wireless Telephone users are provided with high-quality mobile voice communications
throughout the workplace. The Wireless Telephone gives users the freedom to roam throughout the
workplace while providing all the features and functionality of an IP desk phone.
The 3600 Series Wireless Telephones provides a wireless extension to the Avaya Call Server. The
Wireless Telephones reside on the wireless LAN with other wireless devices using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The handset radio transmits and receives packets at up to
11Mb/s.
A Wireless Telephone must be administered on the Avaya Call Server for the specific features and
lines to be accessed by the Wireless Telephone. After the handset is registered, it receives its
configuration information from the Avaya Call Server.
2.1 QoS and Security
The AVAYA AVPP is an Ethernet LAN device that works with the AP to provide QoS on the wireless
LAN. Voice packets to and from the AVAYA Wireless Telephones are intercepted by the AVAYA
AVPP and encapsulated for prioritization as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server or
gateway. See the AVAYA AVPP:Installation, Setup and Maintenance document for detailed
information about this device.
The AVAYA 3600 Series Wireless Telephones supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as defined
by the 802.11 specification. Avaya offers the product with both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.
AVAYA Wireless Telephones support basic WMM™ as part of the 802.11e protocol. If the AP
supports WMM, the Wireless Telephone automatically discovers and uses it. WMM does not replace
the AVAYA AVPP as described in the following paragraph. WMM settings must be configured on the
AVPP.
AVAYA Wireless Telephones also support the 802.11i protocol including Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA™ and WPA2™)—PSK. As vendors introduce access points that are eligible to become Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED™ for WPA-PSK and/or WPA2-PSK, Avaya will determine their compatibility with the
AVAYA Wireless Telephones and include them on the AVAYA Wireless Telephone Access Point
Compatibility Table.
 The latest software versions are required to support the features described
in this document.
