Wireless Phone Installation
Introduction
This section contains information on the installation and configuration of the wireless phone on IP Office.
IP Office acts as a routing mechanism for all wireless phones on its system. Information is routed from
the phone to IP Office and to the AVPP.
The AVPP is the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism that is implemented in the wireless phone and
access point to enhance voice quality. AVPP gives preference to voice packets on the wireless medium,
increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted efficiently. These voice packets are then
re-routed through IP Office and back to the wireless phone.
The IP Office units currently supported with the wireless phones:
•
Avaya IP Office 403
•
Avaya IP Office 406 (V1 and V2)
•
Avaya IP Office 412
