System Components 
SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 and  
8020/8030 Wireless Telephones 
Employees can carry wireless telephones to make and receive calls as 
they move throughout the building.  The wireless telephones are to be 
used on-premises; they are not cellular or satellite phones. Just like 
wired telephones, they can receive calls directly, receive transferred 
calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and long 
distance calls (subject to the restrictions applied in your facility.)  
Access points 
Supplied by third party vendors, APs provide the connection between 
the wired Ethernet LAN and the wireless (802.11) LAN.  APs must be 
positioned in all areas where wireless telephones will be used.  The 
number and placement of APs will affect the coverage area and 
capacity of the wireless system.  Typically, the requirements for use of 
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones are similar to those of wireless 
data devices. Contact Polycom, or a certified Polycom distributor, for 
specific information about your facility’s needs.  
The SpectraLink system must connect to APs that utilize SpectraLink 
Voice Priority (SVP).  Contact Polycom, or a certified Polycom 
distributor, to verify that your AP and its software version are 
supported. 
Ethernet switch 
A component in the wired Ethernet LAN infrastructure.  Switches 
interconnect multiple network devices, including APs and other 
components.  Ethernet switches are required to provide the higher 
performance network connections needed to handle combined voice 
and data traffic.  
Router 
A router is an optional component in the wired Ethernet LAN 
infrastructure that separates a wired LAN into segments so that
