SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway Administration Guide 
 
IP multicast addresses are used by the SpectraLink i640 and 8030 
Wireless Telephone. This requires that multicasting be enabled on 
the subnet used for the SpectraLink Wireless Telephones, SVP 
Server, and Telephony Gateways. 
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. 
 
Location of SpectraLink 8000  
Telephony Gateway and SVP Server 
The specifications covered here allow for great flexibility in physical 
placement of the components within stated guidelines. 
Each SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and SpectraLink 8000 SVP 
Server measures approximately 4 x 12.5 x 7 inches, and weighs about 
five pounds. The units are designed to be wall mounted—vertically or 
horizontally—over 3/4” plywood or mounted in a standard 19-inch 
rack mount cabinet with a Rack Mount Kit. 
Locate the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway and SpectraLink 
8000 SVP Server in a space with: 
• 
Sufficient backboard mounting space and proximity to the LAN 
access device (switched Ethernet switch), telephone switch, and 
power source.  
• 
Easy access to the front panel, which is used for cabling.  
• 
For the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway, a maximum 
distance of 250 feet from the host telephone switch for a digital 
interface, and 325 feet (100 meters) from the Ethernet switch. 
• 
For the SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server, a maximum distance of 325 
feet (100 meters) from the Ethernet switch.
