2.  NetLink Overview 
There are two basic types of NetLink environments – those that utilize SpectraLink 
Radio Protocol (SRP) with the NetLink Telephony Gateway and those that use IP 
protocols from third-party vendors. This document will outline the setup of both 
types of systems. 
2.1  NetLink Telephony Gateway (SRP) environments 
The components that must be installed and configured in a SRP system are the 
NetLink Telephony Gateway and NetLink Wireless Telephones. The NetLink SVP 
Server is required for systems that use five or more NetLink Telephony Gateways. 
Software for the NetLink Wireless Telephones resides on the NetLink Telephony 
Gateway, which functions as a TFTP server for over-the-air downloading by the 
NetLink Wireless Telephones. 
Configuration is done through system menus for the NetLink Telephony Gateway 
and NetLink SVP Server. These are usually viewed via a computer that is connected 
to the device through a serial port (null-modem cable) or through a Telnet session on 
the LAN. The series of screens containing menus and options for configuring and 
maintaining the NetLink components is called the Administration Console. Full 
information is available in SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway: Administration Guide for 
SRP.
  
A NetLink SVP Server is required if a NetLink system has five or more NetLink 
Telephony Gateways. In even larger systems, additional NetLink SVP Servers are 
required. NetLink SVP Server menus and options are fully described in SpectraLink 
8000 SVP Server: Administration Guide for SRP.
  
NetLink Wireless Telephones are configured after the NetLink Telephony Gateway 
and NetLink SVP Server are installed and configured. The complete NetLink 
Wireless Telephone configuration instructions are in SpectraLink e340/h340/i640  
Wireless Telephone Configuration and Administration Guide (SRP)
2.2  Other IP Protocol environments 
The NetLink components that must be installed and configured in other IP protocol 
environments are the NetLink SVP Server and NetLink Wireless Telephones. 
NetLink SVP Server menus and options are fully described in SpectraLink SVP Server: 
Administration Guide for Mitel and Cisco. 
Each type of IP protocol requires a different configuration for the NetLink Wireless 
Telephones. IP protocols that are available are listed in the Referenced Documents in 
section 1.3. The complete NetLink Wireless Telephone configuration instructions 
for the available IP protocols are in SpectraLink Wireless Telephone: Configuration and 
Administration for [IP Protocol]. 
Additional protocols may be available. Contact 
SpectraLink Customer Service for assistance. 
A TFTP server must be designated on the WLAN for updating the NetLink SVP 
Server and the NetLink Wireless Telephones.
