Chapter 1: Test Overview
The Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Handsets utilize standards-based SIP telephony signaling.
In order to deploy these handsets in a facility that uses a legacy non-SIP PBX/call server, a
device that converts the signal as it passes between the handset and the PBX is required. This
document describes the Mediant Gateway solution and provides guidelines for provisioning the
Mediant Gateway and PBX when used in conjunction with an Avaya Communication Manager.
The Mediant Gateway provides a bridge between the Spectralink 84xx wireless handsets and
the Avaya Communication Manager—a PBX that offers traditional telephony interfaces such as
T1 or E1. The Mediant Gateway transparently manages the protocol translation and
interworking between the two systems, enabling deployment of advanced wireless VOIP
technology without a complete overhaul of an existing system.
Due to variations in facility systems, many configuration options exist. This document covers the
basic setup that was tested in the Spectralink laboratories and demonstrates the workability of
this solution. For detailed configuration information as it applies to your facility please refer to
the administrative or user manuals of the respective products.
This document does not cover other functionality of the AudioCodes Mediant Gateway , how to
configure the Avaya Communication Manager, how to deploy a WLAN or how to configure the
Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Handsets for wireless connectivity. These subjects are covered
in other documents referenced below.
Results Overview
During the compliance testing, the Spectralink 8440/84580/8452 was able to register as a SIP
client endpoint with the Mediant Gateway which routed calls to the Avaya Communication
Manager only when PBX call routing was required. The Spectralink handsets were able to place
and receive calls routed through the Avaya Communication Manager and also place and
receive calls with other 84-Series endpoints through the Mediant Gateway without any PBX
involvement. The compliance tests focused on basic telephony features.
