collectively as “SpectraLink Wireless Telephones”, “phones” or “handsets”. The 8440, 8450 (with 1D bar
code reader), and 8452 (with 1D and 2D bar code reader) handsets will be referred to collectively as the
8400 handsets.
** Routed network topology is only recommended with single controller deployment. If multiple
controllers are present then the Mobility feature must be configured.
Known Limitations
• A-MPDU aggregation in 11n mode is not recommended on the radio supporting the handsets. A-
MSDU is compatible.
• Only “Fit” mode (not standalone) is supported with the handsets. The AP 3630/3640 models need
to be converted to “Fit” mode as they are in standalone mode by default. See the Enterasys
Wireless Convergence Software User Guide Version 8.11.xx for details.
• The Admission Control Thresholds algorithm employed by Enterasys Wireless Controllers will
prevent accepting additional calls once the total network traffic exceeds the percentage defined,
regardless of class of the traffic.
