Extreme Networks: Summit WM 100, 1000 Wireless Controllers with Altitude 350-2 APs Introduction Polycom's Voice Interoperability for Enterprise Wireless (VIEW) Certification Program is designed to ensure interoperability and high performance between SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones and WLAN infrastructure products. The products listed below have been thoroughly tested in Polycom’s lab and have passed VIEW Certification.
Configuration Guide Japan TAC +81-3-5842-4020 or support-j@extremenetworks.com Known Limitations 4 • Beacons are sent from the AP inconsistently; therefore you may see decreased battery life on the handsets. • A hex-key is not supported with both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. You must use a passphrase for each. • Because the controller configures a virtual subnet, broadcast data cannot be sent to the handsets. PN: 1725-36069-001_C.
Extreme Networks: Summit WM 100, 1000 Wireless Controllers with Altitude 350-2 APs Network Topology The following topology was tested during VIEW Certification. It is important to note that these do not necessarily represent all "certified" configurations. The access points were powered through a mid-span POE adaptor.
