W310 WLAN Gateway for Seamless Communications
The W310 WLAN Gateway supports the Seamless Communications offer on an S8300, S8500,
or S8700-series Media Server. Seamless Communications offers converged cellular, Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN), Internet Protocol (IP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone
service. As a result, Seamless Communications enables users to use the Motorola CN620
Mobile Office Device (see Avaya 3711 IP DECT Telephone
on page 352) to experience
seamless wireless phone mobility between on-premises and off-premises use. The W310
WLAN Gateway, along with the Wireless Services Manager and W110 Lite Access Points
(LAPs), combine with a Communication Manager media server and a Global System for Mobile
Communication (GSM) cellular network to provide Seamless Communications service.

An S8500 or S8700-series Media Server can support a maximum of 64 W310 WLAN
Gateways. An S8300 Media Server can support up to 50 W310 WLAN Gateways. Each W310
WLAN Gateway can, in turn, support up to 16 W110 LAPs. One W310 WLAN Gateway can
support up to 1024 users. However, the actual number of Seamless Communications users that
a media server can support is limited to its SIP trunk capacities and licensing of SIP and CCS
users.
The W310 WLAN Gateway centralizes and performs many of the functions of the access points,
such as seamless mobility, security policy enforcements, enforcement of QOS, and the supply
of Power over Ethernet (PoE).
In addition, the W310 WLAN Gateway has the following characteristics:
● Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.75 inches (44 mm) x 19 inches (48.3 cm) x 17.7 inches (45 cm)
● Layer 2 switching
● Fits in a EIA-310-D standard 19-inch rack.
● 16 10/100 Ethernet ports with PoE (802.3af)
● 8 10/100 Ethernet ports without PoE (not currently available for use)
● Supports up to 16 non-LAP "heavy" access points, such as Avaya’s AP-4, AP-5, and AP-6
models once the device has been migrated to LAP functionality
Note:
Note: The W310 WLAN Gateway can support only 10 heavy access points at 15 Watts
per port.
● One 2-Gb Ethernet port to support redundancy or stacking (not currently available for use)
