Known Limitations
Configuration Guide
• IMPORTANT NOTE: VIEW Certification testing verifies that the
user access radio of the BelAir AP 50/100/200 meets the VIEW
technical requirements for supporting SpectraLink 8000 Wireless
Telephones in a typical enterprise deployment. Testing is
conducted in a laboratory where neither outdoor AP coverage
area/range nor multiple mesh ‘backhaul hops’ are considered.
Because Wi-Fi mesh deployments vary significantly in terms of
wireless backhaul, actual performance can not be guaranteed in a
mesh environment.
• In a BelAir mesh, only Point-to-Point backhaul links with few
“hops” are appropriate for voice traffic. Point-to-Multipoint or
Multipoint-to-Multipoint backhaul links cannot be used.
• BelAir supports a variety of backhaul radio technologies. Only the
Wi-Fi backhaul radios were tested during VIEW Certification.
• WMM must be disabled.
