1 SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server Overview The SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN device that works with APs to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. Voice packets to and from the SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones are intercepted by the SVP Server and encapsulated for prioritization as they are routed to and from the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. One or more SVP Servers are required in systems with five or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways. In systems with four or fewer SpectraLink
