Voice VNS Basic Settings Page - Fields and Buttons

Field/Button	Description
Enabled	By default, the Enabled checkbox for the new VNS is enabled. A VNS must be enabled for it to be able to provide service for mobile user traffic.
Synchronize	By default, the Synchronize checkbox for the new VNS is disabled.
Name	Identifies the name of the VNS.
Category	Identifies the VNS category.
SSID	Identifies the SSID assigned to the VNS.
Type	Click the wireless phone you want to support for the new voice VNS you are creating.
Mode	Click the VNS Mode you want to assign: Routed is a VNS type where user traffic is tunneled to the controller. Bridge Traffic Locally at EWC is a VNS type that has associated with it a Topology with a mode of Bridge Traffic Locally at EWC. User traffic is tunneled to the controller and is directly bridged at the controller to a specific VLAN. With this VNS type, mobile users become a natural extension of a VLAN subnet. For each Bridge Traffic Locally at EWC VNS that is created, a VLAN needs to be specified. In addition, the network port on which the VLAN is assigned must be configured on the switch, and the corresponding controller interface must match the correct VLAN.
Routed Voice VNS
Gateway	Type the controller's own IP address of the topology associated with that VNS. This IP address is also the default gateway for the VNS. The controller advertises this address to the wireless devices when they sign on. For routed VNSs, it corresponds to the IP address that is communicated to mobile users (in the VNS) as the default gateway for the VNS subnet. (Mobile users target the controller's interface in their effort to route packets to an external host).
Mask	Type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0).
Gateway/SVP	If the voice VNS is to support Spectralink wireless phones, type the IP address of the SpectraLink Voice Protocol (SVP) gateway.
Vocera Server	If the voice VNS is to support Vocera wireless phones, type the IP address of the Vocera server.
PBX Server	If the voice VNS is to support either WL2 or Mobile Connect - Nokia wireless phones, type the PBX IP address.
Enable Authentication	If applicable, select this checkbox to enable authentication for the new voice VNS.
Enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)	By default, this option is selected.
Bridge Traffic Locally- Voice VNS
Interface	Click the physical interface that provides the access to the VLAN.
Interface IP	Type the IP address of the controller‘s interface on the VLAN.
Mask	Type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0).
VLAN ID	Type the VLAN tag to which the controller will be bridged for the VNS.
Gateway/SVP	If the voice VNS is to support Spectralink wireless phones, type the IP address of the SpectraLink Voice Protocol (SVP) gateway.
Vocera Server	If the voice VNS is to support Vocera wireless phones, type the IP address of the Vocera server.
PBX Server	If the voice VNS is to support either WL2 or Mobile Connect - Nokia wireless phones, type the PBX IP address.
Enable Authentication	If applicable, select this checkbox to enable authentication for the new voice VNS.
Enable DHCP	If applicable, select this checkbox to enable DHCP authentication for the new voice VNS.
