Table 4 – SVP Server Functions
The process by which the handset is able to get onto the network and register with the SVP Server and
telephony platform is a handshake process which requires multiple steps. Figure 5 is a reference followed
diagram by the step by step description of the handset and SVP Server packet handshake.

Figure 5 – Multiple SVP Servers
Handset 1 registers with SVP Server 1
o Handset 1 always sends its packets to SVP 1
− SVP 1 forwards handset 1 packets to the call server or PBX
− The call server or PBX sends packets from the telephone this handset is in-call with
to SVP 1
− SVP 1 sends packets to the SVP managing the handset 1’s AP
o When handset 1 is using AP A (associated with) it receives packets from SVP 1
o When handset 1 is using AP B it receives packets from SVP 2
o When handset 1 is using AP C it receives packets from SVP 2
o When handset 1 is using AP D it receives packets from SVP 1
Handset 2 registers with SVP Server 1
o Handset 1 always sends its voice packets to SVP 1
− SVP 1 forwards handset 2 audio packets to the call server or PBX
− The call server or PBX sends packets from the telephone this handset is in call with
to SVP 1
− SVP 1 sends packets to the SVP managing handset 2’s AP
o When handset 2 is using AP A it receives packets from SVP 1
