WLAN IP Telephony Installation and Configuration
The Syslog Server can be any RFC 3164-compliant log server. The WLAN
IP Telephony Manager 2245, Wireless Security Switches 2250/2270, WLAN
Application Gateway 2246, and WLAN Access Points 2220/2221/2230/2231
can be configured to generate syslog messages. Refer to the documentation
for the Wireless Security Switches and WLAN Access Points for information
on configuring syslog messages. For information on configuring syslog
messages on the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, see “Configuring the
network” on page 73.
There are numerous third-party Syslog Servers available. Any RFC 3164-
compliant Syslog Server can be used.
AP planning
Access Points (APs) utilize radio frequencies to transmit signals to and from
the wireless handsets.
It is essential to know where to install the APs to provide effective coverage
for wireless handset use. It is necessary to verify that coverage is available
where it is needed. The first step is to define exactly where the coverage is
needed, which requires a site survey.
A site survey is critical to designing and implementing a wireless LAN. The
site survey is used to determine the number of APs needed to support the
wireless handset users and to determine the best placement of the APs.
Different AP vendors provide different tools to do this.
Recommendation
A site survey must be performed before installing a wireless LAN. A site
survey is also recommended when an existing network structure is
modified or when physical changes are made to a site.
Nortel Networks recommends the use of the Nortel Networks Site
Survey Tool to perform the site survey.
