Management software
If you are using the WLAN Management Software (WMS) to plan your
Avaya Mobility System installation, you can create and verify a network
plan for the entire Avaya network installation and generate an AP work
order, before installing any access points.
Network plans and work orders
A network plan and the AP work orders provide the following information
about AP installation and configuration:
•
number of APs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage
area
•
detailed installation locationfor each AP
•
settings for all APs in the WLAN
For information about installing WLAN Management Software , creating
and verifying a network plan, and generating an AP work order, see the
Avaya WLAN 8100 - Planning and Engineering
document.
Wireless Controller 8180 recommendation
Avaya recommends that you install and configure the Wireless Controller
8180 before installing an AP. If the switch is already installed and
configured for the access points, you can immediately verify the cable
connection when you plug the cable into the RJ-45 port on the AP.
CAUTION
AP 8120 access points are designed to receive power only
from an 802.3af-compliant source or an Avaya-approved
power injector. Connecting an AP to a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) device that is not approved by Avaya can damage the
equipment.
For more information about connecting an AP to a WC 8180 port, see
Connecting to a Wireless Controller 8180.
Wall installation recommendations
If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient
the top of the access point (the side with the LEDs) toward the intended
coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the access
point but not through the bottom (where the bracket is located).
Radio safety advisories
When you enable the AP radios as part of a configuration, the radios can
receive and transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the
AP to the WC 8180, either directly or through the network.
