To the Network Manager vii

To the Network

Manager

As with any full-featured network equipment, deploying the

Alcatel Wireless LAN solution requires a degree of planning. The

process may involve multiple components as well as various

individuals in your organization. As the network manager, you

should become familiar with the components and deployment

summary outlined in this section.

The Alcatel Wireless LAN Solution

The Alcatel Wireless LAN solution consists of three major

components:

zAlcatel Wireless LAN Switch. This is an enterprise-class

switch into which multiple Access Points (APs) and Air Moni-

tors (AMs) are connected and controlled.

zAlcatel Wireless Access Point. This is a next-generation wire-

less transceiver which functions as an AP or AM. Although

third-party APs can be used with the Alcatel Wireless LAN

system, the Alcatel AP provides the best features and easiest

integration.

zAlcatel AOS-W Switch Software. This software intelligently

integrates the Wireless LAN switch and APs to provide load

balancing, rate limiting, self healing, authentication, mobility,

security, firewalls, encryption, and centralization for monitor-

ing and upgrades.

Deployment Summary

This section outlines the various tasks involved in deploying the Alcatel

Wireless LAN solution, and indicates the document where appropriate

instructions can be found.

NOTE—Documents named below are included on the Alcatel Documentation Library CD-ROM.

Physical installation of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch

Installation requires a trained technician, experienced with handling and

installing similar equipment. This phase involves the following tasks:

zTransport, unpack, and mount the switch in a suitable rack environment.

zIf using a modular switch chassis, install any extra modules you may have

ordered.

zAttach power and a console.

zBoot the system and perform the initial power-on test, examining the LEDs

and console messages to ensure proper operation.

The Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch Installation Guides provide the necessary

instructions.

Initial configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch

Configuration requires someone who understands the company's wired

network and has experience with the physical and logical management and

configuration of routers, switches, servers, and clients. This phase involves the

following tasks:

zUse the console to perform initial configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN

Switch.

zAttach the switch to the network.

The Alcatel AOS-W Quick Start Guide and the Alcatel AOS-W User Guide

provides instructions.

Planning the location of access points and air monitors

This phase requires someone familiar with your wireless network deployment

strategy and the features required of the Alcatel Wireless LAN solution. You

can manually determine the locations for APs, or use a Web browser to access

the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch’s built-in RF Plan tool and perform the

following tasks:

zDefine the physical site parameters.

To the Network Manager ix

zDetermine how many access points are needed and where they should be

located.

zSimulate network failures and recovery characteristics, and adjust place-

ment if necessary.

The Alcatel AOS-W User Guide provides instructions.

Physical installation of the Alcatel Wireless Access Points

This requires a trained technician. The following tasks are involved:

zPerform initial configuration of the AP.

zMount the AP in its appointed service location.

zAttach required network cables and power.

The Alcatel AP Installation Guides provide instructions.

Advanced configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch

Again, configuration requires someone who understands the company's

network and has experience managing routers, switches, servers, and clients.

The following tasks are involved:

zConfigure the planned network features via command line or Web inter-

face.

zTest and debug the deployment.

The Alcatel AOS-W Reference Guide provides in-depth information and

examples on the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch’s more advanced features.

Monitoring and maintenance

This requires someone experienced using various types of software tools to

gather and interpret network performance information. The following tasks

are involved:

zPerform remote monitor and management functions via command line or

Web interface.

zIdentify problems and initiate support when necessary.

zEnsure that hardware support issues are handled by a trained technician.

The Alcatel AOS-W Reference Guide provides instructions for collecting

system health and performance information. The Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch

Installation Guides and Alcatel AP Installation Guides provide instructions for

hardware issues.
