Before You Begin
WLAN Planning
Determine how many Alcatel-Lucent APs are needed for your wireless network deployment and where
they will be installed. You can easily accomplish this planning using Alcatel's automated RF Plan site-
survey software (available separately). This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and should
have been completed during the master Alcatel-Lucent WLAN Switch installation and configuration. In
typical Alcatel-Lucent installations, the WLAN switches are configured and installed before the APs.
For WLAN planning assistance, refer to the RF Plan Installation and User Guide.
Pre-Installation Network Requirements
After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been
determined, the Alcatel-Lucent WLAN Switch(es) must be installed and initial setup performed before
the Alcatel-Lucent Access Points are deployed.
For initial setup of the WLAN Switch, refer to the Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W Quick Start Guide for the
software version installed on your controller.
