Configuring Avaya Wireless LAN Controller 8180 with
Avaya 8120 Access Points to support Avaya A175 Desktop
Video Devices using 802.1X Authentication – Issue 1.0
These Application Notes describe the steps to configure Avaya Wireless LAN Controller 8180
and Avaya 8120 Access Points to support Avaya A175 Desktop Video Devices in an 802.1X
enabled Avaya wireless network infrastructure. Avaya A175 Desktop Video Devices register
as SIP endpoints to Avaya Aura® Session Manager 6.2 via Avaya 8120 Access Points. 802.1X
authentication and WPA (WiFi Protected Access) are enabled on the wireless LAN to prevent
unauthorized access and provide encryption. The wireless configuration described in this
document also applies to other types of wireless endpoints such as Avaya Flare
Communicator or Avaya Flare
Application Notes.
These Application Notes provide information for the setup, configuration, and verification of
the call flows tested on this solution. Information in these Application Notes has been obtained
through interoperability testing conducted at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

  • Page 3: Reference Configuration

    To support wireless communication, several Avaya 8120 Access Points were deployed in the sample configuration and registered to an Avaya Wireless LAN Controller 8180. As shown in Figure 1, Avaya A175 Desktop Video Devices and other SIP endpoints utilize the Session Manager User Registration feature and are supported by Communication Manager. For the sample configuration, SIP users are not IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) users and Communication Manager is configured as an Evolution Server in the Avaya Aura architecture.
