The Alcatel AP Setup Process
Setting up an OmniAccess AP typically consists of four stages:
1
Wireless LAN Planning—The administrator determines how many
OmniAccess APs will be needed for their wireless network strategy and
where they will be deployed. This can be easily accomplished using
Alcatel's automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately).
2
AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each OmniAccess AP with initial
settings that allow it to locate the host OmniAccess Wireless LAN Switch.
Depending on the network topology and services, AP provisioning can be
performed manually for each AP or plug-and-play for batches of APs.
AP provisioning is discussed in
3
AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its
intended place of operation.
AP deployment is covered in
4
AP Configuration—The administrator defines the operational behavior for
each OmniAccess AP , such as RF characteristics and security features.
For AP configuration information, refer to the Alcatel AOS-W User Guide.
