WLAN Management software network plan
If you are using WLAN Management Software to plan your Nortel WLAN 2300 System installation, Nortel recom-
mends that you create and verify a network plan for the entire Nortel network installation before installing WSSs or APs.
A network plan provides the following information:
•
Number of WSSs required at your site, and where to install them
•
Number of APs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area, and where to install them
•
Configuration settings for all the WSSs and APs in the WLAN, which can be automatically deployed to the devices
by WLAN Management Software .
