  • Page 29: Overview

    To be able to connect to the Business Communications Manager (BCM), the WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 must be supplied with the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Nortel Networks WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 and, optionally, a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Server. The WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 accept IP address configuration parameters either from manual configuration or from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server.
  • Page 30: Bcm

    Figure 1 Basic network configuration The basic WLAN IP Telephony network consists of the following components: • BCM (call server) • TFTP Server (optional) • DHCP Server (optional) • WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 • WLAN Handset 2210/2211 • Access Point (AP) To support the WLAN Handsets 2210/2211, the BCM system must run Release 3.6.1 (patch) or later software versions.
  • Page 31: Wlan Handset 2210/2211 Firmware Upgrade

    The TFTP Server must be capable of supporting multiple TFTP sessions. Nortel Networks has tested the following TFTP Servers. They are listed in order of preference. • Nortel Networks TFTP Server (Optical Network Management System [ONMS] application) •...

    Table 8 on page 77 APs on different subnets using WSS If you use Nortel Networks WSS 2250/2270 and Nortel Networks Access Ports 2230, both operating in Layer 3 mode, the WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 can perform roaming and handover across Access Ports 2230 on different subnets. The WSS 2270 operating in Layer 3 mode is on the same subnet as the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 group.
  • Page 38: Mobility Across Different Subnets When Using Dhcp

    Mobility across different subnets when using DHCP If a WSS is not in use, and the IP address of the wireless handset has been acquired through DHCP, the wireless handset must be powered down and powered up when entering a new subnet. This enables functionality of the wireless handset when entering the WLAN RF signal coverage area of a different WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 group on a different subnet.
  • Page 39: Network Planning

    Refer to “Appendix D: Provisioning” on page 113 Tips: A site survey must be performed before installing a wireless LAN. Nortel Networks also recommends a site survey when an existing network structure is modified or when physical changes are made to a site.
  • Page 40: Ip Addressing With Dhcp

    IP addressing with DHCP A pool of alias IP addresses must be configured on the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 for the use of the wireless handsets. Refer to addresses on the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245. The use of a 22-bit subnet mask provides IP addresses for approximately 500 wireless handsets (1024 nodes).
