If the MAPs are directly connected to the WX, ensure that UTP Cat 5
cabling distances between the MAP and the WX in the wiring closet do
not exceed 100 meters (330 feet).
An indirectly attached MAP requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a
source other than a WX switch, such as a power injector.
4 Click Next. If you selected Direct or Distributed in the AP Connection
Type list, the Redundant Connections page appears. Go to "Specifying
Redundancy Computation for MAPs in the Coverage Area" on page 122.
If you selected Distributed (Auto) in the AP Connection Type list, the
Capacity Planning for Data page appears. Go to "Configuring Capacity
Calculation for Data" on page 124.
Specifying Redundancy Computation for MAPs in the Coverage
Area
You can optionally configure 3WXM to compute redundant connections
for the APs in the coverage area.
1 To plan for redundant MAP connections to WX switches, select Compute
Redundancy.
Only AP models that have two Ethernet ports can support redundant
direct connections. However, models with one Ethernet port can support
redundant distributed connections.
