802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless standards. • A Single-radio AP is an Access Point that supports one IEEE radio standard. The AP-4, AP-5, and AP-6 are Single-radio APs. • An 802.11a AP is an Access Point that supports the IEEE 802.11a standard.
Page 23: Introduction To Wireless Networking
Wireless devices can • connect to a single Access Point, or • move between multiple Access Points located within the same vicinity. As wireless clients move from one coverage cell to another, the devices maintain network connectivity. Avaya Wireless AP-4/5/6 User’s Guide...
Page 24: Site Survey
Introduction to Wireless Networking Site Survey To determine the best location for an Access Point, Avaya recommends conducting a Site Survey before placing the device in its final location. For information about how to conduct a Site Survey, contact your local reseller.
Page 25: Guidelines For Roaming
An AP can only communicate with client devices that support its wireless standard. For example, an 802.11a client cannot communicate with an 802.11b AP and an 802.11b client cannot communicate with an 802.11a AP. However, both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with an 802.11b/g AP. Avaya Wireless AP-4/5/6 User’s Guide...

Default TTL (Time to Live): Time to Live (TTL) is a field in an IP packet that specifies how long in seconds the packet can remain active on the network. The Access Point uses the default TTL for packets it generates for which the transport layer protocol does not specify a TTL value. This parameter supports a range from 0 to 65535.

VLAN membership. NOTE: For Single-radio APs: The AP-6 supports up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs. The AP-4 and AP-5 support only one VLAN/SSID per radio. VLAN Overview Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN members or resources appear (to clients) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attached on the logical LAN or WAN segment.
Page 225 VLAN/SSID VLANs now extend as far as the reach of the access point signal. Clients can be segmented into wireless sub-networks via SSID and VLAN assignment. A Client can access the network by connecting to an AP configured to support its assigned SSID/VLAN.
Page 226 VLAN tagged data is collected and distributed through an AP's wireless interface(s) based on Network Name (SSID). An Ethernet port on the access point connects a wireless cell or network to a wired backbone. The access points communicate across a VLAN-capable switch that analyzes VLAN-tagged packet headers and directs traffic to the appropriate ports.
