To the Network Manager vii
To the Network
Manager
As with any full-featured network equipment, deploying the
Alcatel Wireless LAN solution requires a degree of planning. The
process may involve multiple components as well as various
individuals in your organization. As the network manager, you
should become familiar with the components and deployment
summary outlined in this section.
The Alcatel Wireless LAN Solution
The Alcatel Wireless LAN solution consists of three major
components:
zAlcatel Wireless LAN Switch. This is an enterprise-class
switch into which multiple Access Points (APs) and Air Moni-
tors (AMs) are connected and controlled.
zAlcatel Wireless Access Point. This is a next-generation wire-
less transceiver which functions as an AP or AM. Although
third-party APs can be used with the Alcatel Wireless LAN
system, the Alcatel AP provides the best features and easiest
integration.
zAlcatel AOS-W Switch Software. This software intelligently
integrates the Wireless LAN switch and APs to provide load
balancing, rate limiting, self healing, authentication, mobility,
security, firewalls, encryption, and centralization for monitor-
ing and upgrades.

Deployment Summary
This section outlines the various tasks involved in deploying the Alcatel
Wireless LAN solution, and indicates the document where appropriate
instructions can be found.
NOTE—Documents named below are included on the Alcatel Documentation Library CD-ROM.
Physical installation of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch
Installation requires a trained technician, experienced with handling and
installing similar equipment. This phase involves the following tasks:
zTransport, unpack, and mount the switch in a suitable rack environment.
zIf using a modular switch chassis, install any extra modules you may have
ordered.
zAttach power and a console.
zBoot the system and perform the initial power-on test, examining the LEDs
and console messages to ensure proper operation.
The Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch Installation Guides provide the necessary
instructions.
Initial configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch
Configuration requires someone who understands the company's wired
network and has experience with the physical and logical management and
configuration of routers, switches, servers, and clients. This phase involves the
following tasks:
zUse the console to perform initial configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN
Switch.
zAttach the switch to the network.
The Alcatel AOS-W Quick Start Guide and the Alcatel AOS-W User Guide
provides instructions.
Planning the location of access points and air monitors
This phase requires someone familiar with your wireless network deployment
strategy and the features required of the Alcatel Wireless LAN solution. You
can manually determine the locations for APs, or use a Web browser to access
the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch’s built-in RF Plan tool and perform the
following tasks:
zDefine the physical site parameters.

To the Network Manager ix
zDetermine how many access points are needed and where they should be
located.
zSimulate network failures and recovery characteristics, and adjust place-
ment if necessary.
The Alcatel AOS-W User Guide provides instructions.
Physical installation of the Alcatel Wireless Access Points
This requires a trained technician. The following tasks are involved:
zPerform initial configuration of the AP.
zMount the AP in its appointed service location.
zAttach required network cables and power.
The Alcatel AP Installation Guides provide instructions.
Advanced configuration of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch
Again, configuration requires someone who understands the company's
network and has experience managing routers, switches, servers, and clients.
The following tasks are involved:
zConfigure the planned network features via command line or Web inter-
face.
zTest and debug the deployment.
The Alcatel AOS-W Reference Guide provides in-depth information and
examples on the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch’s more advanced features.
Monitoring and maintenance
This requires someone experienced using various types of software tools to
gather and interpret network performance information. The following tasks
are involved:
zPerform remote monitor and management functions via command line or
Web interface.
zIdentify problems and initiate support when necessary.
zEnsure that hardware support issues are handled by a trained technician.
The Alcatel AOS-W Reference Guide provides instructions for collecting
system health and performance information. The Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch
Installation Guides and Alcatel AP Installation Guides provide instructions for
hardware issues.
