WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 and WLAN Application Gateway
2246 installation requirements
Locate the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 and optional WLAN
Application Gateway 2246 in a space with:
• sufficient backboard mounting space and proximity to the LAN access
device (switched Ethernet switch), Call Server, and power source
• rack-mount unit (if using)
• easy access to the front panel, which is used for cabling
• for the WLAN Application Telephony Gateway 2246, a maximum
distance of 325 feet (100 meters) from the Ethernet switch
• for the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, a maximum distance of 325
feet (100 meters) from the Ethernet switch
IP address planning
The WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, the optional WLAN Application
Gateway 2246, and each of the wireless handsets and APs associated
with them, requires an IP address.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
The master WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 must have an IP address
statically configured.
If using DHCP for the rest of the network, the DHCP Server must have the static
IP address of the master WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 configured on it. If
using DNS, the DNS Server must have the static IP address of the master WLAN
IP Telephony Manager 2245 configured on it.
The wireless handsets can be configured to use DHCP or can be assigned
a static IP address. If there is no DHCP Server, the system administrator
must determine what IP addresses are to be used for static addressing.
As well, whether static IP addressing or DHCP is used, a pool of alias IP
addresses must be configured on the WLAN IP Telephony Manager for the
use of the wireless handsets. Ensure that the pool of alias IP addresses is
reserved exclusively for the use of the wireless handsets.
For information about configuring a static IP address on a WLAN IP
Telephony Manager 2245, see
"WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245
configuration" (page 99) . For information about configuring a static IP
address for a WLAN Application Gateway 2246, see "Configuring the WLAN
Application Gateway 2246 IP address" (page 152) . For information about
configuring a static IP address on the handsets, see WLAN Handsets
Fundamentals (NN43001-505). For information about assigning IP
addresses to the APs, see the vendor-specific documentation.
