Syslog Server planning

A Syslog Server listens for incoming syslog messages on UDP port 514 and
then processes the messages according to local administrative procedures.
Usually the syslog messages are logged for subsequent review by the
system operator. A number of devices used within a handset wireless
configuration are capable of sending messages to a Syslog Server.

The Syslog Server can be any RFC 3164-compliant log server. You can
configure the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, WLAN Application
Gateway 2246, WLAN APs 2220/2221/2230/2231, and the WLAN Handsets
2210/2211/2212/6120/6140 to generate syslog messages. For information
about configuring syslog messages, see the documentation for the Wireless
Security Switches and WLAN APs. For information about configuring syslog
messages on the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245, see

"Configure the

network" (page 103)

.

There are numerous third-party Syslog Servers available. You can use any
RFC 3164-compliant Syslog Server.

Access point planning

APs utilize radio frequencies to transmit signals to and from the wireless
handsets.

It is essential to know where to install the APs to provide effective coverage
for wireless handset use. It is necessary to verify that coverage is available
where it is needed. The first step is to define exactly where the coverage is
needed, which requires a site survey.

Recommendation

A site survey must be performed before installing a wireless LAN. A site survey
is also recommended when an existing network structure is modified or when
physical changes are made to a site.

Nortel recommends the use of the Nortel Site Survey Tool to perform the site
survey.
