Description

This course provides knowledge and hands-on experience for students in Wireless technology for networks containing data and voice. Students will learn about the technology and configurations required for creating a wireless network for data and voice. Students will create a wireless network using lightweight Access Points (1030AP, and 1230AP), 4402 Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC), 7921 phones, and Wireless Control Systems (WCS). Students will configure the network for QoS, mobility between access points and security for both wireless phones and laptops. Students will review site survey characteristics and create a “heat map” of predicted area of coverage. Students will use and convert autonomous wireless access points (1230AP) to lightweight access points.
