anyone try an ap-8 yet?

Hi All We currently use Avaya's Access Points on our campus, and the latest product they've released is the AP-8. I've read the pdf's and heard the supplier's details, but just thought I'd ask this group if anyone has used it and if so, what are their impressions? Any info you can provide is grea

site survey/deployment plan software

Hi All I was just curious what people on this list have done for site surveys. Has it been basically a couple access points and some laptops? Or have you gone ahead and hired consultants/suppliers to come in and do your site survey? Has anyone used any particular software to do complete campus pl

802.11g question

Hi All, I was hoping someone could clear something up. When an 802.11g Access Point (for example, Avaya) has an 802.11b client talking to it, does that effectively revert the access point from "g" to a "b" because of the "b" client? Thanks Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Participation and sub

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Broadcast Limiting in Avaya Access Points (was dropping ip)

check to see if the drop is at the DHCP mid-point pf the lease when most clients perform a renew. Unless you have DHCP server filtering on your APs, it's trivial to put up a fast rogue DHCP server that might cause havoc. Can you easily reproduce the problem? ... Jonn Martell, wireless.ubc

Broadcast Limiting in Avaya Access Points (was dropping ip)

Hi All, I've been fighting a problem on campus where students laptops appear to be dropping their ip connection to the network sporadically. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the situation. I think I've narrowed it down to the broadcast limiting in the Access Points. I was using the defaul

s). Anyway, as suggested, I had him upgrade his card to the latest-greatest firmware and the problem went away. I'm not even going to try to explain why it would behave differently between different type of access points...butdon't really care now! ;+) ....hope this helps

dropping ip

Hi All, I've had some problems diagnosing a wireless problem, and thought I'd try this list. We offer wireless access in our libraries. We have 3 libraries on campus. I have a user who is complaining that her laptop (Dell with Linksys card) is dropping it's ip connection about every 5 minutes when

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] controlling WLAN clients infected with virus

We place all infected machines on a private, non-routable vlan. We use squid on a linux server placed in that vlan. The server acts as a gateway for the infected network, so all traffic is directed to it. Squid then takes any web traffic and directs it all to a webpage with specific instructions on

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] hallway installations

Hi, No I haven't tried leaky coax yet. From the info I could find on the net about it, it doesn't seem to be a good fit at the 2.4Ghz range. But I'd be interested in hearing of anyone who thinks otherewise!   Thanks   Matt   -Original Message-From: Mark Roberson [mailto:[EMAIL PR

hallway installations

Hi, I'm wondering what people are doing for installing wireless in buildings where it is mainly offices off of a long hallway. This is something that needs to be done where I am, but I want to get the best coverage possible to all offices. An omni directional antenna would seem to be the best appr

technical question about Avaya AP-3

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable a wireless interface on an Avaya AP-3 by any other means other than physically removing the card. I know it's not possible via the web interface. The command line interface seems to maybe offer this feature using "set wif 3 adminstatus ..." b

Wireless and Radius Authentication

Hey All,   I'm in the early stages of playing around (read: Newbie) with Radius (freeradius to be specific). I'm curious to know how people are using Radius in their wireless network design for authentication purposes.  Things like: - Are you using Radius authenticate and then provide access

Off Topic: Imaging XP Machines with dual network interfaces

Hi All,   Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I told the guys who do the lab images for our campus I'd ask this list on the off-chance someone else has seen this.   We have a laptop program where students can sign out laptops at the library for a couple hours. The laptops connect to the ne

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Question about Point-to-Point using Avaya's WDS

Actually, what I'd like to do is have the access point in the remote building (with no wired access) plug into a multiport hub which I can then attach wired users too. I have the point-to-point connection working (thanks for the tip on using the same channel!), but am still testing to get t

Question about Point-to-Point using Avaya's WDS

Hi All,   I've been trying to set up a Point-to-Point connection using Avaya's AP-3's Wireless distribution System (WDS).   There's not much in the documentation, but I did follow what they said to do. Basically I set up two AP-3's  and placed the mac address of the card in one of them as a

Re: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless and Novell? Anyone seen this?

Looks like we're running similar problems as you. One laptop will work great, then you reboot and won't work, absolutely no pattern. When I do an IP ping, it is steady. I haven't tried an ipx ping. Cheers Matt - Original Message - From: "Sherman, Harvey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL P

Re: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless and Novell? Anyone seen this?

I'm not a Novell technician (a comms guy myself), but from what I've been told a few of our servers are incapable of going pure IP because either they're not at NW6 or some of the apps they deliver are not ip-ready. But you're right, and I do see a lot of broadcast traffic due to IPX, which is why

Re: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless and Novell? Anyone seen this?

Hi, I probably should have provided a bit more info. The laptops are all running Windows98 and we are up to Netware6. The weird thing about this problem is, sometimes it works, the student is able to log-in, and other times it does not, and they get a "Tree or Server Not Found" error. I personally

Wireless and Novell? Anyone seen this?

Hi All,   We have a wireless program at our libraries, where students are able to sign out wireless laptops and use them at the library. I'm running into a problem where users are having problems logging into Novell (via IPX) using these wireless laptops. They are getting "Tree or Server Not

Question about fluctuating transmit rates

HI All,   I'm not sure if this list is still active, but thought I'd throw out a question here.   I have some Lucent AP-2's installed in a building and users are complaining things are either very slow, or they sometimes have problem logging on. I took a laptop up with a wireless client and
