Mike, Your reply leads me to believe you may have had some problems with 802.11g on an AP-2000 or AP-3. We had some difficulties with wildly fluctuating signal strengths on our AP-3/802.11ag test LAN and were wondering if anyone else experienced similar difficulties? Our problem seemed to pass before we could adequately dignose it. Due to a concurrent temperature problem in our equipment room, we couldn't be certain if the problem was AP/radio related or POE power related.
Which brings me to a second question: does anyone know a way to test 802.3af power quality? It is pretty easy to test the voltage using a break-out cable and multimeter, but much harder to determine the current delivery capacity. We can't be sure if a small measured current is due to a defective power supply or just low demand from the AP. Is there a cable tester, network analyzer, or a single-purpose unit that will put an 802.3af power supply through its paces?

It's the same product as the Proxim AP-4000. If you're using the Proxim/Avaya equipment, then the AP-4000 is a good upgrade. The .11G performance in my testing has been more solid than the performance of the .11G upgrade kit for the AP-2000 (Avaya AP-3). Other than that, the management interface is identical to the AP-2000/AP-3. Having antenna connectors for the .11A side is a nice new feature of the 4000s/8s. -- --Mike ----------------------------------- Michael Griego Wireless LAN Project Manager The University of Texas at Dallas On Mon, 2004-07-26 at 08:23, Matt Ashfield (UNB) wrote: > Hi All > > We currently use Avaya's Access Points on our campus, and the latest product > they've released is the AP-8.
