Advanced Services’ Cisco Unified Wireless Network for

Data and Voice v1

Duration

Five days.

 

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 Cisco lightweight access points, Cisco 4402

Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G, and Cisco

Wireless Control System (WCS). Students will configure the network for quality of service

(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 areas of coverage. Students will use and convert autonomous wireless access

points (Cisco Aironet 1240 AG Series Access Point) to lightweight access points. Next

generation 802.11n technology will be covered.
