Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Introducing the Nortel WLAN
2300 System
This guide explains how to configure and manage a Nortel WLAN 2300 System wireless LAN (WLAN) using the
WLAN 2300 System Software command line interface (CLI) commands that you enter on a WLAN—Security Switch
(WSS).
Read this guide if you are a network administrator or other person configuring and managing one or more switches and
Access Points (AP) in a network.
Nortel WLAN 2300 System
The Nortel WLAN 2300 System is an enterprise-class WLAN solution that seamlessly integrates with an existing wired
enterprise network. The Nortel system provides secure connectivity to both wireless and wired users in large environ-
ments such as office buildings, hospitals, and university campuses and in small environments such as branch offices.
The Nortel WLAN 2300 System fulfills the three fundamental requirements of an enterprise WLAN: It eliminates the
distinction between wired and wireless networks, allows users to work safely from anywhere (secure mobility), and
provides a comprehensive suite of intuitive tools for planning and managing the network before and after deployment,
greatly easing the operational burden on IT resources.
The Nortel WLAN 2300 System consists of the following components:
• WLAN Management Software tool suite—A full-featured graphical user interface (GUI) client application used
to plan, configure, and deploy a WLAN and its users. It also provides a centralized service application for WLAN
and user monitoring, reporting, and diagnostics
• One or more WLAN—Security Switch (WSS) —Distributed, intelligent machines for managing user
connectivity, connecting and powering Access Points (AP) access ports, and connecting the WLAN to the wired
network backbone
• Multiple Access Points (AP) —Wireless access points (AP) that transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals
to and from wireless users and connect them to a WSS
• WLAN 2300 System Software (WSS Software)—The operating system that runs all WSSs and AP access ports in
a WLAN, and is accessible through a command-line interface (CLI), the Web View interface, or the WLAN
Management Software GUI
