OVERVIEW UNIVERGE WL system is an enterprise-class wireless system that provides a most strong security and a flexible interpretability. The system provides an interface that totally controls Access Points (APs) located in remote offices, which drastically reduces a burden for wireless network design and operation.
About WL Controller Chapter 1 About WL Controller UNIVERGE WL Controller (hereinafter “WL Controller”) is equipment that control UNIVERGE WL Access Points (hereinafter “WL AP” or “WL Access Point”), and creates an IEEE802.11-standard wireless network. WL Controller can manage (includes the AP data assignment) Access Points in a LAN.
About WL Controller Chapter 1 SCA-WL10 SCA-WL10 (This has the same specifications as those of the UNIVERGE WL5050) is used for small-class or middle-class voice wireless network. SCA-WL10 is accommodated in Multi-Purpose Chassis (MPC) and SV7000 MPS, and it can control up to four APs in the network. Two 10/100 Base-Tx ports are provided on the front panel of SCA-WL10 (One port is unavailable).
802.11a and two 802.11b/g) high-gain antennas. WL1700-MS controls up to four APs (including the internal AP functionality in itself) in the network. One 10/100 Base-Tx port is provided on the front panel of WL1700-MS. The following is a figure of the WL1700-MS. OVERVIEW...
WL Access Point Chapter 1 WL Access Point When associated with a UNIVERGE WL Controllers, the UNIVERGE WL AP provides advanced 802.11a and/or 802.11b/g Access Point functions In the UNIVERGE WL System, most of the processing responsibility is removed from traditional SOHO APs and resides in the UNIVERGE WL Controllers. WL Access Points can receive electrical power from Power over Ethernet (PoE) equipment.
WL5100 is capable of connecting 12 APs. SCA-WL10 is capable of connecting up to four APs. WL1700-MS is capable of connecting up to four APs (including an internal AP functionality in itself). When operating with Layer 2 (data link) mode, a WL Controller and the associated WL Access Points must be located in the same segment (subnet).
Network Topology with WL Controllers Chapter 1 Data-Processing System As data-processing system between WL Controller and WL Access Points, UNIVERGE WL System can be configured to perform by the following: Centralized Path When Centralized Path is used, all the packets from terminals to Access Points are transferred to WL Controller, and then the WL Controller transmits the packets to those appropriate destinations.
Network Topology with WL Controllers Chapter 1 Mobility Domain UNIVERGE WL System can create mobility domains, which contains multiple WL Controllers. Mobility Domain is a special domain for Mobility terminals. When the mobility user roams and connects to another Access Point that the different Controller but assigned to the Mobility Group manages, the user do not need to acquire a new IP address from the Controller again;...
Page 43
Controller in the Mobility Domain. In the case of WL5100 and SCA-WL10, Mobility Domain constitutes a maximum of 32 WL Controllers. In the case of WL1700-MS, Mobility Domain constitutes a maximum of six WL Controllers For example: Using WL5100 or SCA-WL10 as a seed, up to 32 WL Controllers (31 WL Controllers...
Chapter 1 function as members) can be accommodated per Mobility Domain. Using WL1700-MS as a seed, up to six WL Controllers (five WL Controllers function as members) can be accommodated per Mobility Domain. However, when using WL1700-MS, Mobility Domain configured with only WL1700-MSs is available.
About WLMS Chapter 1 Note. To perform this function, the Wireless IP terminals must be compatible with voice extension function. About WLMS UNIVERGE WL Management System UNIVERGE WL Management System (WLMS) is network management software that assigns data to WL Controllers and WL Access Points in the network and supervises them.

Page 72
Check Mounting Locations Chapter 2 Make sure that length of cables (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T) between WL Controller and equipment is less than 100 meters/328`1ft. When mounting WL Controller into a rack, you need to check the following: When mounting a single WL Controller into a rack, put it in the lowest level.
Check Mounting Locations Chapter 2 Note. Connect the Controller’s electric cable to the AC inlet (AC100–240V) with ground connection. Location for WL Access Point Since suitable locations for APs and the required number of APs vary depending on the environment of the site, to provide the overall coverage, you need to perform site survey to figure out how many Access Points are necessary and where they are supposed to be located.
