Which access point is better for hospital environments?

Folks,
I have a customer in hospital, who requires to have wireless deployed everywhere. The fact is , customer is budget concious, so I designed in such a way to place it in corridors , so that wireless coverage could get inside the rooms, but the doors are fire-proof which blocks RF .
What are the best practices in deploying AP's in hospital, for eg: is it safe to install AP's next to Medical Imaging Room or other devices which may cause interference
Which model is suitable for this sort of installation?
Thanks,
SID

Hi SID,
Please consider in your budget for a Wireless LAN Site Survey. WLAN Site Survey will allow you to better understand WHERE to deploy your AP's and HOW MANY AP's to deploy. When deploying an AP, also bear in mind for AP failures. You can address this issues with either keeping "spare" stocks or putting additional AP's per floor so when an AP would fail, the WLC will calculate and increase the transmission power to cover the loss of an AP.
In regards to what models to buy, I'd recommend looking at the 1140 or the 1250. These AP's are geared up for Draft N (2.0 Ratified).
For AP's that are geared up for 802.11N (Draft 2.0):
Data Sheet Cisco Aironet 1140 Series Access Point

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps6973/ps8382/product_data_sheet0900aecd806b7c5c.html
If you are going to choose the 1250, note that the Antennaes are optional. Here's some information regarding them.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps7183/ps469/at_a_glance_c45-513837.pdf
The AP1250, when operating with 2 radio modules on Autonomous IOS, requires a minimum of 18.5 watts (ePoE). So you'll need either a Power Injector or PoE switch that will support enhanced PoE such as the 3560-E or 3750-E.

Which access point do i use????

ok then i know how to access the internet and live messenger when i am at home as i use my bt homehub as the access point.
but when i am away from home i dont know which access point to choose, these are the options i get -
02 MMS
02 MOBILE WEB
O2 PRE PAY MMS
O2 PRE PAY WAP
O2 WAP GPRS
O2 WAP GPRS STREAM
I am on o2 pay as you go. i think i managed to access it the other by accessing pre pay mms, but it used nearly £5-00 credit in just a few minutes.
I really need to be able to acces the internet away from home, to use live messenger and also the pre installed satnav, as it always gives the message no route found, must connect to the internet to plan route

Those with "MMS" are for sending and receiving multimedia messages (MMS = Multimedia Messaging Service).
Those with "WAP" are for "Wireless Application Protocol" and the connection go through the network operator's WAP gateways, which may limit what protocols are passed through and they might also do something to the content.
So, for regular Internet access, without knowing O2, the "O2 MOBILE WEB" is most likely to give to a straight-forward, pure Internet connection. No idea what kind of rates O2 will charge, though. Call them and ask, or check their web site.

Access Connections 5.61 - Which Access Point am I on?

I have 3 access points in my area (a mobility center), and it appears only one of them is working. When I go near that one I can get connected but when I logoff and walk near the other two, nothing. I see all 3 listed at 100%, but is there a way to specifically connect to one access point, as it appears to always choose the closest (whether it works or not). I am using Access Connections 5.61. I just noticed there is a field where I can put the preferred MAC address in, but that secion is greyed out. Can I at least determine which access point I am connected through when I do get connected? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can do it in the way, that you configure 3 different wifi connection for each AP and then you configre the on, that you want to use to be always the prefered using following method:
in this situation please configure AC in following way:
- open Ac->Tools->Location Switching-> in the screen make sure, that the location switching in enabled and the key point is, that you specify the correct Wifi AP in the "Preferred WLAN profile".
Let me know, if you have reached to this situation and cold configure it in the correct way.
Cheers

Which Access Point?!

I am assigned to implement a wireless network and i intend to use repeater mode in the building but, there is one problem, iam not sure which access point supports more than one MAC address to repeat to and the other to recieve (trying to input more than one MAC address in each AP for redundancy).
Does anyone know a Cisco or non Cisco AP that supports more than one MAC address for repeating mode?
Thanks.

Depending on the size of the building, that approach may not work well in practice.
Ignoring the potential bottleneck of the 100/1000 connection between the single AP and the WLC/Switch (depending if Autonomous or WLC), repeating the signal X amount of times also reduces the speed/throughput as mentioned by Leo above.
If you only have a handful of clients using this Wireless Network, it may be fine but its definitely not suitable for a larger deployment where you expect to have maybe 10-15 people per AP.

Which access point does it please??!

Hi aeronav01,
What pinkyzeny suggested is fine. Bridge mode configuration might not be the right one for the set up you want. WAP300N has a repeater mode. You just have to make sure that the access points configured as a repeater should be facing in different directions to avoid interference. Or you may just configure it as a plain access point and create different networks for each. You may also refer to this link for Bridge Mode .

Access Point Switchport configuration for OOB NAC

Hello.
Here we have to implement Out of Band with WLC and NAC, I have already checked this guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/products_configuration_example09186a0080a138cc.shtml
But I have a little doubt. On the document showed above does not specific which vlan should be configured on switch's access port facing access points. Should I configure this with trusted or untrusted VLAN? I know all traffic from wireless clients go to WLC through a CAPWAP tunnel, but I am not really sure on the Out of Band deployment which access vlan should be for access points.
Greettings.

Just to add again to another one of Steve's post:) You don't want to put the AP traffic through NAC, but only the traffic for the wireless clients which egress out of the WLC. So if your wireless clients are being placed in VLAN30 (just an example), you can have an untrusted layer 2 vlan VLAN29 which hit the NAC untrusted and if remediation id good, then placed in VLAN30. Makes sense?
Thanks,
Scott

3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
8gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1GB GDDR5

8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory
Apple care
£1407.60
Basically, the decision is down to, do I want a slightly better graphics card and bigger screen, or a smaller screen and better processer?
I just want to gauge opinions, i'll be using it as my day to day computer as well, some video editing, but nothing too strenuous. How big is the difference in graphic and processing powers.
Thanks for your help

With all due respect the question was "which iMac would be better for gaming?". Key word here is 'better', not 'perfect', not 'ideal'; just 'better'. Unqualified answers and/or sweeping statements do very little to contribute to a discussion, let alone answer the question under consideration.

You need to install 10.6.8 because 10.5.8 is no longer receiving security updates and increasingly applications are not compatible with it. However, I recommend increasing your RAM from 1 GB to at least 2 GB, 4 if your system will support.

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.

Locating failed wireless login attempts and which access point they're hitting

We have a cisco 5508 WLC with about 190 access points. They use Cisco Secure ACS to authenticate Microsoft Active Directory logins. We sometimes get non-normal accounts attempting to login to our wireless but are unable to figure out which access point they're hitting.
When I look at the failed attempts in our Cisco Secure ACS 5.5 Radius Authentications report, I don't see an IP address, just the MAC address of the failing device. Is their a way to configure either the WLC or the ACS box to report either the IP address or MAC address of the access point they're connecting to?

Is this something I need to set the ACS or WLC to send? When I go to Other attributes in the "Authentications - RADIUS - Today" report, this is all I'm currently seeing.
Other Attributes:
ACSVersion=acs-5.5.0.46-B.723
ConfigVersionId=3
DetailedInfo=Invalid username or password specified, Retry is allowed

AP541 Access Point Best config for multiple VAPS Advice

Hi
I have several AP541 (on different site locations) which I have currently configured for WPA enterprise using windows 2008 as the Radius server. This works fine for staff members who use the wireless when roaming around the offices.
I would also like to setup another VAP for guests to allow them to access our internet but nothing else on the network. I was wondering what approach would be the best one to adopt to achieve this. Would I be best to setup a WPA Personal VAP and allow guests to access the wireless this way. Or is there a better approach? If we did adopt this approach I presume this would mean that we have to log onto each AP in turn and then change the WPA key on each one everytime we decide to change the key? Or is there some clever software I could use to change them all in one go.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Colin

Hello Simon,
I would keep them all in Access Point mode if you are planning on having them all hardwired into your network. That is the best setup.
As for Wireless WDS repeater or Wireless Client/Repeater, you would use these features if you are trying to extend your wireless signal at a certain location in your building but you are not able to run a ethernet cable to that location. So all you would do is power up the WAP4410n and it will help increase the wireless signal in that location if set in repeater mode. The draw back to this is it will cut your througput by half.
Wireless WDS bridge, you would use this feature if you are wanting to extend your network to a location were you are not able to run a ethernet cable to. Once you set up the bridge you would place it in the location were you are wanting to extend your hardwire network. If you plug a PC into the ethernet port on the Bridged WAP then you should be able to pull a IP address from the main network. When set in this mode it will not broadcast a wireless signal.. so you will not be able to connect wirelessly to the device once it is in Wireless Bridge mode.
Wireless Monitor.. not sure about this feature.. never used it.
This keep in mind that these devices will usually only bridge or use repeater with themselves and not other devices.
If you are wanting to start adding VLANs in the future you will need to stick to Access point mode since that mode will allow you to set up more than one VLAN the WAP can look out for. If you use repeater or bridge mode feature you will only be able to use 1 vlan.
I hope that helps you out!
Thanks,
Clayton Sill

Access Point 1240 Support for BBSM5.3

Hello,
I have 3 ap 1240 for install with bbsm 5.3, but when I add the access-point to the bbsm , the bbsm does not recognise has a valid access-point.
Does any one know in what version of bbsm is supported ap1240.
Thanks

Hello there,
I have a customer who has a BBSM 5.3A which is running the latest patch (5332) and it cannot discover 1242 series AP's as valid network elements. They get the following:

They have assured me that the SNMP info is correct as they have checked it several times but the BBSM still doesn't recognise the 1242's. I know that the document link above specifies that 1200's are supported but don't Cisco class the old 1200's, 1230's and 1242's as different? Also, the BBSM didn't recognise some of their 2960-24 switches as valid network elements either but they selected the object type themselves from the list.
Thanks in advance.

Which Bluetooth headphones are better for iPhone 4?

Hi.
I did a search on the forums looking for recommendations on a good pair of wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my new iPhone 4, but didn't find any thread for actual users to review or recommend brands or so...
So, I wanted to know if do you use wireless headphones for music/video playback? Which brands/models are better in your opinion? (either with or without calling functionality).
Thanks in advance!

I've taken a look at my apple online store (Spain) and found this set:
Altec/Lansing BackBeat 906
They look like a nice option as well, very similar to the Motorola S9 HD, (and also a little cheaper)
Do you guys have these Altec headphones? Any reviews and/or comments?
Thanks!
