120CHAPTER 5: PLANNING THE 3COM MOBILITY SYSTEM

If the MAPs are directly connected to the WX, ensure that UTP Cat 5 cabling distances between the MAP and the WX in the wiring closet do not exceed 100 meters (330 feet).

An indirectly attached MAP requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a source other than a WX switch, such as a power injector.

4Click Next. If you selected Direct or Distributed in the AP Connection Type list, the Redundant Connections page appears. Go to “Specifying Redundancy Computation for MAPs in the Coverage Area” on page 120. If you selected Distributed (Auto) in the AP Connection Type list, the Capacity Planning for Data page appears. Go to “Configuring Capacity Calculation for Data” on page 122.

Specifying Redundancy Computation for MAPs in the Coverage

Area

You can optionally configure 3WXM to compute redundant connections for the APs in the coverage area.

1To plan for redundant MAP connections to WX switches, select Compute Redundancy.

Only AP models that have two Ethernet ports can support redundant direct connections. However, models with one Ethernet port can support redundant distributed connections.
