Deployment Scenarios
Wireless IP telephones can be deployed in a Meru Networks WLAN system where the access points are deployed within a subnet or across multiple layer 2 subnets.
The following figure shows the components in a typical deployment network with the Meru Networks WLAN and wireless IP telephone system.
When deploying the system you should determine which types of devices will require access and the mechanism of authentication/encryption that they support. This will drive the configuration of the system to support different user groups and security methods.
Recommendations
•For a typical healthcare deployment, we recommend configuring one ESSID for the wireless IP telephones on a voice VLAN. In order to support the SVP Call Admission Control feature, this should be a
•For hospital staff tablets and laptop PC’s, configure an additional ESSID utilizing strong authentication/encryption such as WPA, interfacing with a RADIUS server. This traffic should be separated onto a secure VLAN.
•If guest access is desired, configure an additional ESSID utilizing Captive Portal for web- based authentication. This traffic should be placed on a VLAN which terminates outside the hospital infrastructure firewall.
