Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified Deployment Guidelines Virtual Cell Meru Virtual Cell technology allows for zero-handoff as the wireless IP telephones roam through the wireless environment. This dramatically improves the quality and consistency of client roam times. The bi-directional quality of service (QoS) provides a near toll-quality call experience regardless of the handsets’ security context. The Virtual Cell configuration d

Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified Multiple floor vertical layout, non-interfering channel coverage Push-to-talk feature Push-to-talk (PTT) is a handset communication mechanism supported by the wireless IP telephone system. The mechanism uses multicast data delivery to communicate within the wireless neighborhood. With guaranteed coverage across all access points, push-to-talk often operates on a base rate as low as 1Mbps. Only a s

Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified Configuring the Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with CLI Version 3.0 includes support for automatic QoS provision of SVP flows and does not require any specific AP settings. Specific parameters are required in the ESSID configuration to support various features of the wireless IP telephone system. For example, in order for the Avaya Voice Priority Processor discovery and push-to-talk features to funct

Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified VLAN configuration It is often desirable to separate SVP packets from other data streams once the traffic enters the wired network. In the Meru solution, creating a VLAN entry in the controller and assigning it to the SVP ESSID achieves this. This is an optional configuration component. vlan SVP_VLAN tag 1001 ip address 10.4.0.250 255.255.0.0 ip default-gateway 10.4.0.1 ip d

Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified ESSID configuration The ESSID used by wireless IP telephones in production is of a similar configuration but would be configured for Virtual Cell and be assigned with the appropriate security profile. It is important to note that when enabling the multicast support (for the server discovery and PTT feature) you must ensure that there is only one ESSID per VLAN otherwise multicast traffic is not pas

Meru Networks WLAN Controllers with AP100, AP201, AP208 Configuration Guide Field Verified Wireless IP Telephones Wireless IP telephones use voice over IP (VoIP) technology on IEEE 802.11b-compatible wireless local area networks (WLANs). Access points utilize radio frequencies to transmit signals to and from the wireless IP telephones. Access Point Capacity and Positioning Each site is unique in its AP requirements. Please take the following points into account when determining how many
