This course is for technical professionals who:

• Are tasked with building a wireless network for data and/or voice
• Are seeking hands-on experience using wireless networks for data and/or voice
• Want more understanding of the equipment used for wireless networks for data and/or voice.

Following are the prerequisites for this course:

• Basic knowledge of wireless technology
• Basic knowledge of IP addressing
• Basic knowledge of switches and routers

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the requirements of a wireless data only vs. a wireless data and voice network.
• Use an autonomous wireless network for data and voice.
• Install and configure a Cisco 4402 WLC for a data and voice network.
• Install and configure a Cisco Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point.
• Configure security for a wireless laptop using Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP).
• Configure security for a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G using Extensible.
• Authenticated Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST).
• Configure QoS in a Cisco 4402 WLC for voice and data.
• Configure a wireless local area network (WLAN) for voice and data in the same network.
• Configure and integrate a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7921G.
• Configure wireless mobility between access points and the WLC for mobility.
• Configure and utilize a WCS for: Pushing configurations to WLCs, polling statistics, and creating reports.
• Describe the key characteristics of a site survey.

This course provides knowledge and hands-on experience for students in wireless technology for networks containing data and voice. Students will learn about the technology and configurations required for creating a wireless network for data and voice.

Students will create a wireless network using lightweight access points (Cisco Aironet, 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point), Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN controller (WLC), Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G, and wireless control systems (WCSs).

Students will configure the network for quality of service (QoS), mobility between access points, and security for both wireless phones and laptops. Students will review site survey characterisitcs and create a "heat map" of predicted areas of coverage. Students will use and convert autonomous wireless access points (Cisco Aironet 1230 AG Access Point) to lightweight access points.
