Hello,

I want to add Wireless LAN and Wireless IP phone to an existing LAN.
My choice of Cisco products are listed in the table below:

Item Description

1 Wireless Control System (WCS) Version 6.0
2 Cisco catalyst 6500 Wireless Services Module (WiSM).
3 Cisco Aironet 1230 lightweight Access Points
4 WCS Server; Dell or HP low end server
5 Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 OR 7921G

Can you please advice on missing device? We are considering maximum of 300 access points.

Hi Pa23,
What does your Cisco reseller account manager suggest?

Why not go with the CleanAir AP's?

Have you bought the products already or is this a new install?
WCS 6, WiSM and AP-1230 are all the previous generation wireless stuff and more or less end of life (not sure about the WiSM, but if its not it should be any day now).

If this is a new install I would suggest NCS 1.0, WiSM-II or WLC5508 and AP 1142N or 3500.

FYI the 1140 does not come with power adapter as they assume you will use POE. For a 300 AP install I assume you will use POE but worth mentioning.

Yes thats correct.. I think the same apply for the 3500, not 100% sure though.

@srg. This is a new installation and we have not purchased any of the devices.

Your parts list should come from the detailed survey and wifi planning analysis and design. Trying to just buy components and make a wireless system work correctly especially one that will have to handle voice is like putting the cart before the horse so to speak. If this is something you will be 100% doing in house then I suggest you educate yourself on the following design guide from Cisco and then come back to this topic.

There will be lots of challenges such as how many calls your going to handle. How the roaming be handled, how spread out will these AP's be. Meaning in the same physical location or multiple buildings. Then there is proper wifi analysis to determine the AP's exact location and handle any data that might also ride on this wireless network. What kinds of speeds you want to try and achieve. Client hardware, software and driver, etc,etc The list goes on


As others have stated the hardware you called out is not the latest and greatest. At a minimum I would go with the 5500x controllers or new WiSM-2 blades since the newer version of code coming out will slowly be phased out on the 4400's.

Not trying to say this cant be done by yourself but you should consider consulting with Cisco or a local Cisco partner who can help address the hurdles you will face.

-Cheers,
Derek
