WLAN on a BCM

[hawks]

Ok adding some wireless phones and just would like some verification on what I may need. These will be going on a BCM 400 w/4.0 software.
3- IP Seats
3- WLAN Handset 22xx
1- Telephony Manager 2245
1- Wireless Access Point 7215 (not sure)

Am I missing anything.

No, but I've only done 2.

As well you'll need a WLAN Security Switch to control your ap's. For 1 or 2 access points you can go with a 2350.

Won't need a WLAN security switch unless going with 2300 series APs. I believe the 7200 series APs are autonomous.

I didn't know those were standalone, all the installations i did were with 2350,2360,2380 security switches and 2330/2332's AP's. I guess its cheaper with 7200 series if you dont need too many AP's.

(unless it has to be IP) would T7406's also work? They're a digital set (so no IP licence is required) and only requires the corresponding Base Station.

7406's work good in a smaller environment. The main issues are range and the number of phones you can have on a base station. I believe its 2 base stations per system, and 3 phones per base station. If you roam too far from the base, you get disconnected. The WLAN phones will hand off from one AP to another.

The 7406e phones are supposed to have better range, but I haven't installed one of those. The original 7406 phones were good for maybe 100 feet or so from the base unit, and that was in optimal conditions. The 7406e phones are supposed to be considerably better.
