Non-Modification Statement

Use only the supplied internal antenna, or external antennas supplied by the manufacturer. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the WLAN 2332-A1 and related Series 2332 access points and violate FCC
regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment. Contact Avaya for a list of approved 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz external antennas.

This device must be operated with the CAT-5 Ethernet cable installed on each activated Ethernet Port of a Series 2332
access point to ensure compliance with the Class B emissions standards. Failure to comply with this installation
requirement may cause the device to operate in excess of the allowable emissions limits.

Deployment Statement

This product is certified for indoor deployment only. Do not install or use this product outdoors.

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5.0 GHz UNII bands

The 2332-A1 access point has been prohibited, via software, from operating in the 5250 to 5350 MHz and
5470 to 5725 MHz frequency bands for the US and Canada because it cannot meet the DFS requirements as outlined in
the rules of the FCC for Part 15, Subpart E that come into force on July 20, 2007.

Canadian IC Statement

IC: 332R-2332 (Applies to 2332-A1).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions in Canada:

1) this device may not cause interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this device is intended to

Avaya WLAN 2332 Series System

The Avaya WLAN 2300 System is an enterprise-class WLAN solution that seamlessly integrates with an
existing wired enterprise network. The Avaya system provides secure connectivity to both wireless and wired
users in large environments such as office buildings, hospitals, and university campuses.

The Avaya WLAN 2300 System fulfills the three fundamental requirements of an enterprise WLAN: It
eliminates the distinction between wired and wireless networks, allows users to work safely from anywhere
(secure mobility), and provides a comprehensive suite of intuitive tools for planning and managing the network
before and after deployment, greatly easing the operational burden on IT resources.

The Avaya WLAN 2300 System consists of the following components:

● WLAN Management Software tool suite—A full-featured graphical user interface (GUI) client

application used to plan, configure, and deploy a WLAN and manage the users. It also provides a
centralized service application for the WLAN to allow for user monitoring, reporting, and diagnostics

Avaya WLAN Series 2332 Access Point Installation Guide

AP overview

An Avaya Access Point (AP) provides IEEE 802.11 wireless access to the network. APs are designed for use
with an Avaya WLAN—Security Switch (WSS). APs require hardware installation only. All configuration for
an AP takes place on the WSS.

The WLAN Series 2332 Access Point communicates with an Avaya WLAN - Security Switch using a standard
CAT-5 (Category 5) or higher 10/100 Mbps twisted pair Ethernet cable to provide wireless local area
networking capabilities. The WLAN Series 2332 Access Point includes one 802.11a and one 802.11b/g radio
and two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g omnidirectional internal antennas. In addition, the access points can use
optional factory-supplied external omnidirectional and/or directional high-gain antennas, one per the 802.11b/
g and one per the 802.11a radios, as described in the external antenna section of this document.

When using the external antennas, connect them to the reverse-polarity R-SMA connectors located on the side
of the WLAN Access Point Series 2332 model.

Avaya WLAN Series 2332 Access Point Installation Guide

Cable ports

The Series 2332 access point has two RJ-45 ports. (Figure 2 on page 24.) Each port provides a 10/
100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to an WSS. The connection can be direct to an WSS or indirect through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.

The AP receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with straight-through
signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect an AP to an WSS or other device in the network. The
Series 2332 access point supports 802.3af, and also can receive PoE from Avaya switches and Avaya-approved
power injectors.

The two RJ-45 ports support dual-homed configurations for redundancy. An AP uses only one link for booting,
configuration, and data transfer. If the link becomes unavailable, the AP can reboot using the other link. The
ports are identical except for logical numbering (1 or 2). You can use either port to connect an AP to an WSS.
However, an AP always attempts to boot on AP port 1 first. Only if the boot attempt on port 1 fails does the AP
attempt to boot on port 2. If one port become s unavailable, the other port can provide full power to the AP.

The Series 2332 access point must be operated with a CAT-5 Ethernet cable installed on each activated
Ethernet Port to ensure compliance with the Class B emissions standards. Failure to comply with this
installation requirement may cause the device to operate in excess of the allowable emissions limits.

Kensington security slot

The WLAN Series 2332 access points have a slot to attach a Kensington security cable. The cable is not
included with the Series 2332 access point.

AP mounting options

You can mount an access point on any of the following types of surfaces:

● Suspended T-bar ceiling

● Junction box

● Solid surface wall or ceiling

Status LEDs

Warning! APs do not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not connect one

Series 2332 access point to any other access point through the second RJ-45
port.

Note. The solid surface mounting option requires Cat-5 cable that does not have strain

relief. The other mounting options can use Cat-5 cable with or without strain relief.

26 AP overview

NN47250-307 (Version 02.02)

The AP has LEDs that provide status information of the device. Figure 3 shows the locations of the LEDs.

Tab le 1 describes the LEDs.
