Precautions

Protecting cables and connectors

Support cables in order to prevent any stress on the connectors. If you have a high cable density configuration, you need to install additional cable management equipment.
Do not exceed the bend radius recommended for the type of cable installed.
Fiber optic cables and connectors require special care.
Protect connectors with rubber safety plugs when cables are not inserted.
When installing or replacing cables, follow appropriate fiber-cleaning procedures.
Do not exceed the bend radius recommended for fiber optic cable. The acceptable bend radius for fiber optic cable is ten times its diameter, or between 2.5 and 5 cm (1 to 2 in.). Anything less than the recommendation can cause a loss of integrity of data transmission. Loss of integrity because of incorrect bend radius is difficult to diagnose.
WARNING
Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation. Before installing the product, read Translated caution
statements, warning conventions and warning messages (page 36).

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. These electrostatic voltages can result from friction, including, but not exclusive to, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building up of static charge in clothing. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
While networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events, voltage sometimes can be discharged to some connector pins but not others, or to some pins before others, which has the potential to damage the networking equipment.
To protect Nortel equipment against ESD damage, take the following preventive measures before connecting any data cables to the device:
Always use anti-static wrist straps. Make sure the strap is adjusted to provide good skin contact.
Ensure that work surfaces and equipment racks are properly grounded for protection against electrostatic discharge. The common point must be connected to the building ground wire. In a properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.
Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Avoid touching any connector pins.
Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.

Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations

With new cable installations, Nortel recommends to use ESD discharge cable to reduce the potential for damage from static that can build up in cables. An example of such a cable is illustrated below.
Figure 1: ESD Cable example
Step - Action
1 Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable
earth ground.
2 Briefly connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of
the ESD discharge cable, and then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to the switch.
3 Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. Once cables are
connected to networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.

Before you begin

Before installing and configuring the WSS, the following basic planning steps must be completed.

Planning a WLAN installation

The WLAN Management Software (WMS) can only be installed on a single computer. You must decide which computer will be used to manage the WSS, and ensure that computer is accessible during the installation and configuration process.
The WMS installation CD is distributed with a license certificate to specify the serial number and Nortel Support email address. An email request must be sent to Nortel Support to receive the WMS license activation key as follows:
WMS serial number — This serial number is listed on the license certificate included with the WMS CD.
computer name — The computer name where WMS will be installed.
company name — The name of your company.
A license activation key is required to use WMS, and must be available before you begin to configure the WSS.
When planning to install a wireless Access Point (AP), be sure to record the model and serial number printed on the back of the AP. This information is required when configuring WSS ports and Access Points (AP) using WMS. If the AP is already physically installed in a difficult to access location, the model and serial numbers are also printed on the box used to deliver the AP.
Some additional basic network information is also required before WMS configuration takes place, as described in
“Gathering required information” on page 14.
