The Avaya IP Office platform is the ultimate in converged voice and data technology. IP Office brings a combination of voice and data applications formerly reserved for only the largest corporations. Cutting edge customer service with easy to use tools is now available to the smallest of businesses.
Wireless Overview
The Small Office Edition control unit can act as an 802.11b wireless access point. To do this requires the insertion of an Avaya supplied IP Office wireless card into one of the control unit's PCMCIA slots and entry of a Small Office Edition WiFi license into the configuration. The IP Office Wireless settings can then be configured.
In order to connect to the IP Office LAN, wireless devices must be configured to match the IP Office Wireless settings. Additionally the wireless device must match the control unit's LAN1 or LAN2 network settings unless using IP Office DHCP.

Network Name:Default = IP Office Wireless.Net
A unique name used to identify and distinguish the IP Office wireless LAN from other wireless LAN's. This is the wireless LAN's Service Set Identifier (SSID).
Wireless Mac Address
Displays a list of the MAC addresses of the devices currently connected to the wireless LAN.
Frequency/Channel:Default = 6
The 802.11b wireless frequency band is sub-divided into a number of channels. In locations where there are multiple wireless LAN's or multiple access points to the same wireless LAN, each access point should use a separate channel. Devices connecting to a wireless LAN will automatically connect to the channel providing the strongest signal.
The number of channels available is country specific. In the US channels 1 to 11 are available. In most of Europe, channels 1 to 13 are available. In Japan only channel 14 is available.
The channel frequencies overlap. For instance, channel 2 shares part of the same frequency band as channels 1 and 3. In areas with multiple access points or LAN, use widely spaced channels. For example uses channels 1, 6 and 11 on different access points.
Accept Any:Default = Off
If on, allows any wireless device to connect to the wireless LAN without having to have a matching wireless network name (SSID) set. When off, only devices configured with a matching wireless network name can connect to the wireless LAN.
