 is installed and tested before moving on to the next. This will ensure that any problems are identified as early as possible - once the whole network is in place it may be much more difficult to identify a single faulty element. Implementing Wireless LANs Table 7-11: Aspects of WLAN Pilot Testing Pilot test feature Description Stress testing Stress testing of the pilot installation will involve loading the wireless LAN with the most demanding data transfer requirements, such as video or voice streaming or transfers of large files. Gradually increasing the number of concurrent users of high rate applications will test the achievable throughput limit. Maintain and Access point logs should be enabled during the pilot test analyse period, and analysed to show peak usage times and identify user logs the types of services that were used during the pilot. A comparison with the stated user requirements will test whether the expected usage patterns are realistic. Conduct post-pilot User surveys conducted after the pilot has been in operation user surveys for some time can highlight the type and frequency of any problems, and test whether user expectations are being met. Problem reports can be matched to access point logs to highlight any bottlenecks in the pilot installation that may point to necessary design changes before full-scale implementation. The key implementation steps are described in Table 7-12. If the installation involves multiple access points, follow these steps for each BSS in turn - verifying operation of each before moving on to the next. After installing the first access point, Steps 4-6 can be followed for each station to be connected to the access point. Steps 1-6 can then be followed for the second and any additional access points. WLAN Configuration The initial configuration will ensure that WLAN parameters are set-up to enable communication between the installed access points and stations, and ensure the coexistence of adjacent BSSs. After completing the configuration of access points and station
