Figure 5: Network with third-party APs
The WSS 2300 supports many models of third-party APs with a few restrictions—see WSS 2300
Release Notes. All models of WSS 2300 have support for third-party APs, although
implementation specifics may vary. In many cases, Nortel also supports VoWLAN over third-party
APs. The APs must be L2 or directly attached to the WSS 2300. Note that this may require
extending VLANs in the Centralized Campus model using WSS 2380s. The APs must be certified
by SpectraLink as SVP compliant, and configured according to SpectraLink guidelines. You must
also meet WTM 2245 engineering requirements. Details about supported third-party APs, valid
network configurations, and other restrictions are beyond the scope of this document.

2.2.2 Network design constraints
While the previous sections discussed basic design types, the intent of the following topics is to
drill down to the next level of detail and explore various design and interoperability issues starting
with the physical layer (L1) moving up to L2 and L3 constraints.

2.2.2.1
Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements
The AP 2330 draws an average of 6 Watts (W) of power when idle, increasing to 7 W average
under heavy load. The Ethernet Switch (ES) 460-24T-POE is capable of supplying up to a
maximum of 370 W of power (assuming ES 460-24T-POE is in AC+DC mode with Network
Energy Source [NES]) in some configurations. The ES 460-24T-POE with no secondary power
source is capable of supplying an aggregate of 200 W, which is enough to power a full
complement of 24 AP 2330s (assuming a draw of 7 W per AP).

Also, you must carefully consider redundant power options for the ES 460-24T-POE if PoE is
implemented. There are two external power supply options for the ES 460-24T-POE. The first is
the Ethernet Switch Power Supply Unit (PSU) 10. In the event of a primary AC power source loss,
