Nortel WLAN Management Software 2300 Series User Guide

Before installing WMS, make sure you have the appropriate administrative privileges on the system, a serial number, 
and a license key, if required. If you plan to install the HP OpenView plug-in for WLAN Management Software, which 
allows you to integrate WMS into an HP OpenView environment, make sure that HP OpenView is already installed.

Before installing WMS, make sure that you are logged in as a user who has permission to install software or logged in as 
an administrator. 

If you are installing on the Linux platforms, you must log on with root privileges. 

After you install WLAN Management Software, you can configure WLAN Management Software access privileges for 
the user accounts on the machine. Likewise, you can configure access privileges for the monitoring service, if installed. 
Access privileges for the WLAN Management Software client are completely independent of access privileges for the 
monitoring service and are configured separately. 

The serial number is included with your WMS software packaging, on the box and also on the CD case.

You can use the serial number and a valid host name to request license keys for the following types of licenses:

•

RF Planning—Enables the RF modelling features of planning. With an RF Planning license, you can create RF 
obstacles, compute and place equipment, assign radio channels, and optimize radio power settings. Without an RF 
Planning license, you still can import or create floor plans and create coverage areas. 

•

WLAN Management Software Services—Enables you to install WLAN Management Software Services (the 
WLAN Management Software server). 

When requesting a license key, you must provide your serial number and the hostname of the system on which WMS is 
to be installed. You must also indicate the feature(s) for which you want to have a license. Specify the host name of the 
host where the client (for RF Planning) or server (for WMS Services) will be installed. The host name you provide when 
you request the key must match the host name on the host where you install the product.

Depending on the license, you might also have restrictions on the number of APs you can manage using WMS. 

Nortel recommends that you request a license key through Nortel after installation. If that is not possible, contact the 
Nortel Enterprise Technical Support (NETS). (Refer to 

.)

The RF Planning software does not support outdoor installations. Results 

obtained do not compensate nor account for obstacles and characteristics 
typically associated with outdoor environments. Nortel does not warrant or support 
any outdoor deployments or installations of the WLAN 2300 system implemented 
with the use of this tool.
