Exam 6: Planning and Deploying a Wireless LAN
Describe the importance and benefits of training users while deploying a wireless network.
Training provides all users as well as network support specialists the knowledge to effectively operate and support the new WLAN system. The training component is vital to the use of a WLAN. Users need to know how to use the new hardware and software, and the support staff needs to know how to manage the network and diagnose problems. Training will increase the effectiveness of the new wireless network because users will have less of a learning curve. This, in turn, will minimize the drop in productivity that is normally associated with the installation of a new system. Also, well-trained users will have fewer questions and require less support as they start using the new system. Many organizations find that setting up a group training session for all the participants is most effective. The session should be not only friendly and relaxed but also mandatory. This training should preferably be done at the same time users receive their wireless-enabled laptops. It is important to set appropriate user expectations for support and how they should request it. Participants should be encouraged to call and report any problems in order to get help.
Only in areas where low bandwidth is acceptable or an ad hoc wireless network will be used should ____ networks be considered.
