(WEL2304, EMEAWiNG5)
Delivery method, duration, class size:
Instructor led course. Duration: 4(EMEAWING5B) or 3 (WEL2304) days. Maximum of 12 students.
Target audience:
Engineers and Network Administrators expected to configure and administer Motorola WiNG5 WLAN equipment.
This is a Professional Level course students are expected to know generic RF/Networking/Security theory. Please
check the list of pre-requisite knowledge and self-assessment.
Course description:
This course provides extensive hands-on experience (40 labs) with the features of the latest Motorola WiNG5
platform. Students start with bare metal and finish with WLAN controller cluster under hierarchical management,
SMART RF, multiple WLANs and security measures deployed. Includes basic and advanced troubleshooting
commands and techniques. Concepts of the new Distributed WLANs architecture and the new deployment options
are explained. The course is constantly updated with the latest WiNG5 release data.
There are two versions of the course, for students with different levels of experience. The content is almost the
same, the main difference being the pace. Please read the self-assessment section in this document.
EMEAWING5B is a 4-day version for students that do not have experience with WiNG3.x/4.x systems, or are just
starting to work with WLANs. It spends more time on basic topics like relative product positioning, efficient CLI
navigation and basic WiNG5 terms in order to provide better understanding of the subsequent concepts. The added
extra day allows for a slower pace with larger number of questions, theory explanations and experiments.
WEL2304 is a 3-day express version for experienced network engineers. It is an intense fast-paced hands-on that
spends less time on the basics in favour of the faster lab progress. The express version is only recommended to
students that have previous experience with WLANs and networking equipment. Completing 100% prerequisites is a
MUST. Otherwise please consider the standard 4-day version.
