Wireless Network

• McMurrys current wireless network
• McMurry University is in the process of
  installing a campus wide wireless network to be
  used by students, faculty and staff.
• When completed all university buildings, resident
  halls and open areas on campus will be hot spots
  for a wireless network. 
• McMurry is presently 50 to 60 percent completed
  with the access point installation.

Specifications

• McMurrys current wireless plan
• McMurry is using 802.11g, which is a 54 megabyte
  through put not allowing
• for latency or multiplatform users.
• All hardware used with the wireless network are
  manufactured by Cisco
• Systems and are the latest state of the art
  technology. 
• All access points are either hard wired with
  electrical plug-in interface
• or hard wired with the electrical coming
  from  the use of power over
• Ethernet.
• When the system is completed McMurry will have
  fail safe security with the
• ability to track each access point and users as
  well as rogue users and
• access point attempting to breach our campus
  security.
• Greg and I have spotted access points in the
  education building, the first
• floor of the cooke building, and throughout the
  physical education

10
Hardware
These are the cisco system access points and
routers located in some parts of the campus
today. The routers are usually found in the
switch closets in dormitories and in other
closets on campus.
11
Growth

• The growing of students at mcmurry isnt likely.
• There may be between 1300 and 1500 students when
  it comes to allowing for growth.
• The campus will stay relatively small when
  planning a system upgrade

12
Upgrade Proposal

• Welcome to the Wireless age

13
Wireless network This is what mcm tried and we
plan to create using a combination of cisco and
netgear

Security
CISCO SECURE ACCESS CONTROL SERVER FOR WINDOWS

• Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) for
• Windows provides a centralized identity
  networking
• solution and simplified user management
  experience
• across all Cisco devices and security management
  
• applications. Cisco Secure ACS helps to ensure
• enforcement of assigned policies by allowing
  network
• administrators to control
• Who can log into the network
• The privileges each user has in the network
• Recorded security audit or account billing
• information
• Access and command controls that are enabled for
• each configurations administrator

802.11g, up to 108 Mbps in turbo mode An access
point serves multiple WLAN users until the
users move out of its range. A booster, also
referred to as an amplifier, works with an
access point to dramatically extend the range
of a WLAN (up to 150 indoors) and reduce the
amount of access points needed for a given area.
NETGEARs Bi-directional Booster provides
outstanding 500mW (27 dBm) RF output power to
extend the range of the NETGEAR ME103 802.11b
Access Point by up to 120 km (75 miles), and
amplifies more than 10dB in both directions.

• 500 mW Power Booster

Access Point increases the transmission signal
from an average 50 mW to 500 mW and amplifies
the signal by 10 dB (10 times) in receive mode.
Use this when you want to maintain a single
access point device to cover a larger area.
Consisting of a bi-directional amplifier, 500
mW (27 dBm) in transmit mode for 5 to 15 dBm
input, it provides 10 dB gain in receive mode
ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point
WE plan to replace the current access points and
place these in every building on campus, on every
floor

In a Nutshell

• OVERVIEW PROPOSAl
• - Using Ciscos current connection and our new
  security provided by cisco
• - We then run the ethernet connection into the
  netgear routers, which are placed in every floor
  of the dormitories, apartments, administration
  buildings, labs, classrooms and offices.
• - The netgear turbo power booster, boosts the
  signal through the antenna
• - The antenna will now cover apporoximately 75
  miles.
• We propose that the system require their user
  passwords that only mcmurry students and
  administrators can access through their user
  accounts. This way remote students can also
  access mcmurrys server for more convenience all
  over campus and all over abilene. Ciscos secure
  access control will prevent rouge access point
  users from penetrating our system.
• All old office accessories will be replaced with
  the proposed items
