Wireless T1 question

[B. Liggett]

Jared,
    I'm assuming your CSU/DSU is the standard Vina that NuVox uses for their
voice/data customers.  If this is the case, I would recommend putting the
WAP on the back side of the LAN port on that device.  The CSU/DSU will have
to stay there for the voice.
    How far away will you be in the next building?  You may have to get a
WAP that allows you to put up an external antenna so you have enough signal
strength.  I do know a fair share of how this is all setup.

Brad
