Re: Taking Wireless LAN Support Specialist on Sunday [7:58691]
I've played with the equipment for the last year or two, and I've reviewed all the topics on the Cisco website. I'm feeling pretty good about the general technology, but they trip you up with details.

Jim, I used: 1) the official CWNA study guide available for $30US from. http://www.cwne.com It is an excellent resource and worth at least 3 times the price. Regarding radio frequency mathematics, refer to the chart on page 33 (Figure 2.13). You won't get a clearer explanation with examples in any other resource. 2) "802.11 Wireless Networks: The definitive Guide" by Matthew S. Gast. Get familiar with the frame formats. It all makes sense when you compare the fields. 3)And of course, the IEEE 802.11 specification documents. It took me two tries. After failing I went out and bought Gast's book. And I got more intimate with the IEEE 802.11, a, b, g specifications. I underestimated the level of difficulty and detail required. Read the questions very very carefully. Good luck.

Jim, Regarding the Cisco WLAN exams: Just get familiar with the Cisco Wireless equipment. It's a breeze after the CWNA preparation. /Veronica - Original Message - From: "Veronica Timm" To: "Jim Tickle" ; Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 1:55 PM Subject: Re: Taking Wireless LAN Support Specialist on Sunday [7:58691] > Jim, I used: > 1) the official CWNA study guide available for $30US from. > http://www.cwne.com > It is an excellent resource and worth at least 3 times the price. > Regarding radio frequency mathematics, refer to the chart on page 33 (Figure > 2.13). > You won't get a clearer explanation with examples in any other resource. > > 2) "802.11 Wireless Networks: The definitive Guide" by Matthew S.
