Cisco Aironet 2600 Getting Started Manual page 14

The 2600 series access point requires a Gigibit Ethernet link to prevent the Ethernet
Note
port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed
transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port.
b. As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green, red,
and amber sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes.
Note If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is
unable to find the Master Cisco wireless LAN controller. Check the connection between
the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller and be sure that they are on the
same subnet.
c. If the access point shuts down, check the power source.
d. After the access point finds the Cisco wireless LAN controller, it attempts to download the
new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco wireless
LAN controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks dark blue.
e. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots.
Configure the access point if required. Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS
Step 3
to customize the access-point-specific 802.11n network settings.
If the pre-installation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green indicating normal
Step 4
operation. Disconnect the access point and mount it at the location at which you intend to
deploy it on the wireless network.
If your access point does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the
Step 5
pre-installation configuration.
When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco
Note
wireless LAN controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on
which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to
the Cisco wireless LAN controller. Also be sure that the route back to the Cisco
wireless LAN controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP
communications. Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary
wireless LAN controller allows IP packet fragments. Finally, be sure that if address
translation is used, that the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller have
a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not
supported.)
