Supported Antennas; Wireless Lan Setup - Cisco DX650 Administration Manual

No support exists for third-party access points because no interoperability testing occurs with these access
points. However, if the access point supports the key features and follows the standards, the Cisco Desktop
Collaboration Experience is compliant.
Wi-Fi compliant APs that are manufactured by third-party vendors support the Cisco Desktop Collaboration
Experience, but might not support key features such as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), Unscheduled Auto Power
Save Delivery (U-APSD), Traffic Specification (TSPEC), QoS Basic Service Set (QBSS), Dynamic Transmit
Power Control (DTPC), or proxy ARP.

Supported Antennas

Some Cisco access points require or allow external antennas. See the following URL for the list of supported
antennas and information about how to mount them:

Note The Cisco Aironet Series 1130 and 1140 access points must be mounted on the ceiling because they
possess omnidirectional antennas.
See the "Supported Antennas" section in the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX600 Series Wireless
LAN Deployment Guide for a list of supported antennas.

Wireless LAN Setup

Ensure that the Wi-Fi coverage in the location where the wireless LAN is deployed is suitable for transmitting
video and voice packets.
If the Wi-Fi connectivity for voice and video is enabled for the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience, you
authenticate the Wi-Fi network by using the WLAN Sign-In application within your applications menu.
To enable the application, go to Applications > Administrator Settings > Network Setup > WLAN Setup
> WLAN Sign in Access and enable WLAN network.
To change the username or password, go to Applications > Administrator Settings.
For complete configuration information, see the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX600 Series
Wireless LAN Deployment Guide at this location:

The Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX600 Series Wireless LAN Deployment Guide includes the
following configuration information:
• Wireless network configuration
• Wireless network configuration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
• Wireless network configuration on the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience
Before Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience can connect to the WLAN, you must configure the network
profile for Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience with the appropriate WLAN settings. You can use the
Network Setup menu on Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience to access the WLAN Setup submenu and
set up the WLAN configuration. For instructions, see the
100.
