1. Local AP support is the total number of non-mesh APs supported on the controller model.
2. For 5508, 2112, and 2125 controllers, the number of MAPs is equal to (local AP support - number of RAPs).
3. For 4404, 2106, and WiSM controllers, the number of MAPs is equal to ((local AP support - number of RAPs) x 2), not to exceed
Note The Wireless LAN Controller modules NM and NME now support mesh 1520 series access points from
Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software release 5.2 onwards.

This section provides implementation details and configuration examples.

Site Survey

Cisco recommends that you perform a radio site survey before installing the equipment. A site survey
reveals problems such as interference, Fresnel zone, or logistics problems. A proper site survey involves
temporarily setting up mesh links and taking measurements to determine whether your antenna
calculations are accurate. Be sure to determine the correct location and antenna before drilling holes,
routing cables, and mounting equipment.
