Ethernet or IP infrastructure, thereby protecting existing network investments while providing the best in class wireless services. A core component of the Cisco unified wireless solution, these controllers deliver wireless security, intrusion detection, radio management, quality of service (QoS), and mobility across an entire enterprise. - Page 4 Ethernet distribution system ports, each of which is capable of managing up to 48 access points. However, Cisco recommends no more than 25 access points per port due to bandwidth constraints. The 4402-25 and 4402-50 models allow a total of 25 or 50 access points to join the controller.

• A virtual gateway IP address (a fictitious, unassigned IP address, such as 1.1.1.1, used by all Cisco wireless LAN controller Layer 3 security and mobility managers). • A Cisco wireless LAN controller mobility group name, if required. • An 802.11 network name (SSID) for WLAN 1. This is the default SSID that the access points use when they join with the controller. -
Page 9: Installing The Chassis
• Install the SFP modules as described in the 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T SFP Module Quick Start Guide. • If you have purchased an extra power supply module or enhanced security modules, refer to the Cisco 4400 Series Power Supply Quick Start Guide for information about installing these devices. - Page 10 Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028 Connecting the Controller’s Console Port Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses a VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip).

Page 16: Logging Into The Controller
Although the name that you enter here is assigned to both the mobility group and the Note RF group, these groups are not identical. Both groups define clusters of controllers, but they have different purposes. All of the controllers in an RF group are usually also in the same mobility group and vice versa. - Page 17 You can set the automatic logout from 0 (never log out) to 160 minutes using the config serial timeout command. Cisco Aironet lightweight access points do not connect to the 4400 series controller if the Note date and time are not set properly. Set the current date and time on the controller before allowing the access points to connect to it.
