Installation and Configuration
This document is written assuming that you have already determined the 802.11 topology as described
in the Appliance Mode sections in the Product Guide. Because the Radio Resource Management (RRM)
feature automatically detects and configures the access points as they appear on the network, it is not
necessary to have any access points on the network to install and configure controllers.
The controller is a slim 9 x 5.5 x 1.5 in. (22.9 x 14.0 x 3.8 cm) chassis that can be rack, desktop, or shelf
mounted. As shown in the following figures, the controller is shipped with 19 in. (48.26 cm) EIA
rack-mount ears and four rubber mounting feet.
The following figure shows the controller, which has two front-panel 1000BASE-SX connectors.
The 1000BASE-SX Network Adapters provides 100/1000 Mbps wired connections to a network through
Note
850nM (SX) fiber-optic links using LC physical connectors.
