Quick Start Guide: Cisco 521 Wireless Express Access Point
•
Controller-based mode—AP521s associate with a WLC526 wireless
controller to provide wireless connectivity. Controller-based AP521s are
also known as lightweight access points because configuration and
management are performed through a single interface.
You configure the access points using the Cisco Configuration Assistant
(CCA). The CCA is GUI-based software that you install on a windows-based
PC and that allows you to configure all components of your Cisco Smart
Business Communications System.
The following illustration shows all the components of the Cisco Smart
Business Communications System.
The following illustration shows the AP521 and identifies its features.
