Connecting the Access Point to Wireless LAN Controllers
After you install the Wireless LAN Access Point, you can connect the access point to a
wireless LAN controller (WLC) directly or indirectly through an intermediate Layer 2 or
Layer 3 network.
To connect the access point directly to a controller or switch:
1.
Insert one end of the installed Category 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector to
the Ethernet port of the access point and the other end to Ethernet port of the
controller. For connection to an access point, use a straight-through signaling cable.
2.
Look at the access point LED for the port on the controller and verify that the link is
activated.
The link is activated if the LED is green and glowing steadily.
To configure the access point connection, use the RingMaster GUI or the Mobility System
Software CLI.
If you are installing the access point in a wireless LAN mesh or wireless bridge
configuration, you must configure the access point before deploying the access point in
the final location. For more information, see the
Mobility System Software Configuration
Guide
