Connecting Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points
After you have installed and configured the Controller, use CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6, or CAT-7 ethernet
cables to connect the access points to the network (Distribution System) as shown in the following
figure.
Note
As soon as the controller is activated, it starts to scan for access points. When it detects an access point,
it records its MAC address in its database. The Radio Resource Management (RRM) function then
automatically configures the access point to start transmitting and start allowing clients to connect
through the Cisco WLAN Solution.
