Installation and Configuration These controllers offer the highest level of performance and scalability for large-scale enterprise WLAN deployments. In addition, these controllers deliver WLAN services over an existing ethernet or IP infrastructure, protecting existing network investments while providing best-in-class wireless services.
Installation and Configuration 4402 Series Controller There are three types of 4402 series controllers: • AIR-WLC4402-12-K9—This 4402-12 controller uses two GigE connections to bypass single network failures or a port failure. One of the GigE ports can be configured as the primary port and the other can be configured as the secondary port. If there is a network failure or if the primary port goes down, then the interfaces on the primary port are shifted to the secondary port.
Installation and Configuration Note All controller models come from the factory with integral 19-in. EIA equipment rack flush-mount ears. The 4402 controller uses one set of two redundant front-panel SX/LC/T SFP modules uses two while the 4404 controller uses sets of two redundant front-panel SX/LC/T SFP modules: • 1000BASE-SX SFP modules provide a 1000 Mbps wired connection to a network through an 850nM (SX) fiber-optic link using an LC physical connector.
