The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. You can change it entering the

following command:

(system prompt)>config prompt

Because this is a user-defined variable, it is omitted from the rest of this documentation.

Step 3 The CLI automatically logs you out without saving any changes after 5 minutes of inactivity. This

automatic logout can be set from 0 (never log out) to 160 minutes using the following command:

(system prompt)>config serial timeout

Connecting the Network (Distribution System)

Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 for connections from the network (Distribution System) to the controller.

• For the 4402 controller, up to two of the following connections are supported in any combination:

–

1000BASE-T (GigE, front panel, RJ-45 physical port, UTP cable).

–

1000BASE-SX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links

using LC physical connectors).

–

1000BASE-LX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 1300nM (LX/LH) fiber-optic

links using LC physical connectors).

• For the 4404 controller, up to four of the following connections are supported in any combination:

–

1000BASE-T (GigE, front panel, RJ-45 physical port, UTP cable).

–

1000BASE-SX (GigE, front panel, LC physical port, multi-mode 850nM (SX) fiber-optic links

using LC physical connectors).

–

1000BASE-LX (GigE, front panel, LX physical port, multi-mode 1300nM (LX/LH) fiber-optic

links using LC physical connectors).

Depending on the Distribution System physical port to be assigned in “Configuring Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller Interfaces” in the product guide, use ethernet CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6, or CAT-7 cables or

SX/LX/LH compatible fiber optic cables to connect the network equipment to the controller.
