Deploying Controller-Based Access Points

In the controller-based architecture, you can deploy up to six controller-based

AP521s and configure them using the CCA. This procedure assumes that you

are using a UC500, a CE520, a WLC526, and the CCA.

Refer to the Cisco Smart Business Communications System Setup document,

Section 4, ”Deploy Advanced Wireless,” and follow the steps listed there.

Note Before you can deploy controller-based AP521s, you must first

configure the WLC526. See the Quick Start Guide: Cisco 526 Series

Wireless Express Mobility Controller for instructions.

Mounting the Access Point

The AP521 can be mounted as follows:

• On a horizontal or vertical surface

• On a suspended ceiling

• Above a suspended ceiling

• On a network cable box

• On a desktop
