Product specifications

• The APs are dynamically configured for RF and power levels, thus minimizing cost to implement, operate, and optimize wireless

coverage

Flexible and Easy Installation options (Lower Total Cost of Ownership)

Models are available with internal antennas. Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points support industry standard 802.3af Power over

Ethernet (via PoE switch or injector). An external power supply is also available.

In offices and similarly open environments, Cisco 521 Wireless Express Access Points may be installed on the ceiling to provide

users with continuous coverage as they roam throughout a facility. In school buildings and similar facilities, the access points may be

installed on the ceiling of each room and hallway to provide users with full coverage and high network availability. In areas where a

ceiling installation may not be practical, such as retail hotspots or similar small facilities, the access points can be mounted simply and

securely on walls for complete coverage with minimal installation cost.

Demonstration Notes

When performing this demo, keep in mind that it will take several minutes for the APs to register back to the controller and update

their status in CCA.

Demo Actions

AP Registration

STEP 1. Open CCA on the configuration PC or Laptop using the desktop shortcut. Login is <admin/cisco>

STEP 2. In CCA, go to MONITOR> Wireless Radios > Refresh.

STEP 3. On the screen you should see all access points, their names, MAC addresses, channel assignments and transmit power

Note The 521 APs should be setup in a six foot by six foot grid with WLC 526 and UC 520 in the middle

STEP 4. Unplug one of the APs. Pass these around to customers. When they are finished, have them plug the AP into the

appropriate Ethernet cable. It will take several minutes before the AP will be removed from the topology view. When

clicking on the Inventory button on the menu, removed AP should not be on the list.

STEP 5. Point out that no other tasks are required on the AP to replace or add APs. Everything is managed from the CCA 1.6.

Note Configuration and maintenance is not performed on the AP itself. (Zero-touch configuration).

Polling intervals can be adjusted from the Main Menu on the top bar. Topology view and options can be adjusted from the menu in the topology

window.
