Connecting 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 on all connected ports. 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 access points.
