Safety Considerations

• Verify that the ambient temperature remains between 32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C), taking into

account the elevated temperatures when installed in a rack or enclosed space.

• When multiple 2504 controllers are mounted in an equipment rack, be sure that the power source

is sufficiently rated to safely run all the equipment in the rack (input: 100 to 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz,

output: 80 W per controller).

• Verify the integrity of the electrical ground before installing the controller.

Introduction to the Controller

The 2504 controller works in conjunction with Cisco lightweight access points and the Cisco Wireless

Control System (WCS) to provide system-wide wireless LAN functions. As a component of the Cisco

Unified Wireless Network (CUWN), the 2504 controller provides real-time communication between

wireless access points and other devices to deliver centralized security policies, guest access, Wireless

Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), context-aware (location), award-winning RF management,

quality of services for mobility services such as voice and video, and OEAP support for the Teleworker

solution.

The 2504 controllers supports up to 50 lightweight access points in increments of 5 access points with

a minimum of 5 access points, making it a cost-effective solution for retail, enterprise branches, and

small and medium-sized businesses. The 2504 controller comes with four 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Note Direct connection of access points to Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controllers are not currently

supported.

The 2504 controller offers robust coverage with 802.11 a/b/g and delivers unprecedented reliability

using 802.11n with Cisco Next-Generation Wireless Solutions and Cisco Enterprise Wireless Mesh.

To best use this guide, you should have already designed the wireless topology of your network and

have a working knowledge of how controllers function in a wireless LAN network.

Figure 1 shows a 2504 controller network topology and network connections, showing the medium

dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet cables required. The controller has an auto MDI feature, so you

can use straight-through or crossover cables.

Figure 2 shows the front panel and location of the ports and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for the 2504

controller. Table 1 describes the components of the front panel.

Note It is expected that there will be small variations in LED color intensity and hue from unit to

unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a

defect.

CONSOLE CPU console port The CPU console port is an RS-232 port that supports

a RJ-45 connector. At boot-up the controller configures

the RS-232 port as a console port with default settings

of 9600, N, 8, 1. The boot-loader supports baud rates

of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and

115200. A default baud-rate recovery mechanism is not

available; however the bootloader ensures that the

stored baud rate setting matches one of the allowed

values before setting the baud rate. If a nonstandard

value is detected the baud rate will default to 9600.
