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

•When multiple Cisco 2100 series 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: 100–240VAC,

50/60 Hz, output: 48VDC, 2.08A per controller).

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

Introduction to the Controller

The Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN 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, the Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN

Controller presents network administrators with the visibility and control necessary to effectively and

securely manage business-class WLANs and mobility services such as voice, guest access, and location

services.

Cisco 2100 series controllers have eight 10/100 copper Ethernet distribution system ports through

which the controller can support up to 6, 12, or 25 access points (2106, 2112, or 2125 models).

In order 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 typical Cisco 2100 Series Wireless LAN 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.

2 Unpacking and Preparing the Controller for Operation

Follow these steps to unpack the controller and prepare it for operation:

Step 1 Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents.

Step 2 Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it.

Step 3 Ensure that all items listed in the “Package Contents” section are included in the shipment.

Check each item for damage. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your authorized Cisco

sales representative.

Package Contents

Each 2100 series controller package contains the following items:

•One Cisco 2100 series wireless LAN controller

•One Power supply and power cord

•One Ethernet cable (RJ45 to RJ45)

•One Console cable (RJ45 to DB9)

•This guide

•Cisco product registration card

Note The controller ships with controller software loaded. When upgrading software, do not

upgrade to any release earlier than release 4.0.197.0

Required Tools and Information

You will need the following tools and information before you can install the controller:

•Wireless LAN controller hardware

–

Controller with factory-supplied power cord and mounting hardware

–

Network, operating system service network, and access point cables as required

•Command-line interface (CLI) console

–

VT-100 terminal emulator on CLI console (PC, laptop, or palmtop)

–

Null modem serial cable to connect CLI console and controller

•Local TFTP server (required for downloading operating system software updates). Cisco uses an

integral TFTP server. This means that third-party TFTP servers cannot run on the same

workstation as the Cisco WCS because Cisco WCS and third-party TFTP servers use the same

communication port.

Initial System Configuration Information

Obtain the following initial configuration parameters from your wireless LAN or network

administrator:

•A system (controller name), such as controller. The system name can contain up to 32 printable

ASCII characters.

•An administrative username and password, which can contain up to 24 printable ASCII

characters. If you do not specify a username and password, the defaults admin and admin are used.

•A management interface (DS Port or network interface port) IP address, such as 10.40.0.4.

•A management interface netmask address, such as 255.255.255.0.

•A management interface default router IP address, such as 10.40.0.5.

•A VLAN identifier if the management interface is assigned to a VLAN, such as 40 or 0for an

untagged VLAN.

•A management interface port, such as 1.

•A management interface DHCP server IP address, such as 10.40.0.6 (the IP address of the default

DHCP server that will supply IP addresses to clients and the management interface.

•An access point manager interface IP address, such as 10.40.0.7.

•A virtual gateway IP address (a fictitious, unassigned IP address, such as 1.1.1.1, used by all Cisco

wireless LAN controller Layer 3 security and mobility managers).

•A Cisco wireless LAN controller mobility or RF group name, such as rfgrp40 if required. An RF

group name can contain up to 19 printable ASCII characters.

•An 802.11 network name (SSID), such as wlan1. An SSID can contain up to 32 printable,

case-sensitive ASCII characters.

•Whether or not to allow static IP addresses from clients, either Yes or No.

–

Yes is more convenient, but has lower security (session can be hijacked).

–

No is less convenient, but has higher security and works well for Windows XP devices.

•RADIUS server IP address, communications port, and secret if you are configuring a RADIUS

server, such as 10.40.0.3, 1812, and mysecretcode.

•The country code for this installation. Enter help to see a list or refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller Configuration Guide for country code information. This guide is available at

cisco.com.

•Status of the 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g networks, either enabled or disabled.

•Status of radio resource management (RRM), either enabled or disabled.

Choosing a Physical Location

You can install the controller almost anywhere, but it is more secure and reliable if you install it in a

secure equipment room or wiring closet. For maximum reliability, mount the controller while

following these guidelines:

•Make sure you can reach the controller and all cables attached to it.

•Make sure that water or excessive moisture cannot get into the controller.

•Make sure that airflow through the controller is not obstructed. Leave at least 4 in. (10 cm) clear

on both sides of the controller.

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

•Make sure that the controller is within 328 ft. (100 m) of equipment connected to the

10/100BASE-T ports.

•Make sure that the power cord can reach a 100 to 240 VAC grounded electrical outlet.

Connecting the Controller’s Console Port

Caution Do not connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable to the console port. Doing so will

damage the controller.

Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses

a VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip). Follow these steps

to connect the PC to the controller’s console port:

Step 1 Plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the controller’s console port and

the other end of the cable into the PC’s serial port.

Step 2 Start the PC’s terminal emulation program.

Step 3 Configure the terminal emulation program for the following parameters:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•No flow control

•1 stop bit

•No parity

Running the Bootup Script and Power-On Self Test

When you plug the controller into an AC power source, the bootup script initializes the system, verifies

the hardware configuration, loads its microcode into memory, verifies its operating system software

load, and initializes itself with its stored configurations. Before performing this test, you should have

connected your PC to the controller’s CLI console as described in the “Connecting the Controller’s

Console Port” section on page 9. Follow these steps to run the bootup script and conduct the power-on

self test (POST).

Step 1 Plug the external power supply into the Power jack on the back of the controller.

Step 2 Plug a country-specific power cord into the external power supply, then plug the other end

into a grounded 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical outlet.

Note If you wish to run a previous release of the controller code, press Esc when the boot

loader prompt appears. The Bootloader Options menu appears.

Note When the controller receives power, the green front panel Power LED lights. If the

Power LED does not light, make sure that the electrical outlet is supplying power and

that the power connections to the controller are correct.
