Configuration Options Chapter 1 Overview Configuration Options Like many Cisco devices, the WLC526 controller can be configured and operated through more than one interface. They are: • Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) • Controller web-browser interface (GUI) • Command-line interface (CLI) This section explains use and limitations of each interface. Using the Cisco Configuration Assistant The CCA is your primary tool to install, set up, configure, and monitor all the Cisco Smart Business Communications System devices. Many common tasks are automated, simplified, or guided to help you to establish and administer a safe, optimized wireless network. Note There is no charge to download or use this software. For information about downloading and installing CCA, refer to Getting Started with Cisco Configuration Assistant 1.5. The following sections highlight some of the setup and configuration tools available in CCA. Device Setup Wizard The CCA Device Setup Wizard guides you through the steps for making devices ready to use and ready for CCA to manage. For more information about using the Device Setup Wizard, see Chapter 2, "Adding a WLC526 Controller and LAP521 Access Points." Note The CCA Device Setup Wizard supports WLC526 controllers running software versions 4.2 and above. For controllers running earlier versions, see the "Using the Controller Web-Browser Interface (GUI)" section on page 1-8.

Cisco 500 Series Wireless Express Mobility Controller Configuration Guide
OL-15283-01
Chapter 1
Overview
Configuration Options
Configuration Options
Like many Cisco devices, the WLC526 controller can be configured and operated through more than one
interface. They are:
•
Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA)
•
Controller web-browser interface (GUI)
•
Command-line interface (CLI)
This section explains use and limitations of each interface.
Using the Cisco Configuration Assistant
The CCA is your primary tool to install, set up, configure, and monitor all the Cisco Smart Business
Communications System devices. Many common tasks are automated, simplified, or guided to help you
to establish and administer a safe, optimized wireless network.
Note
There is no charge to download or use this software. For information about downloading and installing
CCA, refer to
Getting Started with Cisco Configuration Assistant 1.5
.
The following sections highlight some of the setup and configuration tools available in CCA.
Device Setup Wizard
The CCA Device Setup Wizard guides you through the steps for making devices ready to use and ready
for CCA to manage. For more information about using the Device Setup Wizard, see
Chapter 2, “Adding
a WLC526 Controller and LAP521 Access Points.”
Note
The CCA Device Setup Wizard supports WLC526 controllers running software versions 4.2 and above.
For controllers running earlier versions, see the
“Using the Controller Web-Browser Interface (GUI)”
section on page 1-8
.
Cisco Smart Assist
CCA includes Cisco Smart Assist features with plug-and-play functionality. Smart Assist features
reduce the time it takes to set up devices and applications and optimize your network settings. Cisco
Smart Assist features include:
•
Default configurations to allow auto discovery of supported devices
•
Private branch exchange (PBX) configuration on the Cisco UC500 series appliance
•
Firewall activation included in the default configuration
•
Automatic assignment of phone extensions
•
Password and VLAN synchronization for supported system devices
•
Predefined configuration templates that automate SSID policy configuration, minimizing the
number of parameters required to complete configuration
