Chapter 2 Adding a WLC526 Controller and LAP521 Access Points Adding LAP521 Access Points Step 4 After verifying the IP address of your Ethernet adapter, close the window by clicking the Red X box. Adding LAP521 Access Points Each WLC526 controller supports up to six controller-based LAP521 access points. For additional information on mounting the access points, refer to the Quick Start Guide: Cisco 521 Wireless Express Access Point at this Cisco.com URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/521/quick/guide/a521qsg.html You must connect your LAP521 access points to a switch to enable communications with a controller. Note The WLC526 controller supports only controller-based LAP521 access points. It does not support Cisco Aironet lightweight access points, such as the 1000, 1130, 1200, 1240, 1250, 1300, 1500, or 1520 series access points. Note The switch ports to which you connect your access points must be configured as access point smart ports. You can use CCA or the switch web-browser interface to configure the switch ports. The access points can be powered by PoE from your switch, by a power injector, or by a power module. On power up, the access points begin a discovery process that automatically connects them with your controller. The discovery process is indicated by the Status LED indicator on the access point blinking green, red, and amber. When the access point associates with the controller, the Status LED changes to light green. For more information about the LED color codes, refer to the Quick Start Guide: Cisco 521 Wireless Express Access Point. When the LAP521 associates to the WLC526, the controller automatically downloads the latest operating system and configures the access point.

Adding a WLC526 Controller and LAP521 Access Points
Adding LAP521 Access Points
Step 4
After verifying the IP address of your Ethernet adapter, close the window by clicking the Red X box.
Adding LAP521 Access Points
Each WLC526 controller supports up to six controller-based LAP521 access points. For additional
information on mounting the access points, refer to the
Quick Start Guide: Cisco 521 Wireless Express
Access Point
at this Cisco.com URL:
You must connect your LAP521 access points to a switch to enable communications with a controller.
Note
The WLC526 controller supports only controller-based LAP521 access points. It does not support Cisco
Aironet lightweight access points, such as the 1000, 1130, 1200, 1240, 1250, 1300, 1500, or 1520 series
access points.
Note
The switch ports to which you connect your access points must be configured as access point
smart
ports
. You can use CCA or the switch web-browser interface to configure the switch ports.
The access points can be powered by PoE from your switch, by a power injector, or by a power module.
On power up, the access points begin a discovery process that automatically connects them with your
controller. The discovery process is indicated by the Status LED indicator on the access point blinking
green, red, and amber. When the access point associates with the controller, the Status LED changes to
light green. For more information about the LED color codes, refer to the
Quick Start Guide: Cisco 521
Wireless Express Access Point.
When the LAP521 associates to the WLC526, the controller automatically downloads the latest
operating system and configures the access point.
