Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller Getting Started Guide
Unpacking and Preparing the Controller for Operation
Unpacking and Preparing the Controller for Operation
Follow these steps to unpack the 2504 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 2504 controller package contains the following items:
• One Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller.
• One Power supply and power cord (power cord option configurable).
• Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller software pre-loaded on the controller (software option
configurable).
• Optional licenses will be pre-installed on controller at factory, if selected.
• Two Number 6 Phillips pan-head screws for mounting the controller on a desk, shelf, or wall.
• Two wall anchors.
• Strain relief clip and screw.
• Optional hardware will be included, if selected.
Required Tools and Information
You will need the following tools and information before you can install the controller:
• Wireless 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:
