Compliance and Safety Information

FCC Safety Compliance Statement

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

Americas Headquarters: Cisco Systems, Inc., 170 West Tasman Drive, San Jose, CA 95134-1706 USA

Compliance and Safety Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• 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 Cisco 5700 Series Wireless 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.

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

Safety Information

Safety warnings appear throughout this guide in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The warnings below are general warnings that apply to the entire guide. Translated versions of the safety warnings in this guide are provided in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller document that accompanies this guide.

Warning

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.

Statement 1071

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Statement 372—Wireless LAN Products

All wireless LAN products in the 5.2/5.3GHz band cannot be used outdoors. Use the product only indoors.

Statement 191—VCCI Class A Warning for Japan

Controller Overview

Warning

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the VCCI Council. If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, radio interference may occur, in which case, the user may be required to take corrective actions.

Controller Overview

The Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller, designed for 802.11n performance and maximum scalability, supports up to 1000 access points and 12000 clients, making it ideal for large-sized enterprises and high-density applications. A core component of the Cisco unified wireless solution, this controller delivers wireless security, intrusion detection, radio management, quality of service (QoS), and mobility across an entire enterprise. The controller works in conjunction with other controllers, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and access points to provide network managers with a robust wireless LAN solution.

To best use this guide, you should have already designed the wireless topology of your network. Because the Radio Resource Management (RRM) feature automatically detects and configures access points as they appear on the network, it is not necessary to have any access points on the network in order to install and configure a controller.

Port Connections

The controller has both EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous (RJ-45) and USB 5-pin mini Type B, 2.0 compliant serial console ports. The default parameters for the console ports are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The console ports do not support hardware flow control.

For port descriptions, see the following:

• USB Type A Port, page 4

• USB Mini-B Console Port, page 5

USB Type A Port

port)

The USB Type A interface provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB keys).

The interface supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 64 MB to 1 GB.

Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller Installation Guide

OL-28544-01

Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.

USB Mini-B Console Port

The controller provides a USB mini-Type B console connection on the front panel, and an RJ-45 console port on the rear panel. Console output is always active on both connectors, but console input is active on only one connector at a time, with the USB connector taking precedence over the RJ-45 connector.

Use a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable to connect a PC or other device to the controller.

Note The 4-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.

Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

The connected device must include a terminal emulation application.The device can be a Linux, MacOS, or Windows device.

When the controller detects a valid USB connection to a powered device, input from the RJ-45 console port is immediately disabled, and the input from the USB console is enabled. Removing the USB connection immediately reenables input from the RJ-45 connection. An LED on the front panel is green when the USB console connection is enabled.

The controller provides a configurable inactivity timeout that reactivates the RJ-45 console if no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time period. After the USB console has been deactivated due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. You can disable USB console operation by using Cisco IOS commands. See the controller software configuration guide for details.

Controller Overview

Note Only a PC that has the necessary USB console device driver causes the USB console to become active.

Plugging in a PC that does not have the USB console driver support does not cause a switchover.

When using the USB console port for operation with Microsoft Windows, you must install the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver on any PC that is connected to the console port. If it is not installed, prompts guide you through a simple installation process.

Note The USB console driver also works on Linux and MacOS Hosts. See the notes listed inside the Cisco

Windows USB Console driver package for installation details.

To download the latest Cisco Windows USB Console Driver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Go to the Software download page at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html.

Step 2 Click Wireless.

Step 3 Click Wireless LAN Controllers.

Step 4 Click Standalone Controllers.

Step 5 Click Cisco 5700 Series Wireless LAN Controllers.

Step 6 Click USB Console Software and follow the download instructions.

1/10G SFP+ Ports

The SFP and SFP+ modules provide copper or fiber-optic connections to other devices. These transceiver modules are field-replaceable, providing the physical interfaces when installed in an SFP module slot. The SFP modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for copper connections.

Use only Cisco SFP and SFP+ modules on the controller.

Warning
