8 Configuring the Network Sensor for Wireless Service

Assurance

The Cisco Aironet 1800s wireless network sensors are configured and managed by Cisco wireless LAN controllers. The wireless LAN controller manages network sensors in the same manner as it manages Lightweight Access Points. The controller also:

• Collect stats and data from Network Sensors, Infrastructure APs and Clients and display real time information from the data collected.

• Interfaces with Cisco Cloud Service to send the collected data at regular intervals, to enable the cloud service to display historical information about the wireless network health.

Each network sensor establishes a management and control connection to a Wireless LAN Controller over the intermediate Ipv4/Ipv6 network.

The wireless LAN controller operates as a control center that determines the current task for each network sensor. In addition to configuring network sensors, the controller also collects, aggregates, parses, and presents statistics and results returned from each network sensor.

The wireless LAN controller uses the data from the sensor for basic connectivity troubleshooting, RF performance troubleshooting, and Wireless QoE troubleshooting. The controller also periodically sends wireless network information to the Cisco Cloud Service's Performance Analytics function. The cloud-based Network Assurance Collector collects historical network assurance data, which is scheduled by the controller and collected by the network sensors.

For information on configuring the network sensor and on the role of the wireless LAN controller in Wireless Service Assurance, see the following guide:

Ces directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous, indépendamment de l'âge et de la santé.

Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploi

tés en évitant que l'utilisateur n'entre en contact avec les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance minimale telle que précisée par l'utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont conçues pour réduire l'exposition générale de l'utilisateur ou de l'opérateur.

Santé Canada affirme que la littérature scientifique actuelle n'indique pas qu'il faille prendre des précautions particulières lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil sans fil. Si vous voulez réduire votre exposition encore davantage, selon l'agence, vous pouvez facilement le faire en réorientant les antennes afin qu'elles soient dirigées à l'écart de l'utilisateur, en les plaçant à une distance d'éloignement supérieure à celle recommandée ou en réduisant la puissance de sortie de l'émetteur.
