Installation and Configuration
This document is written assuming that you have already determined the 802.11 topology as described
in the Appliance Mode sections in the Product Guide. Because the Radio Resource Management (RRM)
feature automatically detects and configures the access points as they appear on the network, it is not
necessary to have any access points on the network to install and configure controllers.
The controller is a slim 9 x 5.5 x 1.5 in. (22.9 x 14.0 x 3.8 cm) chassis that
