© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.ONT v Summary The main components of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network are client devices, the mobility platform, network unification, network management, and unified advanced services. Cisco offers two WLAN implementations: an autonomous and a lightweight WLAN solution. Autonomous access points are configured per access point, while lightweight access points are configured via the WLAN controller. CiscoWorks WLSE is a server that supports centralized configuration, firmware, and radio management. Cisco WCS is a Cisco WLAN solution network management tool used for WLAN planning, configuration, and management. Three Cisco WCS tracking options are available: WCS Base, WCS Location, and WCS Location and Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.ONT v Summary (Cont.) The Cisco WCS Network Summary page provides a top-level description of your network and includes information about controllers, coverage areas, access points, and clients. The Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance system is used for tracking of thousands of wireless devices. An authorized login is required even to configure the basic Cisco WCS parameters. The user must supply the Cisco WCS software with campus, building, and floor plan graphics. When the lightweight access points on your WLAN are powered up and associated with controllers, Cisco WCS immediately starts listening for rogue access points.
