Cisco Systems 8500 User Manual

The Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller is available in two versions: the standard AC version with the 
PID [AIR-CT8510-K9] and the new DC version with the PID [AIR-CT85DC-K9]. The only difference 
between these two offerings is the power supply shipped with the product.

The following sections describe the features and technologies used by the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless 
Controller.

The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor functions. The IMM provides 
advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition 
exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the 
problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. The IMM provides remote 
server management through the following industry-standard interfaces: 

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
