What Can You Do with the WC7520 Wireless Controller?

These are some of the tasks that you can perform with a WC7520 wireless controller:

Design a WLAN. Design an efficient WLAN with building and floor dimensions for your 

specific environment.

Estimate the number of required access points and their approximate locations. 

Estimate how many access points you need for your wireless coverage and determine 
their optimum location for best coverage and performance.

For more information, see 

Discover access points in the network. The access points can be in factory default 

state or functioning in standalone mode, but after discovery by the wireless controller and 
addition to the managed access point list, the access points become dependent 
(managed) access points.

Provision IP addresses to the access points. Use the internal DHCP server to 

provision IP addresses to all or selected managed access points in the network.

Upgrade access point firmware. Update and synchronize new firmware versions to all 

managed access points in the network.

Create access point profiles. Organize access points in profiles to differentiate between 

SSIDs, client authentication, authentication settings, and wireless QoS settings.

Create access point profile groups. Organize access point profiles in access point 

profile groups to differentiate between buildings, floors, businesses or business divisions,
