Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller Getting Started Guide
 
  About This Guide
 shows the front panel and location of the ports and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for the 2504 
controller. 
 describes the components of the front panel.
Note
It is expected that there will be small variations in LED color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is 
within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a defect.

CPU console port
The CPU console port is an RS-232 port that supports a 
RJ-45 connector. At boot-up the controller configures the 
RS-232 port as a console port with default settings of 
9600, N, 8, 1. The boot-loader supports baud rates of 
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 
115200. A default baud-rate recovery mechanism is not 
available; however the bootloader ensures that the stored 
baud rate setting matches one of the allowed values 
before setting the baud rate. If a nonstandard value is 
detected the baud rate will default to 9600.

GigE port and LED
The Gigabit Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector 
form-factor. This port is designed so that 1500 VAC rms 
isolation (per the 802.3 specification) is met between 
chassis ground and any 48V/Ethernet signal.
