Note
Cisco Aironet AP-701E access points are designed for indoor use. If you install the access 
points in an enclosure, make sure the enclosure is designed to maintain an operating 
temperature between 32 and 104 degrees F (0 and 40 degrees C) and a humidity range 
between 10% and 90% (noncondensing). Failure to maintain these temperature and humidity 
ranges can cause the unit to fail and void your warranty.

Configuring and Deploying the Access Point on the 
Wireless Network
Controller Discovery Process
The configuration process takes place on the Wireless LAN Controller. See the Cisco Wireless LAN 
Controller Configuration Guide 
for additional information. This guide is available on Cisco.com at 
the following URL:
The access point uses the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol 
(CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other wireless access points on the network. 
CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol which enables an access controller to manage a 
collection of wireless termination points. The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the 
Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points. 
LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP and conversion to a CAPWAP controller 
is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers. 
The functionality provided by the controller does not change except for customers who have Layer 2 
deployments, which CAPWAP does not support.
In a CAPWAP environment, a wireless access point discovers a controller by using CAPWAP discovery 
mechanisms and then sends it a CAPWAP join request. The controller sends the access point a 
CAPWAP join response allowing the access point to join the controller. When the access point joins 
the controller, the controller manages its configuration, firmware, control transactions, and data 
transactions.
