Software Features
The WLSE has the following major features:
•Configuration—Allows you to apply configuration changes to access points.
•Fault and policy monitoring—Monitors device fault and performance conditions, LEAP server responses, and policy misconfigurations.
•Reporting—Allows you to track device, client and security information. You can email, print, and export reports.
•Firmware—Allows you to upgrade the firmware on access points and bridges.
•Radio management—Helps you manage your WLAN radio environment.
The WLSE operates by gathering fault, performance, and configuration information about Cisco devices that it discovers in your network. The devices must be properly configured for discovery. After devices are discovered, you decide which devices to manage with the WLSE.
The WLSE has two user interfaces:
•The Command Line Interface (CLI), which you access by attaching a console to the WLSE or using Telnet or SSH. For information on all the CLI commands, see the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.
•The Web interface provides access to all device management tasks and most of the management tasks for the WLSE system. For information on using the Web interface, see the WLSE online help or the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.

Ethernet Connectors
The WLSE has integrated 10/100/1000-megabit-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet connectors. Each Ethernet connector provides all the functions of a network expansion card and supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet standards. The location of the Ethernet connectors is shown in Figure 1-2.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Network Cable Requirements
The Ethernet connectors are designed for attaching an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable equipped with standard RJ-45 compatible plugs. Press one end of the UTP cable into the Ethernet connector until the plug snaps securely into place. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack wall plate or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub, depending on your network configuration. Observe the following cabling restrictions for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T networks:
•For 10BASE-T networks, use Category 3 or greater wiring and connectors.
•For 100BASE-TX and 1000 BASE-T networks, use Category 5 or greater wiring and connectors.
•The maximum cable run length (from a workstation to a concentrator) is 328 feet (ft) or 100 meters (m).
•For 10BASE-T networks, the maximum number of daisy-chained concentrators on one network segment is four.
Note To avoid line interference, put voice and data lines in separate sheaths.
