The A9500 AP Series includes the A9552 AP. This AP can be deployed in any
environment, including factories, warehouses, retail stores, and health clinics.
6 internal antennas
This AP ships in fat mode but can be converted to fit mode. (This conversion requires
different AP software.) In fit mode, the A9552 AP can be controlled by any of the
WLAN access controllers described later in this module.

One 10/100port
It also ships with a PoE injector, so it can be powered through PoE without a PoEenabled switch.

The A7700 AP Series includes the A7760 AP, an AP that can be installed in areas
where 802.11n coverage is not required. It is small and easy to deploy. Because a
PoE injector is shipped in the box, it can be powered by PoE without a PoE-capable
This AP also provides:
The A7760 AP ships in fat mode but can be converted to fit mode. (This conversion
requires different AP software.) When running in fit mode, it can be controlled by
any of the WLAN access controllers described later in this module.

Antenna cables introduce loss in the radio frequency signal. You should use the
shortest cable you possibly can.
Note
The antennas may not be used with all channels in all countries. Review the
documentation for each AP you plan on installing with an antenna.

Rather than purchase a wireless switch, customers may want to purchase a WLAN
access controller module that can be installed into their A5800 Switch chassis.
The A5800 Access Controller Module for 32-64 APs can be installed in A5800-48G
with 2 Slots, A5800-48G-PoE, A5800-48G, A5800-24G-PoE, A5800-24G, and
A5800-24G-SFP switches. This module offers the following:
The module uses the two internal Ethernet switch interfaces to communicate with the
switch.
The A5800 Access Controller Module for 64-256 APs can be installed in an A580048G with 2 Slots switch. This module offers the following:

This module has introduced you to the A-Series wireless solutions. You have learned
about the APs that function as fit APs and those that function as either fit or fat. You
also learned that some APs have a single radio and others have two radios, and
many support external antennas.
In addition, you learned that customers can purchase WLAN access controllers to
control multiple fit APs. These WLAN access controllers are available as wireless
switches or as access controller modules, which are installed in a switch.
