Cisco Catalyst 9115AXI-E Wireless Access Point, Wi-Fi 6, 4x4 MU-MIMO, Controller Managed, PoE, Internal antenna, (C9115AXI-E)

Product Information

The administrator user accounts are required for logging into the EWC controller to monitor and configure the wireless network. They can be configured with read/write or read-only privileges by going to the WLC main menu and then choosing Administration > User Administration > Add. The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Access Points runs on Cisco IOS XE Software version 16.12.2 or later.

For additional information on Cisco antennas, see the Cisco Antenna Reference Guide at this URL: https://www.cisco.com/go/antenna-ref The IEEE 802.11ax emerging standard, also known as High-Efficiency-Wireless (HEW) or Wi-Fi 6, builds on 802.11ac. It will deliver a better experience in typical environments and more predictable performance for advanced applications such as 4K or 8K video, high-density, high-definition collaboration apps, all-wireless offices, and IoT. 802.11ax is designed to use both the 2.4-Ghz and 5-GHz bands, unlike the 802.11ac standard.

Detailed Channels and Maximum Power Settings for Cisco Catalyst 9115E Indoor Access Points 06-Jul-2020 (XLSX - 9 MB) Information about Cisco’s environmental sustainability policies and initiatives for our products, solutions, operations, and extended operations or supply chain is provided in the “Environment Sustainability” section of Cisco’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. You will need a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop to connect to the predefined CiscoAirProvision- SSID for provisioning and configuring the EWC. Alternatively, you can use a mobile device or tablet with the Cisco Catalyst Wireless application installed to configure and provision the EWC.

Health Canada states that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user, placing the antennas at a greater separation distance than recommended, or lowering the transmitter power output.

After changing the AP type, if this AP is migrated to a non-EWC network, it joins the controller in that network. If the image on that controller is different from the one on the AP, a new CAPWAP image is requested from the controller. You can convert an EWC to function as CAPWAP by executing a single command from the access point CLI: Integrated internal antennas, omni directional in azimuth for both 2.4 GHz (peak gain 3dBi) and 5 GHz (peak gain 4dBi)
