8 Configuring the Network Sensor for Wireless Service
Assurance
The Cisco Aironet 1800s wireless network sensors are configured and managed by Cisco wireless LAN
controllers. The wireless LAN controller manages network sensors in the same manner as it manages
Lightweight Access Points. The controller also:
• Collect stats and data from Network Sensors, Infrastructure APs and Clients and display real time
information from the data collected.
• Interfaces with Cisco Cloud Service to send the collected data at regular intervals, to enable the
cloud service to display historical information about the wireless network health.
Each network sensor establishes a management and control connection to a Wireless LAN Controller
over the intermediate Ipv4/Ipv6 network.
The wireless LAN controller operates as a control center that determines the current task for each
network sensor. In addition to configuring network sensors, the controller also collects, aggregates,
parses, and presents statistics and results returned from each network sensor.
The wireless LAN controller uses the data from the sensor for basic connectivity troubleshooting, RF
performance troubleshooting, and Wireless QoE troubleshooting. The controller also periodically
sends wireless network information to the Cisco Cloud Service's Performance Analytics function. The
cloud-based Network Assurance Collector collects historical network assurance data, which is
scheduled by the controller and collected by the network sensors.
For information on configuring the network sensor and on the role of the wireless LAN controller in
Wireless Service Assurance, see the following guide:

margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user.
It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum
distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to
reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
The device has been tested and found compliant with the applicable regulations as part of the radio
certification process.

The US Food and Drug Administration has stated that present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. The FCC recommends that if you
are interested in further reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by reorienting antennas
away from the user or placing the antennas at a greater separation distance then recommended or
lowering the transmitter power output.

This Device Meets the Industry Canada Guidelines for Exposure to Radio
Waves
The 1800s network sensor device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) as referenced in Health
Canada Safety Code 6. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed into the limit to
ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user.
It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum
distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to
reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.

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.
Cet appareil est conforme aux directives internationales en matière
d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques
Cet appareil de la gamme 1800s comprend un émetteur-récepteur radio. Il a été conçu de manière à
respecter les limites en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (champs
électromagnétiques de fréquence radio), recommandées dans le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada.
Ces directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous,
indépendamment de l'âge et de la santé.
Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploités en évitant que l'utilisateur n'entre en
contact avec les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance
minimale telle que précisée par l'utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont
conçues pour réduire l'exposition générale de l'utilisateur ou de l'opérateur.
Distance d'éloignement
Fréquence MPE Distance Limite
2.4 GHz 0.17 W/m220 cm (7.87 inches) 5.4 W/m2

Santé Canada affirme que la littérature scientifique actuelle n'indique pas qu'il faille prendre des
précautions particulières lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil sans fil. Si vous voulez réduire votre
exposition encore davantage, selon l'agence, vous pouvez facilement le faire en réorientant les antennes
afin qu'elles soient dirigées à l'écart de l'utilisateur, en les plaçant à une distance d'éloignement
supérieure à celle recommandée ou en réduisant la puissance de sortie de l'émetteur.
