Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The below table outlines the wireless specifications from the datasheet of the CBW240AC device. Below are links to the data sheets for all CBW series devices.

Item

Specification

Requirements
●  Requires a Cisco Business access point within the network for mesh connectivity

Authentication and security
●  Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
●  802.1X, RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)
●  802.11r and 802.11i

Maximum clients
●  Maximum number of associated wireless clients: 200 per Wi-Fi radio, for a total of 400 clients per access point
