1 About this Guide
This guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 1800s Network
Sensor. This guide also provides mounting instructions and limited troubleshooting procedures.
The Cisco Aironet 1800s Network Sensor is referred to as the network sensor, or sensor in this
document.
2 About the Network Sensor
The Cisco Aironet 1800s wireless network sensor is a part of Cisco's Wireless Service Assurance
solution. The Wireless Service Assurance platform has three components, namely, Wireless
Performance Analytics, Real-time Client Troubleshooting, and Proactive Health Assessment.
The Cisco Aironet 1800s network sensor is an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wave 2) sensor, with internal
antennas, and an Ethernet backhaul. The network sensor can be mounted, in a vertical orientation, on
a wall or a desk, and supports 2x2:2 SS MU-MIMO applications. The sensor is capable of connecting
to a Wireless LAN Controller via CAPWAP, or, joining an infrastructure Access Point as a client. The
sensor can be used to monitor, measure, and troubleshoot overall wired and wireless network
performance.
The 1800s wireless network sensor is available as a base unit with these three power accessory
modules:
• USB adapter module (AIR-MOD-USB-xx)
• AC adapter module (AIR-MOD-AC-xx)
• PoE/Ethernet module (AIR-MOD-POE-xx)
