RE: Cisco 702W APs

The 4 data ports on the 702 are configured down by default. We are on 7.6.130.0 and that means you must enable each port manually through the CLI of the WLC to make them active. Supposedly, you will be able to enter a range in 8.x. The other issue we saw is with the POE data port. We tested
