C H A P T E R
Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point (hereafter called the access point) delivers a cost-effective,
reliable, secure, and easily managed wireless LAN solution for enterprise customers and for small and
medium sized businesses. The access point is designed to incorporate new technology enhancements as
they become available.
The access point can contain one or two wireless LAN transceivers (radios). Each transceiver serves as
the center point of a stand-alone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired
networks. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout
a facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.
The access point can support simultaneous dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) radio operation or
single-band (2.4-GHz only or 5-GHz only) radio operation. Single-band radio units can be
field-upgraded for dual-band radio operation through the addition of a 5-GHz radio module or a 2.4-GHz
radio card.
Note
The access point is IEEE 802.11b compliant when configured with the 2.4-GHz radio and is IEEE
802.11a compliant when configured with the 5-GHz radio module.

The access point can be initially configured from the factory for single- or dual-band radio operation.
However, an access point configured for single-band radio operation can be field-upgraded to support
dual-band radio operation using the 5-GHz radio module or the 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card.
2.4-GHz Mini-PCI Radio Card
The 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card connects to an internal access point mini-PCI slot. The radio card
contains a wireless LAN transceiver that operates in the 2.4-GHz frequency range to provide the access
point with single- or dual-band radio capability.
5-GHz Radio Module
The 5-GHz radio module connects to the access point’s card bus connector. The module incorporates an
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in two of the UNII
5-GHz frequency bands and supporting up to 8 channels:
•
UNII 1—Frequency range is 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
•

Overview
Key Features
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
The module contains dual integrated omnidirectional antennas and directional patch antennas for
diversity operation.
Power
The access point can receive power through an external power module or through inline power using the
Ethernet cable. Using inline power, you do not need to run a separate power cord to the access point.
Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the access point and plug the other end into
one of the inline power sources. The access point supports the following power sources:
•
Inline power
– A 1200 series power injector
– A switch with inline power, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL switch
– An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
•
A 1200 series power module (Universal power supply)
Caution
The 1200 series power injectors are designed for use with Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points only.
Using the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage the equipment.
Caution
The 1200 series power injectors are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building’s
environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Note
If you need to use a power module or power injector to power the access point, you must use the 1200
series power module or power injector. The 350 series power module and power injector are not
compatible with the 1200 series access point.
Note
Currently, only the 1200 series power injector and the power module can support simultaneous operation
of both the 2.4-GHz radio and the 5.0-GHz radio.
Note
When using in-line power from a switch or patch panel do not connect the 1200 series power module to
the access point. Using two power sources on the access point might cause the switch or patch panel to
shut down the port to which the access point is connected.
Note
Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful not to accidently connect the
Ethernet cable to the console port connector.

Overview
Key Features
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
Antenna Connectors
The access point supports two antenna connectors on the back of the unit for the 2.4-GHz radio. The
5-GHz radio supports only integrated antennas.
2.4-GHz Radio
The access point provides two reverse-polarity TNC (R-TNC) connectors that you can use to connect a
single antenna or dual diversity antennas to provide coverage for your wireless LAN area. Diversity
coverage helps maintain a clear radio signal between the access point and wireless client devices. Just
as you can improve signal clarity on your car radio at a stoplight by creeping ahead a few inches, the
access point can improve signal quality by choosing the antenna that is receiving the best signal from a
client device.
Ethernet and Console Ports
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet
LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a switch with inline power,
from a power patch panel, or from the access point’s 1200 series power injector.
Console Port
The console port provides access to the access point’s management system using a terminal emulator
program. Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable (refer to Appendix C, “Console Cable Pinouts”) to connect
your computer’s COM port to the access point’s serial console port. Assign the following port settings
to a terminal emulator to open the management system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop
bit and no flow control.
Metal Enclosure
The access point uses a metal enclosure having adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in a building’s environmental air space in accordance with Section
300-22(c) of the NEC, such as above suspended ceilings. The access point also supports an industrial
temperature operating range (refer to Access Point Specifications, page 1-10).

Network Configuration Examples
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
Network Configuration Examples
This section describes the access point’s role in three common wireless network configurations. The
access point’s default configuration is as a root unit on a wired LAN. The other two possible roles,
repeater unit and central unit in an all-wireless network, require specific changes to the default
configuration.
Note
The following network configuration examples apply to both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz wireless LANs.
Root Unit on a Wired LAN
An access point connected directly to a wired LAN provides a connection point for wireless users. If
more than one access point is connected to the LAN, users can roam from one area of a facility to another
without losing their connection to the network. As users move out of range of one access point, they
automatically connect to the network (associate) through another access point. The roaming process is
seamless and transparent to the user. Figure 1-3 shows access points acting as root units on a wired LAN.

Repeater Unit That Extends Wireless Range
An access point can be configured as a stand alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure or
to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. The repeater forwards traffic between
wireless users and the wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an access point
connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the greatest performance
for the client. Figure 1-4 shows an access point acting as a repeater.

Installation Guidelines
This section describes things to keep in mind when installing your access point. Sections include:
•
Basic Guidelines
•
Installation Above Suspended Ceilings
•
Coverage Options
•
Site Surveys
Basic Guidelines
Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can
reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
•
Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and
filing cabinets do not obstruct radio signals to and from the access point.
•
Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same
frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference.
Installation Above Suspended Ceilings
The access point uses a metal enclosure having adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in a building’s environmental air space in accordance with
Section 300-22(c) of the NEC, such as above suspended ceilings. For mounting instructions refer to
Chapter 4, “Mounting Instructions.”
Caution
Note
The 1200 series power injectors are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building’s
environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
If you plan to mount the access point in environmental air space using a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends
that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so will result in the
access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space with the 5-GHz radio
installed.

Coverage Options
The network architecture options of wireless stations and access points provide for a variety of coverage
alternatives and flexibility. The network can be designed to provide a wide coverage area with minimal
overlap or a narrow coverage area with heavy overlap. A narrow coverage area with heavy overlap
improves network performance and protection against downtime if a component fails.
Note
The following coverage options apply to both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz wireless LANs.
Minimal Overlap Coverage Option
By arranging the access points so that the overlap in a coverage area is minimized, a large area can be
covered with minimal cost (see Figure 2-1). The total bandwidth available to each wireless client device
depends on the amount of data each mobile station needs to transfer and the number of stations located
in each cell. Seamless roaming is supported as a client device moves in and out of range of each access
point, thereby maintaining a constant connection to the wired LAN. Each device in the radio network
must be configured with the same SSID to provide roaming capability.
Figure 2-1
Minimal Overlap Coverage Option
74001
Wired LAN
Heavy Overlap Coverage Option
By arranging the access points so the overlap in coverage area is nearly maximized, a large number of
mobile stations can be supported in the same wireless infrastructure. However, devices in overlapping
coverage areas on the same frequency will detect adjacent cell traffic and delay transmissions that would
cause collisions. This configuration reduces the aggregate radio system throughput. Heavy cell overlap
is not recommended for maximum system throughput.

Chapter 2
Installation
Unpacking the Access Point
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
Because of the redundancy in coverage overlap, network access is not lost if an access point fails. Upon
failure of the access point, the station automatically roams to an operational access point. With this
architecture, each device in the RF network must be configured with the same SSID to provide the
roaming capability.
Site Surveys
Because of differences in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, every
network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple access points, you should perform
a site survey to determine the optimum utilization of networking components and to maximize range,
coverage, and network performance.
When supporting dual mode 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz operation, you may have to perform a site survey for
each of the operating frequencies.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
•
Frequency—The radio coverage area for the 5-GHz radio is less than the coverage area for the
2.4-GHz radio.
•
Single- and dual-band operation—When supporting both single and dual band access points, you
should perform a site survey for each of the operating frequencies.
•
Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio
range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs
as the radio data increases.
•
Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio
range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height.
•
Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
Also, the less cluttered the work environment, the greater the range.
•
Obstructions—A physical obstruction such as metal shelving or a steel pillar can hinder
performance of wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is a metal
barrier between the sending and receiving antennas.
•
Building materials—Radio penetration is greatly influenced by the building material used in
construction. For example, drywall construction allows greater range than concrete blocks. Metal or
steel construction is a barrier to radio signals.
Unpacking the Access Point
Follow these steps to unpack the access point:
Step 1
Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents.
Step 2
Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it.
Step 3
Ensure that all items listed in the “Package Contents” section are included in the shipment. Check each
item for damage. If any item is damaged or missing, notify your authorized Cisco sales representative.

Basic Configuration
Before You Start
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
Before You Start
Before configuring the access point, you need to obtain the following information (possibly from your
network administrator):
•
The service set identifier (SSID) for the access point. If dual-band radio operation is supported,
different SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5-GHz operation may be used.
•
A system name for the access point. The name should describe the location or principal users of the
access point. The access point default system name is AIR-AP1200-xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last
6 digits of the access point MAC address.
•
If your network does not use DHCP or BOOTP to assign IP addresses, you need the following:
– IP address for the access point
– IP address for the default gateway
– IP subnet mask for the access point
•
The access point’s MAC address, which is printed on the label on the bottom of the access point.
•
Security settings for the wireless network, such as WEP, LEAP, and MIC settings. Different security
settings may be used for the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz wireless LANS. For additional information on
configuring the access point security settings, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point
Software Configuration Guide.
Summary of Configuration Steps
You use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings to the access point. For instructions on setting
up security, filtering, and other access point features, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point
Software Configuration Guide.
You will follow these general steps to enter the access point’s basic settings:
1.

the Ethernet and Power Cables” section on page 2-8.
2.
Use an Internet browser to open the access point’s management system by browsing to the access
point’s IP address or use a terminal emulator and the serial console port.
If your network uses a DHCP server and you are using a Windows operating system (Windows 95,
98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP), you can use the IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to find the access point’s
DHCP-assigned IP address. For other operating systems, you must use the serial console port. For
additional information on IPSU, refer to the “Using the IP Setup Utility” section on page 3-3.
To use the console port, you must connect an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable (refer to Appendix C,
“Console Cable Pinouts”) to your computer’s COM port and to the console port on the back of the
access point and use a terminal emulator to open the management system. For additional information
on using the console port, refer to the “Using a Terminal Emulator” section on page 3-9.
3.
Enter basic settings on the Express Setup page as described in the “Entering Basic Settings” section
on page 3-6.

Using the IP Setup Utility
D raft Copy - CI SCO CONF IDENTIAL
Using the IP Setup Utility
The IP Setup utility (IPSU) allows you to find the access point’s IP address when it has been assigned
by a DHCP server. You can also use IPSU to set the access point’s IP address and SSID if they have not
been changed from the default settings.
Note
IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP. For
other operating systems, you must use the access point console port and a terminal emulator program to
configure the access point.
The sections below explain how to install the utility, how to use it to find the access point’s IP address,
and how to use it to set the IP address and the SSID.
Obtaining and Installing IPSU
IPSU is available on the Cisco web site. Follow these steps to obtain and install IPSU:

Using a Terminal Emulator
This section provides instructions for using the console port and Microsoft’s HyperTerminal to set basic
access point settings; other terminal emulator programs are similar. Typically, you would use the serial
interface when the access point is initially being configured with basic settings and is easily accessible.
When the access point is initially configured and mounted in an elevated operating location, the browser
interface is more convenient to use to make access point configuration changes.
Selecting Pages and Settings
With the serial interface, when you enter names and settings that appear in brackets you jump to that
page or setting. HyperTerminal jumps to the page or setting as soon as it recognizes a unique name, so
you need to enter only the first few characters in the page or setting name. For example: to jump from
the home page to the Setup page, you only need to type s.
Applying Changes to the Configuration
The serial interface’s auto-apply feature is on by default, so changes you make to any page are applied
automatically when you move to another management page. To apply changes and stay on the current
page, type apply and press Enter.
Assigning Basic Settings
Follow these steps to assign basic settings to the access point using the console port and a terminal
emulator program:
Step 1
Connect a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable (Cisco part number AIR-CONCAB1200 or refer to Appendix C,
“Console Cable Pinouts”) to the COM port on your computer and to the console port on the back of the
access point.
Note
Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently
connecting the serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.

Overview
You can mount the access point on any of the following surfaces:
•
Horizontal or vertical flat surfaces, such as walls or ceilings
•
Suspended ceilings
The access point ships with a detachable mounting bracket and the necessary mounting hardware.
Because it is detachable, you can use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions of the
mounting holes for your installation. You then install the mounting bracket and attach the access point
when you are ready. Refer to Figure 4-1 to locate the various mounting holes for the method you intend
to use.
Note
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point provides adequate fire resistance and low-smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space in accordance with Section
300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC), such as above suspended ceilings.
Note
If you plan to mount the access point with the 5-GHz radio in environmental air space, Cisco
recommends that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so
results in the access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space.
Note
When mounting the access point in a building’s environmental air space, you must use Ethernet cable
suitable for operation in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National
Electrical Code (NEC).

Ethernet
The indicators signals have the following meanings:
•
The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This indicator
blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure.
•
The status indicator signals operational status. Blinking green indicates that the access point is
operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices. Steady green indicates that the
access point is associated with a wireless client.
For repeater access points, blinking 50% on, 50% off indicates the repeater is not associated with
the root access point; blinking 7/8 on, 1/8 off indicates that the repeater is associated with the root
access point but no client devices are associated with the repeater; steady green indicates that the
repeater is associated with the root access point and client devices are associated with the repeater.
•
Note
The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it
blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point’s radio.
The Radio and Status indicators are used for both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio operation.

WEP Keys
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any
wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your wireless LAN
adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the access point
to exactly the same value. The access point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.
Refer to the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide for instructions on
setting the access point’s WEP keys.
Security Settings
Wireless clients attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options
configured in the access point, such as EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity
Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.
Note
In the dual mode access point, the security settings can be different for the 2.4-GHz and the 5-GHz
wireless LANs.
If a wireless client is unable to authenticate with your access point, contact the system administrator for
proper security settings in the client adapter and for the wireless client adapter driver and firmware
versions that are compatible with the access point settings.
Refer to the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide for instructions on
setting and verifying the access point’s security options.
Resetting to the Default Configuration
If you forget the password that allows you to configure the access point, you may need to completely
reset the configuration. Follow the steps below to delete the current configuration and return all access
point settings to the factory defaults.
Note
Step 1
The following steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys,
the IP address, and the SSID. If you do not need to reset the entire configuration, use the Configuration
Reset buttons on the System Configuration Setup page in the web-browser interface. Consult the Cisco
Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide for more information on the reset
buttons in the Internet browser interface.
Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (Cisco part number AIR-CONCAB1200) to the COM port on
your computer and to the serial port on the back of the access point. For serial cable pinouts refer to
Appendix C, “Console Cable Pinouts.”
Note
Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently
connecting the serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.

The access point requires a special serial cable that connects the access point serial console port (RJ-45
connector) to your PC’s COM port (DB-9 connector). This cable can be purchased from Cisco (part
number AIR-CONCAB1200) or can be built using the pinouts in this appendix.
Console Port Signals and Pinouts
Use the console RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect the access point’s console port to the COM port
of your PC running a terminal emulation program.
Note
Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently connecting the
serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.
Table C-1 lists the signals and pinouts for the console RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
