THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL

STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required

to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not

installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital

devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television

communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its

peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits

controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.

We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities,

product installation, or basic product configuration. There is little or no impact to your business

operations.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, but most business

operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal business

hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects

of your business operations are negatively impacted by inadequate performance of Cisco products.

You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—An existing network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business

operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the

situation.

IEEE 802.11g-compliant) in an internal mini-PCI slot and a 5-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11a-compliant)

module in an external, modified cardbus slot. The access point supports one radio of each type, but it

does not support two 2.4-GHz or two 5-GHz radios. You can configure the radios separately, using

different settings on each radio.

The access point serves as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center

point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an

access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the

network.

You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the

browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Dual-Radio Operation

The 1200 series access point can be initially configured at the factory for single- or dual-radio operation.

You can also upgrade an access point configured for single-radio operation to support dual-radio

operation using a 5-GHz radio module or a 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card.

The 2.4-GHz mini-PCI radio card connects to an internal mini-PCI slot. The 5-GHz radio module

connects to the access point’s modified 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. The module contains dual integrated omnidirectional

antennas and directional patch antennas for diversity operation. The 2.4-GHz radio is called Radio 0 and

the 5-GHz radio is called Radio 1.

Ethernet Port

The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T

or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a

power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the

back of the access point.

Console Port

The console port provides access to the access point’s command-line interface (CLI) using a terminal

emulator program. Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer’s COM port to the access

point’s serial console port. (Refer to Appendix E, “Console Cable Pinouts,” for a description of the

console port pinouts.) 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.

Chapter 1 Overview Hardware Features

LEDs

The three LEDs on the top of the access point report Ethernet activity, association status, and radio

activity.

•The Ethernet LED signals Ethernet traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This LED

is normally green when an Ethernet cable is connected and blinks green when a packet is received

or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet cable is not

connected.

•The status LED signals operational status. Green indicates that the access point is associated with

at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the access point is operating normally but

is not associated with any wireless devices.

•The radio LED signals wireless traffic over the radio interface. The light is normally off, but it blinks

green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point radio.

Figure 1-1 shows the three status LEDs.

Figure 1-1 Access Point LEDs

Power Sources

The access point can receive power from 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. The

Chapter 1 Overview Network Configuration Examples

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 connected to a wired LAN or as the central unit in

an all-wireless network. The repeater role requires a specific configuration.

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 1-2 shows access points acting as root units on a wired LAN.

Network Configuration Examples

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 best performance for

the client. Figure 1-3 shows an access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Cisco IOS Software

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting up an access point as a

repeater.

Note Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.

Safety Information

Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the access point.

FCC Safety Compliance Statement

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio

frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved

Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in

OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found in

this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.

General Safety Guidelines

•Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

•Do not hold any component containing a radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching any

exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

•The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the local

codes, the national codes, and the safety directors of such environments.

Warnings

Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in Appendix A, “Translated Safety

Warnings.”

Warning

In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located

at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.

Warning

Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive

environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.

Warning

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Warning

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Warning

This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that

a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the

phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Unpacking the Access Point

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.

Package Contents

Each access point package contains the following items:

•Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point

•Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Power Module (Universal power supply)

•Quick Start Guide: Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points

•Cisco product registration and Cisco documentation feedback cards

Basic Installation 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 block the 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 (such as above suspended

ceilings) in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC. For mounting instructions, refer to the

Chapter 6, “Mounting Instructions.”

Caution Cisco Aironet 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 plan to mount the access point in environmental air space and will upgrade to 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 after the

5-GHz radio is installed.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time Assigning Basic Settings

•IP Address—Use this setting to assign or change the access point’s IP address. If DHCP is enabled

for your network, leave this field blank.

Note If the access point’s IP address changes while you are configuring the access point using the

web-browser interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the

access point. If you lose your connection, reconnect to the access point using its new IP address.

Follow the steps in the “Resetting the Access Point to Default Settings” section on page 3-2 if

you need to start over.

•IP Subnet Mask—Enter the IP subnet mask provided by your network administrator so the IP

address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.

•Default Gateway—Enter the default gateway IP address provided by your network administrator.

If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.

•Radio Service Set ID (SSID)—Enter the case-sensitive SSID (32 alphanumeric characters

maximum) provided by your network administrator. The SSID is a unique identifier that client

devices use to associate with the access point.

•Broadcast SSID in Beacon—Use this setting to allow devices that do not specify an SSID to

associate with the access point.

–

Yes—This is the default setting; it allows devices that do not specify an SSID to associate with

the access point.

–

No—Devices must specify an SSID to associate with the access point. With No selected, the

SSID used by the client devices must match exactly the access point’s SSID.

•Role in Radio Network—Click on the button that describes the role of the access point on your

network. Select Access Point (Root) if your access point is connected to the wired LAN. Select

Repeater (Non-Root) if it is not connected to the wired LAN.

•Optimize Radio Network for—Use this setting to select either preconcerted settings for the access

point radio or customized settings for the access point radio.

–

Throughput—Maximizes the data volume handled by the access point but might reduce its

range.

–

Range—Maximizes the access point’s range but might reduce throughput.

–

Custom—The access point uses settings you enter on the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11b

Settings page. Clicking Custom takes you to the Network Interfaces: Radio-802.11b Settings

page.

•Aironet Extensions—Enable this setting if there are only Cisco Aironet devices on your wireless

LAN.

•SNMP Community—If your network is using SNMP, enter the SNMP Community name provided

by your network administrator and select the attributes of the SNMP data (also provided by your

network administrator).

Step 7 Click Apply to save your settings. If you changed the IP address, you lose your connection to the access

point. Browse to the new IP address to reconnect to the access point.

Your access point is now running but probably requires additional configuring to conform to your

network’s operational and security requirements. Consult the chapters in this manual for the information

you need to complete the configuration.

Protecting Your Wireless LAN

Note You can restore the access point to its factory defaults by unplugging the power jack and

plugging it back in while holding down the Mode button for a few seconds, or until the Status

LED turns amber.

Default Settings on the Express Setup Page

Table 3-1 lists the default settings for the settings on the Express Setup page.

Protecting Your Wireless LAN

After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent

unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate

beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Configure some combination of these security features

to protect your network from intruders:

•Unique SSIDs that are not broadcast in the access point beacon (see Cisco IOS Software

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)

•WEP and additional WEP features, such as TKIP and broadcast key rotation (see Cisco IOS Software

Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)

Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility

•Dynamic WEP and client authentication (see Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco

Aironet Access Points)

Using the IP Setup Utility

IPSU enables 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. This section explains 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.

Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP.

Tip Another simple way to find the access point’s IP address is to look on the Status screen in the Aironet

Client Utility on a client device associated to the access point.

Obtaining and Installing IPSU

IPSU is available on the Cisco web site. Follow these steps to obtain and install IPSU:

Step 1 Use your Internet browser to access the Cisco Software Center at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-wireless.shtml

Step 2 Click Option 2: Aironet Wireless Software Display Tables.

Step 3 Locate the access point firmware and utilities section and click Cisco Aironet 1200 Series (Cisco IOS

Software).

Step 4 Click IPSUvxxxxxx.exe. The vxxxxxx identifies the software package version number.

Step 5 On the Encryption Authorization Form, enter the requested information, read the encryption

information, and check the boxes that apply.

Step 6 Click Submit.

Step 7 Read and accept the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement.

Step 8 Select the file again to download it.

Step 9 Download and save the file to a temporary directory on your hard drive and then exit the Internet browser.

Step 10 Double-click IPSUvxxxxxx.exe in the temporary directory to expand the file.

Step 11 Double-click Setup.exe and follow the steps provided by the installation wizard to install IPSU.

The IPSU icon appears on your computer desktop.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time

Using the IP Setup Utility

Using IPSU to Find the Access Point’s IP Address

If your access point receives an IP address from a DHCP server, you can use IPSU to find its IP address.

Because IPSU sends a reverse-ARP request based on the access point MAC address, you must run IPSU

from a computer on the same subnet as the access point. Follow these steps to find the access point’s IP

address:

Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility. The IPSU screen appears (see

Figure 3-4).

Figure 3-4 IPSU Get IP Address Screen

Step 2 When the utility window opens, make sure the Get IP addr radio button in the Function box is selected.

Step 3 Enter the access point’s MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The access point’s MAC address is

printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your

access point’s MAC address might look like the following example:

000164xxxxxx

Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive.

Step 4 Click Get IP Address.

Step 5 When the access point’s IP address appears in the IP Address field, write it down.

If IPSU reports that the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default IP address, then the access point did not receive

a DHCP-assigned IP address. To change the access point IP address from the default value using IPSU,

refer to the “Using IPSU to Set the Access Point’s IP Address and SSID” section on page 3-11.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time Using the IP Setup Utility

Using IPSU to Set the Access Point’s IP Address and SSID

If you want to change the default IP address (10.0.0.1) of the access point, you can use IPSU. You can

also set the access point’s SSID at the same time.

Note IPSU can change the access point’s IP address and SSID only from their default settings. After the IP

address and SSID have been changed, IPSU cannot change them again.

Note The computer you use to assign an IP address to the access point must have an IP address in the same

subnet as the access point (10.0.0.x).

Follow these steps to assign an IP address and an SSID to the access point:

Step 1 Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility.

Step 2 Click the Set Parameters radio button in the Function box (see Figure 3-5).

Figure 3-5 IPSU Set Parameters Screen

Step 3 Enter the access point’s MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The access point’s MAC address is

printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your

access point’s MAC address might look like this example:

004096xxxxxx

Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive.

Step 4 Enter the IP address you want to assign to the access point in the IP Address field.

Step 5 Enter the SSID you want to assign to the access point in the SSID field.

Note You cannot set the SSID without also setting the IP address. However, you can set the IP address

without setting the SSID.

Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI

Step 6 Click Set Parameters to change the access point’s IP address and SSID settings.

Step 7 Click Exit to exit IPSU.

Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI

When you connect the access point to the wired LAN, the access point links to the network using a bridge

virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the

access point’s Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.

When you assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI, you must assign the address to the BVI.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the access point’s

BVI:

Using a Telnet Session to Access the CLI

Follow these steps to browse to access the CLI using a Telnet session. These steps are for a PC running

Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for

detailed instructions for your operating system.

Step 1 Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet.

If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, select Start > Run, type Telnet in the entry field, and

press Enter.

Step 2 When the Telnet window appears, click Connect and select Remote System.

Note In Windows 2000, the Telnet window does not contain drop-down menus. To start the Telnet

session in Windows 2000, type open followed by the access point’s IP address.

Step 3 In the Host Name field, type the access point’s IP address and click Connect.

Command Purpose

Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2 interface bvi1 Enter interface configuration mode for the BVI.

Step 3 ip address address

mask Assign an IP address and address mask to the BVI.

Note If you are connected to the access point using a Telnet

session, you lose your connection to the access point

when you assign a new IP address to the BVI. If you

need to continue configuring the access point using

Telnet, use the new IP address to open another Telnet

session to the access point.

Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface

IOS Command Modes

The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you

depend on which mode you are currently in. Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a

list of commands available for each command mode.

When you start a session on the access point, you begin in user mode, often called user EXEC mode.

Only a limited subset of the commands are available in user EXEC mode. For example, most of the user

EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current

configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The user EXEC

commands are not saved when the access point reboots.

To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must enter a

password to enter privileged EXEC mode. From this mode, you must enter privileged EXEC mode

before you can enter the global configuration mode.

Using the configuration modes (global, interface, and line), you can make changes to the running

configuration. If you save the configuration, these commands are stored and used when the access point

reboots. To access the various configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From

global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and line configuration mode.

Table 5-1 describes the main command modes, how to access each one, the prompt you see in that mode, and

how to exit the mode. The examples in the table use the host name ap.

Table 5-1 Command Mode Summary

Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface Getting Help

Getting Help

You can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each

command mode. You can also obtain a list of associated keywords and arguments for any command, as

shown in Table 5-2.

Abbreviating Commands

You have to enter only enough characters for the access point to recognize the command as unique. This

example shows how to enter the show configuration privileged EXEC command:

ap# show conf

Using no and default Forms of Commands

Most configuration commands also have a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or

function or reverse the action of a command. For example, the no shutdown interface configuration

command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable

a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default.

Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface

Understanding CLI Messages

Configuration commands can also have a default form. The default form of a command returns the

command setting to its default. Most commands are disabled by default, so the default form is the same

as the no form. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default

values. In these cases, the default command enables the command and sets variables to their default

values.

Understanding CLI Messages

Table 5-3 lists some error messages that you might encounter while using the CLI to configure your

access point.

Using Command History

The IOS provides a history or record of commands that you have entered. This feature is particularly

useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries, including access lists. You can customize the

command history feature to suit your needs as described in these sections:

•Changing the Command History Buffer Size, page 5-4

•Recalling Commands, page 5-5

•Disabling the Command History Feature, page 5-5

Changing the Command History Buffer Size

By default, the access point records ten command lines in its history buffer. Beginning in privileged

EXEC mode, enter this command to change the number of command lines that the access point records

during the current terminal session:

Editing Command Lines that Wrap

You can use a wraparound feature for commands that extend beyond a single line on the screen. When

the cursor reaches the right margin, the command line shifts ten spaces to the left. You cannot see the

first ten characters of the line, but you can scroll back and check the syntax at the beginning of the

command.

To scroll back to the beginning of the command entry, press Ctrl-B or the left arrow key repeatedly. You

can also press Ctrl-A to immediately move to the beginning of the line.

Note The arrow keys function only on ANSI-compatible terminals such as VT100s.

In this example, the access-list global configuration command entry extends beyond one line. When the

cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar

sign ($) shows that the line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end of the line,

the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left.

The software assumes you have a terminal screen that is 80 columns wide. If you have a width other than

that, use the terminal width privileged EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.

Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and modify previous complex command

entries. For information about recalling previous command entries, see the “Editing Commands Through

Keystrokes” section on page 5-6.

Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort

through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.

To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the pipe character (|), one of the

keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search for or filter out:

command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output

are not displayed, but the lines that contain Output are displayed.

This example shows how to include in the output display only lines where the expression protocol

appears:

ap# show interfaces | include protocol

Vlan1 is up, line protocol is up

Vlan10 is up, line protocol is down

GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is down

GigabitEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up

Chapter 6 Mounting Instructions

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 6-1 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 (such as above suspended

ceilings) in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Note If you plan to mount the access point in environmental air space and will upgrade to 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 after the

5-GHz radio is installed.

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).

Checking the Top Panel LEDs

If your access point is not communicating, check the three LEDs on the top panel. You can use them to

quickly assess the unit’s status. Figure 9-1 shows the LEDs.

Figure 9-1 Access Point LEDs

The LEDs signals have the following meanings (for additional details refer to Table 9-1):

•The Ethernet LED signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This LED is

normally green when an Ethernet cable is connected, and blinks green when a packet is received or

transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet cable is not

connected.

•The status LED signals operational status. Steady green indicates that the access point is associated

with at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the access point is operating normally

but is not associated with any wireless devices.

•The radio LED 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.

Chapter9 Troubleshooting

Resetting to the Default Configuration

SSID

Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point.

If a client device’s SSID does not match the SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will

not associate. The access point default SSID is tsunami.

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 client 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 IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points 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.

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 client adapter driver and firmware versions that

are compatible with the access point settings.

Note The access point MAC address that appears on the Status page in the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) is the

MAC address for the access point radio. The MAC address for the access point Ethernet port is printed

on the label on the back of the access point.

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. You can use the MODE button on the access point or the web-browser interface.

Note The following steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys,

the IP address, and the SSID.

Using the MODE Button

Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory

defaults using the MODE button:

Step 1 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the

access point.

data rates The range of data transmission rates supported by a device. Data rates are

measured in megabits per second (Mbps).

dBi A ratio of decibels to an isotropic antenna that is commonly used to measure

antenna gain. The greater the dBi value, the higher the gain, and the more acute

the angle of coverage.

DHCP Dynamic host configuration protocol. A protocol available with many operating

systems that automatically issues IP addresses within a specified range to

devices on the network. The device retains the assigned address for a specific

administrator-defined period.

dipole A type of low-gain (2.2-dBi) antenna consisting of two (often internal) elements.

Domain Name The text name that refers to a grouping of networks or network resources based

on organization-type or geography; for example: name.com—commercial;

name.edu—educational; name.gov—government; ISPname.net—network

provider (such as an ISP); name.ar—Argentina; name.au—Australia; and so on.

DNS Domain Name System server. A server that translates text names into IP

addresses. The server maintains a database of host alphanumeric names and their

corresponding IP addresses.

DSSS Direct sequence spread spectrum. A type of spread spectrum radio transmission

that spreads its signal continuously over a wide frequency band.
