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.

This section provides instructions for changing the 1200 series access point output power to comply with
the maximum power limits imposed by special regulatory and country restrictions (see the“Maximum
Power Levels in Some Regulatory Domains with External Antennas” section on page 4-8 and the
“Special Country Restrictions” section on page 4-9). Follow these instructions to change the output
power settings using a controller and your browser:
Note Administrator privileges may be required in order to change access point settings.
Note Regulatory domains are set at the factory and cannot be changed by the user.
Caution To meet regulatory restrictions, the access point and the external antenna must be professionally
installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the
unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password
protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.
The output power on the access points can be changed only using a Cisco wireless LAN controller (2600
series or 4400 series), the controllers on a Cisco Wireless Services Module (WiSM), or using Cisco
Wireless Control System (WCS).
Note See the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more details on how to to configure your

Step 7 In the Tx Power Level field, select the appropriate power level setting (1 to 8).
Based on the operating channel, the regulatory domain, and the controller power level setting (1 to 8),
the actual transmit power at the access point can be reduced to comply with special regulatory or country
restrictions.
Table 4-10 lists the controller power settings and the corresponding output power levels for these two
examples:
• 2.4-GHz (802.11b/g) operation:
–
(–E) regulatory domain and channel 2 using 11-Mbps data rates
–
6-dBi external antenna
• 5-GHz (802.11a) operation:
–
(–E) regulatory domain and channel 52 using 36-Mbps data rates
–
RM22A with 6-dBi external antenna
• For 802.11b (CCK) and 802.11g (OFDM) data rates (see Table 4-3 and Table 4-10), the manual
controller Tx Power Level setting is 3.
• For only 802.11b (CCK) data rates (see Table 4-3 and Table 4-10), the manual controller Tx Power
Level setting is 2.
• For 802.11a (see Table 4-7 and Table 4-10), the manual controller Tx Power Level setting is 2.

Note The access point has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the product hardware
installation guide and having a maximum gain of 10 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 6 dBi for 5 GHz. Antennas not
included in this list or having a higher gain are strictly prohibited for use with the access point. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Note To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than required for successful
communication.
2.4 GHz Band (Draft IEEE 802.11n Version 2.0)
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated
