Hardware Features Chapter 1 Overview Single or Dual-Radio Operation The 1131AG access point supports simultaneous radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio and a 5-GHz 802.11a radio. The 1131G access point supports a single 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio. Each radio uses dual-diversity integrated antennas. The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands. The 802.11g radio is called Radio0 and the 802.11a radio is called Radio1. 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 (refer to the "Locating the Product Serial Number" section on page xiii). The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the closed top cover (see Figure 1-1). Note Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point Ethernet port. Because of limited space in the connection area, booted connectors might not fit. Console Port The serial console port can be used to monitor the access point power-up sequences using a terminal emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see Figure 1-1). 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. Note Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point console port. Because of limited space in the connection area, booted connectors might not fit. LEDs The access point has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, radio activity, and status indications (see Figure 1-1). For additional information, refer to the "Troubleshooting Autonomous Access Points" section on page 3-1 or the "Troubleshooting Lightweight Access Points" section on page 4-1. • The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications (top cover closed). • The Ethernet LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications. • The Radio LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio interface and provides radio error indications. Note The access point cover must be closed to view the Status LED but the cover must be open to view the Ethernet and the Radio LEDs.

Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-8369-05

Chapter 1

Overview

Hardware Features

Single or Dual-Radio Operation

The 1131AG access point supports simultaneous radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio and a

5-GHz 802.11a radio. The 1131G access point supports a single 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio. Each radio uses

dual-diversity integrated antennas.

The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio

transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands. The 802.11g radio is called

Radio0

and the

802.11a radio is called

Radio1

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 (refer to the

“Locating the Product Serial Number” section on page xiii

). The

port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the closed top cover (see

Figure 1-1

Note

Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point Ethernet port. Because of

limited space in the connection area, booted connectors might not fit.

Console Port

The serial console port can be used to monitor the access point power-up sequences using a terminal

emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see

Figure 1-1

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.

Note

Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point console port. Because of

limited space in the connection area, booted connectors might not fit.

LEDs

The access point has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, radio activity, and status indications (see

Figure 1-1

). For additional information, refer to the

“Troubleshooting Autonomous Access Points”

section on page 3-1

or the

“Troubleshooting Lightweight Access Points” section on page 4-1

•

The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications (top cover closed).

•

The Ethernet LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals

Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.

•

The Radio LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals

that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio interface and provides radio

error indications.

Note

The access point cover must be closed to view the Status LED but the cover must be open to view the

Ethernet and the Radio LEDs.
