Cisco AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9 Data Sheet - Page 3

Data Sheet Access points may be placed above ceilings or suspended ceilings, allowing antennas to be discreetly placed below drop ceilings. The UL 2043 rating of the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series allows the access points to be placed above ceilings in plenum areas regulated by municipal fire codes. Public access applications such as large hotel buildings may also present a challenging RF environment; the antenna versatility of the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series, together with industryleading range and coverage, provides reliable performance for the most demanding environments. Features and Benefits Table 1 lists the features and benefits of Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points. Table 1. Features and Benefits of Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points Feature Dual 802.11a and 802.11g Radios Dual RP-TNC Antenna Connectors for Both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Radios Link-Role Flexibility Cisco Unified IDS/IPS Management Frame Protection Security Currently Supports 12 NonOverlapping Channels, with Potentially up to 23 Channels Rugged Metal Housing UL 2043 Plenum Rating and Extended Operating Benefit Provides up to 108 Mbps of capacity in a single device for industry-leading capacity and compatibility with older 802.11b clients. Antenna connectors support a variety of Cisco 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz antennas, providing range and coverage versatility. Autonomous access points can function as an access point or bridge, whether set up as a single-band or dual-band platform, allowing each radio to be individually configured as an access point repeater, root bridge, non-root bridge, or workgroup bridge, enabling a broad array of applications. This integrated software feature is part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network and is the industry's first integrated wired and wireless security solution. When a trusted client acts maliciously, the wired IDS detects the attack and sends shun requests to Cisco WLAN controllers, which will then disassociate the client device. This feature provides for the authentication of 802.11 management frames by the wireless network infrastructure. This allows the network to detect spoofed frames from access points or malicious users impersonating infrastructure access points. If an access point detects a malicious attack, an incident will be generated by the access points and reports will be gathered on the Cisco wireless LAN controller, Cisco WCS, or CiscoWorks WLSE.

Fewer transmission errors deliver greater throughput. Metal case and rugged features support deployment in factories, warehouses, the outdoors (NEMA enclosure required), and other industrial environments. Supports installation in environmental airspaces such as areas above suspended ceilings. All contents are Copyright © 1992-2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
