subject: Air-ap1242ag-a-k9 And Its Application [print this page]

Cisco Aironet 1200 Series meets the needs of today's applications and protect

future investments in network infrastructure. The modular design of the

AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 offers high performance 802.11g configured access point that

allows a single radio configuration or double. Although the access point 802.11g

is configured to meet the needs of most customers and applications that may not

have a current need for 802.11a, a kit for easy 802.11a upgrade is available to

increase the scalability and performance with complete backward compatibility

for legacy clients.

AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 supports 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), WPA and

numerous Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2 are the

Wi-Fi Alliance certification for interoperable network settings, standards-based

wireless LAN security. These certifications support IEEE 802.1X user

authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), WPA encryption and

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), WPA2 encryption. These certifications help

to ensure the interoperability of WLAN devices with Wi-Fi certification from

different manufacturers.

AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 hardware AES encryption supports enterprise-class

acceleration, the government secure encryption on the wireless LAN without

compromising performance. IEEE 802.1X authentication ensures that only

authorized users are allowed on the network. The series also provides backward

compatibility and support for WPA client devices running TKIP, using the RC4

encryption algorythm.

Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points operating with LWAPP support Cisco

Unified Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS / IPS), a

software feature is part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network and is the first

solution integrated wired and wireless security. Cisco Unified IDS / IPS takes a

comprehensive approach to safety at the end wireless, wired edge, WAN edge, and

the data center. When an associated client sends malicious traffic through the

Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a Cisco wired IDS device detects the attack and

sends requests to flee Cisco WLAN controllers, which is then separated from the

client machine.

Autonomous or unified Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points support the

security management framework for the verification of 802.11 management frames

to the wireless network infrastructure. This allows the network to identify

counterfeit frames of base stations, or malicious users impersonating

infrastructure such as base stations. If the access point detects a malicious

attack, the case seems to produce the base station and reports collected by the

Cisco Wireless

LAN controller, Cisco WCS, or CiscoWorks WLSE.

With large storage capacity and support for Cisco management tools, the

AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 provides the capacity and means to improve and offer new

features as they become available. For additional investment protection, the

AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 comes with an integrated mounting system that keeps the device

via the customers choice of laptop security cables or standard padlocks. The

reliability of the 802.11g solution makes the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series a wise

investment for the companys customers. It offers field-proven reliability with a

Cisco Aironet fifth-generation 2.4 GHz radio module An update available 802.11a

radio enhances the capacity and performance, delivering up to 54 Mbps data rate

in all the 12 channels available and allow the wireless network to expand to

accommodate a large number of users.

With the AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 single access point you can run a radio 802.11b/g

clients, while supporting new users by adding another radio to 802.11a network

performance and capacity scale. Installation options increase the flexibility of

the AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 access point and integrated mounting systems are designed

to be mounted on walls, ceilings, and with its metal casing above suspended

ceilings. With its range of operating temperatures and broad-cast aluminum, this

unit is the strength required in factories, warehouses and harshest

environments. Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and local power maximizes teeth

allow for some flexibility.

All available radios (802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g) provide a variety of

transmit power settings to adjust coverage area size. To increase the

flexibility of deployments, the 802.11a radio module is available in two

versions (Figure 1). Both versions offer up to 12 non-overlapping channels in

the 5 GHz band (subject to local regulations), 11 others will be available in

2005 with a firmware upgrade on the floor. One version provides two antenna

connectors for use with a wide variety of Cisco antennas to achieve greater

reach and coverage of specific applications. The second has an integrated

antenna design that incorporates diversity omnidirectional (5 dBi) and patch

antennas (9 dBi). For the ceiling, desk or other horizontal installations, the

integrated omnidirectional antenna provides optimal coverage pattern and maximum

range.

For wall mounting, the patch antenna provides a hemispherical coverage pattern

that uniformly directs the radio energy from the wall and across the room. Both

omni-directional and patch antennas offer diversity for maximum reliability,

even in environments with high multiples such as offices and other indoor

environments. Coupled with the broadest range of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas in

the industry, offering users unprecedented flexibility in cell size and coverage

patterns
