Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series IEEE
802.11a/b/g access points deliver the versatility, high
capacity, security, and enterprise-class features demanded by
WLAN customers. It is designed specifically for challenging RF
environments like factories, warehouses, and large retail
establishments that require the antenna versatility associated
with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal enclosure, and a
broad operating temperature range. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG
Series provides local as well as inline power, including support
for IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is a component of the Cisco
Unified Wireless Network, a comprehensive solution that delivers
an integrated, end-to-end wired and wireless network. Using the
radio and network management features of the Cisco Unified
Wireless network for simplified deployment, the Cisco Aironet
1240AG Series extends the security, scalability, reliability,
ease of deployment, and manageability available in wired
networks to the wireless LAN.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series offers link role flexibility
providing both access point and bridge function on the same
platform. Link role flexibility allows the radios to be
individually configured as an access point, repeater, root
bridge, non-root bridge, or workgroup bridge, enabling a broad
array of applications.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is available as an autonomous
access point or available supporting the Lightweight access
Point Protocol (LWAPP). When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco
Aironet 1240AG Series can automatically detect the
best-available Cisco wireless LAN controller and download
appropriate policies and configuration information with no
hands-on intervention.
With simultaneous support of 802.11a and 802.11g standards,
the Cisco Airon et 1240AG Series delivers up to a 108-Mbps data
rate in the 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz bands. The series currently
supports 12 non-overlapping channels (FCC; other regulatory
domains support different numbers of 802.11a channels) with
potentially up to 23 channels via a future firmware release
depending on FCC rules. Other regulatory domains may support a
different number of channels, simplifying deployments for
high-capacity wireless networks. For investment protection, the
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series fully supports the capabilities of
today's dual-band WLAN clients while providing backward
compatibility with legacy 802.11b clients.
The Aironet 1240AG IEEE 802.11a/g Non-modular LWAPP Access Point
delivers the versatility, high capacity, security, and
enterpriseclass features demanded by WLAN customers. These IEEE
802.11a/b/g access point is designed specifically for
challenging RF environments such as factories, warehouses, and
large retail establishments that require the antenna versatility
associated with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal
enclosure, and a broad operating temperature range.
