A Mobility 1240 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M4 x 25 pan head
screws and wall anchor - or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar.
Once the Mobility 1240 Access Point is installed with facade and cabled, the cables
(Ethernet and module connections) should not be visible when looking directly at
the unit (ceiling and wall mounts).
To prepare for the installation:
1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the
packing list and on the case of the Access Point.
2. Verify the contents of the box include the intended Mobility 1240 Access Point,
and the included hardware matches the package contents on page 4.

Precautions
Before installing a Mobility 1240 Access Point, verify the following:
•
Your using the correctly rated power solution for the Mobility 1240 Access Point
(either 802.3af or 802.3at power over Ethernet or the PWRS-14000-247R
external power supply).
•
Brocade recommends you do not to install the Mobility 1240 Access Point in
wet or dusty areas.
•
Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to
50° C.
Access Point placement
For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers,
heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other
industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add Access Points as
needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far
away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and
create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a
light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
•
Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•
Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception (applies to
external antenna models only).
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, Brocade recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles
before installing the Access Point.

Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet
A Mobility 1240 Access Point can receive power over Ethernet via an Ethernet cable
connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port.
When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in
obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each
access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an
electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location. Power
over Ethernet merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of
installation and allowing optimal Access Point placement in respect to the intended
coverage area.
CAUTION
Using non-compliant power over Ethernet, or power over Ethernet
supporting legacy modes will not allow the Mobility 1240 to function at
optimum performance levels.
2
CAUTION
Do not plug 802.3af or 802.3at power over Ethernet into the access
point’s Console port. Connecting 802.3af or 802.3at power over
Ethernet into the console port can damage the port and void the
Mobility 1240’s product warranty.
The Brocade access point Power Supply (Part No. PWRS-14000-247R) is not
included with the access point and is orderable separately as an accessory. If the
access point is provided both POE power and PWRS-14000-247R power
concurrently, the access point will source power from the PWRS-14000-247R
supply only. Disconnecting AC power from the PWRS-14000-247R, causes the
access point to re-boot before sourcing power from power over Ethernet. If the AP is
operating using power over Ethernet, the AP will not automatically reboot if an AC
adapter is connected. The access point continues to operate with power supplied
from the AC adapter without change to the access point operating configuration. If
using AC adapter supplied power and a change to the AP’s operating configuration
is warranted, the access point needs to be manually rebooted by the customer.

CAUTION
The access point supports any standards-based compliant power
source (including non-Brocade power sources). However, using the
wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy access point)
could either limit functionality or severely damage the access point and
void the product warranty.

Initial Access Point Configuration
Initial configuration
Once the Access Point is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to
get the device up and running by using the Initial Setup Wizard:
1. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a controller with an 802.3af
compatible power source or use the PWRS-14000-247R power supply to supply
power to the Mobility 1240 access point (once fully cabled).
If your host system is a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to
the Mobility 1240 Access Point and can be used for device connection.
However, if a DHCP server is not available, you will need to derive the IP
address from the Mobility 1240 Access Point MAC address. Using this method,
the last two bytes of the Mobility 1240 Access Point MAC address become the
last two octets of the IP address.
For Example:
MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
IP address equivalent - 169.254.240.10
To derive the Mobility 1240 Access Point’s IP address using its factory assigned
MAC address:

Page 35
Initial configuration
•
Virtual Controller AP - When more than one Access Point is deployed, a
single Access Point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 Access
Points can be connected to, and managed by, a single Virtual Controller AP
of the same Mobility 1240 Access Point model.
•
Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this Access Point as an
autonomous fat Access Point. A Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual
Controller AP, or adopted by a controller.
NOTE
If you are designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, Brocade
recommends that the Access Point’s UI, and not the CLI, be used exclusively to
define its device configuration. The CLI provides the ability to define more than
one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be
used collectively to manage profiles without an administrator encountering
problems.
11. Adopted to Controller - Select this option when deploying the Access Point as a
controller managed (Dependent mode) Access Point. Selecting this option
closes the Initial AP Setup Wizard. An adopted Access Point obtains its
configuration from a profile stored on its managing controller. Any manual
configuration changes are overwritten by the controller upon reboot.
