Introduction to the Access Point

The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point delivers a cost-effective, reliable, secure, and easily-managed wireless LAN solution for enterprise customers and for small and medium sized businesses. The access point is designed to incorporate new technology enhancements as they become available.

The access point can contain one or two wireless LAN transceivers (radios). Each transceiver serves as the center point of a stand-alone wireless network or as the connection point between wireless and wired networks. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.

The access point can support simultaneous dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) radio operation or can be configured from the factory for single-band operation: 2.4-GHz only or 5-GHz only. The single band radio units can be later filed upgraded for dual band operation through the addition of a 5-GHz radio module or a 2.4-GHz radio card.

Note This guide provides information about the dual-band configuration.

Your access point’s configuration may vary depending on the what you ordered.
