THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Overview
Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Points provide a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN
solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking
professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, the 1130 series access point is
a Wi-Fi certified, wireless LAN transceiver.
The access point contains two integrated radios: a 2.4-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11g) and a 5-GHz radio
(IEEE 802.11a). You can configure the radios separately, using different settings on each radio.
The access point serves as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center
point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an
access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the
network.
You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the
browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Ethernet Port
Console Port
NoteYour console cable connector must not include over-molding or a cable boot because of space limitations
Hardware Features
CISCO CONFIDENTIAL - Draft 1
The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a
power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the
back of the access point. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see
Figure 1-1).
The serial console port provides access to the access point’s command-line interface (CLI) using a
terminal emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see
Figure 1-1). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer’s COM port to the access
point’s serial console port. (Refer to Appendix E, “Console Cable Pinouts,” for a description of the
console port pinouts.) Assign the following port settings to a terminal emulator to open the management
system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
within the cable bay area of the access point.
LEDs
Power Sources
Warning
The report Ethernet has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, association status, radio activity, and
other status indications (refer to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2 for
additional information).
• The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications.
• The Ethernet LED is located in the cable bay ares under the access point top cover. This LED signals
Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.
• The Radio LED signals that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio
interface and provides radio error indications.
Figure 1-1 shows the locations of the three LEDs.
The access point can receive power from an external power module (supplied)or from inline power using
the Ethernet cable. The access point supports the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard and the Cisco CDP
Power Negotiation protocol. Using inline power, you do not need to run a power cord to the access point
because power is supplied over the Ethernet cable.
This product must be connected to a power-over-ethernet (POE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an
IEC60950 compliant limited power source.

Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Power Injector (supplied)
–
An inline power capable switch, such as Cisco Catalyst 3500XL, 3550, 4500, or 6500 switches
–
An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
–
Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard
configured with both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios. On power-up if access point is unable to determine that
the power source can supply sufficient power, the access point automatically deactivates both radios to
prevent an over-current condition. The access point also activates a Status LED low power error
indication and creates an error log entry (refer to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on
page 6-2 and the “Low Power Condition” section on page 6-5).
Anti-Theft Features
There are three methods of securing the access point to help prevent theft:
Figure 1-2Access Point with Security Hasp Adapter
• Security cable keyhole—You can use the security cable slot to secure the access point using a
standard security cable, such as those used on laptop computers.
• Security hasp adapter—When you mount the access point on a wall or ceiling using the mounting
plate and the security hasp, you can lock the access point to the plate with a padlock (see Figure 1-2).
Compatible padlocks are Master Lock models 120T and 121T or equivalent.
NoteThe security hasp adapter covers the cable bay area ( including the power port, Ethernet port,
console port, and the mode button) to prevent the installation or removal of the cables or the
activation of the mode button.

• Security screw—The access point contains a security screw hole (see Figure 1-3) that can be used
to attach the access point to the mounting plate to restrict access point removal. When a
security-type screw (user supplied) is used, access to the mounting screws that attach the mounting
plate is greatly restricted.
NoteThe use of a security-type screw does not restrict access to the access point cables or the mode
button.

Network Configuration Examples
This section describes the access point’s role in three common wireless network configurations. The
access point’s default configuration is as a root unit connected to a wired LAN or as the central unit in
an all-wireless network. The repeater role requires a specific configuration.
Root Unit on a Wired LAN
An access point connected directly to a wired LAN provides a connection point for wireless users. If
more than one access point is connected to the LAN, users can roam from one area of a facility to another
without losing their connection to the network. As users move out of range of one access point, they
automatically connect to the network (associate) through another access point. The roaming process is
seamless and transparent to the user. Figure 1-4 shows access points acting as root units on a wired LAN.

Repeater Unit that Extends Wireless Range
An access point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure or
to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. The repeater forwards traffic between
wireless users and the wired LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to an access point
connected to the wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the best performance for
the client. Figure 1-5 shows an access point acting as a repeater. Consult the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting up an access point as a
repeater.
NoteNon-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater access points.

Central Unit in an All-Wireless Network
In an all-wireless network, an access point acts as a stand-alone root unit. The access point is not
attached to a wired LAN; it functions as a hub linking all stations together. The access point serves as
the focal point for communications, increasing the communication range of wireless users. Figure 1-6
shows an access point in an all-wireless network.

FCC Safety Compliance Statement
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved
Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in
OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found in
this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
General Safety Guidelines
• Do not hold any component containing a radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the local
codes, the national codes, and the safety directors of such environments.
