What if the AP1200 is not procured from LXE?

If the AP1200 is not procured from LXE, then the antennas used with the AP must either be on Cisco’s approval list or on LXE’s approved antenna list. An AP1200 using LXE antennas shall be marked with LXE’s FCC ID. The following label kit will soon be available to add LXE’s FCC ID to an AP1200:

IV. Special Cables and Connectors

6700A051CONSCABLE Console Cable

This is an optional cable which can be used when configuring an AP1200. It allows direct connection from the AP1200 to a PC. Note: the AP1200 also has a browser interface and a Telnet interface which can be used for configuration.

RF RTNC Cables

The AP1200 has a special type of RTNC connector which may not work with non-LXE procurred RTNC cables. (The AP1200 RTNC connector has an extra internal shroud which prevents some brands of RTNC connectors from connecting to it.)

V.Power Inserter Warning

The AP1200 draws more current than an AP350. Thus, use the following power inserter with the AP1200:

6700A301PWRINSTR

VI. Hot Standby

The purpose of Hot Standby is to allow a user to have a backup AP in the same area as the primary. The backup will come online if it detects a network failure with the primary AP. Once the backup comes online for the primary, it will remain online until it is placed back into Hot Standby. This means that you will have two AP’s on the same channel in the same coverage area.

Hot Standby Setup Procedure

The procedure below describes how to enable Hot Standby on the AP 1200. The two AP’s must be configured the same except for the changes noted below.

1.On the “Summary Status” page, click “Setup”.

2.On the “Setup” page, click “Identification” in the AP Radio row.

3.Select “No” for the Adopt Primary Port Identity option.

4.Enter the default IP address that you would like for the radio. Please note that this IP address must be different from the Ethernet address. Click on “Apply” to save and reboot the access point.

5.Once the AP has booted, click on the “Cisco Services” option.

6.Click on the “Hot Standby Management” option and fill in the settings below:

•SSID - The SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point or a VLAN supported by the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks and VLANs in the same vicinity and provides access to VLANs by wireless client devices. Several access points on a network or sub-network can share an SSID. You can configure up to 16 SSIDs on each radio of an access point. An SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters long.

•MAC Address for the Monitored AP - Enter the monitored device's MAC address.

•Polling Frequency - Enter the number of seconds between each query the standby device sends to the monitored access point or bridge.

•Polling Tolerance Duration - Enter the number of seconds the standby device should wait for a response from the monitored access point or bridge before it assumes the monitored device has malfunctioned.
