Aironet 1260 AP

I wanted to ask if I was looking to deploy a 1260 access point, would I need to replace the 4400 WLC with a 5500 or will the access point work with a 4400?

Hi Marcus,
The AP 1260 is supported only after WLC software version 7.0 and it is supported on 4400 as well but we need t orun 7.0 and above software release..

Make SSID Hidden Aironet 1260

We have three Access Points, two Cisco Aironet 1260 and one 1240AG. Originally, the SSID was hidden on all three AP's and users had to go to Other Networks and type in the SSID and password to access the WAN. About a few months ago, the network started broadcasting to the public. I am trying to make the SSID hidden again, any suggestions? I have tried going to the Security tab, choosing the SSID Manager and setting single guest mode to none but it has not helped. Any suggestions? I have researched this a lot. If you are confused on my situation ask me questions.
Michael

Amjad,
The SSID is based on the company I work for so I think it is safe to rule out other people with the same SSID. We are in a building with a few companies.
I did not get a chance to try your method yet because the AP's are hanging from the ceiling and I think I need to download something to change the CLI. I manage at the AP configs off of their IP addresses all the time.
I got the SSID to remain hidden now which forces me to connect to it through other networks and knowing the SSID in advance. This what I was trying to figure out. Here's what I changed.
On the http AP interface I clicked Security, SSIA Manager, then I went down to Client Authentication Key Management and changed WPA to WPAv2.
I had the encryption set to WPA2 on two of the AP's but the third one is an older model and only can do WPA. Hopefully, I finally fixed this.

Aironet 1260 for LWAP?

Is Aironet 1260 good for indoor LWAP or CAPWAP environment? Do we need external antenna for the Aironet 1260 access point when using it indoor?

AIRONET 1260 with new radius cisco ACS 4.x

Hi, I have a new CISCO AIRONET 1260
I have CISCO ACS 5.1 radius for VPN on ASA and tried to configure an NDG on it for AIRONET 1260 too and worked fine with IEEE 802.1x CISCO EAP-FAST authentication
As I had some trouble to let users to authenticate only on VPN if are VPN users and only on CISCO AIRONET if need only WIFI AIRONET
I tried exception policies rules but something not working. VPN was ok but not WIFI access denied for rule policy access
I decided to install CISCO ACS 4.x on Windows 2003 that is on ACS 5 DVD
I created NDG as done on ACS 5 put a shared secret , put on AIRONET too as done for ACS 5 but I receive an error against ACS 4.x
To troubleshout it I tried
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk722/tk720/technologies_configuration_example09186a00807bf3c8.shtml
but not work ! I think to have done all fine owever on ACS 5 it worked in 5 minutes
I searched log inside ACS 4 and found "Invalid message authenticator in EAP request" and I found this:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-3991
Changed shared secret more times but ever not workign with ACS 4
what's wrong?
I need to have user and password prompt on client trying to authentincate on AIRONET WIFI and I need ACS INTERNAL USER no active directory, no LDAP , no external user database

I have solved

Aironet 1260 as bridges

Is it possible to create a wireless site to site link using 1260 access points as bridges (like the 1300 series)?
Also if so, can you use 11n channel bonding on the bridge link?
I need to link 2 buildings together wirelessly approximately 70 metres apart. There is direct line of sight between them.

Are you using autonomous APs? or controller-based APs?
Never tested but I don't think there will be any issue connecting them as a bridge eitherway with or without channel bonding.
It all depends on your antennas gain and type.
If you have directional antennas with LOS cleared it will be very good. It still depends on the antenna's gain however.
You may try them wi h1260 APs. I don't unfortunately have 1260 APs to test with.

Aironet 1260 and external Antenna

I know you can put a minimum of 3 AIR-ANT-2422 antenna on the 1261 AP but my question is, can you mix and match antenna?
Currently there is an AIR-ANT-24120 used on an older 1200 model. Upgrading to a 1261. The 24120 is 12db and 2422 is 2.4db.
Environment is Manufacturing floor with 30' ceilings, worried about coverage. Can the 24120 work on the 1261 or am I stuck with the 2422s?
Thanks

You can't mix-and-match these two. AIR-ANT-24120 is a 12 dBi antenna. The 1260 will not support anything higher than 6 dBi because this model simply doesn't have enough power to do so.
The 1260, 3500e and 3600e doesn't have enough power because in the past people kept complaining that the 1250 needed 20.0w PoE power. Now the the 1250 doesn't have any limitation about the maximum (maybe it does but I haven't seen or heard of it) gain support. So Cisco cranked down the power requirement of the new WAPs and balanced it to the antenna gain.

Configuration of cisco aironet 1260 series access point..??

i hv a cisco aironet 1262n access point and a normal router(without wlan) with a broadband connection
now i want to use my access point as a wifi hotspot
but i am not able to access it, through web browser
i dont know how i connect wires so that i am able to access " AP access page" and also i forgot its IP address too so can u pls tell me how do i reset it to default

Your AP is most likely loaded with a controller-based IOS. You can easily convert this to autonomous IOS.

Is working very good, but to administrative audit I need to get mac addresses that the dot11 interface has rejected or mac-add has attempted to connect to AP, how can I log that info?
REGARDS

Hi,
Not fully sure. but the logs of the AP should mention that at some logging level. If you direct your logs to a syslog server and try with unauthorized user to connect you will see how the message looks like and you can then filter on that.

Aironet 1252AG Weak Signal

I've an AIR-AP1252AG-A-K9 and three AIR-ANT5160V-R 5 ghz omnidirectional antennas. It's mounted on the roof of a 1,800 sq ft footprint, 3-story, wood-frame construction building. It's powered by a POE injector and reports Normal (Full Power).
It's a new installation, my first time working with this equipment, and I'm baffled. The 1252's broadcast range appears to be miniscule. Cisco assured me it would blast the building, suggesting I'd probably want to tone it down. I've worked my way through every configuration I could imagine might be relevant, and can't get a signal unless I'm standing on the roof within 20 feet of it. The slightest obstruction degrades the signal and it takes almost nothing to block it entirely. It's unusable outside of short-range line-of-sight.
To give an idea of what penetration is normally like here, there are already a dozen wifi routers of assorted small-beans ilk in the building. I get a strong signal anywhere from nearly all of them. Ironically, the point of the 1252 is to eliminate this ridiculous redundant mess, but it's being outperformed by the garbage it's intended to replace . I've a little NetGear in the approximate center of the structure which gives a decent signal in the basement parking garage, on the roof, at either end of the building, and across the street, but I can only connect to the Aironet if I stand on the roof and look at it.
What am I doing wrong? Have I bought the wrong equipment, or (preferably) am I just an idjit who's missing the obvious?
Thanks much,
Bryan

Somewhat confusingly, it doesn't appear in the "Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference Guide." I found it by accident, which makes me wonder what else I might be missing.
There have been numerous requests to get the documentations updated but so far, we've been un-successful, however, I do recommend you send a Feedback (located on the lower left-hand corner of the website). I'll try to escalate the matter on Monday. They also have a separate topic on this forum too so you can also help get this improved.
It's 3-in-1, so the AP1252AG-A-K9 with its three 5 ghz connections will support but one ANT5160NP-R.
That's correct. There are two "NP-R" series and the other is for the 2.4 Ghz. Each has three pig-tails and will work with the 1250/1260 and 3500i.
I've been unable to extract a bit of information from Cisco - their "local partner" won't return calls - the $ potential of this project is zilch, from their perspective. I've exhausted my usual list of Übergeeks without having a more productive interaction than I've had here with you. And finally, I note my own research has ceased churning out much in the way of new insights.
Some partners have been giving Cisco a very bad name. Particularly if your budget does not have the letters "m" or "b" in it (if you catch my drift). I hope that your area is served by more than one authorized Cisco reseller because that's what happened to us. Our old supplier slaps a hefty mark-up and were very rigid because we had a contract with them. When the contract expired, we had a "panel" and this helped us tremendously because other members of the panel were willing to bend-over-backwards to get us to purchase from them. The difference between the old supplier and the new "panel" was approximately AU$500 or more PER UNIT.
It's area of coverage is a more-or-less ellipsoid brain blob, with the antenna displaced ≈11% from center? (The azimuth and elevation patterns being very similar means a fairly consistent 3D shape, right? For example, if the patterns were all circular, the coverage area would be a sphere?) This sounds promising in terms of being able to point it downwards from the center of a roof.
I'd still install it in the ground-level. Only the "Yagi" and/or "dish" antennae are ideal for roof-mounted. The "NP-R" is good if you bolt it on the outside-walls and facing outwards. Don't expect to get this right the first time around. You'll need to test this before finally bolting it to the wall. You can test this by "hanging" the patch antennae and with a laptop move in and around the coverage area of your requirement. Depending on your environment this could take minutes to hours but it's the most sure-fire way of getting an accurate reading.
In that I'm unlikely to get hands-on, actual expert advice beyond what little I've gotten, I'm feeling like I'm at the "pick your best guess and try it" stage.
Y'know how I got myself with wireless? I am no techno-babble geek. I'm suppose to be a pencil pusher but raised my hand to know more about wireless (because I was ignorant about it). If you want to learn about something you need to take a first step. And this is exactly what you've done. You'll learn alot with this: Mistakes and right choices/decisions. But most importantly you know how easily to make mistakes but you'll also learn quickly from the mistakes you've made. I am unsure if anyone shares the same feeling but "mistakes" pushes my knowledge and understanding. And learning is an on-going process.

Aironet 1262 ap

olla! is the aironet 1262 access point a good choice for an environment of about 20 users. each users is in an office and we are looking at deploying the ap at the end of the hall on a wall mount. would distance be a barrier and are there any better options out there?

Describing the layout of the building, we have a long hall with about 5
offices on each side of the hall. Each office is a room and they are all
separated by walls. I read the 1260 is a rugged access point but considering
the other features i figured it was an advancement over the 1140. Area of
coverage was a huge issue for me considering the AP would be mounted at the
entrance to the hall and the walls and other factors would be an
interference.
Kindly suggest what a preferrable option would be.

WLC 5508 & Aironet 3502 questions CleanAir, AP modes, WCS

We currently have several 1230, 1240, & 1250 series LWAPPs in our environment being controlled by a 5508WLC. We are going to upgrade all of the access points in our environment to the 3502 access points. We are having a site survey performed to determine the best placement of the access points and where additional access points are needed. Is there anything else required to successfully run and mainatain CleanAir? Currently all of are access point are in local mode. Will there need to be a few dedicated monitor access points? Is there a certian ratio of monitor APs to local APs that should be followed? We've had to deploy a couple of our 3502 access points because the existing ones failed and I noticed that the WCS would not predict the RF heatmap of the 3502 access point. Is that something that will be addresses in a later version of the WCS software?
TIA

Hi Jason,

Aironet 3500 series range

Hi!
I've been trying forever to find the coverage range of the acceess points of the Aironet 3500 series. Would anyone happen to know?

Marky,
Like Leo mentioned, if it's an open area you know the approximate coverage. When you ask it's like a hospital wing or school wing, you can really determine that unless you actually place an ap in Like the corner room and see how far the signal covers. Also when you ask for a range, you need to determine what's your outer cell coverage going to be. For example, you might want coverage with a minimum of -75dBM and an SNR of -20dBm or it might be -65dBm and an SNR or -25dBm. All these requirements and the building construction determines how far an AP can cover. Building construction from new to old to very old buildings makes as big difference too. Your best way to determine that is to get an 3500i and put the 1260 IOS image an test for yourself. You might have to test various areas that differ to actually determine the coverage of an ap in an area.
Thanks,
Scott Fella

Android 4.1 tablet not connecting to Aironet 1140

Hello community, I am having an issue with my Android Tablet running 4.1 (Jelly Bean). It is able to the SSID, but when I try to connect - it stays connecting and then says saved, and never connects, as it does not pick up an IP address. I updated the firmware on the Aironet 1140 due to my Windows 8 pc's not connecting as well, it solved my Windows 8 problem, just not my Android Tablet problem. My Ipads do work. Just any android device I connect...
Anyone, ran into this issue that can assist?
Thanks in advance.

Hello William,
What is the security used on your wireless LAN?
Can you apply this command on your WLC CLI:
show wlan
and post us the output right here?

How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

Hi Brian,
If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
all Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
(WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
(WLC3) >save config
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command
