Cisco Aironet 702 - Transmitter Power: error

hi,
I have problem with setup Cisco Aironet 702. I set all properties. Interfaces gigaEthernet and Radio0 are UP. I don't see my SSID in network. On properties for Radio0 I see error in section Transmitter Power. How can I troubleshooting this issue?
Here I uploaded screens from configuration pages

Aironet 1600 Transmitter power: error

Under the 2.4ghz status I see:
Transmitter Power
error
Which i believe is the culprit for weak wireless and also choppy connection to AP.
attached is config
Also I'm using cisco power injector which says its non-cisco which it is!!
Help guys no one in cisco has answer they just send me to different people and now I'm HERE!!
John!

Along with CDP you should also set the power inline. Is the power injector the one listed here?
Powering Options
? 802.3af Ethernet Switch
? Cisco AP1600 Power Injectors (AIR-PWRINJ4=, AIR-PWRINJ5=)
? Cisco AP1600 Local Power Supply (AIR-PWR-B=)
Caution When using the power inline negotiation injector override command, a power injector must always be installed to prevent a possible overload condition with an underpowered power source.

CIsco AIR-SAP1602E - transmitter power error

Hi,
Because of end-of-life of the wireless AP 1140 series, we decided to switch to the 1600 series.
We have now several AIR-SAP-1602E devices which show the same behaviour:
On the web interface, there is an error indicated for the transmitter power (see screenshot attached).
Question: Is this a known issue (bug in the interface?,...) or is there actually something wrong.
Output power is measured to be about 3db lower than compared with the 1142.
Attached are the supported dual band Cisco Antenna's.
Regards,
Dimitri Hofman

Hello,
As per your query i can suggest you the following data sheet-

I would make a few changes also. Remove TKIP from the encryption. If you use WPA2 then you should match that up with AES. If you were to use WPA then you use TKIP. Also I would remove the antenna gain from each of the radios
Example:
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid TOM2
no antenna gain 4

Aironet 1310 Transmitter Power??

I have approx 20 Cisco Aironet 1300 AP's that I use as Bridges to connect Various wide-spread, non-adjoining offices together. I do not have any problems as such, but obviously, some of the connections are stronger/faster than others due to various factors. But 1 thing I have noticed is that some of the AP's radios are rated (Transmitter Power CCK/OFDM) at 50mw and some at 20mw, and generally the 50mw AP's link seems to be faster. Therefore I have tried my best to upgrade the 20mw to 50mw - matching the radio settings, upgrading the IOS - but it doesn't change. All the AP's were purchased at roughly the same time and from the same vendor.
I have tried a few IOS's, but most of the AP's have 12.4.3g.
Can anyone explain this and/or help me upgrade to 50mw if it is possible.

Here is the URL which will help you for the configuration setting about the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series follow the configuration guide which will help you :

Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Power

Can the 1310ap receive it's power from a POE switch?

Hi Edward,
Sadly the 1310 cannot be powered by PoE ,but, the Power Injector can be up to 100 meters away from the unit.
Dual coaxial cable to run from the power injector to the 1300. See attached notes:
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Hardware Installation Guide
Ethernet Ports
The access point/bridge dual-coax Ethernet ports consists of a pair of 75-ohm F-type connectors, linking the unit to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the power injector. The dual-coax cables are used to send and receive Ethernet data and to supply inline 48-VDC power from the power injector to the access point/bridge.
Power
The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called the power injector). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface to the access point/bridge.
AIR-PWRINJ-BLR2
F-Type Connectors
Dual coaxial cable carries full-duplex Ethernet, DC power, and full-duplex console port (RS-232 connection)

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""

Who is aware - please describe or give me a link on this, how the two devises eth1 and wifi0 are connected to each other and how to set them up in Arch.
Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

Cisco aironet 1510 AG

Hi everybody.
I was reading about cisco aironet 1510 AG and found it has two N series connector for antenna.
Cisco Aironet 1510AG
Expansion / Connectivity
Interfaces
1 x network / power - Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX ¦ 2 x antenna - N-Series connector
1) we have two N series connector for antenna why do we need two antenna?
thanks and have a great weekend.

Hi,
Two Antennas are used for diversity. Because there are too many factors that may affect the RF signal (Refraction, reflection, etc), the signal will follow different pathes to reach the destination (called multipath). Having two antennas to send/receive will make the receiver hear two signals (or more). If one of the signals is malformed then error correction will be better this way. This will make it faster than requesting the re-transmit again from the sources.
802.11n access poins usually have 3 Antennas for each radios because they use MIMO.
Also, this link will give you better information about Diversity and Multipath distortion:

Cisco Aironet 1510

On the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point spec sheet from the Cisco.com website, it states that the input power for the DC inline POE is 28.5 W at 48 VDC, nominal. What is the maximum power at 48 VDC? On AC, the nominal power is 57.8W at 120 VAC. What is the maximum power at 120 VAC?
Also, I see that the Cisco 1510 only uses AC as a source. Does Cisco have a device for the Cisco Aironet 1510 that uses DC as a source? For example, instead of using the POE Injector that Cisco has, which uses an input of 120VAC (1.5A) and outputs 48VDC (1.2A), does Cisco have a POE Injector that uses an input of 12VDC and outputs 48VDC (1.2A).

I think the maximum draw (with both radios and heater on) is 57.8 Watts, but with the heater not active it's much lower around 36.84 Watts.

Hello,
I want to control client associations when AP load is high.
Is there an MIB object that enables/disables client associations?
I have searched the supported MIBS, but i could not find anything.

An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Here is the URL which indicate indicates the maximum power levels allowed with the Cisco integrated antenna for each regulatory domain and also contain configuration setting.

Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP

I am trying to get Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server to work with a Cisco Aironet 1040 Wireless AP. I have installed the RADIUS server by MS standards and performed some searches on Google to configure the Cisco Aironet. I see others using a Wireless LAN Controller, which I do not have. I found this post below:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11546056/wlc-2504-radius-2008-r2-server
But I have yet to locate a good step by step document on how to set it up and I have found so many different ways that others have set it up, but none have yet to work. I am having authentication issues that I have know of and I do not see any errors in the Windows Event Viewer and I do not know where the Acess Point stores it logs for any sort of error. Keep in mind this is the first time I am doing this. I do not have a Wireless LAN Controller and all my network / domain services are on individually built servers and not on one single server as I have seen with most of the documentation they all say the same thing by putting the Certificate Services, Domain Services (AD / ADS, etc), and NPS. I do not want that configuration and my setup should not be any different, but something is not right. I know from reading that this is not rocket science, but from someone who has never done it before this is difficult as I keep reading on and so many people do it different ways including what I have been reading according to what Cisco says to configure in the environment. Does anyone know where I can find good step by step documentation along with where I can look for logs on either device? I find that all the documentation I see on Cisco's website and from searching that it is old and outdated and not been updated in a long time so it is hard to determine what works and what does not work. I am stumped here and have been doing this for several weeks now with no luck. Thank you in advance.

I did configure the Server 2008 R2 RADIUS Server using this video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-0MM_tK-Tk
I also referenced Technet to make sure it was configured correctly as well. I am still not sure if I am 100% setup correctly on the Windows Server side, but I for sure want to make sure I have the AP side setup correctly. Do you know of a better article for the Windows Server 2008 R2 setup? Does it matter that I do not have all the services installed on the same server? Instead I have them installed on multiple servers.
I have image number c1140-k9w7-tar.124.25d.JA1 on the AP. The part that confused me in that article, which I have seen before was the part about "Setting up access point must be configured in the authentication server as an AAA client." What is the AAA Client? I also am not aware of having Cisco Secure ACS anywhere built into the AP as that part through me off completely. Do I need to skip these steps? Thank you for help on this.

Cisco Aironet 1130AG WPA2 Configuration

Hi everyone,
First of all, let me introduice myself. I just graduated as an IT-engineer and started working in a company who gives support to their users, but also does installations. One day a week I am permanent located with 1 customer. I give support to users, but also implement new systems. I really love networking, but it's really not my strongest point. Especcialy when it comes to CLI. So I was hoping you could help me.
With this customer they have 4 floors with on each floor a Cisco Aironet 1130AG. At the moment they are using WEP as a protection with a really long key. The users find this annoying, but I am more concerned about the security perspective. So I want to implement WPA2 with a shorter key for the people to remember. On one floor, I also want to add a public network when other people want to connect and just need internet access.
Is it possible you guys could help me change the current set-up and give advices regarding the security and implementation. For me I would be great if all of the Access Points could work togheter and just be 1 wireless network. I don't know if this is possible and how to do it? For the public network I know there also need to be some changes in VLAN's, so I would appreciate the help there for setting up trunks. The firewall is a cisco ASA5505.
At the moment I am running this configuration:
I tried setting up this with the GUI, but it doesn't look like the configuration at the moment is shown in the GUI or maybe I am just looking in the wrong places.
Thanks again for helping me configure this!! Much appreciated!

Configuration of a Point to MultiPoint link with Cisco Aironet 1310 bridges

Hi All,
The previous problem of which I started another conversation here:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=General&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddba023
somehow dissapeared. It could have been a problem of interferences.
I have another issue with other (multipoint) wireless WAN link, which I hope has a solution.
On the central node, we have an Cisco Aironet 1310 bridge configured as root-bridge. It has a panel of four vertical polarity 17 dBi panel 90? antennas, with more than enough gain (there is a 250 mWatts 802.11 b/g amplifier, before the 4-way splitter) and excellent line of sight to three remote bridges.
The three (03) remote bridges are also Aironet 1310 models, confidured as non-root-bridges.
The problem we have is that it seems that when the three remote links operate concurrently the amount of lost packets is huge. When I shutdown the radio interfaces of two bridges, the remaining bridge makes an excellent link with the central node.
It seems that some hours are more critical than others, also the links operate much worse when there is some (small) network traffic in them.
I have read the 1310 manuals, and I can't find a sample configuration for point to multi-point links.
Does someone knows what radio interface configuration should I need to use to establish better quality communication?
I mean, perhaps the 1 x root - 3 x no root configuration is not recommendable for the multipoint link configuration.
Any hints will be welcome.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Hi All,
Thank you for the information. I configured the distance on the root bridges, but the links showed instability.
I'm using a bi-directional amplifier. It has two pieces. According to the manuals, one is installed indoors, the other outdoors. I'm not sure if the indoors piece has the transmition module or it's only the injector.
We could establish connection at 7 km (around 4 milles) distance from the central point, using 24 dBi antennas on the other side.
However, we have issues with a near located point that is only 1.2 Km (around 0.8 milles) away and has a 13 dBi integrated patch antenna. The signal strenght value we get there is in the -62 to -68 dBm range, and is noticiably (5-10 dBm) lower than the strenght we get at other points of the link. And I have trouble establishing a high quality link with that point, using OFDM modulation. I tend to think that if I remove the amplifier I'm not going to reach that point at all. The EIRP on the central iste is 34 dBm / 2.5 watts, without amplifier it would be 26 dBm / 0.4 watts.
On the opposite sites the EIRP is 33 dBm / 2 watts using CCK or 28 dBm / 0.63 watts using OFDM.
When one looks at the central site from that point, an Motorola Canopy with passive reflector (EIRP 48 dBm or around 64 watts) can be seen. It doesn't have the same direction, but the opposite site must be large distance and could interfere with my wireless network. Attached is an amplified photo of the view. It's safe to assume that the Canopy operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
Once I connect the point at 1.2 Km, the multipoint link loses its quality, and soon the lost packets get too frequent.
The CCK seems to be much more interfered than OFDM, I guess because of that canopies.
Another thing I'm wondering about is if the Aironet 1310 can continuosly switch CCK-OFDM over the same point - multipoint link, without losing packets.
What other parameters should I tweak? Is there a way to avoid interferences fromt the canopy?
I would like to apply 100 mWatts local power using the radio with OFDM, but it seems that's not possible.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.
