I think you are on Bridge colon Mode.And to recover from colon mode . We have to to following troubleshooting steps.
Before reloading the new firmware , first Bridge (1310) needed to be formated.But since you cannot telnet, to access Bridge you need to access it through console.On console you will see..
bridge:
Step 1.Type format flash: on the bridge and then hit enter
Step 2. Enter the set command to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway to the access point.
Note:-The system you are using must have tftp server recomended by
Cisco.
Also load the IOS file in the tftp server.Before step 3.
Step 3.Enter the tftp_init command to prepare the access point for TFTP
bridge: tftp_init
Step 4. Enter the tar command to load and inflate the new image from your TFTP server. The command must include this information:
the -xtract option, which inflates the image when it is loaded
the IP address of your TFTP server
the directory on the TFTP server that contains the image
the name of the image
the destination for the image (the access point Flash)

Trouble with Aironet 1300 series

I have a cisco aironet 1300 series and i need to reset it back to factory default. the directions say push the mode button while the access point is off and then turn it on while the mode button is down...
i don't see one button on this thing anywhere.
help needed

Hi Jim,
The 1310 bridge/injector do not have a mode button for configuration reset. However, you can reset the configuration if you use the console port on the injector:
1) Connect console port and power-cycle unit
2) When IOS starts loading, hit ESC key twice to get to the boot-loader prompt
3) At the boot-loader prompt show a directory of the flash filesystem (dir flash:)
4) Delete or rename the files "config.txt" and "env_vars", then boot the system ("delete flash:/config.txt" "delete flash:/env_vars")
(The default user/pass should be Cisco/Cisco)

Help with four Aironet 1300 with mountain in the middle

I am a novice at configuring Cisco equipment and need some pointers on what roles I would use to configure this site. The site consists of one main office, mountain top and one remote site. The main location with has a DSL connection, Server 2003 configured with DHCP, ip network 192.168.0.X and one Aironet 1300. The mountain top site has line of site to the main office and to the remote site. We have two Aironet 1300 on the mountain top site. At the remote site we have one Aironet 1300, network switch and a few pc?s. I think the Aironet at the main office needs to be the root bridge, but how should I configure the other Aironet?s? On the mountain site how would I connect the two Aironet?s together? Crossover cable? Also, I had a problem using telnet to configure the ip address on the Aironet?s at the mountain top site. I read the how to configure ip address when DHCP is disabled using HyperTerminal, but I can not get the access point to respond. At the remote site and main office I was able to configure the Aironet?s ip address to 192.168.0.180 and 192.168.0.185 and add a WEP key and a SSID. Basically the remote site needs access to the office site. Sorry for this being so long and thanks in advance. Casey

My advice is try them as two bridge connections (root and non-root). Have you tried this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008058f53e.shtml
About cable at the mountaintop, it depends on the distance between them.
For the IP config, just put an address on bvi 1:
int bvi 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut ( maybe ?)
exit
ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1 (if necessary)
That' it. Does it ping at all ? Are you trying from the ethernet connection ?

Need help on Aironet 1300 bridges

Greeting,
We have just upgraded two Aironet 1300 bridges (from cisco 350) on two buildings about 100 yards apart. They are only running as bridges. One is set up as root bridge and another one is setup as non-root bridge. Root bridge is in the main building direct connect to Cat 4506. For some reason the root bridge has some intermittant problem connect to the network. We are running the IOS 12.3(8). We changed the cable but the problem still occured. Everytime we have to reboot the root bridge in order to get it back. but all the interfaces in the root bridge show " up / up" prior to reload. The "show tech" looks fine on the root bridge. Any suggestion? Shall I change root bridge to workgroup bridge?
really appreciate for any helps,
Gene

Hi Steprodr,
I just need to clearify that the power injector is on the non-root bridge? I think the power are fine on both bridges when the problem occured. We used cisco 350 bridges before the upgrade. So the cable and port are still remain the same. The problem is more going towards from root bridge come back to Cat 4506 because both root and non root bridges can ping each other when the problem occured.
thanks,
Gene

Aironet 1300 wireless Bridges connection loss, help!

Hi,
We have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 wireless bridges with yaggi antennas.
The connection drops sometimes (every 2 or 3 days) and never comes up again.
When we reboot the non-root bridge the connection works again. We swapped the complete unit but still the same.
For logs see attached file.
What can be the problem? The antennas are not aligned correctly?
Thx in advance
greetings,
Marc

How long is the path and what were the results of the survey?
Were the connectors waterproofed?
Please describe the sytem from the bridge to the antenna including cable type, length, path, outdoors, indoors etc.

Cisco Aironet 1300 QoS

Hello, I have 2 Cisco Aironet 1300 Bridges which provide data and voice communication between 2 buildings. Up until recently QoS has not been needed, but lately there appears to be congestion due to reports of poor voice quality. Building A houses a V3000 NBX Telephone system, Building B houses approximately 30 remote IP phones. Building A and Building B are approximately 100 yards apart. No VLAN's. Due to myself being an extreme noob to Cisco bridges, I was hoping some of you may have had experience in setting this up and hopefully provide some tips. I need to prioritize traffic on UDP ports 2093-2096 and TCP port 1040. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. My current running config is below:

Aironet 1300 as AP

Hey all,
I have recently been given the opportunity to provide a wireless network solution to a 3 adjacent condos. As condos at a beach go, they are composed of 99% concrete and glass. My ability to run cable is extremely limited as every cubic centimter of each suite is privately owned and there are no interior hallways, janitors closets, or otherwise air conditioned public access locations. My initial instinct was to utilize the Aironet 1300 given it's durable characterisics and the harshness of the potential environment (think blazing sun and hurricanes). The configuration could be with one root and many non-root access points. Does this sound reasonable? Are there caveats that I should be aware of (this is my first time with cisco hardware). Second I have been fortunate enough to acquire two 1300 series bridge/AP units for testing. I have utilized the CLI interface to reset them to what I belive is the "factory default" settings. Then I used the web GUI to make one 1300 a root and the other 1300 a non-root where both are set to use WEP and accept clients. I am concerned that I may have misconfigued something as the coverage of these Aironet 1300's barely reaches 50 feet in any direction where as my $50 Netgear router with AP reaches a good 250 feet in any given direction. Something seem wrong here. I've tried differnet channels with no appreciable improvment in performance. I've tried a generic 802.11B client card and the Cisco CB21AG-a-k9 client card. I've tried one AP (no bridge) and two AP with a bridge between the two. I still get consistently poor results. I'm not new to wireless networking, but I am completely new to Cisco products. Any ideas would be greatly apprediated.

I have alot of experience with cisco and with cisco think inside the box and with the 1200 -1300 look at you antennas. We did a few hotels in Atlanta and every other room was made out of a speacial fire material. In short the effect was in the halls signal str was around 40-50 for 400 to 500 feet when we put the ap in the stairwell signal was only good for one room over i would say roughly 10 feet (in a different enviroment they worked great. I would say take it outside and see what result you get then look into the antenna u say you have 2 for test i assume it is the cisco test units but still you might want to look into antennas to meet you penitration needs. maybe a mix of valuepoint 15 or 18 dbi rugged antenna line and the cisco I have had great penitration with that mix, and they only run like $100. hope that helps. Pardon my spelling speed was factor here on another mission.

Image Recovery for Cisco Aironet 1300 Outdoor Access Point

We purchased two 1300 APs for outside. There is a new release for the image that we wanted to use so, we have the latest security updates. We downloaded, logged onto the access point just fine, but the image never took. After four hours with a direct connection, it was still going and this morning we came in and it just keep rebooting. Our network guy states it looks like a corrupt image. We can barely do anything and since there is no "mode" button like the earlier models, I have not found anything on web sites or forums to help us reload a good image to the access point. I would appreciate any insight someone has and/or where to look for this. I logged on and downloaded about every manual on the 1300 I could find, but have not found a good way to fix this. Not even the upgrade tool will connect since it just keeps rebooting.

Hi Bruce,
Because (as you correctly noted) the 1300 does not have a mode button you could try this method;
Complete the steps in this section in order to reset Cisco IOS Software-based bridges:
If the privileged command prompt ap# is available in the CLI, the write erase command and the reload command erase the startup configuration and reset the unit.
If the GUI is available, choose System Software > System Configuration. Press the Reset to Defaults button.
Aironet 1300 Series Bridges do not have a MODE button to reset the AP to factory defaults. So, if neither the GUI or CLI is available with sufficient privileges, complete these steps to delete the current configuration and return the entire bridge settings to the factory defaults using the CLI.
Open the CLI with a Telnet session or a connection to the bridge console port.
Reboot the bridge by removing and reapplying power.
Allow the bridge to boot until the command prompt appears and the bridge begins to inflate the image.
Press ESC when you see lines that are similar to these on the CLI:
Loading "flash:/c1310-k9kw-7mx.v122_15_ja.200040314-k9w7-mx.v122_15_ja.20040314"
...#############################################################################Note: In order to access the boot loader, you must press ESC twice. But this action depends on the terminal-emulation software that you use.

After the bridge reboots, reconfigure the bridge with the web browser interface, the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS Software commands.
Note: The bridge is configured with the factory default values that include:
The IP address, which is set to receive an IP address with DHCP. If you do not have a DHCP server, you can access the bridge using the default IP address of 10.0.0.1 using HTTP/HTTPS or Telnet. Once you gain access to the bridge via Telnet or GUI, you can modify the IP address of the bridge.
Note: This default IP address of 10.0.0.1 becomes available only for a short period. So, make sure that you assign your own IP address to the bridge within that period of time.
The default username and password, "Cisco".

One other thing, be careful with the new IOS that you aren't loading a LWAPP Recovery Image. (it almost sounds like what may have happened)
Hope this helps!

Gaining Internet access through an Aironet 1300

I set up wireless networks in feedyards using the Aironet 1300 as a Work Group Bridge. Typically the bridge is setup out in the middle of the feedyard to broadcast an SSID, with an Omni Directional antenna. We mount a patch antenna on the office and have it connect to the SSID using a Buffalo Ethernet converter. My question is, if the office has internet, how can I get the internet out in the feedyard. Yes the computers on the office network do have internet and can communicate with the pc's out in the feedyard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
if we are using 1300 WGB and we have same SSID on the "root" side i.e. your office, then users connected to this WGB should be able to access internet. Are we using same SSID on both sides for internet access? Are we using any VLAN? Is there any security setting we are using on WGB or on our root AP?

Building to building Bridge link using Aironet 1300's

We have a requirement to link two adjacent buildings that are about 20-metres apart over a public road. I need some advice on what the best solution will be.
Initial thoughts are a pair of Aironet 1300's configured as Wireless Bridges but the antenna type and where to mount them is confusing me. Will the internal patch antennas be enough for this or will we need external antennas? If so what type - directional or? Do the AP's need to be mounted externally or can we simply mount them internally facing each other through windows? What do we need to be aware of regards signal overlaps and interference etc?
What looked like a simple setup seems to have opened a can of worms....
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
The 20m distance is quite short.
In this case, as recommended by Cisco*, for AP1300 series, you can use the AIR-ANT2410Y-R antenna. This directional antenna can be used/installed indoor or outdoor.
Approximate Indoor Range at 6 Mbps : 548 ft (167 m)
Approximate Indoor Range at 54 Mbps: 165 ft (50 m)
*http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_data_sheet09186a008022198b.html
Look under 'Table 4. Antennas for the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge with RP-TNC Type Connector'.
Both AP1300 and the antenna can be installed indoor. You need to wall-mount the antenna facing each other from each building.
Since the distance is only 20m, you can play around with the transit power to control the signal distance.
As for overlapping channel & probability of interference, do a simple site survey (can use freeware NetStumbler) and make sure your antenna does not mounted near equipment like microwave, or any equipment that produced high frequency noise.
Hope this helps.

AK

Secure Wireless Site to Site Bridge - Aironet 1300 or 1252?

Hi there,
We're planning to connect a building no more than 50m away to our network via wireless (after careful research. The builing will only house 2 people, one requiring just internet and email access for ordering materials, the other will be doing document scanning - currently scanning files of roughly 15Mb every 3-5 minutes to an SQL server in the main building. They will also need to retrieve similarly sized files from said server within the same timescale. The solution would need to offer WPA2 security and a hidden SSID.
I have been pointed in the direction of the Aironet 1100 which now appears to be discontinued, so the Aironet 1300 was suggested instead. Will this 54g device be sufficient for the activities above and if so, I guess I will just need to configure each unit as a bridge (1 per building?)
I have also been looking into N type devices and found the Aironet 1252 but I believe that this is an internal device? I have the facility to locate it by a window/ very close to the outside of the building on both sites but not sure if this would be cost effective. Am I right in thinking the 1252 would require me to purchase additional antenna to go with it? If so, what type would be suitable as there are several listed on the site.
Finally. I'd like the solution we go with to be expandable (if it allows) as another building within the same area is also being looked at and would benefit from having a similar connection to it. Whether the bridging would allow for this, or another 2 units would need to be purchased is something I am unsure of.
I'd really appreciate some feedback from someone with experience of both units or experience in setting up a similar configuration as I am quite new to this side of wireless
I have included a basic Visio diagram of my proposed configuration; I hope it is of some use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the 1310 will offer sufficient throughput. But if you add buildings, maybe you will start reaching the limit ...
The problem with the 1250 is that it's not meant to go outdoor as it is, apart from that it's perfect for the job.
The type of antennas strongly depend on the location of the building.
If the 3 buildings are in a line with the main building in the center, you will need an omnidirectional antenna. The point is that your bridges should all hear each other, so their coverage zone should include all other bridges. Then it's possible to have one AP at each site, the main site AP being "root" and the other being "non-root". If too hard, you could also go with 2 APs at the central site and then you can go with directionnal antenna toward each building.
And the 1310 can come either with an internal antenna that is very directionnal or with external antennas connector. The 1250 is always for external antennas.
Note also that the 1250 requires a bit more power than normal PoE allows.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Nicolas

Security on Aironet 1300 bridges

I am a newbie on this fourm. I required your suggestions and recommendations. I have aironet 1300 bridges. I want to connect them in point to multipoint envt.
I want to have one root bridge and rest as non root bridges. But i want to implement authentication of non-root bridges through root bridge. Please suggest what is the latest and strongest authentication and security protocols that i can use. Please i am looking for an early response.

EAP Authentication type provides the highest level of security for your wireless network. By using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, the root access point/bridge helps another access point/bridge and the RADIUS server to perform mutual authentication and derive a dynamic unicast WEP key. The RADIUS server sends the WEP key to the root access point/bridge, which uses it for all unicast data signals that it sends to or receives from the non-root access point/bridge. The root access point/bridge also encrypts its broadcast WEP key (entered in the access point/bridge's WEP key slot 1) with the non-root access point/bridge's unicast key and sends it to the non-root access point/bridge.

Cisco Aironet 1300 series

Hello,
i have 2 cisco aironet 1300 series configured as root bridge and non root bridge, i managed to configure them and they are associating only when they adjacent , when i separate them them communication fail , could you please help me to solve this . thx

Those are very old bridges. So if they are still functioning okay, do they require external antennas or not and do you have external antennas if they do?
Antenna Interface
• AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-LAP1310G-x-K9: Air interface (integrated directional antenna)
• AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R or AIR-LAP1310G-x-K9R: Two RP-TNC type connectors for external antennas

Aironet 1300

Hi,
Does the Aironet 1300 series works as repeater ? And does it works both as bridge and access point at the same time ?
Thank you

Hi Jorge,
Operating Roles for the Autonomous Access Point/Bridge
The autonomous access point/bridge unit can be configured into one of seven operating roles
Root Bridge Specifies that the unit is operating as a root bridge and that it connects directly to the main Ethernet LAN network. In this mode, the unit accepts associations from other Cisco Aironet bridges and wireless client devices.
Non-Root Bridge Specifies that the unit is operating as a non-root bridge, that it connects to a remote LAN network, and that it must associate with a Cisco Aironet root bridge using the wireless interface.
Root Bridge with Wireless Clients Specifies that the unit is operating as a root bridge and accepts wireless client associations.
Non-Root Bridge with Wireless Clients Specifies that the unit is operating as a non-root bridge and accepts wireless client associations.
Access Point Specifies that the unit operates as an access point connected to the main Ethernet LAN network. In this mode, wireless client devices are allowed to associate to the unit.
Repeater Specifies that the unit is operating as a repeater (also called repeater non-root) that is not connected to the wired LAN and supports wireless clients.
Workgroup Bridge Specifies that the unit operates as a workgroup bridge connected to a small wired Ethernet LAN network through an Ethernet hub or switch. The workgroup bridge must associate to a Cisco Aironet access point or a Cisco Aironet bridge.
