Is it possible to migrate an access point between regulatory domains?

I see appendices full of channel usage and power maximums, but nothing that states clearly wether or not it is possible to simply reconfigure a lightweight access point deployed in one regulatory domain so that it can be used in another?
Example - have an 1142 access point in Japan and would like to repurpose it for use in London.  Do I need to buy a new access point or can I reconfigure the Japan AP for use in London via software.
Thanks!

Hello,
for the regulatory domain it is hardcoded in the AP itself.
so for AP to be used in london , you need to purchase a -E AP.
now you still can connect the -J in london , and join it to WLC  with Japan country code, but that would be breach for the eroupean regulations and allowed frequencies...
the only migration you can perform in AP is between Japanese codes ( that allow different frequency ranges).

  • Migrating access points between controllers on different software levels

    I need to migrate lightweight access points from one pair of controllers (WS2750Gs running 4.2.112.0 software) to a new pair (5508s running 7.0.116.0). I see that upgrading the controllers would require an intermediate step so I am wondering if there is any potential issues in migrating the LWAPPs from one controller to the other? I also need to develop a backout plan so I also need to understand any impact if I were to back out the change.  

    Ok good. If you had 1000 series or older 1220B you would have to swap them out.
    1. Make sure you have the country codes marked on the new WLCs to support your mix of aps
    2. As you push the APs to the new controller there will be an upgrade and reboot so the APs will go off line
    3. Make sure after the upgrade you remove the older WLCs or upgrade it to the new code as well. You dont want mixed code controllers
    4. I would test a section on the new WLC to make sure your security and other settings are good
    5. RRM is much imrpoved from 4.2 to 7.x. Just something to consider. If you are using RRM and you have holes where you didnt before
    6. make sure you turn off client load balance
    As for a backout plan. You can always push the clients back to the old WLC in case there is issues.
    just my 2 pennys ... and good luck to you !

  • WAP4410N Access Point wall-mountable?

    Hello everybody,
    I have a little question regarding the WAP4410N access point.
    Is it possible to mount this access point at a wall or a ceiling?
    Are there any little "holes" at the back of the access point for mounting?
    Or is there a "mounting-bracket" for this access point?
    I've already read the data sheets and documentation for this ap, but found nothing.
    Many thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Kevin

    Hi Walter,
    Yes ...it can be wall mounted

  • Replace Access Points...

    Hi there!
    I'm looking for your recommendation about some network products to be replaced within a current network to share an internet connection.
    We have the following connection based in the services provided by our local telephone company, the connection arrives to a router Cisco 800 series. From the router, i send it connection to a switch SRW2024 v1.2 (Business series) 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with webview. That switch is useful to send connection via RJ45 for a few of PCs. Then, I send connection to a switch SRW2008P (Business series) 8-port 10/100/1000 Gigabits with vieweb and power over ethernet. The last switch, send the signal via RJ45 to seven WAP2000 (business series) Wireless-G AP with PoE.
    That network is running fine, but I've some problems to cover some areas within the building and sometimes the signal is really poor. The cable RJ45 between the PoE switch and each AP is no longer than 50 meters and each one with antennes about 8 or 9 Db.
    So, now I've the possibility to change the access point for a power devices. That way, can you, please advise me about my current network and whic kind of AP may exceed the power of the current ones?
    Thank you!

    the connection arrives to a router Cisco 800 series.
    What exact model of the 800 router and what is your ISP bandwidth.
    please advise me about my current network and whic kind of AP may exceed the power of the current ones?
    Wireless is one area where you DO NOT want to get whereby you may/can exceed the power.  IF you have an AP with too much transmit power, the client can hear you. HOWEVER, the client does not have enough power to send the data back to the AP.
    So if you want to get an AP with strong antenna, you have to match and mate this with a client that can push back the same or higher transmission power or your data will get lost.
    The latest enterprise-class AP are the 700, 1600, 2600 and 3600.  You can start by looking here. 

  • Back-up via another access point

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to use another access point to back up from, rather than connecting directly to the time capsule, we have 3 access point routers in our house (all connected to 1 network), to provide adequate signal.
    So can the back-up be made for example by an upstairs router with the time capsule located downstairs (all connected to the same network)?
    If this was possible can the routers be any brand or would they have to be airport by apple?
    Thanks

    Sure, if you want to replace your TC with another router, it can still function as a client on your network and perform Time Machine backups.
    I advocate using all Apple products though, because it eliminates any uncertainty with third party devices not cooperating with one another. Sourcing all your routers and access points from Apple will guarantee success.

  • SSH Version Supported by Access Points

    Hi,
    I'm hoping this is an easy question...so apologies if it appears facile, but I can't find a definitive answer in any Cisco docs I've looked through.
    When access points are used with a WLC, its possible to allow the access points to accept SSH connections (Under the advanced tab of the AP config).
    My question is this: which version of SSH will be used when SSH sessions are created to the AP? (SSH v2?)
    All of the data sheets etc. talk about SSH support, but give now version details.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nigel.

    Hi Nigel,
    Scott is right (as usual )
    Just to confirm, I accessed a CAPWAP AP and looked at the #sh derived-config and this was the only SSH output shown, with SSH enabled on the AP:
    ip ssh version 2
    So, it looks like only SSH2 is allowed. Just to let you know the code ver was 7.0.116.0

  • Access point connection to WLC

    Hi all,
    I wanted to know that in Cisco wireless or in general, is it possible to connect lightweigt access point with controller without any wired connection ? or a ethernet connection between an AP and WLC is mandatory ???

    What can't you find?
    Reference to the Wireless LAN Controller not having a Wireless NIC? The documents won't list everything the product doesn't come with, it lists what it does come with.
    This guide is helpful:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED.pdf
    It doesn't state that the Access Points can communicate with the WLC Wirelessly because they can't.

  • PPPoE on Cisco Access Point

    Hi, Im looking for possibility to configure Cisco Access Points for PPPoE and VPDN anybody knows pls reply to [email protected] tks

    I think it is possible to configure AP to fucntion over PPPOE. But since AP is just a layer2 device, we also need a layer 3 device like router to support PPPOE. Without layer 3 device, it is not possible.

  • Using several UMTS access points (APN) for different services

    Hello,
    I wonder if it is possible to use several UMTS access points (APN) for different services.
    situation:
    1) The iPhone is used for business AND private purposes.
    2) The company's mobile telephone contract includes a APN, which is only usable by the employees' mobile phones.
    problem / question:
    Is it possible to define two access points in the iPhone, that for example the exchange account uses the company's APN, while all the other apps use the standard APN of the carrier?
    Problem is, that some iPhone's benefits like Push-Messages are blocked by the carrier's APN. Now, I have to switch the access point by installing the appropriate profile every time I want to check my e-mails or vice versa for using "normal" apps.
    I hope you can hep me.

    Thanks for your help! This really helps a lot! We actually only want to replace the autonmous access point with the controller solution and make one WLAN available at another site. From what I can see, this is possible with our current solution - we just need to switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3 and purchase the corresponding amount of supported Access Points (I think we should be able to get some refurbished ones).
    Am I correct in assuming that the Access Points we want to replace (AIR-AP1230B-E-K9 with 802.11b radio only) cannot be upgraded to lightweight ones? Since if I understood document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html correctly, this is not possible with access points that only have 802.11b radios.
    Regarding the switch from Layer 2 to Layer 3: Do we really only need to perform the steps I described in my first post?
    And one last question regarding REAP. As far as I understood this is only needed when local traffic needs to be maintained in case the connection to the WLC becomes unavailable. So we really don't need it if we want to access resources that are only available over the WLC?
    Thanks again for your help!

  • HP photosmart 7520 connects to wrong access point and looses connection

    I recently installed a remote wireless access point in an outbuilding.  I'm using a router with the same SSID and password as my main router with the same security settings.  Only the main router is set to issue IP addresses.  The system works fine with two laptops, a desktop, an Ipad and an Ipod.  It provides continuous connections from my house to the outbuilding.  Only the HP Photosmart seems to be an issue.  At first the system worked fine then after a couple of days it lost its connection.  I tried to the Wireless Setup Wizzard with no success.  The Wireless Network Test results indicated that MAC address filtering may be enabled.  This is not the case, MAC filtering in not enabled on either router.  The next morning the printer was fine and connected again.  I suspect that it is detecting the remote router and trying to connect through it.  During the setup a warning came up indicating that two routers were detected with the same SSID and Password and that the printer might try to connect to the wrong router.  It should not matter since the remote router connects and is issued IP addresses through the main router.  The only difference in the routers is the BSSID.  This uses the same number as the  MAC filtering address, so I suspect this may be the problem.  Any suggestions on a work around.  The only thing I have found that solves the problem is turning off the remote router.

    Hello there -
    Is it possible your new remote access point only supports the 5Ghz band for N connection, or that it's connected to your primary router through a wireless N connection in the 5Ghz band?  The 7520 only supports 2.4Ghz N connections.  If your primary access point supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, that is likely why it's able to connect there while it cannot connect to the new access point.  Many newer laptops and iPad/pods utilize 5Ghz N, which would explain why they can connect and your 7520 cannot.  I'd recommend moving the 7520 closer to the primary router and using AirPrint to send your jobs.

  • PPPoE and VPDN config. in Cisco Access Points

    Hi, Im looking for possibility to configure Cisco Access Points for PPPoE and VPDN anybody knows pls reply to [email protected] tks

    I can only comment on the wireless voice side. Phones will be setting the Qos (Cos and ip precedence) you will need all the devices in the network to understand these QoS and act apropiately, prioritizing voice over other data.
    If you can't guaratee that all devices that the voice will cross will maintain those Cos/dscp settings and will prioritize the voice, you can't guarantee how the voice quality would be.

  • Infrastructure access point unreachable for management, but is passing traffic.

    We have 2 aironet 1310 aps setup as infrastructure access points between 2 buildings.  One went south on us & we placed it.  Before the bad one went down, we were able to manage both remotely & could see them from the next device via CDP.  Now, we can't connect or even ping either AP.  And the weird part is that the switches that connected to each can see each other via CDP, but not the access points between them.  I'm attaching the configuration.  Before I make the 2.5 hour drive back to the site, does anyone have an idea on what I may have misconfigured on either or both access points?

  • Managing "Access Levels" on a domain level from Lync 2010 client

    Hello,
    Our company moved from Office Communicator 2007 R2 clients to Lync 2010 clients.
    Previously in Office Communicator 2007 R2 client, it was possible to set default Access Levels for complete domains (instead of individual users only), using the Access Level Management view.
    In the Lync 2010 this options seems to be missing. The management options per user are still there (by right-clicking a user), but the access to manage it for a domain is no longer visible.
    Is there any way to manage Access Levels for domains, in a similar way we had in Communicator 2007? It appears that Lync 2010 stilluses the Access Levels set previously for domains, but users do no longer have any possibility to make further updates,
    and are stuck (from their perspective at least) with the settings made in 2007 before.
    Thanks.

    Lync 2010 doesn’t have the feature natively.
    With Lync Server 2010, by default, the contacts from federated domains are added as External Contacts.

  • 2003 to 2008 R2 file cluster migration - shares fail to migrate due to missing client access point

    Hello,
    I need to migrate my 2003 cluster to 2008 R2, but am having difficulty doing so. I have a 2003 2 node disk and node majority cluster which has 3 groups (2 individual file shares) and a separate group for the quorum.
    I'm trying to migrate my 2003 groups to a 2 node 2008 r2 cluster.
    I've ran through the cluster migration wizard as
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff182337(v=ws.10).aspx), the disk resources within my group migrate, but the file shares don't.
    In summary:
    - I ran the 2008 r2 cluster run migration wizard and connected to my 2003 cluster
    - Once the wizard completes, I left the the newly migrated group on the 2008 r2 cluster offline
    - Took the appropriate file share and disk resource group offline on 2003
    - Ensured the iSCSI disks for my migrated data are showing correctly on the 2008 R2 node (I'm using the same drive letter which my 2003 node used for the moved disk)
    - I then brough the resources online. Resources fail to come online as client access point is missing, so I add a new access point (http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/24/using-multiple-client-access-points-cap-in-a-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-cluster.aspx)
    - Restart my 2008 r2 cluster node
    - File share is missing! The file share has not been imported
    I then tried the registry key export and import:
    - On my 2003 active cluster node I export HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
    - I take the appropriate cluster resource and disk offline on my 2003 node
    - Attach the disk to my 2008 R2 cluster node
    - Added the new disk as a cluster resource (again keeping the same drive letter)
    - Merged the 2003 registry key with the share information (note examining regedit shows the newly imported key)
    - Restart the server, but the share doesn't show up in the cluster administrator or share management tool on my 2008 R2
    1. Is it even possible to transfer file shares using the cluster migration wizard from 2003 to 2008 r2? Maybe I'm missing a step with the client access point (or do I need to transfer all cluster resources over at once).
    2. Should the registry key export import work, when the shares have been created under the cluster administration console (as opposed to windows explorer)?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Currently there is no such a tool which could help transfer Sharing permissions to a new server or a new cluster.
    Here is an article about file share in a cluster:
    Working with File Shares in Windows Server 2008 (R2) Failover Clusters
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
    From this article, share permission of a Windows Server 2008 R2 failover Cluster will be stored in HKLM\Cluster\Resources\<GUID>\Parameters.
    You can test to export that keys to new cluster to see if shares will occur however as it is GUID involved, it may not work on a new cluster.
