Newbie help with Aironet 1200 access point

Hello everybody,
We "inherited" an Aironet 1200 access point with antenna's throughout our building. This was installed by a company that thought they would make money selling Wi-Fi access but now they have gone bankrupt.
We eliminated their router and installed one of our own, and we have it handing out IP addresses. When I plug it into the Aironet 1200 it works just fine. Users are able to connect wirelessly and access the internet.
I would like to change the SSID however so that it no longer reflects the now defunct companies name.
I cannot determine what IP address is assigned to the access point so I can't figure out how to access the management page.
I tried connecting to the ethernet port via a DB9 to RJ45 cable and hyper terminal. After connecting the cable and powering up the access point I am still unable to connect.
I realize once I get connected I will probably run into password issues, but I'd like to figure out how to get at least that far.
Any ideas?

since ur gonna change the ssid and there is a password...
1. reset the ap. before plugging power to ap, press hold the mode button for 3 sec or until the led becomes orange or amber, then release.
2. the ap is reset to default setting with ip address 10.0.0.1
3. either console or gui the ap and change the bvi to ur preferred ip address.
4. configure everything else as you want.

  • Cisco 2500 controller with aironet 1600 access point

    Hi,
    This my first wireless project, and I have a few questions about the installation :
    1- some of the access point will be installed in branch offices, connected to the controller through the main MPLS netwrok ( is that possible).
    2- If for any reason the connectivity between the AP and the controller get disconnected what will happend to the users connected to the access point.
    3- can I have two vlan on the Aironet 1600, the first one to be connected to the controller through the MPLS netwrok and the second for users to public internet.(internet break out).
    Thanks,

    Yes that setup will work. What the others are trying to explain is authentication if your WAN goes down. If your AP's are setup for FlexConnect and you are indeed using AP groups, (using 802.1x) you need to have a radius server and a backup AD sever to allow for authentication to still happen if the WAN goes down. If you have resources centralized, then when the WAN goes down, everything else goes down and no new authentications will take place and any re-authentications will fail with 802.1x.

  • Help with N97 and Access points after V20 upgrade

    Hi Guys,
    I'm hoping someone can help me - I have an 505 uk unit and have changed to a generic euro product code to get the V20 software ( as theres a 2 week wait minimum for the network to release its custome version ) and its working brilliantly - except - in connections all my accesspoints have gone - I now show 13 uncategorised access points which I cant expand or open and it wont let me delete the lot as it says its protected Anyone able to sort this out and tell me what to do so I can get back to Internet and Contract WAP etc... destinations?
    Much Appreciating any help.
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I am not sure what kind of applications are preloaded in your location.  I suppose the problem you faced is unable to delete certain definitions under the Destinations setting?
    If a hard reset is not an option (not for me as I have purchased apps from the OVI store), I would create a dummy Destination to house all these unwanted definitions.  That way, so long as the default connection does not utilize this dummy Destination, I think you are OK.  Hope this helps.

  • Blackberry Z10 connection with an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying without success a connection between a Blackberry Z10 and an Aironet Cisco Access Point 1200.
    We have no BB Server, we would like just to connect the WIFI.
    I've checked this points during the activation of the device:
    There's no LEAP protocolle.
    There's an EAP-Fast possibility.
    There's Mac Address recognition possibility.
    When we try to use the EAP-Fast possibility, we generate a .pac file, but i don't know where i can put this file so that the Blackberry recognize this file. I've search the whole day and didn't find anything... there's simply no explanation with the Z10 around the .pac file without a BB Server.
    I've try the Mac Address recognition and it simply doesn't work (no error the search time is too long)
    Every other older smartphones - Blackberry (there's 4 devices) are working.
    Anyone have an idea about? a suggestion? a list of compatible WIFI Devices?
    Thank you ahead.
    Have a nice day.
    Joel.

    Sorry i don't understand your answer.
    I'm not a developper but a system administrator.
    I just would like to use a Balckberry Z10 with our Wifi/Router Aironet Access Point 1200.
    not more.

  • Configuring Cisco Aironet 1100 Access Point. Please help!

    Hi all,
    I have dozens of Cisco Aironet 1100 access points, each is managing its own wi-fi with DHCP.
    I had to disable dhcp on them because they are on a wired subnet where I am using the static IPs and don't want my wired clients to get DHCP addresses, nor someone to be able to plug the wire into own laptop and get on the network.
    It's been working fine with one exception - I need to be able to ping my access points from the central site, and I can't.
    What IOS command would enable ICMP echo on my access points in this case?
    Please help!

  • Can an Aironet WiFi Access Point bridge multiple internal VLANs?

    I have Cisco Aironet 2700e access points.  Historically they were configured with a single SSID on both radios with WEP 128bit security.
    I now need to add new WiFi devices to the network that have limited flexibility.  They must be associated only with a specific radio (2.4ghz or 5ghz) and WPA2PSK security.
    My thought was to create two additional SSIDs on the 2700 access points, one for 2.4gz WPA2PSK and the other for 5ghz WPA2PSK.  The pre-existing SSID will continue to use 128bit WEP.  To do that  I need to use VLANs on the 2700e.
    I have no other VLANS on my network.  I only need VLANs on the 2700e because I have different physical devices that support different WiFi frequencies and security options.  I don't need to segment the network.
    How do I bridge the VLANs on the 2700e?
    Devices that connect to the non-native VLANs appear to be isolated from the rest of the network (as I would suspect with VLANs).  But that's not what I want .  I'm only using VLANs because I need multiple SSIDs, and I need multiple SSIDs because I have different physical devices that want different WiFI access point configurations.  I can't seem to find any way to configure the 2700e to bridge the VLANs for the multiple SSIDs.
    Any guidance would be appreciated.  I could buy additional access points but that seems to be defeating the purpose of having a device like the 2700e.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I made these changes to the example here:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/55561/multiple-ssid-multiple-vlans-configuration-example-cisco-aironet-aps
    and it seems to be working.  (By "working" I mean that I can now ping to/from devices connected on different SSIDs.) I had to make these changes from the CLI.  There does not seem to be a way to make these changes from the GUI.  Is that correct? If there is a way to make these changes from the GUI please let me know.
    The changes I made were to make the sub interface for Dot11 radio 0 on the VLANs part of bridge-group 1.  So assuming the config in the example:
    ap(config)#interface Dot11Radio0.2
    ap(config-subif)#no bridge-group 2
    ap(config-subif)#bridge-group 1
    ap(config-subif)#exit
    ap(config)#interface Dot11Radio0.3
    ap(config-subif)#no bridge-group 3
    ap(config-subif)#bridge-group 1
    ap(config-subif)#exit
    I did not change the bridge group on the Ethernet interface.
    Questions:
    1. Did I create any new problems making this change? It seems to work, but am I going to get myself in trouble somewhere else?  Intuitively it makes sense to me: the VLANs are now part of the same bridge group (1, the native VLAN).  So all traffic should be bridged together.  Correct?
    2. I didn't change the Ethernet sub interfaces.  I don't seem to need to make that change.  I also don't like things sitting out there that I don't understand.  Should I do anything to clean up the Ethernet interfaces?
    3. The original configuration was made entirely from the GUI.  This change needs to be made from the CLI.  Can it be done from the GUI?  I can't seem to find a way to change bridge groups for a sub interface from the GUI. It worried me that it can't be done from the GUI.
    Thank you.

  • Aironet 350 Access Point needs security

    I have been asked to help a fledgling school lock down their wireless network.  The network is currently setup as 3 Aironet 350 Access Points with operating on the same subnet distributed around the school.
    These have NOT been updated or touched since the day they were installed, by all acounts.  I think they are running VXworks.  My issue is that most support links that might prove helpful seem to be broken.
    A few simple questions:
    Can the Aironet 350 be secured and then used with a simple shared key?  This link seems to say no, that you must have Cisco software on the user computer as well.  that certainly can't be right, can it?
    I'm clearly out of my comfort zone with these, but they just don't have anyone to do this for them.  It looks like they need to be flashed to IOS and then able to use WPA but not WPA2?  I'm having trouble finding a firmware lik for the 350 as well because it's EOL.
    Basically, any help or information is welcome!  I'm ready to just pull the plug on them and call them secure!

    350 APs (not bridges) can be converted to IOS.  Then they can do WPA-PSK TKIP.  Downside is they only have 802.11b radios.  The latest IOS they can run is old but could probably be setup with WDS using an internal RADIUS server on one.
    The upgrade tool and image are still available for download.  I'm attaching a .pdf of instructions.
    You need these files:
    Aironet-AP-Cisco-IOS-Conversion-Tool-v2.1.exe
    AP350-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v2.img

  • Cisco 1200 Access Points as Bridges - Won't work

    I could use some help. I have a pair of Cisco 1200 AP's that I'm trying to use as bridges.
    I have selected one as a Root Bridge, the other as Non-Root. The non-root shows the wireless interface down and the log reveals 'no association'.
    I have verified NO security, identical SSID's, broadcast SSID, no encryption, no WEP, they are sitting 10 feet apart, same channels, etc. etc.
    Can a 1200 access point serve as a bridge?

    I went to Security > SSID Manager and selected the only SSID as the infrastructure SSID and it did nothing. If there is another place to toggle 'Infrastructure SSID' on and off other than by assigning one, I'm unaware of it.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • IPhone4 and Cisco Aironet 1141 access point - fail using WPAv2 Personal

    I cannot get my iPhone4 (latest s/w) to connect to a Cisco Aironet 1141 access point if I specify WPAv2 Personal. It is a single access point without radius etc. I have no problems connecting using "no security", WEP or WPAv1. Is there a problem with the iPhone4 implementation of WPA2 as all my other PCs connect just fine on WPAv2?
    With the Aironet 1141 I can switch security between WPAv1 & WPAv2 while keeping all other settings identical. Thus I can clearly demonstrate how the iPhone4 connects when both devices are set to WPAv1 yet will fail to connect when I switch both to WPAv2. As I have said, all other PCs I have connect via WPAv2 without any issues.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

  • Securing Aironet 350 Access Point

    Hello -
    My small network is operating correctly using the Aironet 350 Access Point and multiple clients. However, the setup is not secure.
    How is it possible to secure access to our AP?
    Specifically: I would like to establish a WEP key, as some devices (i.e. pocket-pc's) do not support more advanced security schemes.
    Thanks,

    Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication, also called 802.1x authentication, provides dynamic WEP keys to wireless users. Dynamic WEP keys are more secure than static, or unchanging, WEP keys.
    For more details on configuring both types of WEP refer the following document,

  • Can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) configured to work with non-cisco access points?

    I understand that access points can be configured to forwards all the probe requests to cisco wifi controller. cisco MSE(mobility service engine) gets the probes from wifi controller to find the location of the mobile devices.
    My question, can cisco MSE(mobility service engine) be configured to work with non-cisco access points?

    No and the reason why is the NMSP communication from the MSE to the WLC. Other vendors don't support this so there is no communication happening.

  • Beginner Needs Help with Aironet 1131G Wireless Access Point

    I have a new Cisco Aironet 1131G Wireless Access point.  It is picking up an IP address and I can ping that address.  However, I can't access it via the web-based GUI or the CLI.  I have preformed the reset.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I cannot access means what?? are you not able to go to CONFIG T prompt from CLI?? and if you are in the same subnet as that of the AP, are you not able to open up the GUI?? if you are not able to then, issue the command "show version" on the AP CLI and see if your image is "RCVKW8" image. if so u need to convert the same to IOS using the below method..
