Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point

Subject: FlexConnect compatibility with Access Point
Summary: Hi,
We have today one Cisco 5508 and those access point on remote sites
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1131AG-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1231G-E-K9
o CISCO AIR-LAP-1142N-E-K9
We plan to use redundancy on the controller and implement Flexconnect on the remote site. What we need to know is if I can implement Flexconnect on all actual access point - I think it is possible on 1142N + 1131G but do not know on 1231AG - is it correct or I'm wrong
We plan to install the latest SW version for 5508 controller.
Thank you
Jean

Here is what is supported
Note All features discussed in this chapter apply to indoor (1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, 3500) and outdoor mesh access points (1500 series) unless noted otherwise. Mesh access point or MAP is hereafter used to refer to both indoor and outdoor mesh access points.

  • Router compatibility with Access Points

    I work in IT but am a novice to wireless.
    I would like to find out if my Wireless Router is compatible with my Access Points if WAP security is turned on.
    My current configuration is a Linksys Wrt54g ver 2.04.4 and 2 Cisco Air-Ap1231G-A-K9 system software version12.3(7)JA2
    Right now it is working with the Linksys router serving out DHCP without security. My predecessor did not turn on security.
    I did turn on WAP security on Router and the AP's but could not get connected. With 2 laptops I could see the AP's but could not connect to them with the passphrase. On the AP's I used the Express security menu.
    My question is, should I upgrade the router? If yes, What would be the best fit to work with the AP1231g's?

    That's not exactly what I was referring to... What you describe sounds like you are using the old AirPort base station as a remote location. If I recall correctly, the oldest AirPort base stations could not do this function. I don't recall which model added this function.
    You can check using AirPort Utility. First, on the manual setup screens for your AirPort Extreme base station, check under the Wireless tab. For +Wireless Mode+, there should be an option for +Participate in a WDS network+. You don't need to change anything for now.
    Now, check the same place on the setup screens for the old AirPort base station. Does it have an option for +Participate in a WDS network+ ? If so, it should work.
    Set them both to +Participate in a WDS network+. On the Extreme, go to the WDS tab and set it as +WDS main+. On the old one, set it as +WDS remote+. In your case, make sure the +Allow wireless clients+ option is NOT checked, because you want your Extreme to handle wireless connections.
    Plug in your old iMac to the old AirPort base station using an Ethernet cable, and it should be able to connect with the default +Using DHCP+ setting. I used my old AirPort Express this way to connect my TiVo box to the Internet, after my AirPort Extreme took over as the main wireless router.

  • Problem with Access Point app

    Yesterday I experienced a problem with my internet sharing where it wouldn't start and gave me an error: Connection not shared, Internet sharing isn't currently available
    . I ran across an article on wpcentral.com where they suggested installing the Access Point app from this thread:
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082
    Now I've done that and I see 3 profiles in the app, only 2 are LTE. Activating either of those LTE profiles now gets me an error when trying to internet share that looks like this: Connection not shared, To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611. When I use the 3g access point profile I get the same message I was getting yesterday.
    At this point I don't think this app is doing anything for me. I dont' use multiple sims, I'm not a world traveller. I also don't know which profile I should be on. I'm clearly in over my head and would like to just take a step back. However, I can't see a way to uninstall the app as it's now in settings. How do I get myself back to where I was yesterday?
    And for bonus points, does anybody know what the original error I was getting means?
    Thanks,
    Joel

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes, I've tried a soft reset to no avail. I've gone to both the AT&T store and the Microsoft store and neither of them have any thoughts on what's going on. At this point I think I will need to replace the hardware since I've not found a solution from anyone.
    Thanks for you help.

  • Intermittent problem with access point (WAP321)

    We hane an intermittent problem with our Wifi access point WAP321. Suddenly, all clients are unable to access Internet, server and local network. The signal is 100%. The message is no internet connection or limited connection (on all device, Iphone, computer, etc.). When I check to Ip configuration, the ip adress have change for loca 169.x.x.x. The only way to resolve is to reboot the access point. (POE).
    It seem that access point don't relay information to rest of network. Strange.
    The access point is connected to a simple unmanaged switch. This switch is connect to router and server. The serveur (Win2008) is the DHCP Server and DNS Server.
    Can you help me to find a solution. ?

    This may be the problem;
    Devices: WAP discovers devices with ASSOC method that don't have an IP
    CSCtz20891
    Description
    Symptom:
    The OnPlus topology will show nodes with no IP address. Devices associated to WAP121/321 VAP/SSID not on the management VLAN will display topology nodes with with no IP address.
    Conditions:
    This occurs when the client associated to the WAP121/321 but is on a VLAN other than the management VLAN. In this case the WAP client information can be collected on the management VLAN, but the clients cannot be ARP/ping to validate.
    Workaround:

  • N73 problem with access point.

    I have 3 APN : orange mms, orange wap and orange internet. I deleted the orange internet apn (from tools settings connections) and set the phone browser to use the orange wap apn. My problem is that periodically the Orage Internet apn appears again in the list and the browser automaticaly switches to that one. The browser does not have any option to ask on connection. In the last 2 days I browsed 20 mb on the internet without knowing that it is internet not wap and this will cost me 25 $.
    This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen, the phone lets you change your settings but it does what it wants (stupid factory settings).
    Any ideas/ solutions?

    Is your phone locked to the Orange network or did you buy it SIM free? Seems like typical behaviour for a phone with firmware designed for Orange.

  • AirPlay not working with Wi-Fi access point

    Got home network, everithing worked fine including AirPlay. Decided to switch off radio on main router and place an access point to boost wi-fi signal. Model - Dlink DAP-1350. All works fine, much better coverage, BUT NO AirPlay. At all. Not a songle player is seen from wireless devices. Remove access point, turn back radio on main router - all works again.
    Btw with access point on wired devices see all AirPlay speakers just fine, only wired are not working at all.
    Any ideas where to look for a fix?

    Correct, you will need a BlackBerry Data Plan from your carrier for the BlackBerry functions and features.
    Some third party applications like Opera Mini will work, and as well, your Hotspot browser will work with the WiFi.
    You must have the Data Plan, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • WRT150N as access point troubles

    Trying to use a 150n as an access point and am having troubles.
    First my setup:
    PC on XP, receiving wireless from my ISP through a wireless card in the PC.
    Have no way to connect the incoming ISP signal directly to the 150N.
    What I want to do, and have done it before with access points, is to recieve my ISP through my wireless card, send it to the 150N router via my network card, and then be able to access the 150N wireless signal throughout my home with a laptop.
    I have done the searches and done the procedures to change the IP address of the router, however when I am done doing this I can no longer access the 150N through my network card. Have tried with a couple different computers and each time after the router is reconfigured it crashes the network card in the computer.
    The only way to get back to the router is to press the reset button and start over.
     I'm about to trash the router and go back to a standard access point of a different brand. I have never had this problem before. With today's technology there's no reason this shouldn't work with a standard router, yet all of them I see require a direct connection to a DSL or cable modem in order to work.
    Help...........
    Thanks

     I'm trying to share the incoming connection wirelessly through the router/access point.
    Incoming wireless to my desktop via wireless card, send that out through the network card to a router/access point, thereby creating my own internal wireless network which I can access with my laptops throughout the house.
    The incoming wireless is a bit weak, so it does not allow a reliable connection to the laptops.
    Basically the desktop will only function as a server system to the internal wireless network.
    Done the same in the past, just gotta figure out how to do it with the new Linksys router.
    Thanks

  • Does iOS 6 remember access points by SSID and their associated Wi-Fi frequency?

    Just trying to figure out how iOS 6.1.2 handles remembering SSID's and if it associates the frequency(2.4 or 5) to the SSID.  I work in a hospital setting. The place is littered with access points with the same SSID on 2.4ghz and 5ghz. There are places in the hospital where the Wi-Fi connection drops out on iOS but remains connected on my other device(android). If I go into settings, Wi Fi, the network is almost always visible but just seems to take forever to resolve, even in those places where it drops out its still visible. Any ideas on what might be causing iOS 6 (ipad mini) to resolve connections so slowly, is it something to do with the frequency or is it too many 'cute girls' to choose from i.e. too many overlapping SSID's in the same frequency.

    The reset I wrote about was Settings-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. Don't bother, I just did that and restored from backup. Still in exactly he same situation. Our iPad 1’s and iPhone 4’s running 5.1 appear to be fine and display everything including album covers.  I firmly believe its something in iOS 6 and/or iTunes. Either way, you'll keep knocking yourself out possibly to little avail in my opinion so this is my solution:
    My iPad gen 3 is still under warrantee. I'll call Apple Support tomorrow, get a case number and ask them to call. I'm not sure if Apple has been working on this, been made aware of or ???  They keep so secretive about these types of things. I'll let you know what they tell me and keep you in the loop. If you do happen to discover a fix, please let me know. I don't know how busy support will be over the next day or two. We'll see.
    I used to be quite a "fanboy" as you put it. We have an iMac, an iPad 1, two iPad 2`s, my iPad 3, and four iPhone 4’s. unfortunately, over the last year or so there has been a noticeable shift in employee attitudes in support and their stores. This surely filters down from above and along with human nature and believing they will always be better than the competition, it breeds arrogance and a shift away from the support of yesterday. I don't know if its because Jobs is no longer around or what, but it does exist. I broke from PC and windows six years ago. While I don't relish the hardware and app penalty of complete change, this update to iOS 6 is bad. Anyway, time will tell.
    In the meanwhile, I'll be in touch.

  • N91 - Deleted Access Points still visible to appli...

    I created and later deleted a number of Access Points in Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access Points.
    Although they appeared to be deleted (not listed anymore in the N91 menu system), applications such as Fring and Nimbuzz include/show all the deleted Access Points together with the current access points when listing available access points for selection. 
    Is there a known OS bug with access point deletion?
    I'm using the latest Nokia software V2.20.008.

  • 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!

  • Cisco 2602 Access Point - Support

    Dear Team,
    Could you please advise, if Cisco 2602 Access Point supports IPS and CleanAir along with Access Point feature or does it need to work as standalone to have these functions enabled ?
    Regards,
    SID 

    Might as well add my 2¢
    In order to have CleanAir, you need a WLC.  In order to do IPS, wireless its called wIPS, you need an MSE and NCS or Prime Infrastructure.
    A standalone access point (autonomous) is just a dumb AP and can't perform any of those functions:)
    Thanks,

  • WAP200 Access Point Firmware

    Greetings, I have a Linksys WAP200 Rev.01 access point. I currently have firmware version 1.0.22 installed. The only firmware that I can find on the Cisco support site is version 2.0.6.0. According to my previous experience with access points in general, Rev.01 of a device can not run version 2 of the firmware. Is that still true, or will I be able to upgrade the firmware on my access point to version 2?
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello Ravi,
    I'm looking for source code for the AP WAP200 version 2.0.6.0.                     
    I found only the source code for the version WAP200_GPL_v2.0.4.0_PUB_200110801.tar.bz2                                
    I'm already registration.                                            
    Can you help me and send special link to may registered email?

  • Problems with AirPort and WPA access point

    Okay, I have done quite a bit of research and I still cannot resolve my problem because of this, I am turning to this user community.
    Here is what I know as of right now:
    I am running Windows OS X 10.4.4 with AirPort Update 2005-001. My Access Point is a 3COM 8250.
    The AP is setup not to broadcast its SSID, to use WPA-TKIP (or in Apple terminology, WPA Personal) and the password is set to use alphanumeric.
    When I try to connect my PowerBook with the SSID name, WPA Personal and the correct password, I get the following error:
    The password you entered is not correct for the Airport network *******.
    To troubleshoot here are the test I have run and their outcomes:
    Test
    - Result
    Set the AP to completely open
    - Connected
    Set the AP to open, didn't broadcast the SSID
    - Connected
    Set the AP to WEP, broadcast the SSID
    - Connected
    Set the AP to WEP, didn't broadcast the SSID
    - Connected
    Set the AP to WPA & WEP, broadcast the SSID
    - WEP : Connected
    - WPA : Not Connected
    Set the AP to WPA & WEP, didn't broadcast SSID
    - WEP:Connected
    - WPA:Not Connected
    Set the AP to WPA only
    - Not Connected.
    Now, I should mention that when I was running 10.3.3 I could not connect either. The AP is running the newest firmware and I have three Windows XP SP2 laptops / workstations that can connect with no problems.
    I have tried to find a compatibility matrix on both 3COM's and Apple's websites to see if it might be a compatibility issue but I have not been able to find one on either site.
    Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciate.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello MisssAsh. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It's always a good idea to do a complete power recycle when changing network configurations.
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Mac mini not keeping connection with Cisco wireless access point

    I am trying to get my wife's Mac Mini to keep it's connection with the wireless network at her school. They are using a Cisco access point (not sure of the model) which works fine with my G4 Powerbook and the numerous Macbooks being used there, but for some reason her Mac Mini drops the connection after 4 or 5 minutes, at which point she needs to log right off for it to reconnect (as opposed to just turning the card off and on again). I have already gone through the deletion of the Networkinterfaces.plist file, and recreation of the Airport card profile process, but this only kept the interface active for about 36 hours, then it was back to the same old problem. At this point I am thinking "flakey card"...before I ship it off to Apple, can anyone offer any other possible solutions?

    After spending time on the phone with a Apple support technician, he indicated that the Iphone has a compatibility problem with the wep key encryption that the Cisco appliance uses. I find this disturbing being that Cisco is the biggest in network gear. What's UP Apple? We need SP1 for the IPHONE!!!

  • IPhone will not sync with Cisco Wireless Access Point

    This is unbelievable, i just bought a $1000 phone and it wont sync with a Cisco AP. I can sync it with a DLINK? I there a specific list of Access Points it will connect to. If so thats complete bullsh*(. Also, is there going to be a firmware update soon to fix these problems. Can you tell that im a little upset. I just saying that if someone spends $1000 dollars on a phone it should be working pretty dam good. Anyway can someone offer any suggestions?
