The maximum cable distance from antenna and Cisco 1200 series.

Hello all!
I?m using the Cisco 1200 Access Points Series with two 2.2dBi dipole antennas. I have read the installation guide for that Access Points and that can be installed with the antennas in separated places. But this guide didn't mention the maximum distance for the antenna cable...
Somebody here can say me this maximum distance?
Had somebody here made this kind of antenna installation with cable?
Thanks.

Oh Yeah!, I absolutely agree on "shorter is way better"
Given any chance / choice at all, I'd try to keep the cable length under 25 feet. If the option is available for a NEMA cabinet to get the cable shorter, I'd probably do that too.
Since it's good practice to use a chunk of fiber optic cabling between the external stuff and the inside network, you may as well put the AP as close to the antennas as possible and convert the copper to fiber for the long haul.
You get some lightning protection (at least you won't smoke all of the systems sitting on your LAN) and better signal strength (and probably signal quality too).
For something like a 200' run, if forced to do it (we're talking "gun to the head" forced here), I'd probably be looking for something like Andrew LDF4-50 1/2" Heliax with probably a weeeeee bit O' amp tossed in for good measure.
That would also imply that the system would also have to be re-certified, because of the non-standard components ...and a pretty good budget to boot.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

  • Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio? U

    Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio?
    If so what is the purpose of the separate optical audio connection?
    Just a little confusion setting the Apple TV Up with my AV receiver.
    TIA.

    You would use both HDMI and optical by connecting the former to a TV and the latter to a receiver that doesn't have an HDMI input so that you could play the audio through your stereo system.
    You can use the HDMI alone, typically directly to the TV or through an A/V receiver, as HDMI does carry both video and sound.
    For the year prior to the disastrous 4.4 updates a couple of weeks ago, you could use optical alone to add AirPlay music capabilities to your stereo system, so that you could stream music from iTunes and devices like the Touch and iPhone to your stereo. The 4.4 update broke that capability, requiring the use of HDMI for no reason. Lots and lots of people have been complaining about that bug, as it effectively bricks the Apple TV for anyone who bought it for this purpose but can't use the HDMI connection.

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • HT204370 Why are movies excluded from iCloud?  They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?

    They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device?  I find it so frustrating that first I had to purchase iWorks for my Mac, then I had to purchase it all over again for my IOS device so I could use iCloud, then I purchase thousands of dollars of movies and am not able to store them in the cloud, yet we have only purchased the rights to the songs no differently than we have the movies.  Why would they exclude movies from icloud?

    They are not part of icloud in all countries, becuase the movie industry in those copuntries does not allow Apple to offer this.

  • HT4436 what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

    what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

    probably no advantage, just Apple policy.
    I do not know are @mac users still have their e-mail addresses valid, however, @me works in parallel with @icloud and there is no difference which one you use. At least for the moment.

  • FCP X deleted about 2/3 of events to a project and the project. I uploaded the project to vimeo from FCP X, and the next day when I tried to use FCPX, they were gone, the events are gone from fcp and my ext hd, the project is still on the ext hd.

    FCP X deleted about 2/3 of events to a project and the project. I uploaded the project to vimeo from FCP X, and the next day when I tried to use FCPX, they were gone, the events are gone from fcp and my ext hd, the project is still on the ext hd, but it won't recognize in FCP X even though my ext HD shows in the project tab. anybody any clue how to bring it back?

    Thanks for the reply Andy.
    No, I don't have identical projects on a second drive, only saving to the movies folder on internal HD. The files and media save there fine, but fcp doesn't seem to recognise them the next day, just opens with one new untitled event and no projects.
    I have tried saving to en external HD tonight and will see if the problem happens again with this set up when I restart tomorrow.
    But I should be able to save to internal HD, so something is going wrong...

    I have Windows XP laptop. Can I get the photos Saved on the iPad1 iOS4.3 from emails and websites etc. Onto my laptop as backup or in case I want to delete the photos from the iPad?
    It never seems to synch fully with the laptop?

    Ivon, when you are satisfied that you have successfully imported the new folders to the iPad you can go back (as I have described above) and delete the originals of those you copied out in order to avoid 'duplication' and also save space.
    The method I have described also has advantages over creating new albums within the Photos app on the iPad since it 'duplicates' the photos and only permits the deletion of all so called copies. King_Penguin is correct when he states you can copy out photos originally taken with the iPad etc.

    what's the different between nokia from Hungary and finland
    5300 ---- N-Gage ---- 6600 ---- N-Gage QD---- 5800 XM
    Mobile: Nokia 5800 XM Red
    Country: Egypt
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nokia has production units in a number of countries around the world, all of which produce phones using the same materials and he same standards of production, there is no need to worry about any genuine Nokia device due to its country of manufacture.
    For logistical reasons, it is likely that your phone was made in a country closer to your own.

    I might have an answer for you... or I might be COMPLETELY WRONG
    If it isn't just a "failed" upgrade, as in you've tried the upgrade again and it still is happening.... I was reading something about older APs not have a Manufacturing-installed certificate (MIC) and these AP's generating a Self-signed Certificate (SSC).
    The error you have is referring to SSC so I'm writing this as if you have not had to previously do this step for your other conversions.
    I believe a couple of things needs to happen for SSC AP's.
    1) Must enable controller to accept self-signed certificated.
    Security > AAA > AP Polices > Accept Self Signed Certificate > Apply
    2) Add AP to Authorization List in Security > AAA > AP Polices > Add AP To Authrorization List
    Enter MAC Address of the AP
    Certificate type = SSC
    SHA1 Key Hash can be obtained from the controller by issueing this command:
    "debug pm pki enable"
    Look for the line: sshpmGetIssuerHandles: SSC Key Hash is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    I believe you use the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX as the SHA1 Key Hash.
    3) If required, you may also need to add the AP MAC Address in the Mac-Filter: Security > AAA > MAC Filtering > New >
    Hopefully its either a reload of the software or this SSC thing that fixes the problem....

  • "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when using WiFi and Cisco VPN

    hi
    I'm on iPhone software 2.0 and have a connection to the internet via WiFi and VPN (using the integrated Cisco client). Everything works fine (Safari, Mail, mobileme push of contacts and calendars) but the iTunes Store and the App Store won't. While the App Store keeps spinning the iTunes Store says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". Has anyone else experienced a similar phenomenon?
    thanks
    Message was edited by: samaki

    We're having the same issue. App Store and iTunes do not work when all traffic is tunneled over VPN. Yet, other applications like Safari, New York Times reader, Telnet, etc... work perfectly fine over VPN. If we have the iPhone switch over to using split tunneling VPN mode, then the App Store and iTunes work since they do not appear to be sending traffic over the VPN tunnel. I can say for certain that no outgoing traffic is being blocked on the VPN servers since I administer those servers. I also did a packet capture on the iPhone wireless session and it appears that the App Store sends traffic over the regular HTTP port. So it really doesn't make any sense from a VPN perspective why Safari would work but not the App Store or iTunes when you're tunneling all traffic over VPN. Our iPhones are using the latest firmware (5F136). If anyone has any update, please do share.

  • Can you get an virus or trojaner through the connection-cable (PC) from your iPod touch?

    I had an trojaner on my PC earlier and my iPod touch 4G was connected to my computer. Is it possible for the trojaner or viruses in general to make their way through the connection cable or something? If a photo or something wasn't infected. I mean sync-wise, etc.

    It would be very difficult for a virus or trojan to get from the iPod to your PC via USB. Attaching a virus to any media file such as a photo or music track is very, very difficult, and all known exploits that would do this were blocked a long time ago. Attaching a trojan would not be possible. Unless there's a new exploit I haven't heard of, only if a trojan program was attached to an email and from there transferred to an app that could then be synced to your computer would it be possible malware come from your iPod. I think that rather unlikely and that your trojan got into your PC from some other source.
    Regards.
