DATA SHEET CISCO AIRONET 1100 SERIES ACCESS POINT The Cisco Aironet® 1100 Series Access Point provides a high-speed, secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN solution that combines the freedom and flexibility of wireless networking with the features and services required in enterprise networks (Figure 1). The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series supports a single radio and is available in an IEEE 802.11g version or IEEE 802.11b version. The IEEE 802.11b version is field upgradable to 802.11g.
Figure 1. An access point either is the center point in an all-wireless network or serves as a connection point between a wired and wireless network. Multiple access points can be placed throughout a facility to give users with 802.11b or 802.11g wireless LAN client adapters the ability to roam freely throughout an extended area while maintaining uninterrupted access to all network resources.
Figure 2. Indoor Wireless VLAN Deployment With support for 802.1p QoS, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series provides traffic prioritization for packets traveling to and from the access point over Ethernet. Delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice and video, can be prioritized over data traffic for improved user experience and optimal network utilization. Software and radio firmware upgrades allow upgrades to future QoS standards such as 802.11e. Supporting the voice prioritization schemes for 802.
full WLAN intrusion monitoring with continuous full-time, 24 hours and 7 days a week monitoring of the RF environment. With Cisco SWAN Integrated WLAN IDS, the access point performs WLAN intrusion monitoring of the RF environment while also functioning as an IEEE 802.11 infrastructure device allowing client associations to the network.
Figure 4. WAN Link Remote Site Survivability ENTERPRISE-CLASS SECURITY SOLUTION Wireless LAN security is a primary concern. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series secures the enterprise network with a scalable and manageable system featuring the award-winning Cisco Wireless Security Suite. Based on the 802.1X standard for port-based network access, the Cisco Wireless Security Suite takes advantage of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) framework for user-based authentication (Figure 5).
• IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) support as a firmware upgrade for the 802.11g radio • RADIUS accounting records for all authentication attempts For more information on wireless security, visit: http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/security Figure 5. The Cisco Wireless Security Suite is an Enterprise-Class Security System Based on the 802.
Figure 6. The redesigned GUI in the Aironet 1100 Series provides intuitive browser-based management for basic configuration of the access point. The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series defines enterprise office deployment capability. Designed in an attractive, durable plastic enclosure, with integrated diversity dipole antennas, the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can be quickly deployed with a reliable, omni-directional coverage pattern.

Table 1. Key Features and Benefits Feature Benefit Enterprise Performance 2.4 GHz 802.11g or 802.11b radio, configurable up to • High-performance 2.4 GHz WLAN solution that delivers data rates of up to 11 Mbps (IEEE 802.11b) or 54 Mbps (IEEE 802.11g) with backwards compatibility to legacy 802.
Feature Benefit Access Point Scanning-Only • Cisco SWAN WDS feature that allows the Cisco Aironet access point to be set in a scanning-only mode, Mode where it scans the RF environment for rogue access points and unassociated 802.11 clients. In this WLAN IDS mode, the access point does not transmit beacons, respond to probe requests, or support client device association.
Feature Benefit Cisco Wireless Security Suite • Provides award-winning WLAN security features Support • Defends against passive and active security attacks • 802.
Feature Benefit Supports Inline power over • Eliminates need for local AC power Ethernet (Figures 8, 9, 10) • Reduces cable clutter • Enables deployment in remote locations HTTP server with redesigned • Navigable graphic-oriented layout common across Cisco products Web browser-based GUI • Express Set Up consolidates key configuration tasks in single view Dynamic Host Configuration • Automatically obtains an IP address from DHCP server Protocol (DHCP) client Figure 8.
