Chapter 1 Overview
Features
– An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
Note The Catalyst 3550-24 PWR switch supports power for access points configured with both 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radios. Other switches and patch panels might not provide enough power for the 5-GHz radio.
UL 2043 Certification
Caution The 1200 series power injectors are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building’s
environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
The access point is encased in a durable metal case having adequate fire resistance and low
smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as
above suspended ceilings, in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC, and with Sections 2-128,
12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
Anti-Theft Features
There are two methods of securing the access point to help prevent theft:
• Security cable keyhole—You can use the security cable slot to secure the access point using a
standard security cable, such as those used on laptop computers.
• Security hasp—When you mount the access point on a wall or ceiling using the mounting bracket
and the security hasp, you can lock the access point to the bracket with a padlock. Compatible
padlocks are Master Lock models 120T and 121T or equivalent.
Software Features
In addition to all the standard access point features, 1200 series access points also offer these software
features:
• World mode—Use this feature to communicate the access point’s regulatory setting information,
including maximum transmit power and available channels, to world mode-enabled clients. Clients
using world mode can be used in countries with different regulatory settings and automatically
conform to local regulations. World mode is supported only on the 2.4-GHz radio.
• Repeater mode—Configure the access point as a wireless repeater to extend the coverage area of
your wireless network.
• Standby mode—Configure the access point as a standby unit that monitors another access point and
assumes its role in the network if the monitored access point fails.
• Multiple SSIDs—Create up to 16 SSIDs on your access point and assign any combination of these
settings to each SSID:
– Broadcast SSID mode for guests on your network
– Client authentication methods
– Maximum number of client associations
– VLAN identifier
– Proxy Mobile IP
