Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
OL-2155-02
Chapter 1 Overview
Key Features
The module contains dual integrated omnidirectional antennas and directional patch antennas for
diversity operation.
Power
The access point can receive power through an external power module or through inline power using the
Ethernet cable. Using inline power, you do not need to run a separate power cord to the access point.
Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the access point and plug the other end into
one of the inline power sources. The access point supports the following power sources:
• Inline power
–
A 1200 series power injector
–
A switch with inline power, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL switch
–
An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
• A 1200 series power module (Universal power supply)
Caution The 1200 series power injectors are designed for use with Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points only.
Using the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage the equipment.
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.
Note If you need to use a power module or power injector to power the access point, you must use the 1200
series power module or power injector. The 350 series power module and power injector are not
compatible with the 1200 series access point.
Note Currently, only the 1200 series power injector and the power module can support simultaneous operation
of both the 2.4-GHz radio and the 5.0-GHz radio.
Note When using in-line power from a switch or patch panel do not connect the 1200 series power module to
the access point. Using two power sources on the access point might cause the switch or patch panel to
shut down the port to which the access point is connected.
Note Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful not to accidently connect the
Ethernet cable to the console port connector.
