Cisco Aironet 1250AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-8247-01

Overview

Cisco Aironet 1250AG Series Access Points combine mobility, flexibility, and modularity with the

enterprise-class features required by networking professionals. With a management system based on

Cisco IOS software software, the 1250AG series access point is a Wi-Fi certified, wireless LAN

transceiver.

The access point supports two radio modules: a 2.4-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11b/g) and a 5-GHz radio

(IEEE 802.11a). The modular design enables support for a future IEEE802.11n radio module once the

standard is ratified. This modularity helps customers future proof their access point investments.

You can configure the radios separately, using different settings on each. The access point connects

wireless and wired networks or is the center point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large

installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout a facility while

maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.

You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the

browser-based management system, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or Cisco

Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN).
