Preface

This guide is for the networking professional who installs and manages the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point, hereafter referred to as the access point. To use this guide, you should have experience working with Cisco IOS software and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of wireless local area networks.

Purpose

This guide provides the information you need to install and configure basic settings for your access point. For information on using Cisco IOS commands to configure your access point, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points. For detailed information about these Cisco IOS commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Command Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges for this release. For information about the standard Cisco IOS Release 12.3 commands, refer to the Cisco IOS documentation set available from the Cisco.com home page at Service and Support > Technical Documents. On the Cisco Product Documentation home page, select Release 12.3 from the Cisco IOS Software drop-down menu.

This guide also includes an overview of the access point web-based interface (APWI) but does not provide field-level descriptions of all the APWI windows nor does it provide the procedures for configuring all access point options from the APWI. For all APWI window descriptions, refer to the access point online help, which is available from the Help buttons on the APWI pages.

Organization

Chapter 1, "Overview," lists the software and hardware features of the access point and describes the access point's role in your network.

Chapter 2, "Installing the Access Point," describes how to mount the access point on a desktop, wall, or ceiling, how to connect Ethernet, serial, and power cables, and provides an installation summary, safety warnings, and general guidelines.

"Channels and Power Levels," lists the access point radio channels and the maximum power levels supported by the world's regulatory domains.

"Console Cable Pinouts," identifies the pinouts for the serial console cable that connects to the access point's serial console port.

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

Tip

We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one that has the most recent creation date in this public key server list:

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at this URL:

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Locating the Product Serial Number

The access point serial number is on the bottom of the housing (refer to Figure 1).

You need your product serial number when requesting support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
