Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point
The Cisco Aironet® 1200 Series Access Point (AP) provides the following physical interface connections:
The mini-PCI interface supports either an 802.11b or 802.11g radio operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band.The CardBus interface supports an 802.11a radio operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. At least one radio must be installed for the AP to operate in a Wireless LAN, and at most two radios (one of each form factor) can be installed.
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series may be ordered as follows:
•
Configurable: identify the AP platform and then select which radio(s) to be installed, or
•
Configurable part numbers for the Cisco Aironet 1200 are only available on the Global Price List. The configurable option is best for those who are ordering the product for a specific single customer or project. When choosing the "configurable" option, the AP platform and radio module(s) must be selected. Although the AP platform and radio module(s) are ordered separately through the configuration tool, they will arrive fully assembled as a completely functional end product.
Preconfigured bundles are available on both the Global and Wholesale Price Lists. Preconfigured bundles associate a unique SKU to a predefined product configuration for AP platform and radio module. As with the configurable product, a preconfigured bundle will arrive fully assembled.
For both configurable products and preconfigured bundles, selection of a country power cord is required, and options for in-line power injector and console cable are available through the configuration tool. For those configurable and preconfigured bundles based on Cisco IOS, an additional option is available for selecting the software image version.
2.4 GHz antennas are not included with the 802.11b or 802.11g radio modules in either version; they must be identified under a separate order line item and purchased separately. Note, the 802.11a radio module is designed with its antenna integrated to the radio module, and therefore no antenna selection is required or available.
Configuration Options
The following table identifies the Cisco Aironet 1200 configuration options. The choices for power cord and IOS software image (for the AP1210 platform) are not listed in this table.

2 Note: The VxWorks operating system does not support 802.11g. Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points using the VxWorks OS must be upgraded to Cisco IOS to support the 802.11g radio module.
Preconfigured Bundles
The following table identifies the available preconfigured bundles and its platform and radio module components. Note that not all possible combinations of platforms and radio modules have been preconfigured. Only those regulatory domains identified are available in a preconfigured bundle.

Product Description
The following table describes each of the parts identified previously.
When ordering the items listed in the above charts separately from the product, order using the spare part number by appending an equal sign "=" to the part number. For example, order AIR-PWRINJ3= if ordering the Power Injector under a separate order line item.
Regulatory Domains
Regulatory domains are used to distinguish groups of countries that adhere to the same or similar regulations for radio usage with regards to available channels and transmit power. Cisco Aironet radio products are set at the factory to allow a particular channel set and maximum transmit power and are reflected in the part number as the single character following the model number (for example, in AIR-AP1231G-A-K9, the regulatory domain is represented by "-A-". Customers must select the correct regulatory domain that corresponds to their particular country when choosing a radio module for use in their access point or when choosing a preconfigured bundle.
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access point is certified for use in many countries around the world, but has not been approved for use in all countries. Please refer to the following URL for current worldwide approval status of the Cisco Aironet 1200: http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance

Antennas
The 2.4 GHz radios for 802.11b and 802.11g support a flexible set of Cisco Aironet omnidirectional and directional antennas that can be mounted on walls, ceilings or on masts. The 2.4 GHz radio does not come with antennas; the antennas must be ordered separately. Note that the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access point is certified for operation only with Cisco Aironet antennas. To ensure regulatory compliance, select Cisco Aironet antennas for use with the 1200 Series access point.
The 5 GHz radio for the 802.11a is designed with an integrated diversity antenna system. Auxiliary 5 GHz antennas are not required and are not available. A complete Antenna Reference Guide is available to assist users in selecting the proper antenna for specific deployment requirements: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps469/products_data_sheet09186a008008883b.html
Client Adapters
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access point will interoperate with all IEEE 802.11a/b/g (Wi-Fi) WLAN client adapters. To take advantage of the end-to-end features, Cisco innovations and the award-winning Cisco Wireless Security Suite, Cisco recommends that customers use Cisco client adapters or Cisco Compatible clients when possible. For more information, including a complete listing of Cisco Compatible products, refer to the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partners/pr46/pr147/partners_pgm_partners_0900aecd800a7907.html
