CISCO AIRONET 1230AG SERIES Hardware View

The Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series delivers the versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features required in more challenging RF environments. It is designed for wireless LANs in rugged environments or installations that require specialized antennas, and features dual antenna connectors for extended range, coverage versatility, and more flexible installation options. The Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series combines antenna versatility with industry-leading transmit power, receive sensitivity, and delay spread for high multipath and indoor environments, providing reliable performance and throughput for the most demanding requirements.

The Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series is available in two versions: unified or autonomous. Unified access points operate with the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) and work in conjunction with Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS). When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series can automatically detect the best-available Cisco wireless LAN controller and download appropriate policies and configuration information with no manual intervention.

Autonomous access points are based on Cisco IOS® Software and may optionally operate with the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE). Autonomous access points, along with the CiscoWorks WLSE, deliver a core set of features and may be field-upgraded to take advantage of the full benefits of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network as requirements evolve.
