Important Notes
Software Features and Enhancements
The following new software features and enhancements are introduced in release 4.1.192.35M.
Series 1520 Mesh Access Point Interoperability with Cisco 3200 Mobile Access Routers
Cisco series 1520 (1522, 1524) access points can interoperate with the Cisco series 3200 Wireless
Mobile Access Router (MAR) on the public safety channel (4.9-GHz) as well as the 2.4-GHz access and
5.8-GHz backhaul.
Mobile Access Router (MAR) on the public safety channel (4.9-GHz) as well as the 2.4-GHz access and
5.8-GHz backhaul.
The Cisco 3200 creates an in-vehicle network in which devices such as PCs, surveillance cameras, digital
video recorders, printers, PDAs, and scanners can share wireless networks such as cellular or WLAN
based services back to the main infrastructure. This allows data collected from in-vehicle deployments
such as a police cars to be integrated into the overall wireless infrastructure. For specific interoperability
details between series 1130, 1240, and 1520 mesh access points and series 3200 mobile access routers,

Backhaul Client Access (Universal Access) for Indoor and Outdoor Mesh Access Points
You can configure the backhaul for mesh access points (1522, 1510, 1240 and 1130) to accept client
traffic. When this feature is enabled, mesh access points allow wireless client association over the
802.11a radio. This universal access allows an access point to carry both backhaul traffic and 802.11a
client traffic over the same 802.11a radio. When this feature is disabled, backhaul traffic is only
transmitted over the 802.11a radio and client association is only allowed over the 802.11b/g radio.
traffic. When this feature is enabled, mesh access points allow wireless client association over the
802.11a radio. This universal access allows an access point to carry both backhaul traffic and 802.11a
client traffic over the same 802.11a radio. When this feature is disabled, backhaul traffic is only
transmitted over the 802.11a radio and client association is only allowed over the 802.11b/g radio.
After this feature is enabled, all mesh access points reboot.
Default: Disabled.
Note
This parameter is applicable to mesh access points with two radios (1522, 1510, 1240 and 1130)
excluding the 1524. However, backhaul client access is always automatically enabled for the
single 802.11b/g radio on the 1505.
