Important Notes
Access Point Requires 1200 Series Universal Power Supply and Power Injector
The 350 series universal power supply and power injector are not compatible with the 1200 series access
point. If you use a power injector or a power module to provide power to a 1200 series access point, you
must use a 1200 series universal power supply. If you need to use a power injector to inject power into
the access point’s Ethernet port, you must use a 1200 series power injector.

Unpowered 1100 Series Access Points Cause Loopback When Connected to Switches Without
Loopback Detection
Loopback Detection
When you connect an unpowered 1100 series access point to a switch without loopback detection, the
access point causes a loopback. To avoid this problem, make sure loopback detection is enabled on the
switch to which the access point is connected. If your switch does not have loopback detection,
disconnect the access point from the switch when the access point power is off.

Antenna Installation
For instructions on the proper installation and grounding of external antennas for 1200 series access
points, refer to the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article
810, and the Canadian Standards Association’s Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54.

Warning
Do not install the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care
not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death.

Important Notes
This section describes important information about the access point.
SNTP Replaces NTP
In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, access points and bridges support SNTP instead of NTP. This change
improves the reliability of the system time on access points and bridges, allows access points and bridges
to synchronize with any NTP server, and prevents client devices from synchronizing to an access point
or bridge clock that might not be accurate.

Default Username and Password Are Cisco
When you open the access point interface, you must enter a username and password. The default
username for administrator login is Cisco, and the default password is Cisco. Both the username and
password are case sensitive.
