Introduction
Introduction
Cisco Aironet Access Points are wireless LAN transceivers that can act as the connection point between
wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a standalone wireless network. In large
installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points enables wireless users to
move freely throughout a facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.

The 1200 series access point can contain two radios: a 2.4-GHz radio in an internal mini-PCI slot and a
5-GHz radio module in an external, modified cardbus slot. The access point supports only one radio of
each type. You can configure the radios separately using different settings on each radio.

Note
If you plan to mount the access point in an area exposed to environmental air space with the intention of
upgrading to a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends that you mount the access point horizontally so that its
antennas point down. Doing so ensures that the access point complies with regulatory requirements for
environmental air space after the 5-GHz radio is installed.
