Using the MAR with a Cisco 1500 Mesh AP Network
The Universal Workgroup Bridge feature for the Cisco MAR3200 WMIC allows the WMIC radio to
associate to non-Aironet based access points. It also supports a majority of CCXv4 client features. In the
version 4.0 software release for the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), and Mesh APs,
enhancements have been added to support Cisco 1230, 1240, 1130, or 3200 products associating to the
Cisco 1500 as a workgroup bridge (WGB). These two feature updates allow the MAR to act as a client
to the 1500 Mesh AP networks or Light Weight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) WLAN networks
enabling new solutions for public safety, commercial transportation, and defense markets. The MAR not
only has Fast Ethernet and Serial interface connections for other client devices, but can also use them to
connect to other network devices for backhaul purposes.
