performance and range to let employees access business applications and transfer large files easily and
reliably. The built-in clustering capabilities also mean that you can add more access points easily as your
business grows.

Wireless voice communications
As a Cisco Small Business Pro Series wireless solution, the Cisco AP 541N is designed to fully integrate with
other Cisco Small Business Pro Series network and voice over IP solutions, and with the Cisco SBCS IP
telephony system. Using the access point’s clustering capabilities and integrated roaming features, you can
quickly deploy multiple access points and help ensure reliable voice connectivity anywhere in your business,
even as employees move from one access point to another. Using the dual-band option, you can also
connect all employee laptops and IP phones over the 5-GHz radio band and eliminate interference from other
common 2.4-GHz wireless devices.
These use cases are enabled by highly secure, powerful Cisco Small Business Pro Series wireless
capabilities. The solution can be set up and configured in minutes.
Features and Benefits
The Cisco AP 541N provides:
●
Robust wireless coverage and performance: The Cisco AP 541N is an 802.11n multiple-input, multiple-
output (MIMO) dual-band wireless solution. The 802.11n wireless standard builds on previous-generation
(802.11a/b/g) wireless technologies to deliver greater range and reliability, and up to nine times the
performance. Where previous wireless technologies communicate over a single stream and antenna,
Wireless-N MIMO solutions transmit and receive over multiple antennas to provide much greater resiliency
and data throughput. With the ability to configure the access point for either the 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz frequency,
you can realize greater wireless capacity and a cleaner signal, with less interference.
●
Advanced clustering intelligence: Clustering is the ability of a wireless access point to form a dynamic,
configuration-aware group (called a cluster) with other similarly designed access points in the same network
and subnet. All access points in the cluster self-organize, cloning configuration settings from one access
point to another and balancing wireless channels to minimize radio interference. The cluster also provides a
single point of administration, allowing you to configure and manage all access points as a single wireless
network, rather than as a collection of individual devices -- without the need for a wireless controller. Types of
information shared within the cluster include:
◦
Wireless network identifier (SSID)
◦
Security features, such as encryption settings, access lists, and MAC address filters
◦
User names and passwords
◦
Quality of service (QoS) settings
◦
Radio settings
◦
Wireless interface settings
◦
Guest welcome screen
●
Highly secure guest access: In a world where technology touches virtually every aspect of business
operations, vendors and customers often need to access the Internet when visiting your business location.
The Cisco AP 541N includes an easy-to-follow graphical user interface (GUI) to guide you through the setup
of a guest network. This highly secure guest access solution lets visitors get online without granting them any
visibility into your business network and without impeding the performance of your business applications. The
solution even lets you provide a welcome screen to greet visitors using your guest network (it could be a
welcome screen or company policy).
