Q.
Is the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series WPA2-compliant?
A.
Yes. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is WPA2-compliant. WPA2 is the second generation of WPA specified
by the Wi-Fi Alliance industry organization, and is based on the IEEE 802.11i standard for wireless LAN
security. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is backward-compatible with clients certified for the first-generation
WPA (which provided security enhancements to the Wired Equivalent Privacy [WEP] algorithm), as well as with
clients certified for the original WEP security.

Q.
How does the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series compare to the Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series when
configured as a dual-band access point?
A.
The key differences between the two series is that the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is a non-modular dual-band
802.11a/b/g access point, whereas the Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series is a modular platform providing 802.11g-
only, 802.11a-only, or dual-band 802.11a/g configuration. Of course, the non-modular dual-band Cisco Aironet
1240AG Series can be configured to operate as either single-band or dual-band access point.
Additionally, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), in addition to
the power sources supported on the Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series, including Cisco inline power switches, Cisco
single-port power injectors, and local power.

Q.
How does the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series compare to the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series?
A.
Both series offer dual-band access points designed for the enterprise, both support interoperable
802.11i/WPA2-enhanced wireless LAN security.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is designed for greater flexibility. Dual antenna connectors for both the 2.4-
and 5-GHz bands support a range of antenna gains and coverage patterns. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is
designed for more challenging RF environments, with a die-cast metal enclosure and operability in a wider
temperature range than the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series.

The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series is designed for indoor office environments, providing rugged diversity
antennas with omnidirectional coverage for both the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands. The antennas are integrated into the
design, resulting in an unobtrusive form.

Q.
How does the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series compare to Cisco Aironet 1000 Series access points?
A.
Both series offer similar features required for enterprise applications, such as dual-band 802.11a/g access and
802.11i/WPA2-enhanced wireless LAN security.
While the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is available to support either Cisco IOS Software or the Lightweight
Access Point Protocol (LWAPP), the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series only supports LWAPP.

the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series provides good radio frequency performance, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series
offers industry-leading performance.

The metal mounting bracket for the Cisco Aironet AP1240AG is designed to provide secure mounting, via use of
a small padlock (customer supplied), and offers cable management channels, Ethernet and console port
security, and resent button protection, whereas the mounting bracket for the Cisco Aironet 1000 Series is
comprised of two small plastic mounting brackets without offering any of the benefits afforded by the Cisco
Aironet AP1240AG mounting bracket.

Q.
Is the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series part of the Cisco Wireless Security Suite?
A.
Yes. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is part of the award-winning Cisco Wireless Security Suite, which
supports 802.11i, WPA2, WPA, and numerous Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2
are the Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. These certifications
