Q. Are the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1260 Series UL 2043 plenum rated?
A. Yes. UL 2043 is a standard specified by Underwriters Laboratories. In the United States, most municipal
building codes require certain UL certifications for equipment used in buildings. Municipalities often specify UL
2043 certification for equipment used in the plenum air spaces. Municipalities also define what they consider
to be plenum air space. In some U.S. municipalities, the plenum air space includes only the area above a
suspended ceiling. In others, the area below the suspended ceiling may also be considered the plenum area.
Q. What client devices are compatible with the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1260 Series?
A. The Cisco Aironet 1140 and1260 Series are interoperable with any 802.11n draft 2.0, 802.11a, 802.11b, or
802.11g Wi-Fi-certified clients. Cisco has also conducted extensive testing to ensure interoperability with
enterprise-class 802.11n draft 2.0 clients from leading manufacturers such as Intel and other major silicon
vendors. Cisco has also completed Intel’s Connect with Centrino compatibility testing program to help ensure
high performance and complete interoperability between our respective next-generation 802.11n draft 2.0
solutions. In addition, Cisco clients and third-party Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) clients enjoy
the enhanced wireless security and mobility capabilities provided by the Cisco Unified Wireless Network
solution.
Q. Will the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1260 Series support the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921?
A. Yes. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921 is Wi-Fi-compliant and will interoperate with any Wi-Fi-
compliant access point, including the Cisco Aironet 1260 Series. The 802.11n standard ensures backwards
compatibility for 802.11a/b/g devices.
Q. Will my current WLAN controllers support the Cisco Aironet 1140 and 1260 Series?
A. All currently shipping WLAN controllers support the Cisco Aironet 1260 Series. These include:
●
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Modules for Integrated Services Routers
●
Cisco 2500 Series Wireless LAN Controller
●
Cisco 5508 Series Wireless LAN Controller
●
Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless LAN Controller
●
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module2
Q. What considerations do I need to take into account when designing my controller infrastructure?
A. With a wide range of WLAN controllers to choose from, flexible controller deployment options, and ‘n+1’
controller scalability, Cisco’s Unified Wireless Network is designed to support both a gradual migration to
802.11n as well as an immediate large scale 802.11n deployment. This scale-as-you-grow flexibility is an
ideal solution for customers looking for a flexible, customized solution for their pervasive wireless
deployments. As customers migrate from 802.11a/b/g deployment to 802.11n, no major redesign or re-
architecture is needed for most customer deployments.
Q. Does the Cisco Aironet 1260 Series support bridging and backhaul functions, in addition to its access point
function?
A. Yes. When operating in the standalone (autonomous) mode, the Cisco Aironet 1260 Series supports link role
flexibility, providing both access point and bridge functions through configuration of each radio as an access
point, repeater, root bridge, non-root bridge, or workgroup bridge (Table 2). This array of configuration
flexibility enables the Cisco Aironet 1260 Series to address applications including basic wireless LAN
coverage, wireless LAN coverage with wireless backhaul, and more traditional bridging applications.
