amplifier stage. This final amplifier stage is the power amplifier (PA).
For Cisco Aironet equipment, the transmitter power output is 100 milliwatts (mW) for the
350 Series and 30 mW for the 340 Series. Damage is unlikely, but possible. If you need to run
the devices without antennae, turn the transmitter power down to 1 mW. Also, you can use
a 502 ohm dummy load (attenuator) to be safe. Cisco always recommends that you use
proper antennas with the wireless devices. Some wireless devices come with integrated
antennas whereas others need an external antenna. Refer to Cisco Aironet Antennas and
Accessories Reference Guide for a detailed list of the antennas and accessories that Cisco
offers.

Caution: Never connect the antenna port of one device directly into the antenna port of
another device. This type of connection can damage the devices.

A. Refer to Cisco Aironet AP for information on Cisco Aironet APs.
Q. What are lightweight APs (LAPs)? How are they different from other
Cisco Aironet APs?
Cisco Aironet APs?
A. LAPs are part of the Cisco unified Wireless Network Architecture. A LAP is an AP that is
designed to be connected to a Wireless LAN (WLAN) controller (WLC). A LAP cannot
function independently of the WLC. The LAP provides dual band support for IEEE 802.11a,
802.11b, and 802.11g. The LAP also provides simultaneous air monitoring for dynamic,
real−time radio frequency (RF) management. In addition, Cisco Aironet 1000 Series LAPs
handle time−sensitive functions, such as Layer 2 encryption, that enable Cisco WLANs to
securely support voice, video, and data applications.
