The Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series Access Point is a dual-radio 802.11a and 802.11g access point that provides the versatility, high capacity, and enterprise-class features demanded by wireless LAN customers. The mini-PCI interface supports the 802.11g radio that operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, while the CardBus interface supports an IEEE 802.11a radio module operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. This access point may only be ordered as a preconfigured bundle, which includes the access point platform in addition to both 802.11a and 802.11g radio modules. Selection of a country power cord is required, and options for an inline power injector and console cable are available through the Cisco Configuration Tool.
The Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series may be ordered with Cisco IOS Software to operate as an autonomous AP or with Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP). When the 1230AG is operating as a lightweight AP a WLAN controller is required. When ordering the access point, the software image version must be selected in the configuration option. At the completion of configuration, the product will arrive fully assembled.
2.4 GHz antennas are not included with the 802.11g radio modules; they must be identified under a separate order line item and purchased separately. Similarly, the 802.11a radio module has dual RP-TNC antenna connectors, which require auxiliary 5 GHz antennas that are not included and must be ordered separately.
