Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Platform
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access point platform is the basic electronic chassis of the AP. When populated with at
least one radio module, the platform then provides the infrastructure for a Wireless LAN.
The platform supports:
• Simultaneous, dual-band operations with interfaces for mini-PCI and CardBus radios
• Dual RP-TNC connectors for external 2.4 GHz antennas (antennas are sold separately)
• 10/100 Auto-Sensing Ethernet uplink
• Powering from Cisco in-line power over Ethernet (CDP) or local power supply
• Console access
The platform ships with a 110-220 VDC local power supply. It is available with either the VxWorks or Cisco IOS
operating systems.
