Wifi Short-Range Access Point - Cisco 1240 Hardware Installation Manual

Hardware Features Detailed Description

WiFi Short-Range Access Point

The router features an integrated, short-range WiFi access point to support a wireless console connection
to the router. Generally, the router is installed on a pole above the ground, which makes a wired console
connection impractical during router operation.
The WiFi connection is available only when the system software is operating. If the system software is
not operating, you cannot use the WiFi connection to connect to or administer the router.
WiFi Hardware
The CGR 1240 router is equipped with an 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz radio that works as the access point to
provide WiFi connectivity to the router. The WiFi hardware is a Broadcom BCM4325 chipset based
radio with an external WiFi antenna.
