Cisco Aironet Series 3700 Access Point
Features not supported in the module
MFP–Management Frame Protection
CCX–Cisco Compatible Extensions (Integrated 5 GHz radio handles these requests)
IAPP (used to connect WGBs and their clients)–no WGB support.
You can connect a WGB in WGBu (universal) mode, because it essentially behaves like a standard client,
Note
but no WGBC support. Also, not supported are SE-Connect, Mesh, and Monitor and Autonomous
modes.
Understanding 802.11ac and the AP 3700 (Wave-1)
The AP 3700 series is a dual band AP with integrated 802.11ac Wave-1 radio freeing up the feature
module for more options and flexibility. The AP 3700 contains the same industry leading architecture
4X4:3 found in the AP 3600. With additional features and functionality such as ClientLink 3.0 as well
as the option to use external antennas with 802.11ac applications, the AP 3700 is indeed Cisco's best of
breed AP.
The AP 3700 runs at 800 MHz w/512 MB of RAM running a purpose built Cisco Custom Application
Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This custom chip incorporates Spectrum Intelligence, ClientLink 3.0
along with proprietary Cisco IP for data plane hardware acceleration.
The AP 3700 is a robust AP with full metal shielding requiring no vent holes and is water resistant. This
AP is suitable for medical environments where cleaning chemicals may be used. Note that the feature
module is also well shielded from the rest of the AP with areas open on the sides for the feature module
antennas to properly radiate. The AP 3700 is of course upgradeable to the 802.11ac Wave-2 via option
module.
Antennas on the AP 3700 radiate in much the same way as the AP 3600 patterns for both are in this guide
