Overview
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points combine mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class
features required by networking professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software,
the 1240AG series access point is a Wi-Fi certified, wireless LAN transceiver.
The access point contains two integrated radios: a 2.4-GHz radio (IEEE 802.11g) and a 5-GHz radio
(IEEE 802.11a). You can configure the radios separately, using different settings on each.
The access point connects wireless and wired networks or is the center point of a stand-alone wireless
network. In large installations, wireless users within radio range of an access point can roam throughout
a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.
You can configure and monitor the access point using the command-line interface (CLI), the
browser-based management system, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), or Cisco
Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN).
