Description
Performance and throughput
The performance and throughput of the AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 1261N wireless access point depend on several factors, including the number of devices connected, the distance from the access point, and the quality of the wireless signal. However, the access point is designed to provide high performance and throughput in a variety of environments.
The AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 supports 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi standards and can provide speeds of up to 300 Mbps. The access point also has two dual-band omnidirectional antennas, which provide excellent signal coverage and help to minimize interference from other wireless devices.
The access point can support up to 16 BSSIDs (Basic Service Set Identifiers), which allows multiple virtual wireless networks to be created using a single access point. This feature is useful for providing separate wireless networks for different user groups or applications.
The AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 also supports Quality of Service (QoS), which helps to prioritize network traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth. This feature is particularly useful for voice and video applications, which require high-quality, low-latency connections.
Range and coverage
The range and coverage of the AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 1261N wireless access point depend on several factors, including the type of environment, the number of obstructions, the transmission power, and the antenna design. However, the access point is designed to provide excellent range and coverage in a variety of environments.
The AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 has two dual-band omnidirectional antennas, which provide a broad coverage pattern in all directions. The antennas can be adjusted to provide optimal signal strength in a particular direction, allowing network administrators to fine-tune the coverage area.
The access point also supports transmission power control, which allows the power output of the access point to be adjusted to provide optimal coverage while minimizing interference with other wireless devices.
In an indoor environment, the AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 can provide coverage for up to 300 feet (91 meters) and can support up to 64 concurrent users. In an outdoor environment, the range can be extended to up to 1000 feet (305 meters) with the use of external antennas.
Integration with Cisco network infrastructure
The AIR-LAP1261N-A-K9 Cisco Aironet 1261N Wireless Access Point can be integrated with Cisco network infrastructure using several methods. Here are some possible steps to follow:
- Connect the Access Point to a power source using the provided power supply.
- Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Access Point and connect the other end of the cable to a switch or router on your network.
- Assign an IP address to the Access Point by logging into your DHCP server or manually configuring the IP address on the Access Point using the console cable and CLI interface.
- Configure the Access Point to join your wireless network. You can do this by using a web browser and connecting to the Access Point’s default IP address or by using the CLI interface. Once connected, you will need to configure the Access Point with the appropriate security settings and SSID information.
- Monitor the Access Point’s status and performance using the Cisco wireless controller software. This software allows you to manage multiple Access Points from a centralized location and provides real-time information on the health of your wireless network.
