From: stuie_norris on 5 Sep 2009 07:57 Hi Group, I have a Cisco 1801 router the I use for wired connections on my local network. I would like to install a Aironet device so I have have wireless connections. I am particularly interested in the Cisco 1142n Aironet on Cisco's web site (AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9). Apart from N support the PoE suits where I would like to install the access point. I know I would need the AIR-PWRINJ4= for the PoE injector. Is it possible to setup the Aironet 1142n to work directly with a Cisco 1801 router / switch or do I need additional equipment? Thanks Stuart

For an AIR-LAPxxx you will need a Wireless LAN Controller, or get the AIR-APxxxx configured as autonomous IOS. -- ULi

You obtain the autonomous IOS image from Cisco CCO if you have a maintenance contract, or go for google foo to find it. Then you flash the box with the new code. You'll have to get to an undocumented boot menu that has been mentioned in this group several times. >Do you need a Wireless LAN Controller to do this? No, if you had a wireless LAN controller, you'd probably use the LAP image you had. >Must the device be purchased in the autonomous IOS format? That would certainly be the easier way if thats the way you wanted to run it.

The AIR-AP model of the AP1142 (i.e. the model with autonomous IOS preinstalled) isn't orderable yet, but should be pretty soon (stay tuned.) You could buy the AIR-LAP model (i.e. the one with lightweight IOS preinstalled) now, then install autonomous IOS on it when the code is released. You wouldn't be able to do anything with it till then (unless you have a WLC), but I suppose it might "get you on the air" faster than if you had to wait till the AIR-AP model is orderable. Aaron |
