C H A P T E R Overview The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point (hereafter called the access point) delivers a cost-effective, reliable, secure, and easily managed wireless LAN solution for enterprise customers and for small and medium sized businesses. The access point is designed to incorporate new technology enhancements as they become available.
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in two of the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands and supporting up to 8 channels: UNII 1—Frequency range is 5.15 to 5.25 GHz • UNII 2—Frequency range is 5.25 to 5.35 GHz • Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide, OL-2155-02 OL-7043-02...
– A 1200 series power module (Universal power supply) • The 1200 series power injectors are designed for use with Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points only. Caution Using the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage the equipment.
Access Point Specifications, page 1-10). If you plan to mount the access point in environmental air space using a 5-GHz radio, Cisco recommends Note that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so results in the access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space with the 5-GHz radio installed.

FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that Warning a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
