ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS. THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY. The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Ciscos installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Modifying the equipment without Ciscos written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense. You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures: Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio. Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio. Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.) Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Autonomous Access Point

This section lists the 1250 series autonomous access point (model: AIR-AP1251) 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz (draft IEEE 802.11n version 2.0) radio channels and maximum power levels supported by the worlds regulatory domains. The following topics are covered in this section:

Channels and Maximum Power Levels, page 5-2 Special Country Restrictions, page 5-17 Changing Autonomous Access Point Output Power, page 5-17
5-1

Note
The access point has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the product hardware installation guide and having a maximum gain of 10 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 6 dBi for 5 GHz. Antennas not included in this list or having a higher gain are strictly prohibited for use with the access point. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Note
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than required for successful communication.
2.4 GHz Band (Draft IEEE 802.11n Version 2.0)

An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table 5-1 indicates the channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and maximum power levels for each channel allowed by the A regulatory domain for a 2.4-GHz radio with up to 10-dBi antennas.

Changing the Autonomous Access Point/Bridge Output Power

This section provides instructions for changing the autonomous access point/bridge output power to comply with the maximum power limits imposed by regulatory domains (see the Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains section on page 6-2). Follow these instructions to change the output power settings using your browser:
Note
Administrator privileges may be required in order to change access point/bridge settings.
Note
Note
To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point/bridge unit and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
Enter the access point/bridge IP address into your browsers address or location line and press Enter. An Enter Network Password screen appears. Enter your username (default Cisco) in the User Name field. Enter the access point/bridge password (default Cisco) in the Password field and press Enter. The Summary Status page appears. Click Network Interfaces and the network interface menu appears. Click Radio0-802.11G and the 802.11G Status screen appears. Click the Settings tab and the settings screen appears. Based on the external antenna gain, the operating channel, and the regulatory domain, you might need to reduce the actual transmit power for the access point so that the specific country regulations are not exceeded (see the Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains section on page 6-2). For example:
EMEA (E) regulatory domain

Channel 2 operation 5.2 dBi external antenna For 802.11b (CCK) data rates (see Table 6-2), the maximum transmit power level is 20 mW. For 802.11g (OFDM) data rates (see Table 6-2), the maximum transmit power level is 20 mW.
Under CCK Transmit Power (mW), click the maximum CCK power allowed for your antenna in your regulatory region (see Table 6-2). Under OFDM Transmit Power (mW), click the maximum OFDM power allowed for your antenna in your regulatory region (see Table 6-2). Click Apply. Close your browser.
