•Web Server—This setting specifies the type of HTTP used to access the access point using a web browser.

–Standard (HTTP)—Standard protocol used to transfer HTML using unencrypted traffic between web browsers.

–Secure (HTTPS)—Protocol used to transfer secure data by using encrypted traffic to and from the user by means of a Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

•SNMP Community—The SNMP Community setting identifies and sets attributes for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) used to manage the network on which the access point resides.

–Read-Only—Access point allows only SNMP read access.

–Read-Write—Access point allows read and write access.

Configuring the Radios

Your 1140 series access point includes two internal radios, which must be configured

individually in Express Setup. Select the role, optimization setting, and extension capabilities for Radio0 (802.11N2.4GHz) and Radio1 (802.11N5GHz).

•Role in Radio Network—Determines what function each radio in the access point performs in the wireless network.

–Access Point—Specifies that the unit operates as an access point connected to the main Ethernet LAN network. In this mode, wireless clients associate to the access point.

–Repeater—Specifies that the unit operates as a repeater access point not connected to Ethernet LAN. In this mode, wireless clients associate to the access point.

–Root Bridge—Specifies that the unit operates as a root bridge and connects directly to the main Ethernet LAN. In this mode, the unit accepts associations from other Cisco Aironet non-root bridges and wireless client devices.

–Workgroup Bridge—Specifies that the unit operates as a workgroup bridge connected to a small wired Ethernet LAN network through an Ethernet hub or switch. The workgroup bridge must associate to a Cisco Aironet access point or bridge.

–Scanner—Specifies that the unit is configured by a Cisco WLSE and operates as a scanner and reports network traffic to the Cisco WLSE.

•Optimize Radio Network For—Optimizes the access point radio performance in the wireless network by adjusting data rates. This setting must match the setting on the clients.
