1.You should check the release notes for your Cisco power source to determine which Cisco IOS release supports Intelligent Power Management. Support for Intelligent Power Management might not be currently available for your Cisco power source.

2.Power injector must be AIR-PWRINJ3 or AIR-PWRINJ-FIB.

3.Cisco switches that support Intelligent Power Management always configure the use of a power injector at the switch.

Manually Configuring Controller Information Using the Access Point CLI

In a new installation, when your access point is unable to reach a DHCP server, you can manually configure needed controller information using the access point CLI. For information on how to connect to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Access Point Console Port” section on page 4-12.

Note The CLI commands in this section can be used only on an access point that is not associated to a controller.

The static information configured with the CLI commands are used by the access point to connect with a controller. After connecting with the controller, the controller reconfigures the access point with new controller settings, but the static IP addresses for the access point and the default gateway are not changed.

The access point incorporates advanced technologies such as IEEE 802.11a/g standards, which ensure compatibility with a wide array of wireless clients, ensuring widespread accessibility. The 1130AG also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This feature not only streamlines setup but also enhances flexibility, as access points can be installed in locations where power sources are limited.

Security is a paramount concern in wireless networking, and the Cisco 1130AG addresses this through robust security protocols. It supports WPA, WPA2, and other encryption standards, ensuring secure data transmission and protecting against unauthorized access. This is particularly important for organizations that handle sensitive information and require strict compliance with data protection regulations.

Another notable characteristic is the ability of the 1130AG to seamlessly integrate with Cisco's extensive range of network management tools such as Cisco Prime, allowing administrators to monitor and manage their wireless network effectively. This integration provides insights into network performance, user access patterns, and device health, enabling proactive management and troubleshooting.

Moreover, the access point's compact design and durability make it suitable for various deployment scenarios. Designed to withstand varying environmental conditions, the 1130AG can be installed in demanding settings without compromising reliability.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems 1130AG access point embodies advanced features and technologies that cater to the needs of modern businesses. Its dual-band capabilities, strong security protocols, and ease of management, alongside its durable design, make it an essential component for creating a high-performing wireless network. Whether in office buildings, educational institutions, or hospitality venues, the 1130AG provides the performance and reliability necessary to support today’s connected world.
