FYI - this still appears to be an LWAPP recovery/upgrade image...how can they get away with not having IOS? What about Hybrid Mode support?

I've got an AP1140 for eval and the biggest reason that I haven't done more with it is because it requires version 5.2 software on the Wireless Lan Controllers. Look back a month or so in the list archives for the religious wars about 4.2 vs 5.x, etc. The AP1142 is more aesthetically pleasing and a bit cheaper than the AP1252 so I'm sure we'll end up using them eventually just like we switched from AP1200 to AP1130s when the AP1130s came out. It's just a matter of getting to the 5.2 code, which has some significant changes in how you select which APs carry which SSIDs. WLAN override is either gone or different in 5.2. I think you're supposed to use WLAN AP Groups instead. The Cisco PWRINJ3 power injectors that we use for the AP1200 and AP1130 do not work with the AP1140 so you have to buy the more expensive PWRINJ4 unless you have 802.1af capable POE switches or some other power injector (mid-span) solution. Also, there is no IOS (thick) version of code for the AP1140 which makes site-surveying with it considerably more difficult. I guess you have to lug a controller around with you or otherwise arrange for connectivity from a survey AP back to a controller. Alternatives there include predictive site surveys, surveying with an AP1250 and hoping that they are similar, or just guessing at AP placement. BTW, there is a pricing promotion on the ten-pack of AP1142s through the end of April. I think it's 10% off on the APs but the power injectors are not discounted so its a little less than 10% off overall. -- Earl Barfield -- Academic & Research Tech / Information Technology Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 Internet: [email protected] [email protected] ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
