Cisco Wireless :: AP1552 Link Calculator To Determine Coverage Area Of AP Deployment
May 14, 2013
I used the AP 1552 Link Calculator to determine the coverage area of my AP deployment, however I have some concerns.I would like to know what the maximum radio range refers to when using an omni-directional antenna. Is this distance the radius or diameter of the coverage area? [code]
In an idle situation how much area is covered by a cisco 3502i acceccpoint , I understand there are many factor that will effect this , thats why I am adking in idle situation , I am looking for a number is square feet.
I've been tasked with providing wireless coverage for an outdoor courtyard. The wireless that bleeds out into the courtyard is minimal for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I'm thinking a 3502p mounted just inside the wall hooked to a ANT25137NP-R patch antenna mount on an exterior wall. The red line on the wall will represent the antenna mounted on the wall. This will be providing coverage for phones on 5Ghz and general devices on 2.4.
I am facing this particular issue while providing Cisco unified Wireless solution to the customer. We are having CAPWAP 1252 APs controlled by WLC.
Scenario: 50 persons sitting in a hall with closely packed chairs using wireless simultaneously. Wireless access provided by patch antenna at a height of 11m from the user. As one AP can server 25 users, 2 APs are placed with antenna directions facing the compact users. Each users gets very good signal from these two APs.
Whether there will be serious interference and client association issues in this scenario? once one AP associates 25 clients, whether other 25 clients associate completely to other AP?
i have an Outdoor Area covered by Cisco Wireless LAN Solution (WCS,WLC,1550AP root and Mesh lightweight). I need to disable power transmission for some of these APs in the 2..4GHz.I tried two possible way, but both are not working:
1) Set the power of 802.11g/g/n to 0. There is no such option (power can be set manually from 1 to 5 and, as per the documentation, each level is a reduction of 3dB. Therefore, even if i put to the minimum, i cannot guarantee that there is no utilization of the 2.4GHz spectrum).
2) Define an AP group containing these APs and don't add any SSID. Is not possible because at least one SSID must be added on each AP group.
Working solution/setting in AP/WLC/WCS to avoid transmission in 2.4GHZ? Otherwise the only solution is to power them off?
We are looking to deploy an indoor mesh deployment in an area where radar might be an issue.know that when using 1500 series APs you cannot choose UNII-1 channels even if they are deployed indoors.My question is if you can use a UNII-1 backhaul with indoor APs (3600 series for example) in an indoor mesh deployment.
We have just finished installation of 12 AP 1552 as access points , clients are 7925G phone , after installation and configuration all clients can register and access to AP's in wireless environment but in IP we can't access to phones from our servers.For your information all phones and AP's and Ct5508 Controller are same subnet .We need install and configuer all 1552 just as Access points in 2.4Ghz , we don't need any mesh configuration.As for test we tried to connect to network by Laptop PC , it connected to access points but no network .
My router (D-LINK DIR-655) is in the living room under my TV in a cabinet with the lid closed (i would like to keep it that way, because the DIR-655 has the brightest led lights ever). My ground floor coverage is decent except in my back yard where i only get 1 bar or lose signal (we are talking about 10-15m distance). I am using mixed G & N mode with auto 20/40 MHz. In the past i had full bars in my back yard using a Linksys WRT54GL (Wireless-G) with DD-WRT firmware.
I have the following devices connected on my router: ISP MODEM / DREAMBOX / HTPC / DNS-325 / TV
1st Floor: I don't have any wireless coverage here, sometimes one bar but keeps dropping. This is where i would like to expand my wireless coverage in the whole floor.
2nd Floor: Here is my attic which i don't basically need any wireless. My main concern is in the 1st floor.
I am expanding coverage in a big outdoor area.Most of the area is covered with AP1552 with AIR-ANT2506 5,2 db antennas.At the border of the area i have some masts where i can place ap's.Would it make sense to use directional antenna's there? I have a big open area where it is not possible to place ap's.The only placement is a mast in the middle of the area.I have a AP1552 with 5,2 db antennas there.Can i get better coverage if i place 3 or 4 ap's with directional antennas ?Or should i try with a 12dBi AIR-ANT24120 ?
Region : India Model : TL-MR3040 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : 3.14.2 Build 120822 Rel.40902n ISP : Aircel (chennai, India)
Recently I bought a TP-Link 3G portable battery powered router ( model no: TL-MR3040).After connecting I get this status: please see picture ( file name 1)
1.jpg: My problems are: I cant find Aircel Network provider(Chennai , India) in the Mobile ISP list, As you can see the second picture below I can see all network providers except Aircel Network Provider : Please see the picture 2 ( file name is 2)
2.jpg and frequently disconnecting and very very poor Wireless coverage (less than 10 feet) I have sent many mails to TP-Link technical support team. I didnt get a single reply from them.
Should the DIR-655 list all devices that are accessing either my WAN or another device on the LAN, assuming there are no other switches on the network, and all traffic is going through the DIR-655?
I was trying to determine the IP, and MAC address of an AT&T Microcell connected to my network. I have no physical access to Microcell. I have been able to find the IP address, in the logs of the DIR-655, but nowhere else. Shouldn't it be listed under SETUP -> NETWORK SETTINGS -> NUMBER OF DYNAMIC DHCP CLIENTS?
I am not able to browse my local area network. I get internet fine. I have a vista laptop connecting wirelessly and the dir-655 is connected to a giga switch. The rest of my network is connected to that switch.
I have an AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9, serial number FTX1623B0RX. I just need to know how old this unit is. (I haven't attached it to our Cisco account, so I can't open a TAC for it.)
Boot Version 12.4.13.0 IOS Version 12.4(23c)JA5Mini IOS Version 3.0.51.0
The support and registration pages for the E4200 wireless router ask whether I have a V1 or V2 router. There is no place on the actual router that identifies it as V1 or V2, and the Cisco Connect application doesn't display this infomation either. What I do know is the following:
Model name: Linksys E4200 Model number: E4200 Serial number: 01C10C18104423 Firmware version: 1.0.03 build 14 Software version: 1.4.12005.2
How do I determine if this is a V1 or V2 router? The software updates are version specific.
I have a client devices constantly sending data (~ 13 kb per second) to a server through a Cisco AP1241AG (802.11g).I use Iperf to test throughput, but I am having a difficult time determining what an acceptable throughput rate would be.I know in "theory" the best throughput rate I could get is 54 Mbps, but since my client devices only send 13 kbps is 1 Mbps more than enough? or is 13 kbps the low limit for my throughput test?
need to know the OSPF best design. I have a customer currently running their OSPF only in two area. Area 0 is provider reside and area 1 reside 700 hundred over of router including HQ router and remote branch router connecting to metro-E 10Mbps networks. Is this design have any weakness? Area 1 about 800 hundred router reside in, the HQ model is cisco router 7200 and remote end is cisco router 1841.Let's say they want a solution, for 3G remote router connect back to the HQ using Lease line with a fixed IP. Using DMVPN and OSPF communicating back to HQ. What should we aware when designing and implementing for the OSPF best practice. They have 700 hundred over remote branch need to terminate back to their HQ. I read cisco recommend an area should not be more than 50 router and per-area no more than 28 area.
I have a decent sized wireless network (120 1142 access points on a 5500 WLC) and any tips for maximizing the coverage. I know the only REAL way to fill true holes is to deploy more hardware, but I'm not sure if my WLC is configured properly to maximize the hardware already deployed. We have having a lot of issues with low signal in areas I feel are close enough to the AP that they should be good if not excellent signals. Our initial walkthrough and testing of the areas indicated that the APs we deployed SHOULD have been more than enough, but in real-world conditions it seems like it's not cutting the mustard.
I have to separate internet providers and two different modems (one brand new!) - they both appear to be working fine but I can't get any internet coverage - neither on my macbook air, Mac nor my HP netbook. All say ethernet cable unplugges. I have been on tech support with both providers all morning, and now with a tech guy in the house for the last 2 hours and all indications are that the modems work
I have a custom that needs to deploy a wireless solution, in attach plan, does not want a solution with WLAN controller.I proposed a solution with AIR-AP1024N-E-K9. What solution should implement in order to have a good coverage? Repeater, bridge point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or something else ?
I am not very computer literate, so this will seem like a stupid question. How do I determine whether a computer has wireless connectivity?
I have a Dell Dimension 9200 running Windows Vista that I bought in 2007. Previously, I have connected it to the internet using an ethernet cable to my router, but this is no longer possible now that my new computer is using the ethernet connection. I want to establish a wireless connection between my older Dell Dimension 9200 and my router, but I don't know how to find out whether the computer is capable of wireless connectivity.
I have an E1000 linksys router. I am trying to determine the admin password. I have looked at seeral entries regarding this. I do not have CICSO connect installed. Not sure why. The router works fine. I have the CD that came with the router. I have also downloaded current version of connect software. Both of them want to config the router. The first item asked for is the admin password. I know I press reset button. I am trying to retrieve password without doing that.
I have two 1130 AGs and would like to have one connected to a wired net with wireless clients on the G radio, and connected to the other using the A radio, and it having clients on it G radio.
We did wireless coverage testing using some 1142 units in autonomous mode, and got a satisfactory result, but upon converting these test units to Lightweight and adding them to our WLC5508 controller, the coverage has decreased noticeably.
Any tips or tricks to getting lightweight 1142 APs to have a range as far as the same hardware with autonomous firmware?
I've been asked to implement a point to multipoint solution which I had never done before.My question is how many non roots can the root support?I am planning to use 1310 bride as root with a AIR-ANT24120 and non roots AP1242 with AIR-ANT2410Y-R they wont be longer than 1 km.
