Hi,
Could you guys please tell me the differences between the 1000 series and the 1100 series access points. We are using the WiSM and my boss has asked which are better to use?
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
There is no concrete answer as to which AP is better. The 1000 series and 1100 series are both excellent products, that can be successfully deployed in most environments.The 1130 can be run as an IOS or LWAPP AP,while the 1000 series is stricly LWAPP.The 1130 has only built in antennas while the 1020 comes with RP-TNC antenna connectors that will allow flexibility in deployment models. The 1130 and 1000 series support different POE options which might influence your direction.If you are thinking about connecting a remote office to your wireless network then the 1030 is the way to go. Have a look at these links that may point out more of the simmilarities and differences for you;

Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Q&A
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6087/products_qanda_item0900aecd801b9189.shtml
Here are some of the differences for comparison;
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series is compliant with IEEE 802.3af. The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series is also compliant with Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series is ready to install and easy to manage, reducing the cost of deployment and ongoing maintenance. The device is available in either a lightweight version, or as an autonomous version that may be field-upgraded to lightweight operation.
The Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series has 3.0 and 4.5-dBi integrated diversity antennas for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, respectively. These antennas are integrated into the design-there are no separate antenna options.
The Cisco 1000 Series supports local or inline power. Inline power is provided via a Cisco 802.3af inline power-capable switch or by using the 802.3af Cisco 1000 Series Power Injector. The Cisco 1000 Series does not support Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet.
Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points must be used in conjunction with a Cisco wireless LAN controller, which is responsible for handling system-level wireless LAN functions such as security, RF management, wireless LAN configuration, and mobility.
All 1000 Series models are dual-band 802.11a/b/g lightweight access points that support integrated antennas in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands. The 1020 model is equipped with RP-TNC antenna connectors in addition to dual-band internal antennas. The 1030 Remote-Edge Access Points (REAP) support the same antenna options as 1020 model lightweight access points, but can be connected over a WAN to a centrally located wireless LAN controller. The 1030 model is ideal for extending unified wireless LAN services to remote enterprise facilities.
Hope this helps!

AP1020 is not powering up when plugged to WS-C3550-24PWR-SMI.
On the same switch AIR-LAP1131AG-A-K9 and IP Phone 7940 do power up.
What is the diff? Not sure what PoJ do 1020 use? I tried AIR-PWRINJ3 and still same issue.

Hi Prasanna,
The problem here is that the 3550 only provides Cisco "Pre-standard" PoE and the 1020 requires IEEE 802.3af PoE
Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af)
Customers deploying access points that are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE) must separately order the power supply (AIR-PWR-1000=) or Cisco 802.3af power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=) and associated power cord.

Yes that was the issue.
Customer purchased AP1020 some time ago and now SW does not support it and AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF= is EOL!!!
Thanks!

An specific associated power cord?
05-20-2009 05:14 AM
Hi Prasanna,
Yes, like any Power Injector you would need a Power cord that is "standard" for your country. This is the same type of cord that will connect Cisco switches etc. The "plugs" on these cords are different in North America vs Great Britain for example :)
Hope this helps!

To power the AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF can we use AIR-PWR-A? Or do we have to use AIR-PWR-1000?
05-20-2009 09:55 AM
Hi Prasanna,
Don't forget this is an either/or solution :)
Customers deploying access points that are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE) must separately order the power supply (AIR-PWR-1000=) **or Cisco 802.3af power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=) and associated power cord.
If you order the AIR-PWR-1000= you won't need the Power Injector. This sounds like a nice solution.
Hope this helps!

When not using the POE to power 1131AG we use AIR-PWRINJ3 with power supply AIR-PWR-A
So doesn't AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF= also need a power supply? If yes then can we use AIR-PWR-1000= (need to buy) or AIR-PWR-A?
Thanks!

Hi Prasanna,
The AIR-PWR-1000 is an actual Power Supply that plugs directly into the wall on one end and the other end plugs into the 48v port on the AP itself :)
The access point power options:
â¢Option 1-Switches with sufficient inline power:
â¢Option 2-Switches without sufficient inline power can use the power injector:
-Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF=)
â¢Option 3-Local power using the power module (AIR-PWR-1000=)
Hope this helps!
