The "n" refers to the 802.11 radio it is equipped with. In this case,
802.11n. A 802.11g access point would be a AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 or a
AIR-AP1242G-A-K9.
The "A" in the model number refers to the regional EM compliance for
S-band microwave transmissions. Not everyone uses the same 11 channels
we do in NA.
"A" is for NA
"E" is for EU
"J" is for Japan
The K9 means strong encryption - in the case of an access point
128-bit WEP, TKIP and AES. If it lacked strong encryption (generally
encryption keys under 128-bit) it would be "K8".
If you have a simple "K" then you do not have a complete part number.
I guarantee that there is a "9" missing there. After the AP340 there
was no such thing as a "K8" access point, and most certainly *not* a
modern 802.11n unit.
As you found out a AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9 is a lightweight access point,
they expect you to use a wireless controller with it.
andy <[email protected]> previously uttered:
Cisco aironet standalone ap-1142n-a-k9
On the cisco access points....
ap - standalone access point.
1142 - model
n - n series
a- american?
what does the K9 stand for?
is there a difference between
AIR-AP1142N-A-K
and
AIR-AP1142N-A-K9
I already got burned by the L.
