1200 Series AP's on a newer 2960s Cisco switch using POE

2011-08-15 Thread Taillon II, Kendall
We are in the middle of adding new 2960s Cisco switches to are edge. When connecting our old 1200 series AP's to the switch via POE, the switch interface just keeps flashing. Is this because the old AP's use the old pre-standard POE? Our new 1142 series AP's connect just fine. Is there any

We had a similar problem years ago. We use PowerDsine midspan power inserters for our AP power (they come in 6, 12, 24-port versions so they are cheaper than buying power for a whole Cisco switch or blade when only a few ports need power; management is also easy via a Web interface). In order

The 1200 series (not 1240 series) uses the Cisco pre-standard power. The pre-standard power flipped the + and - wires. From the Cisco documents it should support Cisco pre-standard PoE automatically. Do you know if you are over your power budget for the switches power supply (blinking /

Ken, (just throwing a flashing experience of our own...) Does it flash when you connect just one AP-1200 or if you connect many AP-1200? Switches or Midspan can only handle as much as the power supply can provide. So if you overload the system it will flash. We have had that problem when

Duplex full and speed 100 seem to do the trick. After looking at the pin out on the old standard and new, I wouldn't think that this would work. Thank you to all that helped, Ken From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On

I'll second the CDP if you are having power budget problems (which it appears you are not), for instance a 1231G AP that budgets for 4.4 watts with CDP will budget for 15.4 watts if CDP is disabled. Joshua Coleman | Network Infrastructure Engineer University of Florida Department of Housing

Hello all, We tested for this bug on our test OS X Lion device and we were able to change our password correctly. Did we not do something right to get this bug to appear? I want to make sure we tried everything as our students will be returning starting this Wednesday. Thanks, Matt
