I have to install Cisco Aironet 1242 access point (AP) in our office. Can I use AP 1232 for site survey?
A. Cisco recommends to use the same AP for site survey and installation. This is because the range of two APs is different. If you do the site survey with one type of AP and install a different type, then the range differs. Refer to Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series 802.11A/B/G Access Point Data Sheet and Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series 802.11A/B/G Access Point Data Sheet for more information. Q. I need to measure the coverage for an Aironet 1210 access point and want to use the Aironet Desktop Utility (ADU) Site Survey tool on a laptop. However, I cannot prevent the laptop from roaming to another access point before I can find the edge of coverage for the target access point. Is there a way to prevent the laptop from roaming from the target access point so I can find the extent of coverage? I set the “Preferred AP” in the ADU, but that does not prevent roaming? A. Create a test SSID on the target access point (AP) and the client. This SSID should not exist on the other APs in the Wireless netwo
