	These instructions are for configuring a Cisco 1200 series wireless access point.  These
	instructions are for configuring a Cisco 1200 as a replacement unit for an existing Cisco
	1200 that has been previously installed and now needs replacement due to a hardware
	failure, etc.  The Replacement Cisco 1200's are located in the parts room on shelf and 
	are labeled "Cisco 1200 Replacement Units".

	Before the Access Point can be configured you will need to connect the Access Point to the
        network. Two standard RJ-45 patch cables are required.  One RJ-45 cable connects from injector
        to Access Point and the other RJ-45 cable connects from power injector to the network.  You 
        will also need a serial connection configured for 9600-8-none-1.  The power injector and serial
        cable for the Cisco 1200 are included in the box with replacement AP.  The Cisco 1200's are 
        configured to defaults and will DHCP an IP address upon power up.  The operating system on 
        the Cisco 1200 is CISCO IOS.
