Cisco AP1200 no clients association

Hi.. hoping someone can assist..

We have a few Cisco AP1200's that doesn't seem to be accepting any connection from the clients.

Here's what I've discovered so far..

- event logs doesn't show any info or errors

- I can't see the AP in netstumbler

- running Radio Carrier Busy Test, it's showing 100% for all freq.

I've tried to reset the ap to factory default - still using VXWorks but the default Tsunami SSID or anyting is not showing up in netstumbler.

I've upgraded to the latest version of IOS - same results - no results

-> no clients connect, no error or any info on event log (except once in awhile there is a radio down/reset/up). Only difference is Carrier busy is not 100% - all freq is in the 60-70% busy.

Eventhough carrier busy is high %, net stumbler is picking up only 1-2 APs using channels 1 or 11. I tried manually setting channel to 6 but still no clients are connecting or netstumbler is not seeing the AP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you..

Thanks for the link.. I will try this.. but on the newer IOS AP1200 that is experiencing the same problem, under the Radio-802.11B network interface setting, the "Role in Radio Network" Option is already set to just "Access Point" and not "Access Point (Fallback Radio Shutdown)/(Fallback to Repeater)" and still the same problem.

BG.. that's the very first thing I looked at.. the Radio is "ENABLED". Current status (sw/hw) is "Enabled" and "UP". I tried disabling first and reenabling - same problem. Transmit power is already set to MAX.

Is there a way for me to check if the Radio is working on these APs??

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and help..

Can you post your config?

Here's the config.. it's basically a factory default, with DHCP IP, Set SSID and Radio Enabled.

Let's say that you have one AP1200 that's working fine and another that isn't. Let's say that they both have the same model of radio. Let's say that you swap the radios, i.e. take out the radio from the nonworking AP1200 and put it into the working AP1200 and vice versa. Then, if the nonworkingness moves with the radio, I'd say that one of your radios is bad.

Been known to happen.

Aaron
