The access point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a streetlight pole, building wall, overhang, or a cable strand.access point The access point model LAP1522 supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz). The access point provides client access and without the need for a license. The 5-GHz radio is dedicated to backhaul operations to reach a wired network and the 2.4-GHz radio is used for wireless clients. The access point can support 6 to 54 Mbps data rates. The access point model LAP1524 supports up to four radios operating in the 2.4-GHz, 4.9-GHz, and 5-GHz frequency bands. The access point provides client access and without the need for a license. The 5-GHz and 4.9-GHz radios are dedicated to backhaul operations to reach a wired network and the 2.4-GHz radio is used for wireless clients. The access point can support 6 to 54 Mbps data rates. The access point is manufactured in three configurations: cable, pole mount, and mesh. The cable configuration has three antenna connectors on the top of the unit, can be mounted to a cable strand, and supports power-over-cable (POC). The pole mount configuration supports two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be mounted to a pole or building wall and supports fiber-optic networks and several power options. The Mesh configuration has two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be powered by AC and only supports wireless backhaul communications to reach the wired network. It does not support hard-wired communications (cable, fiber-optic, or Ethernet) to a wired network. The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired network. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patented Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol
(AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller. The access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco wireless LAN controller
(hereafter called a controller) as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco mesh network, which supports wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points. The access point supports hardware-based advanced encryption standard
(AES) encryption between wireless nodes to provide end-to-end security. This chapter provides information on the following topics:

The LAP1522 model supports simultaneous dual-radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11b/g radio and a 5-GHz 802.11a radio.The 5-GHz radio can operate in either the upper industrial, scientific and medical
(ISM) 5.8-GHz band or the public safety 4.9-GHz band. The 5-GHz radio supports one antenna and is used for backhaul operations to the controller. Note The 4.9-GHz band requires a license and can only be used by qualified public safety operators as defined in section 90.20 of the FCC rules. The 2.4-GHz radio supports two or three antennas for multi-input, single output (MISO) operation. The access point uses two or three receivers to support maximum ratio combining (MRC) to enhance receiver performance. MRC is a technique that combines the signals from multiple receivers in a manner to optimize the signals. MRC can provide up to 3 dB of increased receive signal strength with two receive antennas or up to 5 dB with three antennas. External Antennas The access point supports up to three N-type radio frequency (RF) antenna connectors on the top of the unit and two on the bottom of the unit. The number of active antenna connectors depends upon the access point configuration (see Antenna Connector Locations, page 1-5). All access point configurations supports multiple 2.4-GHz antennas for MISO operation, but only one 5-GHz antenna. When using the optional Cisco compact omnidirectional antennas, the 2.4- and 5-GHz antennas connect directly to the access point. The Cisco omnidirectional antennas use vertical polarization. Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 The access point has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below and with a maximum gain of 8 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 17 dBi for 5 GHz. Antennas not in this list or with a higher gain are strictly prohibited for use with the access point. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (E.I.R.P.) is not more than required for successful communication. Caution For directly mounted antennas, you must not add weatherproofing around the antenna connectors because the antenna drain holes might be blocked and damage the antenna.

Network Deployment Examples The access point is a wireless device designed for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point provides 5-GHz backhaul capability to link with another access point to reach a wired network connection or to provide repeater operations for other access points. The access point plays one of two primary radio roles: a root access point (hereafter called a RAP) or the access points that relay their wireless connections to the controller are called mesh access points
(MAPs). When the access point has a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable connection to the controller
(through a switch), the radio role is called a RAP. A RAP is a parent node to any bridging or mesh network. A controller can support one or more RAPs, each one parenting the same or different wireless networks. There can be more than one RAP for the same mesh network for redundancy. Both RAP and MAP access points can support wireless clients using the 2.4-GHz radio. Note The access point must be configured as a RAP in the controller, whereas the MAP role is a default setting. When the access point does not have a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable connection to the controller, the radio role is called a MAP. The MAPs have a wireless connection (through the backhaul interface) to other MAPs and finally to a RAP with an Ethernet or cable connection through a switch to the controller. MAPs can also have a wired Ethernet connection to a local LAN and serve as a bridge endpoint for that LAN (using a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge connection). OL-12632-03 Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-11 Network Deployment Examples R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 1 Overview Wireless Backhaul The access point supports wireless backhaul capability using the 5-GHz radio to bridge to another access point to reach a wired network connection to a controller (see Figure 1-5). The access point connected to the wired network is considered a RAP in this configuration. The remote access point is considered a MAP and transfers wireless client traffic to the RAP for transfer to the wired network. Lightweight access point protocol (LWAPP) control traffic is also transferred over this bridged link. Figure 1-5 Access Point Backhaul Example

To support Ethernet bridging, you must enable bridging on the controller for each access point.

By default, this capability is turned-off for all access points. To support Ethernet bridging, you must enable bridging on the controller for each access point. Wireless client access can be provided over the bridging link; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area might be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access.

In a typical mesh deployment, one or more RAPs have a wired network connection through a switch to a controller. Other remote MAPs without wired network connections use the backhaul feature to optimally link to a RAP that is connected to the wired network. In the mesh network, the links between the access points are referred to as the backhaul links. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patented Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This enables each MAP to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the RAP with the wired network connection by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller. Figure 1-8 illustrates a typical mesh configuration using MAPs and RAPs.

When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052 Caution Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord using a suitable service disconnect. For additional important safety instructions for AC power cords, refer to the AC Power Cords for Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that shipped with your AC power cords. For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
1. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill. 2. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 3. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 4. When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Do dress properlyshoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 5. Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. 6. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line,do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-6 OL-12632-03 Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment The radios on outdoor units (bridges) have higher transmit power levels than radios on indoor units
(access points). When you test high power radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the receivers maximum receive input level. At levels above the normal operating range, packet error rate (PER) performance is degraded. At even higher levels, the receiver can be permanently damaged. To avoid receiver damage and PER degradation, you can use one of the following techniques:
Separate the omnidirectional antennas by at least 2 ft (0.6 m) to avoid receiver damage or by at least 25 ft (7.6 m) to avoid PER degradation. Note These distances assume free space path loss and are conservative estimates. Required separation distances for damage and performance degradation levels in actual deployments are less if conditions are not non line-of-sight.
Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level.
Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other.
Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total attenuation of at least 60 dB. For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr + tx gain + rx gain - [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level Where:
txpwr = Radio transmit power level tx gain = transmitter antenna gain rx gain = receiver antenna gain For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr - [attenuation due to coaxial components] < max rx input level Caution Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one access point to the antenna port of another access point without using an RF attenuator. If you connect antenna ports, you must not exceed the maximum survivable receive level of 0 dBm. Never exceed 0 dBm, or damage to the access point can occur. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation ensures that the receiver is not damaged and that PER performance is not degraded. OL-12632-03 Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-7 Installation Guidelines R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions Installation Guidelines Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution.
Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.
Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the access point.
The access points can be installed at any height, but best throughput is achieved when all the access points are mounted at the same height. We recommends installing the access points no higher than 40 feet to allow support for wireless clients on the ground. Note To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning expert. Site Surveys Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple access points, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
Data ratesSensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases.
Antenna type and placementProper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.
Physical environmentClear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
ObstructionsPhysical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of wireless devices.

Figure 2-5 Antenna Port Locations Adding the Access Point MAC Addresses to the Controller Filter List Before installing your access points, configure your controller by adding the MAC addresses of the access points to the filter list. MAC address filtering is enabled by default. This enables the controller to respond to the listed access points. Follow these steps to add a MAC filter entry on the controller:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Log into your controller using a web browser. Choose SECURITY > MAC Filtering > New. Enter the MAC address of the access point to the MAC Filter list; for example, 00:0B:91:21:3A:C7. Note The access point MAC address is located on the bottom of the unit. When two MAC addresses are shown, use the top MAC address. Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-14 OL-12632-03 Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Installation Guidelines Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Select a WLAN ID or Any WLAN from the WLAN ID pop-up menu. Enter a description (32 characters maximum) of the access point in the Description field; for example, Fisher_Street_00.0B.91.21.3A.C7 shows the location and MAC address of the access point. Choose an interface from the Interface Name pop-up menu, and click Apply. Repeat Steps 2 to 6 to add other access points to the list. Log out of your controller, and close your web browser. Configuring a RAP The access point defaults to the MAP radio role. One or more of your access points must be reconfigured as a RAP. The RAPs connect to a wired Ethernet link through a switch to the controller. The MAPs use their wireless backhaul interface to connect to a RAP to reach the controller. Follow these steps to configure a RAP on the controller GUI:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Log into your controller using a web browser. Click Wireless. When your access point associates to the controller, your access points name appears in the AP Name list. Double-click your access points name. Find Mesh Information, and choose Root AP by clicking the drop down arrow in the AP Role field. Click Apply. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each RAP. Log out from your controller, and close your web browser. Configuring a Bridge Group Name The bridge group name (BGN) controls the association of the access points to a RAP. BGNs can be used to logically group the radios to avoid different networks on the same channel from communicating with each other. This setting is also useful if you have more than one RAP in your network in the same area. If you have two RAPs in your network in the same area (for more capacity), we recommend that you configure the two RAPs with the same BGN, but on different channels. The BGN is a string of ten characters maximum. A factory-set bridge group name (NULL VALUE) is assigned during manufacturing. It is not visible to you, but allows new access point radios to join a network of new access points. The BGN can be reconfigured from the Controller CLI and GUI. After configuring the BGN, the access point reboots. The BGN should be configured very carefully on a live network. You should always start from the farthest node (last node) from the RAP and move towards the RAP. If you start configuring the BGN in a different location, then the access points beyond this point (farther away) are dropped, as they have a different BGN.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Log into your controller using a web browser. Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access points name appears in the AP Name list. Double-click on an access points name. Find Mesh Information, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field. Click Apply. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each access point. Log out from your controller, and close your web browser. Mounting the Access Point This section provides instructions for installing your access points. Personnel installing the access point must understand wireless access points and bridging techniques and grounding methods. Caution All mounting methods on any wall surface is subject to the acceptance of local jurisdiction. Installation Options There are two optional installation kits:

Go to the Pole Mounting section on page 2-24. Pole Mounting The access point can be installed where power is available, without the need for a wired LAN connection. The access point uses intelligent wireless routing that is based on the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). AWPP enables a remote access point to dynamically optimize the best route to the wired LAN network using another access point. The LAP1522 model uses the 5-GHz radio for the Mesh backhaul Mesh connections. The 2.4-GHz radio is used for local wireless client access. The LAP1521 model uses the 2.4-GHz radio for both Mesh backhaul and local wireless client access. To mount your access point on a vertical pole or streetlight pole, you need to install two metal bands around the pole to support the access point. This process requires extra tools and material not provided in the pole mount kit (see Table 2-3).

Step 18 Check the cable modems Power and Cable LEDs and verify the cable modem receives power and registers to the cable network. The Power LED (fifth LED from the hinge) is green to indicate power is available.The Cable LED ( second LED from the hinge) should be blinking green to indicate scanning the cable network and green to indicate registered on the cable network. Step 19 Close the hinged cover (see the Closing the Access Point Hinged Cover section on page 2-39). What to Do Next When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable network to the controller, the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol to bind to another MAP with the best path to a RAP connected to the wired network to a controller. The access point sends a discovery request when powered up. If you have configured the access point in the controller correctly, the controller sends back a discovery response to the access point. When that happens, the access point sends out a join request to the controller, and the controller responds with a join confirmation response. Then the access point establishes an LWAPP connection to the controller and gets the shared secret configured on the controller.

The access point can only communicate with controllers and cannot operate independently.
The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point associates to it.
The access points only supports Layer 3 LWAPP communications with the controllers. In Layer 3 operation, the access point and the controller can be on the same or different subnets. The access point communicates with the controller using standard IP packets. A Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the controller requires a DHCP server on the access point subnet and a route to the controller. The route to the controller must have destination UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open for LWAPP communications. The route to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers must allow IP packet fragments.
Before deploying your access points, ensure that the following has been done:
Your controllers are connected to switch ports that are configured as trunk ports. Your access points are connected to switch ports that are configured as untagged access ports. A DHCP server is reachable by your access points and has been configured with Option 43. Option 43 provides the IP addresses of the management interfaces of your controllers. Typically, a DHCP server can be configured on a Cisco switch. Optionally a DNS server can be configured to enable CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.<local domain> to resolve to the IP address of the management interface of your controller. Your controllers are configured and reachable by the access points. Your controllers are configured with the access point MAC addresses and the MAC filter list is enabled. Your switch must forward DHCP requests.
The access point PoE-out port should be connected only to a single peripheral customer device, such as a camera or sensor gateway. Cisco recommends that the PoE-out port not be connected to a switch or hub.
After the access points are associated to the controller, you should change the bridge group name
(BGN) from the default value. With the default BGN, the MAPs can potentially try to connect with other mesh networks and slow down the convergence of the network. Important Notes Convergence Delays During deployment, the access points can experience convergence delays due to various causes. The following list identifies some operating conditions that can cause convergence delays:
A RAP attempts to connect to a controller using any of the wired ports (cable, fiber-optic, PoE-in, or PoE-out). If the wired ports are operational, the RAP can potentially spend several minutes on each port prior to connecting to a controller. Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-2 OL-12632-03 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Controller MAC Filter List
If a RAP is unable to connect to a controller over the wired ports, it attempts to connect using the wireless network. This results in additional delays when multiple potential wireless paths are available. If a MAP is unable to connect to a RAP using a wireless connection, it then attempts to connect using any available wired port. The access point can potentially spend several minutes for each connection method, before attempting the wireless network again. Bridge Loop The access point supports packet bridging between wired and wireless network connections. The same network must never be connected to multiple wired ports on an access point or on two bridged access points. A bridge loop causes network routing problems. Controller DHCP Server The controller DHCP server only assigns IP addresses to lightweight access points and wireless clients associated to an access point. It does not assign an IP address to other devices, including Ethernet bridging clients on the mesh access points. MAP Data Traffic If the signal on the access point backhaul channel has a high signal to noise ratio (not good), it is possible for a MAP to connect to the controller but not be able to pass data traffic, such as pinging the access point. This can occur because the default datarate for backhaul control packets is set to 6 Mbps, but the default datarate for data traffic is 24 Mbps. Controller MAC Filter List Before activating your access point, you must ensure that the access point MAC address has been added to the controller MAC filter list and that Mac Filter List is enabled. Note The access point MAC address and barcode is located on the bottom of the unit. When two MAC addresses are shown, use the top MAC address. To view the MAC addresses added to the controller MAC filter list, you can use the controller CLI or the controller GUI:
Controller CLIUse the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list.
Controller GUILog into your controller web interface using a web browser, and choose SECURITY > AAA > MAC Filtering to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list. OL-12632-03 Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-3 Using DHCP Option 43 R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Using DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling the access point to find and join a controller. Refer to the product documentation for your DHCP server for instructions on configuring DHCP Option 43. For additional information, refer to the Configuring DHCP Option 43 section on page F-1. Monitoring the Access Point LEDs If your access point is not working properly, look at the LEDs on the bottom of the unit. You can use them to quickly assess the units status.

Click Wireless, and verify that your access point MAC address is listed under Ethernet MAC. Log out of the controller, and close your web browser. OL-12632-03 Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-5 Changing the Bridge Group Name R E V I E W D R A F T C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Changing the Bridge Group Name The bridge group name (BGN) controls the association of the access points to a RAP. BGNs can be used to logically group the radios to avoid different networks on the same channel from communicating with each other. This setting is also useful if you have more than one RAP in your network in the same area. If you have two RAPs in your network in the same area (for more capacity), we recommend that you configure the two RAPs with different BGNs and on different channels. The BGN is a string of ten characters maximum. A factory-set bridge group name (NULL VALUE) is assigned during manufacturing. It is not visible to you, but allows new access point radios to join a network of new access points. The BGN can be reconfigured from the Controller CLI and GUI. After configuring the BGN, the access point reboots. After the access points are deployed and associated to the controller, the BGN should be changed from the default value to prevent the MAPs from attempting to associate to other mesh networks. The BGN should be configured very carefully on a live network. You should always start with the most distant access point (last node) from the RAP and move towards the RAP. If you start configuring the BGN in a different location, then the access points beyond this point (farther away) are dropped, as they have a different BGN. To configure the BGN for the access points using the controller GUI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Log into your controller using a web browser. Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access points name appears in the AP Name list. Click on an access points name. Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field. Click Apply. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each access point. Log out from your controller, and close your web browser.

Connecting to the Access Point Locally If you need to monitor the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Note The console port should only be used for debugging in a lab environment. Follow these steps to open the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
Step 1 Open the hinged cover of the access point (see Opening the Access Point Hinged Cover section on page 2-38 for instructions). Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 console port on the access point and to the COM port on a computer (see Figure 3-2 for the console port location). Note The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order a serial cable. Step 2 Set up a terminal emulator program on your PC to communicate with the access point.

Overview The Cisco Aironet 1524 Series Outdoor Wireless Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point) is a wireless device designed for wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a streetlight pole, building wall, overhang, or a cable strand.access point The access point (model: LAP1524) supports up to four radios operating in the 2.4-GHz, 4.9-GHz, and 5-GHz frequency bands. The access point provides client access and without the need for a license. The 5-GHz and 4.9-GHz radios are dedicated to backhaul operations to reach a wired network and the 2.4-GHz radio is used for wireless clients. The access point can support 6 to 54 Mbps data rates. The access point is manufactured in three configurations: cable, pole mount, and mesh. The cable configuration has three antenna connectors on the top of the unit, can be mounted to a cable strand, and supports power-over-cable (POC). The pole mount configuration supports two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be mounted to a pole or building wall and supports fiber-optic networks and several power options. The Mesh configuration has two antennas on the top and bottom of the unit. It can be powered by AC and only supports wireless backhaul communications to reach the wired network. It does not support hard-wired communications (cable, fiber-optic, or Ethernet) to a wired network. The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired network. Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patented Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol
(AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a controller. The access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco wireless LAN controller
(hereafter called a controller) as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco mesh network, which supports wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points. The access point supports hardware-based advanced encryption standard
(AES) encryption between wireless nodes to provide end-to-end security. Tested To Comply With FCC Standards FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE Model:
