Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide xvi OL-30864-01 R E V I E W D R A F T C H A P T E R 1 Overview The Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a wireless outdoor access point which is designed for use in a variety of network configurations. The access point supports wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. About the 1532 Access Point The 1532 access point supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) and provides client access using the unlicensed RF Wi-Fi spectrum. The 2.4 GHz radio is used for client access and the 5 GHz radio can be dedicated for backhaul traffic or can used for both backhual and client access. Depending on the radio, the access point can support 1 to 300 Mb/s data rates (for specific data rates, refer to Appendix D, Access Point Data Sheet). The access point is a standalone unit that can be wall, pole or tower mounted. 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 can be 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 Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.6 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 Prime Infrastructure (PI) 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. The access point can also be deployed in an autonomous mode and be configured via the CLI. This chapter provides information on the following topics:

(AIR-ACC1530-KIT1=) Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-10 OL-30864-01 Chapter 1 Overview R E V I E W D R A F T Network Deployment Examples 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 two primary radio roles: a root access point (hereafter called a RAP) or a mesh
(non-root) access point (hereafter called a MAP), which is the default role of all access points. When the access point has a fiber or wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch), the radio role is called a RAP. In order to be considered a RAP, the access point must be configured as 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. RAPs and MAPs can support wireless clients on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band. Client access on 5-GHz is called universal client access. When the access point does not have a wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch), 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 which has an Ethernet connection through a switch to the controller. MAPs may 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). 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 1-7). 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. Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) control traffic is also transferred over this bridged link. Figure 1-7 Access Point Backhaul Example
(5 GHz)
(2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) 3 9 4 5 5 2 Point-to-Point Bridging The access points can be used to extend a remote network by using the 5 GHz backhaul radio to bridge the two network segments as shown in Figure 1-8. 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. OL-30864-01 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-11 Network Deployment Examples R E V I E W D R A F T Chapter 1 Overview Wireless client access is supported; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access. Figure 1-8 Access Point Point-to-Point Bridging Example
(5 GHz) 5 9 4 5 5 2 The access points can also support point-to-point bridging under autonomous mode. In this autonomous mode, the bridging can be done on the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio, but not both. In this mode, one access point is designated as the root and the other end is designated as the non-root bridge. Figure 1-9 Access Point Point-to-Point Bridging in Autonomous Mode 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz 2 5 0 2 5 3 Point-to-Multipoint Bridging The access points can be used as a RAP to connect multiple remote MAPs with their associated wired networks. 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 may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access. Figure 1-10 illustrates an example of access point-to-multipoint bridging.

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 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 with signal strength given priority since signal strength determines the data rate available for backhaul. Figure 1-12 illustrates a typical mesh configuration using MAPs and RAPs.

Warning Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. 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 power from the power cord using a suitable service disconnect. For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
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.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.
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.
When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
Do not use a metal ladder. Do not work on a wet or windy day. Do dress properlyshoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. OL-30864-01 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-5 Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment R E V I E W D R A F T Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
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. 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 maximum receive input level for the receiver. 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. 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:

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 recommend 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. Site surveys reveals problems that can be resolved before the network is operational. Because 802.11a/b/g/n operates in an unlicensed spectrum, there may be sources of interference from other 802.11a wireless devices (especially in multi-tenant buildings) that could degrade your 802.11 signals. A site survey can determine if such interference exists at the time of deployment. A proper site survey involves temporarily setting up mesh links and taking measurements to determine whether your antenna calculations are accurate. Determine the correct locations and antenna types before you drill holes and route cables and mounting equipment. 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. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.
How far is your wireless link?
Has a previous site survey been conducted?
Do you have a clear Fresnel zone between the access points or radio line of sight?
What is the minimum acceptable data rate within the link?
Do you have the correct antenna (if more than one antenna is being offered?)
Do you have access to both of the mesh site locations?
OL-30864-01 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-7 Installation Guidelines R E V I E W D R A F T Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Do you have the proper permits, if required?
Are you following the proper safety procedures and practices?
Have you configured the access points before you go onsite? It is always easier to resolve configurations or device problems first.
Do you have the proper tools and equipment to complete your survey. Before Beginning the Installation Before you begin the installation process:
Ensure that a site survey has been performed.
Ensure that your network infrastructure devices are operational and properly configured.
Ensure that your controllers are connected to switch trunk ports.
Ensure that your switch is configured with untagged access ports for connecting your access points.
Ensure that a DHCP server with Option 43 configured is reachable by your access points, or manually configure the controller information in the access point (for additional information, refer to the Configuring DHCP Option 43 section on page F-1).
Become familiar with the access point installation components (see the Becoming Familiar with Access Point Installation Components section on page 2-8). Becoming Familiar with Access Point Installation Components The access point is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, such as the exterior roof overhang of a tall building or a streetlight pole. Carefully review the following figures to become familiar with the system components, connectors, indicators, cables, system interconnection, and grounding:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps469/prod_installation_guides_list.html Follow all safety precautions when installing the antennas. For information on safety, refer to Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas section on page 2-27. Non-Cisco Antennas Cisco does not support any third-party antennas. RF connectivity and compliance of third party antennas is the customers responsibility. Cisco does not recommend any third-party antennas, and Cisco Technical Assistance Center will not be able to provide any support for third-party antennas. Ciscos FCC Part 15 compliance is only guaranteed with Cisco antennas or antennas that are of the same design and gain as Cisco antennas. Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas Warning Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. OL-30864-01 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-27 Installing Antennas R E V I E W D R A F T Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation 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. 5. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
Do not use a metal ladder. Do not work on a wet or windy day. Do dress properlywear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. 7. 8. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 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 to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Antenna Configurations Integrated Antenna Option The AP1532I uses an Integrated Low Profile Dual-Band 2.4-5 GHz Dipole Antenna Array. The antenna contains an array of three dual-band dipole antennas. The three dipole antennas are contained within this single radome, thereby greatly reducing the antennas visual footprint, and greatly reducing the possibility of snagging the antenna on the cable bundle, the RF cable, or test cables. Each of thee three dipole antennas is a dual-band antenna, covering both the 2.4 - 2.483 GHz band and the 5.25-5.85 GHz bands. The antenna have a peak gain of about 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi at 5 GHz. The antenna unit is gray weatherproof radome for outdoor operations. External Antenna Mounting Configurations The selection of the antenna is determined in the configuration of the product. The 1532E antennas can be mounted on a wall, pole and/or tower mounted. Please refer to the Ordering Guide for a list of supported antennas. The 1532E access point supports a variety of antennas designed for outdoor use with radios operating in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands. The 1532 supports the external antennas listed in the following sections. Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2547V-N, AIR-ANT2547VG-N) The Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna, referred to as a stick antenna, is designed for outdoor use with Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points with radios operating in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands (Figure 2-15).

The Cisco Aironet AIR-ACC245LA-N Lightning Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system. Installation Considerations Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed through on the wall of the protected space. The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-36 OL-30864-01 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point R E V I E W D R A F T Installing Antennas
Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.
The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture.
Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer. Installation Notes This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor antenna and the Cisco Aironet wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to accommodate the lightning arrestor. Note This lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a grounding lug. Note When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning protection installation in your local area. Installing the Lightning Arrestor Outdoors If you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a heavy wire (#6 solid copper) to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as possible. Figure 2-23 Lightning Arrestor Details 1 2 3 4 2 8 3 6 4 3 5 1 Nut 2 Lockwasher 3 Ground lug 4 Unprotected side (to antenna) 5 Protected side (to wireless device) OL-30864-01 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-37 Grounding the Access Point Cable for the Lightning Arrestor R E V I E W D R A F T Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor. Grounding the Access Point The access point must be grounded before connecting power. Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366 Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these instructions to properly ground the case:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug. Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding lug. Note The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical codes. Open the electrical joint compound (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface where the ground strap screw holes are located (see Figure 1-5). Connect the grounding lug to the access point grounding screw holes (see Figure 1-5) using the supplied two Phillips head screws (M4 x10 mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw to 22 to 24 lb-in (2.49 to 2.71 Nm). If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is grounded (see Figure 2-3). Powering the Access Point Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-38 OL-30864-01 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point R E V I E W D R A F T Powering the Access Point Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366 Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001 The 1532 access point supports these power sources:
DC power 24- 57 VDC
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) The 1532 access point can be powered via the PoE input from an in-line power injector or a suitably powered switch port. Depending on the configuration and regulatory domain, the required power for full operation is UPoE. For the 1532E, 802.3at power is sufficient for all regulatory domains and full 2x2 MIMO operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. Either the AIR-PWRINJ4= or the AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=
power injector can be used. For the 1532I, UPoE powered switch port or the AIR-PWRINJ1500-2= power injector is required for full operation of the 3x3 MIMO on the 2.4 GHz radio in the regulatory domains that allow for high 2.4 GHz transmit power (Regulatory domains -A, -D, -F, -K, -N, -Q, -T, -Z). If the 1532I is powered by a PoE+ (802.3at power) switch port or the AIR-PWRINJ4= power injector, then the access point will automatically disable one of the 2.4 GHz transmitters and the radio will operate in 2x3 MIMO mode.

Configuring the Access Point 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. To add a MAC filter entry on the controller, follow these steps:
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. 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.

Log out of your controller, and close your web browser. Configuring a RAP The access point defaults to the mesh access point (MAP) radio role. One or more of your access points must be reconfigured as a root access point (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. To configure a RAP on 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 your access point associates to the controller, the name of the access point appears in the AP Name list. Double-click your access point 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. To configure the BGN for the access points using the GUI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Log into your controller using a web browser. Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the name of the access point appears in the AP Name list.

Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-52 OL-30864-01 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point What to Do Next R E V I E W D R A F T 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 (AWPP) to bind to another mesh access point (MAP) with the best path to a root access point (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 a Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) connection to the controller and gets the shared secret configured on the controller. Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more information on configuring, monitoring, and operating your access points.

The access point only supports Layer 3 CAPWAP 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 CAPWAP 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-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER. Use 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.
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 mesh access points (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 root access point (RAP) attempts to connect to a controller using any of the wired ports (cable, fiber-optic, PoE-in). If the wired ports are operational, the RAP can potentially spend several minutes on each port prior to connecting to a controller.
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. Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-2 OL-30864-01 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Bridge Loop R E V I E W D R A F T Controller MAC Filter List 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, it is possible for a MAP to connect to the controller, via parent node, but not be able to pass data traffic, such as pinging the access point. This can occur because the default data rate for backhaul control packets is set to 6 Mb/s, and the backhaul data rate set to auto by the user. 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. 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.

Statement 1040 3 2 Introduction to the Access Point The Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a rugged outdoor access point designed for service in mesh networks. The 1530 series leverages 802.11n technology with integrated radio and internal/external antennas. The 1530 contains a 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio with an option to configure in centralized, Flexconnect, or mesh mode. The 2.4-GHz radios are used primarily for local access, and the 5-GHz radios can be configured for both local access and/or wireless backhaul in the Mesh mode. The access point is a standalone unit that can be wall, pole or tower mounted. 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 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 (WLC), referred to as a controller in this document. The WLC is described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Cisco Mesh Networking Solution Deployment Guide describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco mesh network, which supports wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint mesh deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface
(CLI), or the Cisco Prime Infrastructure (CIP) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points. 4 3 Unpacking the Access Point Follow these steps to unpack the access point:

The antenna contains an array of three dual-band dipole antennas. The three dipole antennas are contained within this single radome, thereby greatly reducing the antennas visual footprint, and greatly reducing the possibility of snagging the antenna on the cable bundle, the RF cable, or test cables. The antennas operate over both 2.4 GHz and 5.25 5.85 GHz bands. Each of the three dipole antennas is a dual-band antenna, covering both the 2.4 2.483 GHz band, and the 5.25 5.85 GHz bands. The antennas have a peak gain of about 2 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4 dBi at 5 GHz. The antenna unit is gray weatherproof radome for outdoor operation. The 1532I access point 802.11b/g/n radio is used primarily for local access and its 802.11a/n radio for wireless backhaul in the Mesh. The 2-GHz b/g/n radio operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It supports channels 1-11 in US, 1-13 in Europe, and 1-13 in Japan. It has three transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29dBm for 802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable to 5 levels. It has three receivers that enables maximum-ratio combining (MRC). The 5-GHz a/n radio operates in the UNII-2 band (5.25 - 5.35 GHz), UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47 -
5.725 GHz), and the upper ISM band (5.725 - 5.850 GHz). It has two transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29 dBm for UNII-2 and Extended/ETSI bands for the A-domain. The total maximum output power for the upper ISM band is 28 dBm for A-domain. Tx power settings will change depending on the regulatory domain. Output power is configurable for 5 power levels in 3 dB steps. Its three receivers enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC). The 1532I access point is equipped with three integrated dual-band antennas with 3 dBi gain at 2 GHz and 5 dBi at 5 GHz. Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 11 AP 1532E The 1532E is equipped with two N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1 and 2) on the bottom of the unit for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation in dual-
band mode, as shown in Figure 6. The 1532E must always be operated with the two external antennas attached. When using the Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna, the 2.4-
and 5-GHz antennas connect directly to the access point, as shown in Figure 7. If the antennas are remotely located, an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable should be used. The 1532E access points are equipped with 4 N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1 and 2 on the bottom of the unit for 2-GHz and antenna ports 3 and 4 on the top of the unit for 5-GHz) for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation. The antenna ports located of top of the 1532E are shown in Figure 3. The 1532E must always be operated with the appropriate external antennas attached. Ports 1 and 2 can be used for Dual Band operation with a software configuration. Note The antenna port caps must be removed for a uni-band antenna installation, but ports 3 and 4 should remain capped for a dual-band antenna installation to provide an IP67 seal.

Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources cannot provide adequate power, which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source. You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off. Caution The 1500 power injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=) and the AIR-PWRINJ4= must be used in an indoor environment only. Caution When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). 15 Ethernet (PoE) Ports The access point supports an Ethernet uplink port (PoE-In). The access point Ethernet uplink port uses an RJ-
45 connector (with weatherproofing) to link the access point to the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T or 1000BASE-T network. The Ethernet cable is used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally supply inline 56-VDC power from the power injector. Tip The access point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections. Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023 The Ethernet cable must be a shielded outdoor rated Category 5e (CAT5e) or better cable. The access point senses the Ethernet and power signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections. 16 6 AP Pole/Wall Mount This section provides instructions for installing your access point(s). Personnel installing the access point(s) must understand wireless access points and bridging techniques and grounding methods. Caution All installation methods for mounting an access point on any wall surface is subject to the acceptance of local jurisdiction. Installation Options The 1530 Series Access Point can be wall, pole or tower mounted. There are two optional mounting kits: a fixed mounting kit (AIR-ACC1530-PMK1=) and a pivoting mounting kit
(AIR-ACC1530-PMK2=). Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electric codes. Statement 1074 When mounting an access point on a horizontal or vertical surface, you must ensure that the access point is oriented with the LED indicators pointing down (see Figure 10 on page 33). This positioning allows LEDs to be visible to someone on the ground below the access point. You must also ensure the access point is mounted in such a way as to ensure that all antenna ports and the console port are accessible for future use. 17 Wall M ounting the Access Point w ith the Fixed M ounting Kit The optional fixed mounting kit contains a mounting bracket for wall mounting or pole mounting. You can use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions of the mounting holes for your installation. You then install the mounting plate, and attach the access point when you are ready. Table 1 lists the materials you will need to provide in addition to the fixed mounting kit.

#6 AWG ground wire In Kit Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Yes No No No To mount the access point onto a vertical pole or streetlight pole, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access point to any pole with a diameter from 2to 8 inches (5.1 to 20.1 cm). Note If you will be using a streetlight power tap adapter, position the access point within 3 ft (1 m) of the outdoor light control. The AC/DC adapter must be used with street light power tap. 20 Step 2 Determine which size of band clamp is needed based on the pole diameter. Slide the two clamps through the top and bottom set of mounting slots (see Figure 8) and mount the bracket to the pole. Step 3 Wrap the band clamps around the pole and slide them into the second set of top and bottom mounting slots on the bracket. Lightly tighten the clamps. Only tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole. Step 4 Screw an M6 bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the back side of the access point. Do not screw the bolt in all the way. Leave a gap of about 0.13" (3.3mm). Step 5 Position the four bolts on the access point into the bracket keyhole slots. Check to be sure that the access point is properly seated in the slots.(See Figure 9) Note The access point should be positioned with the LEDs on the bottom to allow viewing from the ground. Step 6 Using a 10mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the access point to the bracket to a torque of 40 in-lbf. Step 7 Locate the access point to its final position.

Step 8 Continue with the Grounding the Access Point, page 23. 21 Figure 9 AP and Fixed Mount Kit Installed on a Pole 1 Metal Band Strap 3 Pole 2 Mounting Slots Zl. Grounding the Access Point The access point must be grounded before connecting power. Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366 Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these instructions to properly ground the access point:
Step 1 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug. Step 2 Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding lug. Note The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical codes. Step 3 Open the electrical joint compound (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface where the ground strap screw holes are located (see Figure 5). Step 4 Connect the grounding lug to the access point grounding screw holes (see Figure 5) using the supplied two Phillips head screws (M4 x 10 mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw to 22 to 24 in. lbs (2.49 to 2.71 Nm). Step 5 If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is grounded. 23 7 Preparing the Access Point The access point is a radio device which 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 Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.6. These documents are available on cisco.com. Do not install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills obstruct radio signals to and from the access point. You can install the access point at any height, but best throughput is achieved when the access points are mounted at the same height. Note To perform path loss calculation and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning expert. Note See the 1530 Series Hardware Installation Guide for information on conducting a site survey prior to installing the access point. 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 radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the maximum receive input level of the receiver. At levels higher than the normal operating range and packet error rate (PER) performance of the receiver 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. Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level. Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total attenuation of at least 60 dB. 24 For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr + tx antenna gain + rx ant 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 RF Attenuator components] < max rx input level
(0 dbm) 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 PER performance is not degraded. Before You Begin Warning Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004 Before you begin the installation process:
Become familiar with the procedures for mounting the access point (see the AP Pole/Wall Mount, page 17). Become familiar with the access point connections (Figure 1 on page 8, Figure 4 on page 10, and Figure 5 on page 10). Verify that the switch you are using to connect the controller is configured properly. 25 8 Deploying the Access Point The following portions of this manual address how to deploy the Access Point. There are several deployment methods. Warning Do not operate the unit near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use. Statement 364 Controller-based Deployments The access point is deployed on Layer 3 networks. Layer 3 is the default mode for a newly configured wireless LAN controller. This guide assumes that you will be deploying your access point on a Layer 3 network and a DHCP server is available. Before deploying the access point, make sure the controller to which the access point will associate is properly configured by performing the following operations:
Verify the wireless LAN controller software version Record the access point BVI MAC address (MAC address is located on the label on the side of the unit.) Enter the access point BVI MAC address to the wireless LAN controller filter list Recording the Access Point M AC Address Use a text file to record the MAC address of all the access points you intend to deploy in your network. Having a file of the access point MAC addresses will be of considerable value for future testing. While you are compiling the list, you might want to change the name of the access point to something you can easily remember. The name can contain up to 32 characters. The following example, fisher_street:ea:co contains the last four HEX characters of the access point MAC address. 26 Adding the Access Point M AC Address to the Wireless LAN Controller Filter List The wireless LAN controller maintains an access point authorization MAC address list and responds to discovery requests from access points on that list. To add the access point MAC address (or MAC addresses) to the Wireless LAN controller filter list, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you are not logged onto the wireless LAN controller, log on now. The Summary page appears. Step 2 On the menu bar, click SECURITY. The Security RADIUS Authentication Server page appears. Step 3 Under AAA in the left frame, click MAC Filtering. The Security MAC Filtering page appears. Step 4 Click New. The MAC Filters New page appears. Step 5 Enter the MAC address of the access point in the MAC Address field. You can also use the config macfilter add command to add a MAC filter entry to the controller. Step 6 Select a WLAN ID or Any WLAN from the WLAN ID pop-up menu. Step 7 Enter a description (32 characters maximum) of the access point in the Description field. Step 8 Choose an interface from the Interface Name pop-up menu. Step 9 Click Apply. Step 10 Repeat this process to add other access points to the list. Note You can also use the controller CLI command config macfilter add to add a MAC filter entry on the controller. Step 11 On the menu bar, click Monitor to return to the Monitor Summary page. Verifying Controller Association To verify that your access point is associated to the wireless LAN controller, perform these steps:
Step 1 Log into your controller web interface (https) using a web browser. Step 2 Click Wireless and verify that your access point MAC address is listed under Ethernet MAC. Step 3 Log out of the controller and close your web browser. 27 Deployment Notes Using a DHCP Server in a Layer 3 M esh Network To use a DHCP server in a Layer 3 mesh network, you must configure DHCP option 43 on the DHCP server. After the controller is restarted, the access point receives IP addresses from the DHCP server. Configuring DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling each access point to find and join a controller. This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Aironet lightweight access points. Additional information about Microsoft DHCP Option 43 is available on Cisco.com at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080871 4fe.shtml DHCP Option 43 server implementation information for Cisco IOS is available at cisco.com at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/controller/deployment/guide/dep.html#wp106 8287 Note In DHCP Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface. Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type. Cisco 1532 access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60) of the access point. The VCI string for the Cisco 1532 access point is Cisco AP c1532. The format of the TLV block for the 1532 access point is listed below:
Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241) Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4 Value: List of WLC management interfaces 28 Configuring Option 43 for Cisco 1532 Access Points To configure DHCP Option 43 for Cisco 1532 access point in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI. Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. The commands used to create a DHCP pool are as follows:
ip dhcp pool pool name network IP Network Netmask default-router Default router dns-server DNS Server Where:
pool name is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1532. IP Network is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1 Netmask is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0 Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1 DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2 Step 3 Add the Option 60 line using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii VCI string For the VCI string, use the value from Configuring DHCP Option 43, page 28. The quotation marks must be included. Step 4 Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 hex hex string The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below:
Type + Length + Value Type is always f1(hex). Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4 in hex. Value is the IP address of the controller listed sequentially in hex. For example, suppose that there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses, 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). The IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is listed below:
option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02 29 Autonom ous M ode Configuration The 1530 Series allows the Unified (controller-based) and Autonomous mode software to be loaded at the factory on the same hardware part number. This eliminates the need for separate part numbers for controller-
based units and autonomous mode units. At boot-up, the default mode is controller-based. The 1530 will power up and begin searching for a controller. Once it joins the controller, it will download the active Unified image from the controller. This is the same operation as other Cisco controller-based APs. For Autonomous mode, the user should take the following steps:
Step 1 Power the AP and connect to the console. Step 2 From the Command Line, enter:
AP # capwap ap autonomous (# means privileged EXEC mode) Step 3 The system will respond with "Convert to Autonomous image. Proceed? (yes/[No]):"
Step 4 Type "yes" to confirm. Step 5 The AP will then re-boot and load the Autonomous image. The unified image is erased. Step 6 Once the 1530 has booted in autonomous mode, configuration of the AP can done by following the procedure outlined here:

The access point supports Layer 3 CAPWAP 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. Layer 3 operation is scalable and is recommended by Cisco. Unless it has a static IP address, 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 CAPWAP communications. The routes to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers must allow IP packet fragments. Before deploying your mesh access points ensure that the following has been done:
Your controllers are connected to switch ports that are configured as trunk ports. Your mesh access points are connected to switch ports that are configured as untagged access ports. A DHCP server is reachable by your mesh access points and has been configured with Option 43. Option 43 is used to provide the IP addresses of the Management Interfaces of your controllers. Typically, a DHCP server can be configured on a Cisco Layer 3 switch or router. Optionally a DNS server can be configured to enable a local domain Cisco CAPWAP controller
(CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.<local domain>) to resolve to the IP address of the Management Interface of your controller. Your controllers are configured and reachable by the mesh access points. Your controllers are configured with the MAC addresses of the mesh access points. 32 Checking the LEDs One LED is located between the LAN and PoE-In connectors. It indicates the status of the access point power, uplinks and radios. Figure 10 identifies and describes the LED functions. Table 3 provides additional LED signal information.

< 75 Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturers specifications and is not a defect. 35 Misconfigured Access Point IP address IP address misconfiguration can occur when you are re-addressing a segment of your mesh network and you start at the mesh access point connected to the wired network (RAP). To avoid this problem, always start the IP address changes from the farthest access point and work your way back to the root access point. This problem might also happen if you move equipment such as uninstalling amesh access point and then redeploying with a different IP subnet in another physical location on the mesh network. Another option to fix this misconfigured IP address is to physically take a controller in Layer 3 mode with a root access point to the location of the misconfigured mesh access point. Set the bridge group name for the root access point to match the misconfigured access point. Add the access point MAC address to the filter list of the controller. When the misconfigured access point appears in the Summary page of the controller, configure the access point with an IP address. If you are using a static IP address on the access point and plan on redeploying the access point on another subnet, perform a clear config command from the controller for that access point while it is joined before you remove it from the network. Verifying the Controller MAC Filter List Prior to 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. To view the MAC addresses added to the controller MAC filter list and ensure the MAC filter list is enabled, you can use the controller CLI or the controller GUI. Controller CLI Use the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list. Controller GUI Log into your controller web interface (HTTPS) using a web browser and click SECURITY > AAA > MAC Filtering to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list. Then click Wireless > Mesh to ensure the MAC filter list is enabled. 10 Declarations of Conformity and Regulatory Information This section provides declarations of conformity and regulatory information for the Cisco 1532 Access Point.
