Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide xvi C H A P T E R 1 Overview The Cisco Aironet 1560 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 1560 Access Point The 1560 access point supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) and provides client access using the unlicensed RF Wi-Fi spectrum. The radios have 802.11ac Wave 2 capability. The 5 GHz radios have 802.11ac Wave 2 capability. The 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio can be used for client access or can be used for both client access and backhaul traffic. Depending on the model, the access point can support up to 1.3 Gbps data rates. The detailed technical specifications for the Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Points are available in the Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Data Sheet, at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1560-series/datasheet-c78-737416.h tml 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, 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.

Statement 1033 Caution Several forms of PoE are supported. See Table Table 2-9 for the PoE options and their corresponding modes of operation. 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). Power Injectors The 1560 series access points support the following power injectors:
AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1
AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2 Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord. Statement 1023 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). Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-11 Hardware Features Ethernet (PoE) Ports Chapter 1 Overview 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 power from the power injector or a suitably powered switch port. 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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-12 Chapter 1 Overview 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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-13 Network Deployment Examples 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 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 1-9 illustrates an example of access point-to-multipoint bridging. Figure 1-9 Access Point to Multipoint Bridging Example
(5 GHz)
(5 GHz) 4 9 4 5 5 2 Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 1-14 Chapter 1 Overview Point-to-Multipoint Mesh Network Network Deployment Examples The access point is typically deployed in a mesh network configuration. 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 1-10 illustrates a typical mesh configuration using MAPs and RAPs.

Ground rod, as required by local regulations Pre-Installation Checks and Installation Guidelines As 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:
Thoroughly review the information provided in Safety Guidelines and Warnings, page A-1.
For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco Wireless Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.3.
Review the FCC guidelines for installing and operating outdoor wireless LAN devices at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/3200-series-rugged-integrated-services-r outers-isr/data_sheet_c78-647116.html
Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the access point.
We recommend installing the access points no higher than 40 feet to allow support for wireless clients on the ground. Best throughput is achieved when all the access points are mounted at the same height.
The console port is under a sealed plug. Inspect the seal of the plug at the time of installation. Every time the plug is removed or replaced, properly tighten it. Tighten the plug to 15 lbf-in. If you do not tighten the plug properly, it will not meet IP67 criteria, and may lead to water leaking into the unit.
If the DC power port, SFP port, or the PoE-In port is not in use, then the ports covering plug must be tightened to 12.5 lbf-in torque. Otherwise, it may lead to water leaking into the access point. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-3 Unpacking the Access Point Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Note To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning expert.

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. An AC/DC adapter needs to be used for street light pole deployments. Step 2 Hold the bracket up against the pole, and slide the three band straps through the top, middle, and bottom sets of mounting slots on the mounting bracket (see Figure 2-6). Step 3 Wrap the band straps around the pole, lock them and then lightly tighten the clamps using a wrench. Only tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole Step 4 Step 5 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). 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 2-6). Note The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.

Two of four #8-32 screws and the mounting points used to mount the bracket to the AP. 4 2 5 8 4 5 3 Installing a Lightning Arrestor Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct contact with power lines, or through earth currents. 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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-40 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Installing a Lightning Arrestor The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-41 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point 4 Grounding the Access Point Figure 2-26 Lightning Arrestor Details 1 2 3 1 Nut 2 Lockwasher 3 Ground lug Cable for the Lightning Arrestor 2 8 3 6 4 3 5 4 Unprotected side (to antenna) 5 Protected side (to wireless device) 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. In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these instructions to properly ground the case:
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 anti-corrosion sealant (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface, called the Ground Pad, where the ground strap screw holes are located (see Figure 2-27). Connect the grounding lug to the access point grounding screw holes (see Figure 2-27) 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).

Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-43 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Powering the Access Point Powering the Access Point The 1560 access point supports these power sources:
DC power 42- 57 VDC
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) The 1560 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 1562I, UPoE powered switch port or a 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 1562I is powered by a PoE+ (802.3at power) switch port then the access point will automatically disable one of the 2.4 GHz transmitters and the radio will operate in 2x2 MIMO mode.

Connecting Streetlight AC Power The access point can be installed on a streetlight pole and powered from a streetlight outdoor light control using the optional streetlight power tap adapter and AC/DC power adapter, AIR-PWRADPT-RGD1=. The AC/DC power adapter is used inline from the street light tap to the 1560 DC connector. The AC power tap only can be used with the AC/DC power adapter. When powering the access point with AC power other than the streetlight power tap adapter, you must ensure that the following conditions are observed:
1. AC power can be conveniently cut from the unit, but not by disconnecting the AC power connector on the unit. 2. You must protect any AC power plugs and AC receptacles from water and other outdoor elements. You can use a UL-listed waterproofing enclosure suitable for covering the AC receptacle and AC power plug that supplies power to the unit as described in Article 406 of the NEC. 3. When you install the access point outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that powers the access point should have ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Statement 1022 Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-49 Powering the Access Point Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Warning Be very careful when connecting the streetlight adapter to Category 3 pole-top power. If you are not careful, you may electrocute yourself or fall. Statement 363 Caution Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord using a suitable service disconnect. The schematics of installing the AP on a streetlight pole are given in Figure 2-34 and Figure 2-35. To install an access point on a streetlight pole, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Turn off the AC power to the streetlight pole. Turn off power to the AC power source at the designated circuits. Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection.

Step 8 Step 9 Slide the cable gland with the rubber seal towards the access point, and screw the threaded end of the body into the access point, and hand-tighten. Use an adjustable wrench or a 28-mm wrench to tighten the threaded end of the body into the enclosure. Tighten to 15 lb-in. Step 10 Use an adjustable wrench and tighten the thread-lock seal nut to 15 lb-in. Step 11 Ensure that the antennas are connected to the access point before you apply power to the access point. Step 12 Route your Ethernet cable, and cut off any excess cable. Step 13 Install an RJ-45 connector on the unterminated cable end, and insert it into the power injector. Step 14 Turn on the power to the power injector. Connecting a Fiber-optic Cable to the AP The Cisco supplied fiber-optic kit enables the access point to support fiber-optic network connections. Your require the following materials for connecting the fiber-optic cable to the AP:
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module
SFP module adapter Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-55 Connecting Data Cables Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
SC or Duplex LC fiber-optic cables. The outer diameter of the fiber optic cable should be 0.24-0.47 inches (6-12 mm).
Cable gland. The cable gland cannot hold a cable with diameter more than 0.47 (12 mm).
Adjustable wrench You can connect the fiber-optic networking cable to the SFP port (labeled '4' on the base of the AP). The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module is used to connect the cable to the SFP port. The SFP port provides both Power-over-Cable and backhaul over fiber options. To install the SFP transceiver module and the cable, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Step 2 Ensure that all power sources have been disconnected from the access point. Remove the covering plug from the SFP port by following the guidelines given in this step. The SFP port covering plug is designed to be removed only once, and then be replaced with the SFP adapter. The plug does not have a rubber O-ring, but is fixed in place using a thread seal tape on the threads during manufacturing. While removing the plug, you need to ensure that its hex bolt-head does not get stripped. For this:
a. Place the AP on it's back (resting on the heat fins) on a solid, but padded surface, to avoid scratching the paint. b. Pressing down with your hand on the face of the AP and holding the AP firmly in place, proceed to the next step. c. Use a 5/8 (16 mm) 6-point socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt-head SFP port plug. Firmly and carefully, turn the socket wrench counter-clockwise to loosen the plug. This requires a torque of 25 ft-lb (34 Nm). Though not ideal, a 5/8 (16 mm) 12-point socket wrench can be used too. A crescent wrench is to be used only if the socket wrenches are not available. Do not use a pipe or monkey wrench for this task, as it will strip the hex bolt-head. Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Insert the SFP module into the SFP port, and ensure that it latches properly. Loosen the cable glands nut (round end of the cable gland) by turning counterclockwise, but do not remove. Thread the fiber optic cable, from its unterminated end, into the cable gland. See Figure 2-39 and Figure 2-40. Thread the cable through the gland all the way till the gland is near the SC or LC optic fiber connectors. The cable glands nut must remain loose at this time. Note The SC or LC optic fiber connectors are too big to pass through the cable gland. That is the reason why you need to thread the cable through the gland from the unterminated end (even if the cable is quite long). Step 6 Step 7 Insert the SC or LC optic fiber connector-end of the cable, into the SFP module adapter. Do not attach the cable gland to the adapter yet. See Figure 2-41. Insert the SC or LC optic fiber connector into the SFP module and ensure that it latches into place. See Figure 2-41. Step 8 Add sealant or tape around the adapter's pipe thread, and then it screw into the AP chassis. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 2-56 Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Connecting Data Cables Step 9 Keeping the cable gland nut loose, carefully screw the threaded end of the cable gland into the SFP module adapter and hand-tighten. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the threaded end of the cable gland to 6-7 lb.ft (8.1 to 9.5 Nm). Step 10 Tighten the cable gland nut until it is properly fastened around the fiber optic cable. Use an adjustable or open-end wrench to tighten to 2.7 to 3.2 lb.ft (3.66 to 4.34 Nm). Caution When removing this SFP assembly it is absolutely imperative that you proceed in the reverse order of this installation. Start by loosening the cable gland's nut.

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. For information on configuring the access point, see the following documents:

Changing the Bridge Group Name, page 3-8 Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-1 Guidelines for Using the Access Point Guidelines for Using the Access Point Chapter 3 Troubleshooting You should keep these guidelines in mind when you use the access point:
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. 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 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-2 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Bridge Loop 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. To see sample configurations for DHCP Option 43 for, go to the following URL:

The console port is located under a covering plug. The reset button is located under a screw. Figure 3-1 Console Port and Reset Button Location 1 2 1 Console Port (uncovered). 2 Reset Button (uncovered). Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the covering plug of the port. Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be re-plugged. The reset button is recessed in a small hole that is sealed with a screw and a rubber gasket. For information on how to use the reset button, see the Resetting the Access Point section on page 3-4. Inspect the seal of the plug and properly tighten it every time the plug is removed and replaced. Tighten the plug to 15 lbf-in. Resetting the Access Point Using the Reset button you can:
Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration.
Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files. To access the Reset button:
Step 1 Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the reset button screw. Ensure that your do not to lose the screw and the rubber gasket. Step 2 To press the Reset button, use a straightened paper-clip or a small screwdriver or a pen. See the section following this procedure for information on using the Reset button. Strictly follow this procedure after you have finished using the Reset button. Step 3 Inspect the gasket. If the gasket has any signs of damage, it should be replaced to avoid water leakage into the unit. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 3-4 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Monitoring the Access Point Status LED Step 4 Close the recess with the screw and the gasket. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw to 1.8 to 2 lb.ft (2.49 to 2.71 Nm). To use the Reset button, press, and keep pressed, the Reset button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait until the AP status LED changes to Amber. During this, the AP console shows a seconds counter, counting the number of seconds the Reset button is pressed. Then:
To reset the AP to its default factory-shipped configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for less than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared. This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.
To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files and the regulatory domain configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds. The AP status LED changes from Amber to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared. If you keep the Reset button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the Reset button is assumed faulty and no changes are made. Monitoring the Access Point Status LED If your access point is not working properly, look at the LED on the bottom of the unit. You can use them to quickly assess the status of the unit.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Log into your controller web interface using a web browser. You can also use the controller CLI show ap summary command from the controller console port. 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. 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:

Statement 1074 Caution All installation methods for mounting an access point on any wall surface is subject to the acceptance of local jurisdiction. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide A-2 Appendix A Safety Guidelines and Warnings FCC Safety Compliance Statement The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits. Safety Precautions 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.
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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide A-3 Appendix A Safety Guidelines and Warnings
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. 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. 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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide A-4 Appendix A Safety Guidelines and Warnings 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. Performing 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?
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. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide A-5 Translated Safety Warnings
