Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 11 C H A P T E R 3 Installation Overview Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional), on page 13 Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines, on page 15 Mounting the Access Point, on page 16 Attaching a Power Adapter, on page 26 Installing a Lightning Arrestor, on page 28 Grounding the Access Point, on page 30 Powering the Access Point, on page 31 Connecting Data Cables, on page 33 Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional) The following procedures describe the processes to ensure that your AP installation and initial operation go as expected. Note Performing a preinstallation configuration is an optional procedure. If your network controller is properly configured, you can install your AP in its final location and connect it to the network from there. The following illustration shows the preinstallation configuration setup:
Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 13 Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional) Installation Overview Perform the following steps:
Before you begin Ensure that the Cisco Controller Distribution System (DS) port is connected to the network. Use the procedure for CLI or GUI as described in the release appropriate Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide. Enable Layer 3 connectivity between APs, Cisco Controller Management, and AP-Manager interface. Configure the switch to which your AP has to attach. See the Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide for the release you are using, for additional information. Configure the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller as the primary so that new APs always join it. Ensure that the DHCP is enabled on the network. The AP must receive its IP address through DHCP. Note An 802.11ax AP is assigned an IP address from the DHCP server only if a default router (gateway) is configured on the DHCP server (enabling the AP to receive its gateway IP address) and the gateway ARP is resolved. CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network. The AP must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, see the product documentation. Note The AP requires a multi-gigabit Ethernet (5 Gbps) link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic. Step 1 Power the AP using supported power source. As the AP attempts to connect to the controller, the LED cycles through a green, red, and off sequence, which can take up to five minutes. Note If the AP remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the AP cannot find the primary Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller. Check the connection between the AP and the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet. If the AP shuts down, check the power source. After the AP finds the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the AP code version differs from the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks blue. If the operating system download is successful, the AP reboots. Step 2
(Optional) Configure the AP. Use the controller CLI, GUI, or Cisco DNA Center to customize the access point-specific 802.11ax network settings. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 14 Installation Overview Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines Step 3 If the preinstallation configuration is successful, the Status LED is green, indicating normal operation. Disconnect the AP and mount it at the location at which you intend to deploy it on the wireless network. Step 4 If your AP does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the preinstallation configuration. Note When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a subnet that is different from the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, ensure the following setup is configured:
A DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you plan to install the AP. The subnet has a route back to the controller. This route has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. The route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controller allows IP packet fragments. If address translation is used, the access point and the controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. Port Address Translation is not supported. Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the Site Planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available:
Access point locations Access point mounting options: To a vertical or horizontal wall or a pole Access point power options: Use either of the following options to power the AP:
DC power input Cisco-approved power injector 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt, and Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE) Operating temperature: -40 to +158F (-40 to +70C) with solar load and still air. Extended operating temperature (DC powered): -58 to +167F (-50 to +75C) without solar loading, still air, and cold start limited to -40C Console access using the console port We recommend that you use a console cable that is one meter or less in length. Note The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable (not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 15 Mounting the Access Point Installation Overview We recommend that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network. Mounting the Access Point Mounting Hardware The IW9167EH access point has built-in mounting flanges. You can also use the following mounting hardware:
DIN rail mounting bracket Pole mounting bracket Required mounting hardware depends on the mounting location:
For ceilings or hard ceilings or walls, directly mount the access point using the built-in mounting flanges. The mounting flanges are on the sides of the access point that are without ports. For electrical cabinets or network boxes, directly mount the access point using the mounting flanges or use the DIN rail mounting bracket. For pole mounting, use the pole mounting bracket. Mounting Bracket Part Numbers Note These brackets do not ship with the access point, but you can order them separately.

Installation Overview Step 5 Step 6 Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access point to any pole from 2 to 16 inch (5.1 to 40.6 cm) in diameter. For poles larger than 3.5 inch (8.9 cm), mount the pole clamp bracket assembly to a pole (see the following image) using two metal straps. Following the instructions provided with the banding strap tool (BAND IT)
(AIR-BAND-INST-TL=), loop each metal strap twice through the slots on the strap bracket. Caution Do not place the metal straps in the large open area between the pole clamp bracket and the strap brackets, because this does not properly secure the access point. Figure6:ClampBracketAssemblyMountedonPolesLargerthan3.5inch(8.9cm) 1 2 Pole clamp bracket Strap slot in strap bracket 3 4 Metal mounting strap Pole Step 7 For pole diameters of 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) or less, mount the pole clamp bracket assembly to a pole using two metal straps looped through the space between the pole clamp bracket and the strap brackets to provide maximum holding strength for extreme environments. Following the instructions provided with the banding strap tool (BAND IT)
(AIR-BAND-INST-TL=), loop each metal strap twice. Caution Do not place the metal straps in the large open area between the pole clamp bracket and the strap brackets because this does not properly secure the access point. Step 8 Position the pole clamp bracket on the pole as needed before tightening the metal bands. Note When the metal bands are tightened to the full tension, the pole clamp bracket cannot be adjusted unless the metal bands are cut or disassembled. Tighten the metal bands using the banding strap tool (BAND IT) (Cisco AIR-BAND-INST-TL=) by following the operating instructions in the box with the tool. Ensure that the metal bands are as tight as possible. Place the mounting bracket onto the pole clamp bracket support bolt. Install four M8 x16 bolts (with flat and lock washers) into the bolt holes.

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 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 Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 28 Installation Overview Lightning Arrestor Installation Notes 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. Lightning Arrestor Installation Notes This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor antenna and the Cisco 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. 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. 1 2 3 Nut Lockwasher Ground lug 4 5 Unprotected Side (to antenna) Protected side (to wireless device) Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 29 Grounding the Access Point Installation Overview Cable for the Lightning Arrestor 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 In all installations, after mounting the access point, you must properly ground the unit before connecting power cables. Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024 Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074 The access point is shipped with a grounding kit. Figure11:AccessPointGroundingKitContents 1 Grounding lug 2 Screws x 2, M4 x 6mm Note The grounding kit also includes the oxide inhibitor, which is contained in a tube. To ground the access point:
Step 1 Use a crimping tool to crimp a 6-AWG ground wire (not included in the grounding kit) to the ground lug. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 30 Installation Overview Powering the Access Point Step 2 Connect the supplied ground lug to the access point ground connection point using the supplied screws. Apply supplied oxide inhibitor between the ground lug and the access point ground connection. Step 3 Step 4 1 AP ground connection point Tighten the screws to 20-25 inch-lbs of torque. If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground such as a grounding rod or appropriate ground point on a grounded pole. Length of the ground cable should not exceed 1 meter, and 0.5 meter is preferred. Use supplied oxide inhibitor on the grounded interface. Powering the Access Point The AP supports these power sources:
DC power 2448 VDC Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 31 Connecting a Power Injector Installation Overview Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) The AP can be powered via the PoE input from an inline power injector or a suitably powered switch port. Depending on the configuration and regulatory domain, the required power for full operation is 802.3bt or UPOE. Connecting a Power Injector The AP supports the following power injectors:
Table6:SupportingPowerInjectors Power Source Description AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1=
AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2=
60W rated outdoor power injector, with North America AC plug 60W rated outdoor power injector, global version without AC plug IW-PWRINJ-60RGDMG=
60W rated outdoor power injector, 5GE The power injector provides DC voltage to the AP over the Ethernet cable and supports a total end-to-end Ethernet cable length of 100 m (328 ft) from the switch to the AP. When an optional power injector powers your AP, follow these steps to complete the installation:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Before applying PoE to the AP, ensure that the AP is grounded (see Grounding the Access Point, on page 30). Connect a CAT5e or better Ethernet cable from your wired LAN network to the power injector. Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 24 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023 Note The installer is responsible for ensuring that powering the AP from this type of power injector is allowed by local and/or national safety and telecommunications equipment standards. Ensure that the antennas are connected, and that ground is attached to the AP before you apply power to the AP. Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable between the power injector and the AP's PoE-in connector. Step 5 Connect the Ethernet cable to the AP PoE-In port. Connecting a DC Power Cable to the Access Point When powering the AP with DC power, you must ensure that DC power can be conveniently removed from the unit. The power should not be removed by disconnecting the DC power connector on the unit. Warning Connect the unit only to a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033 Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 32 Installation Overview Connecting Data Cables To connect a DC power cable, you need to supply these tools and material:
Shielded outdoor-rated DC power cable (18 AWG) with outside cable diameter of 0.20 to 0.35 inch (0.51 to 0.89 cm) Adjustable or open-end wrench Hex crimp tool: 0.10 inch (2.54-mm) Draft comment:
Need a section for M12 adapter installation and use. Need a section for DC micro-fit pin out and connection. To connect the DC power cable to the AP, follow these steps:
Step 1 Before connecting DC power to the AP, ensure that the ground is connected to the AP (see Grounding the Access Point, on page 30). Step 2 Turn off all power sources to the AP, including the DC power source. Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028 Caution When installing DC power to the AP, always connect the AP end of the cable FIRST. When removing the DC power connector, always disconnect the AP end of the cable LAST. Step 3 Remove the cap from the DC connector located on the side of the AP. Do not discard the cap unless you are sure the port will never need to be sealed in the future. Step 4 Connect the other end of the power cable to the DC power source using the power source wiring instructions. Connecting Data Cables This AP supports data connections through the Ethernet port and the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) port. However, both the Ethernet port and the SFP port cannot be used for data simultaneously. If you are using the SFP port to deliver data through a fiber-optic cable, the AP must be powered by DC power, power adapter, PoE+ power source (?), or a power injector. Draft comment: Is SFP port supported on all above power source?

Steps of using PG13.5 glands to be added. Connecting a Fiber-optic Cable to the AP (AIR-SFP-KIT1=) The optional Cisco accessory fiber-optic kit enables the AP to support fiber-optic network connections. You can connect the fiber-optic networking cable to the SFP port. The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module connects the cable to the SFP port. Before you begin You require the following materials for connecting the fiber-optic cable to the AP:
Cisco Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) adapter kit SFP transceiver module Duplex LC fiber-optic cables. The fiber optic cables outer diameter should be 0.24 to 0.50 inch (6 to 12.7 mm). The cable gland cannot hold a cable with a diameter more than 0.50 (12.7 mm) 12mm wrench or large flat blade or Philips screwdriver Adjustable wrench Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Disconnect all power sources from the AP. Remove the plug from the SFP port by following the guidelines given in this step. Do not discard the plug unless you are sure the SFP port will never need to be sealed in the future. a) Place the AP on its back (resting on the heat fins) on a stable but padded surface to avoid scratching the paint. b) Using a 12-mm wrench or large flat blade, or Philips screwdriver, turn the SFP port plug counterclockwise and remove it. Insert the SFP module into the SFP port and ensure that it latches properly. Loosen and dis-assemble the SFP adapter gland components.

Figure13:DuplexLCFiberOpticCable 1 Duplex LC optic fiber connector 2 Optic fiber cable Step 6 Using caution not to damage the fiber connector end, pass the fiber connector through the adapter gland components. Ensure components are ordered and orientated, as shown in Figure 13: Duplex LC Fiber Optic Cable, on page 35. Note Ensure you use the proper rubber gland combination. If the fiber cable outside diameter (OD) is 0.30 to 0.50 inches (7.6 to 12.7 mm), then the small rubber gland can be discarded. If the cable OD is 0.24 to 0.30 inches
(6.0 to 7.6 mm), then the small rubber gland is inserted into the large rubber gland. Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Verify the O-ring is correctly seated on the gland adapter body. Re-assemble the components of the adapter gland. Do not tighten the gland nut on the rubber inserts. Leave it loose so the gland can easily slide on the fiber cable. If you tightened the cable in this step, you might damage the cable. Insert the optic fiber connector-end of the cable into the SFP transceiver module and ensure it latches into place. Thread the adapter body into the SFP port on the AP. Tighten the adapter body by hand until it is fully seated. Inspect that the body is seated correctly. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten the body snugly to the AP body to approximately 13 to 17 lb-in (15 to 20 kgf-cm) of torque. Step 10 To seal the rubber gland to the fiber cable, hand tighten the gland nut. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten the nut revolution to make a water-tight seal on the cable to approximately 15 to 22 lbf-in (17 to 25 kgf-cm) torque. Caution When removing this SFP assembly, you must proceed in the reverse order of this installation. Start by loosening the cable glands nut. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 35 C H A P T E R 4 Configuring and Deploying the Access Point This section describes how to connect the AP to a controller. For instructions on how to configure the AP, see the relevant release's Cisco Wireless Controller Configuration Guide. Controller Discovery Process, on page 37 Deploying the Access Point in a Wireless Network, on page 38 Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 38 Controller Discovery Process The Cisco AP must join a controller to function as an AP and start serving clients. Cisco uses a process called controller discovery process to join a controller. The devices use Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) to communicate with each other. The AP can be plugged associated to a controller regardless of the physical location or logical location in the network. A new AP, out of the box, can be plugged in anywhere regardless of the subnet. After it is plugged in, it locates the controller, receives the controller version of the software image and configuration. After this is sent to the AP, it can start serving clients. Guidelines and Limitations You cannot edit or query any AP using the controller CLI if the AP's name contains a space. Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the AP might not join the controller because its certificate might not be valid for that time. The controller must discover AP before it can become an active part of the network. The AP supports the following controller discovery processes:
Locally stored controller IP address discovery: If the AP was previously joined to a controller, the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers' IP addresses are stored in the AP's non-volatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an AP for later deployment is called priming the AP. For more information about priming, see Performing a Preinstallation Configuration (Optional), on page 13. DHCP server discovery: This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP address to the AP. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see Configuring DHCP Option 43, on page 42. DNS discovery: The AP can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). For the AP to do so, you must configure your DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain, where localdomain is the AP domain name. Configuring Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 37 Deploying the Access Point in a Wireless Network Configuring and Deploying the Access Point the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backward compatibility in an existing customer deployment. When an AP receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the AP sends discovery requests to the controllers. Deploying the Access Point in a Wireless Network After you have mounted the AP, follow these steps to deploy it in a wireless network:
Step 1 Step 2 Connect the power supply and power up the AP. Observe the AP's LED. For LED descriptions, see the Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide. a) When you power up the AP, it begins a power-up sequence that you can verify by observing the AP's LED. If the b) c) power-up sequence is successful, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the LED blinks sequentially green, red, and off. When the AP has joined a controller, and there are no clients associated, the LED is green or blue when clients are associated with it. If the LED is not on, the AP is most likely not receiving power. If the LED blinks sequentially for more than five minutes, the AP could not find its primary, secondary, and tertiary controller. Check the connection between the AP and the controller, and be sure the AP and the controller are either on the same subnet or that the AP has a route back to its primary, secondary, and tertiary controller. If the AP is not on the same subnet as the controller, be sure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet as the AP. See Configuring DHCP Option 43, on page 42 for additional information. Step 3 Reconfigure the controller so that it is not the primary controller. Note Use the primary controller to configure the AP only. Avoid using this controller in a working network. Checking the Access Point LEDs The location of the AP status LED is shown in Connectors and Ports, on page 2. 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. However, the intensity of the LED can be changed through the controller. The AP status LED indicates various conditions and are described in the following table.

Note Using the Reset button does not change the booting OS (CAPWAP or URWB). To reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Press, and continue to press the Reset button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Press until the AP status LED changes to blinking red. It indicates that the Reset signal has been caught by u-boot. Press the Reset button for less than 20 seconds to reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration. The AP configuration files are cleared. Press the Reset button for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds to clear the AP internal storage, including all the configuration files. Note If the Reset button is pressed for more than 30 seconds, but less than 60 seconds, the FIPS mode flag is also cleared during the full factory reset of the AP. If the FIPS flag is set, the console access is disabled. The AP status LED changes to solid 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 button is assumed as being faulty and no changes are made. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 41 Troubleshooting the Access Point to Controller Join Process Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the Access Point to Controller Join Process AP can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates are not enabled on the controller; the AP and the controller regulatory domains do not match, and so on. Controller software enables you to configure the AP to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not have to enable any debug commands on the controller. View all the of the CAPWAP error messages from the syslog server itself. The AP is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the AP. Therefore, it can be challenging to determine why the CAPWAP discovery request from a particular AP was rejected. To troubleshoot such joining problems without enabling CAPWAP debug commands on the controller, the controller collects information for all APs that send a discovery message and maintains information for any AP that has successfully joined it. The controller collects all join-related information for each AP that sends a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller. The collection begins with the first discovery message received from the AP and ends with the last configuration payload sent from the controller to the AP. When the controller maintains join-related information for the maximum number of APs, it does not collect information for any more APs. An AP sends all syslog messages to IP address 255.255.255.255 by default. You can also configure a DHCP server to return a syslog server IP address to the AP using option 7 on the server. The AP then starts sending all syslog messages to this IP address. You can configure the syslog server for APs and view the AP join information only from the controller CLI interface. Important Information for Controller-based Deployments Keep these guidelines in mind when you use the AP:
The AP can only communicate with Cisco controllers. The AP does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the AP joins it. CAPWAP does not support Layer 2. The AP must get an IP address and discover the controller using Layer 3, DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. The AP console port is enabled for monitoring and debugging purposes. All configuration commands are disabled when the AP is connected to a controller. Configuring DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the AP, enabling it to find and join a controller. The following is a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for Cisco Catalyst lightweight APs. For other DHCP server implementations, consult the product Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 42 Troubleshooting Configuring DHCP Option 43 documentation to configure DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, use the IP address of the controller management interface. Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one AP type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each AP type. The AP uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the AP DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43).

Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 43 Configuring DHCP Option 43 Troubleshooting option 43 hex <hex string>
The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below:
Type + Length + Value 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 option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.

When used with approved Cisco antennas, Cisco Catalyst 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 to look at your proposed installation Plan your installation carefully and thoroughly before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is mostly a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and 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 AP or its 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. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 45 Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas Safety Guidelines and Warnings Use a rope to lift the AP. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. If any part of the antenna system comes in contact with a power line, do not touch it or remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas Danger 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 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 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. Contact 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. 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. 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 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. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 46 Safety Guidelines and Warnings Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment The radios on outdoor units (bridges) have higher transmit power levels than radios on indoor units (APs). When you test high-power radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the receiver's maximum receive input level. At levels above the normal operating range, packet error rate (PER) performance is degraded. At even higher levels, the receiver can be permanently damaged. To avoid receiver damage and PER degradation, you can use one of the following techniques:
Separate the omnidirectional antennas by at least 2 ft (0.6 m) to avoid receiver damage or by at least 25 ft (7.6 m) to avoid PER degradation. Note These distances assume free space path loss and are conservative estimates. Required separation distances for damage and performance degradation levels in actual deployments are less if conditions are not non-line-of-sight. Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level. Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other. Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total attenuation of at least 60 dB. For a radiated testbed, 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 AP to the antenna port of another AP 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 AP 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. Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 47 Performing Site Surveys Safety Guidelines and Warnings Performing Site Surveys Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple APs, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and maximize range, coverage, and network performance. Site surveys reveal problems that can be resolved before the network is operational. Because 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 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. Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
Data rates: Sensitivity 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 placement: Proper 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 environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. Obstructions: Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder the 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 APs 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 the proper permits, if required?
Are you following the proper safety procedures and practices?
Have you configured the APs 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?
