The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit
all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are
negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal
business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You
and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is
little or no effect on your business operations.

Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series lightweight outdoor mesh access point (hereafter called the outdoor
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 outdoor access
point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a building wall or overhang, on a rooftop pole, or on a
street light pole. It is a self-contained outdoor unit which can be configured with a wired backhaul
connection to an Ethernet segment for a rooftop deployment, or can be configured with a wireless
backhaul for a pole-top deployment.
The outdoor access point provides client access and point-to-point connectivity and provides wireless
backhaul in the 2.4-GHz UNII band as defined in the 802.11b and 802.11g standards and in the 5-GHz
UNII 3 band derived from the 802.11a standard. The outdoor access point delivers 6 to 54 Mbps data
rates without the need for a license.
The outdoor access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide. The Cisco Wireless LAN
Controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco
WCS (Wireless Control System) network management system to manage the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller and the associated outdoor access points.

Overview
Key Features
Power
The outdoor access point transmit output power can be configured to support many international
regulatory domains, as specified in the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide.
The rooftop outdoor access point receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter
called the power injector) or from a 110- to 220-VAC power source. Shielded Ethernet cables provide
Ethernet data and power from the power injector, and optional shielded power cables provide power from
the power source to the outdoor access point. The power injector is a separate unit designed for operation
in a sheltered indoor environment, such as inside a building. The power injector also functions as an
Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the Ethernet cable interface
to the outdoor access point.
The power injector uses an external 48-VDC power module and injects the DC voltage into the Ethernet
cables to power the outdoor access point.
Caution
Warning
Only use the power injector specified for the Cisco Aironet 1500 Series lightweight outdoor mesh access
point. Other power injectors, including 802.03af power injectors, can damage the outdoor access point
and/or can cause a hazardous condition.
The power injector and the power module should not be placed in an unprotected outdoor
environment.
External Antennas
The outdoor access point is equipped with an N-type RF connector on the front of the unit for an external
2.4-GHz antenna and with an N-type RF connector on the end of the unit for an external 5-GHz antenna
(see Figure 1-1). When using the optional Cisco external omnidirectional antennas, the 2.4-GHz antenna
connects directly to the outdoor access point, and the 5-GHz antenna connects to the outdoor access
point using the antenna’s included coax cable.
The Cisco omnidirectional external antennas use vertical polarization.
The outdoor access point can also be equipped with third-party external antennas, subject to local
regulatory requirements. Note that when you are installing third-party antennas, that they must be
waterproof and installed with all waterproofing steps recommended by the third-party manufacturer.
Warning
To meet regulatory restrictions, the outdoor access point and external antennas must be
professionally installed.
Ethernet Port
When used, the outdoor access point’s power injector port accepts a Mil-spec connector, linking the
outdoor access point to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the optional power injector. The
Ethernet cables are used to send and receive Ethernet data and to optionally supply inline 48-VDC power
from the power injector.

Safety Information
Warning
In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas for this product should be
positioned no less than 6.56 ft (2 m) from your body or nearby persons.
Safety Information
Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the outdoor access point.
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
Warning
You can be killed when installing the outdoor access point. To avoid this, locate the external antennas
away from electric power lines or other power circuits, or where they can come into contact with
such circuits. Make sure you follow all of the instructions and pay attention to all the Warning notes
in this manual.
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, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install antennas. In many of these
cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the
hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety
precautions. They may save your life!
1.
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power
lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
2.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed
installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake.
3.
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successfully raising a pole is
largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task, and should know
what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions
and watch for signs of trouble.
4.
When installing your antenna, remember:
a. Do not use a metal ladder.
b. Do not work on a wet or windy day.
c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or
jacket.

Safety Information
5.
If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, pole, 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 complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!
6.
If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Typical Outdoor Access Point Installation Components
The outdoor access point is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, such as a tower, street
light, or tall building. Note that you can install the outdoor access point at any height, but best outdoor
access point-to-outdoor access point throughput is achieved when the outdoor access points are mounted
within line of sight of each other.
A typical outdoor access point installation diagram is shown in Figure 2-1.

Installation Overview
Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Because the outdoor 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:
•
Install the outdoor access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio
signals to and from the outdoor access point.
•
Install the outdoor access point at a height sufficient to provide clear line-of-sight signal path.
Site Surveys
Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple outdoor access points, you
should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize
range, coverage, and network performance.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
•
Data 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.
•
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 performance of
wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the
sending and receiving antennas.
Unpacking the Outdoor Access Point
Note
When you are unpacking the outdoor access point, do not remove the foam block attached to the face of
the outdoor access point until after the outdoor access point is installed. The foam protects the antenna
connector.
Follow these steps to unpack the outdoor access point:
Step 1
Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents.
Step 2
Return all packing materials to the shipping container and save it.
Step 3

Administrative Rules for Cisco Aironet Outdoor Access Points in Taiwan
The operation of the low-power radio-frequency devices is subject to the conditions that no harmful
interference is caused to aviation safety and authorized radio station; and if interference is caused, the
user must stop operating the device immediately and can't re-operate it until the harmful interference is
clear.
The authorized radio station means a radio-communication service operating in accordance with the
Communication Act.
The operation of the low-power radio-frequency devices is subject to the interference caused by the
operation of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial,
scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental radiator.

Glossary
data rates
The range of data transmission rates supported by a device. Data rates are measured in megabits
per second (Mbps).
dBi
A ratio of decibels to an isotropic antenna that is commonly used to measure antenna gain. The
greater the dBi value, the higher the gain, and the more narrow the angle of coverage.
dBm
An absolute power level described in decibels referenced to 1 mW. 0 dBm is equivalent to 1 mW.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol available with many operating systems that
automatically issues IP addresses within a specified range to devices on the network. The device
retains the assigned address for a specific administrator-defined period.
dipole
A type of low-gain (2.2-dBi) antenna consisting of two (often internal) elements.
domain name
The text name that refers to a grouping of networks or network resources based on
organization-type or geography; for example: name.com commercial; name.edu educational;
name.gov government; ISPname.net network provider (such as an ISP); name.ar Argentina;
name.au Australia; and so on.
DNS
Domain Name System server. A server that translates text names into IP addresses. The server
maintains a database of host alphanumeric names and their corresponding IP addresses.
DSSS
Direct sequence spread spectrum. A type of spread spectrum radio transmission that spreads its
signal continuously over a wide frequency band.
EAP
Extensible Authentication Protocol. An optional IEEE 802.1x security feature ideal for
organizations with a large user base and access to an EAP-enabled Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) server.
Ethernet
The most widely used wired local area network. Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access
(CSMA) to enable computers to share a network and operates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, depending
on the physical layer used.
file server
A repository for files from which a local area network can share files, mail, and programs.
