CH A P T E R
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.

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
(2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)

(5 GHz)
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.

Overview
Network Deployment Examples
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.

(5 GHz)
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.

Overview
Network Deployment Examples
Point-to-Multipoint Mesh Network
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.

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 port’s covering plug must
be tightened to 12.5 lbf-in torque. Otherwise, it may lead to water leaking into the access point.
