Overview
The Cisco Aironet 1540 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, bridging, and mesh wireless connectivity.
Note
Mesh and bridge modes are not supported in Cisco Wireless Release 8.3 software. Mesh mode is not
supported in Cisco Wireless Release 8.4 software.
About the 1540 Series Access Points
The detailed up-to-date technical specifications for the Cisco Aironet 1540 Series Outdoor Access Points
are available in the Cisco Aironet 1540 Series Outdoor Access Point Data Sheet, at the following URL:
(URL to be added at CCO)
The 1540 series access points support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, and provide client access using
the unlicensed RF Wi-Fi spectrum. The radios have 802.11ac Wave 2 capability.
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios can be used for client access, backhaul traffic, or both. Depending on the
model, the access point can support data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps.
The access point is a standalone unit which can be wall, pole, or ceiling mounted, depending on the
model. The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points that are not directly
connected to a wired network.
The access point provides intelligent wireless routing using the patented Adaptive Wireless Path
Protocol (AWPP). This enables each access point to identify 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.
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 1-4). 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.

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 1-5. 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.

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.

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 1-6 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
Note
•
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 shipped with a cap on it. Inspect the cap at the time of installation. Every time
the cap is removed or replaced, properly tighten it. If you do not tighten the cap properly, it will not
meet IP67 criteria, and may lead to water leaking into the unit.
To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning
expert.
Before you begin the installation process, ensure the following:
•
Perform a site survey. See the “Performing Site Surveys” section on page A-3.
•
Your network infrastructure devices must be operational and properly configured.
•
Your controllers are connected to switch trunk ports.
•
Your switch is configured with untagged access ports for connecting your access points.
•
A DHCP server with Option 43 configured is reachable by your access points, or manually configure
the controller information in the access point. For information on configuring the DHCP Option 43,
visit the following URL:

Installing the Access Point
Configuring the Access Point
Configuring the Access Point
When you power up an AP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable network to the
controller, the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to bind to another
mesh access point with the best path to a root access point (RAP) connected to the wired network to a
controller. The access point sends a discovery request when powered up. If you have configured the
access point in the controller correctly, the controller sends back a discovery response to the access point.
When that happens, the access point sends out a join request to the controller, and the controller responds
with a join confirmation response. Then the access point establishes a Control And Provisioning of
Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) connection to the controller and gets the shared secret configured on
the controller.
For information on configuring the access point, see the following documents:

Troubleshooting
Guidelines for Using the Access Point
Guidelines for Using 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.
Bridge Loop
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.

Troubleshooting
Using DHCP Option 43
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 CLI—Use the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC
addresses added to the controller filter list.
•
Controller GUI—Log into your controller web interface 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:

Troubleshooting
Resetting the Access Point
Resetting the Access Point
The reset button is located on the base of the AP (see Figure 1-2). 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 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 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.
Verifying Controller Association
To verify that your access point is associated to the controller, follow these steps:
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Click Wireless, and verify that your access point MAC address is listed under Ethernet MAC.
Step 3
Log out of the controller, and close your web browser.
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.
Cisco Aironet 1540 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
3-6
Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
Changing the Bridge Group Name
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:
Step 1
Log into your controller using a web browser.
Step 2
Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access point name appears in the AP
Name list.
Step 3
Click on an access point name.
Step 4
Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field.
Step 5
Click Apply.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each access point.
Step 7
Log out from your controller, and close your web browser.

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.
Cisco Aironet 1540 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
A-2
Appendix A
Safety Guidelines and Warnings
•
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 points, remember:
– Do not use a metal ladder.
– Do not work on a wet or windy day.
– Do dress properly—shoes 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 an accident should occur, 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 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.
•
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.
•
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 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.
