Introduction
Perfect for extending network coverage to outside areas, the AP 7161 brings the latest 802.11n 3x3 Multiple Input Multiple
Output (MIMO) tri-radio design together with rugged outdoor performance. True perimeter security is provided using either a
dedicated dual band sensor or software mode for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to deliver 24x7 rogue detection and termination.
The AP 7161 is optimized with WiNG 5 intelligence, extending QoS, security, and mobility services to the access point to support
better capacity and performance. The AP 7161 is ideal for industrial, enterprise campus, video surveillance, public safety, and
smartgrid utility deployments to extend to the outdoors.
Deployments can be managed using the Motorola WiNG 5 architecture. The Motorola WiNG 5 architecture is a solution
designed for 802.11n networking. It leverages the best aspects of independent and dependent architectures to create a smart
network that meets the connectivity, quality, and security needs of each user and their applications based on the availability of
network resources including wired networks. WiNG 5 is a Third Generation WLAN solution which incorporates the best of both
the first generation Autonomous Access Point WLAN and the second generation Centralized Controller Based WLAN.
The control plane is now distributed between the access points and the controllers. The network administrator has the flexibility
of directing the data plane either being forwarded directly from the access points, or via the controllers. By distributing
intelligence and control between the wireless controllers and APs, the WiNG 5 network can route directly via the best path, as
determined by factors including the user, the location, the application, and the available wireless and wired resources.
Once adopted by a Motorola Solutions RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000 series controller, the AP 7161 is managed as an
Adaptive AP running the WiNG 5 network management protocol. Motorola Solutions WiNG 5 Networks extend the differentiation
that Adaptive APs offered to the next level by now having the services and security available at every point in the network. The
traffic flow is optimized to prevent wired congestion as well as wireless congestion. Traffic flows dynamically, based on user and
application, and finds alternate routes to work around any possible network choke points. Mixed-media application optimization
is the hallmark of WiNG 5 networks.
Extending the indoor network to the outdoors increases the need to guard against unwanted intruders and attackers, and
monitor network performance and availability. In addition to industry standard security for clients and radio backhaul, the AP
7161 provides true perimeter security using either a dedicated dual band sensor or software mode in the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz
bands. Concurrent around-the-clock dual band Network Assurance sensing and wireless traffic is provided together with
spectrum analysis, eliminating the need for separate devices.
An access point can function as a Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) sensor and upload sensor mode operation
information to a dedicated WIPS server. WIPS protects your wireless network, mobile devices, and traffic from attacks and
unauthorized access. WIPS provides tools for standards compliance and around-the-clock 802.11a/b/g wireless network
security in a distributed environment. WIPS allows administrators to identify and accurately locate attacks, rogue devices, and
network vulnerabilities in real time and permits both a wired and wireless lockdown of wireless device connections upon
acknowledgement of a threat.
Capacity in video surveillance solutions is critical to the performance of many networks designed to monitor and provide safety.
To assist with the deployment of video surveillance networks where the camera application resides, the AP 7161 offers band
unlocked radio flexibility. The user can choose between 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and 4.9Ghz bands for the radio type. The AP 7161
supports 3x3 MIMO technology, reaching a maximum data rate of 300 Mbps to maintain high performance and better quality of
transmission.
The AP 7161 is designed to optimize network availability through preemptive intelligence which dynamically senses weak or
failing signals, securely moves mobile users to alternate APs, and boosts signal power to automatically fill RF holes and ensure
uninterrupted mobile user access.
The AP 7161 band unlocked radios allow flexibility and deployment options for the public safety market. The powerful radio
increases coverage, performance, and obstruction penetration for outdoor use. Receiver sensitivity is increased proportionally
so users have an increased ability to maintain high performance access for mobility and client devices in the network.

28 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide
Installing the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Unit
Optionally, the AP 7161 access point can be powered by a standalone gigabit PoE injector or from a Motorola Solutions LAN
controller. A standard CAT5E cable can be used to provide the connection. When connecting to the GE1/POE port on the AP
7161, you must use the weatherproof RJ45 plug kit that comes with the unit and it must be properly installed to maintain a
weatherproof seal.
AP 7161 PoE Option
The recommended device for the Power-Over Ethernet (PoE) option is the Motorola Solutions AP-PSBIAS-7161, 1-Port 802.3at
Gigabit device. The device is IP66 rated for outdoor deployments. If the recommended Motorola Solutions gigabit PoE injector is
used, a weatherproof plug is provided for connecting the CAT5E cables. The port labeled DATA PWR OUT is used for the
connection to the AP 7161. The port labeled DATA IN is used for the connection to the wired network. If the CAT5E cable used
to connect the wired network and the PoE injector has to travel through a building egress, a suitable lightning protection system
must be deployed (see Ethernet and Lightning Protection on page 12).
The device injects power over Ethernet data cabling. It maintains both the IEEE802.3at and IEEE802.3af standards. These
power levels support use for a range of Ethernet-based applications, such as video phones, 802.11n access points, WiMAX
Transmitters, PTZ cameras and more.
The AP-PSBIAS-7161 DATA PWR OUT port is designed to carry gigabit Ethernet data and power over a standard CAT5E cable,
delivered through 2-pairs (Alt B: pins 4,5 (+) and 7,8 (-).
The DATA IN and DATA PWR OUT ports on the recommended Power-Over Ethernet (PoE) device for AP 7161 outdoor
deployments are shielded RJ45 data sockets.They cannot be used as plain old telephone service (POTS) telephone sockets.
Only RJ45 data connectors can be connected to these sockets.
Power is supplied to the unit using the LINE AC port. Connect the network LAN cable to the DATA IN port.
Use the supplied RJ45 connector to connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA PWR OUT to the GE1/POE port on the AP 7161
access point.

AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide 31
When connecting Ethernet cable from the DATA PWR OUT port on the PoE unit to the AP 7161 GE1/POE port, a properly rated
RJ45 connector is required. One Weatherproof RJ45 plug kit is provided with each access point. When connecting cables to the
AP 7161 Ethernet ports, follow the instructions in the connector packaging and tighten the connectors to create a weatherproof
seal. Shielded cables are required.
Other AP 7161 Power Options
In addition to the PoE unit, the AP 7161 Access Point can be powered using any of the following approved Motorola controllers
that support 802.3AT PoE:
• RFS 4000
• RFS 6000
• RFS 7000
• NX 9000
The AP 7161 can also be connected directly to a Motorola Solutions controller if it is located within 100 meters of the controller
and a PoE port is available. If the CAT5E cable used to connect the radio and the controller has to travel through a building
egress, a suitable lightning protection system must be deployed (see Ethernet and Lightning Protection on page 12).
NOTE When using controllers, the total power limits for the AP 7161 must be considered.
The two radio configuration draws less power than a three radio configuration. If
insufficient power is available, the software will disable the third radio and throttle
back performance on all radio and Ethernet interfaces.
32 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide
Basic AP 7161 Configuration
The AP 7161 access point receives its configuration once adopted by a Motorola Solutions RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000
series controller. There are no required initial configuration settings beyond verifying power and LED functionality for the access
point. Once adopted, the access point is managed by its connected controller and can receive periodic firmware updates when
Motorola Solutions releases updates with new controller functionality.
For information on how use a Motorola Solutions RFS Series controller to manage an AP 7161 access point, refer to
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
Antenna Type Configuration
For AP 7161 to operate properly, the antenna type and antenna gain must be configured manually.
Select antenna type with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#service antenna-type ap7161-dipole
Select antenna gain with following command:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)# antenna-gain <units in dBi>
These changes can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
Automatic Channel Select Override
Under certain conditions (e.g. the presence of a 40 MHz channel intolerant client or a legacy device on the extension channel),
a radio which has been configured for 40 MHz channel operation may automatically select the 20 MHz channel. To override or
restore automatic channel selection, use the following commands:
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
ap71xx-XXXXXX (config-device-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-if-radio1)#no service ignore-ch-width-mgmt
This change can also be made in the device profile configuration file.
NOTE An AP 7161 can operate as a dependent AP when configured/managed by a
Motorola Solutions RFS Series controller as noted above, or as an independent
AP. Please check applicable software Release Notes and System Reference
Guides to determine if independent mode operation is supported by a particular
software version.
NOTE For FCC and ETSI requirements, set the 2.4 GHz radio gain to 8 dBi and set the 5
GHz radio gain to 10 dBi.

Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS
Capabilities
The FCC, NTIA, FAA and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems
used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor wireless systems operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These
wireless devices are subject to Section 15.407 of our rules and when operating as a master device they are required to
implement radar detection and DFS functions. We are continuing our work to develop long-term equipment authorization test
procedures that will ensure that the devices comply with our rules that include protecting the TDWR operations. In the interim,
the Commission will now allow certification of wireless master devices with radar detection function and with DFS capability, if
they meet the following conditions:
• Devices will not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600 – 5650 MHz band.1
• Devices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows:
•Devices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band.2
•Grantees must provide owners, operators and all such installers with specific instructions in their user’s
manual on requirements to avoid interference to TDWRs and information that meets the following
instructions:
• Any installation of either a master or a client device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall be separated
by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency 3, 4, and 5.
1 The devices subject to the requirements in this KDB can select the initial channel for operation to avoid TDWRs and apply the
Uniform Channel Spreading requirements (see FCC 06-96 in ET Docket 03-122 released June 30, 2006) on the remaining
available frequency band of operation. All the other test procedures including the test radar patterns remain the same at the
present time. A revision to the measurement procedure with modification to the Uniform Channel Spreading requirement and
other changes will be released in the future. The Commission will also address the issue of any field upgrade option at that
time.
2 The grantee must identify the specific expertise and the training required by the installers for installingthese types of devices.
3 In some instances it is possible that a device may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs. In this case the device must ensure that
it avoids operation within 30 MHz for each of the TDWRs. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km
radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km radius of the TDWRs.
38 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide
4 The requirement for ensuring 30 MHz frequency separation is based on the best information available to date. If interference is
not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. In addition, devices with
bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation.
• Procedures for the installers and the operators on how to register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with the
appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device and installer information is included.6
• Devices must meet all of the other requirements specified in Section 15.407, and it is prohibited toinclude configuration
controls (e.g. country code settings or other options to modify DFS functions) to change the frequency of operations to any
frequency other than those specified on the grant of certification for US operation.7
• All applications for equipment authorization must clearly show compliance with all of the technical requirements under worst
case parameters, under user or operator control, based on frame rates, listen/talk ratios and user data transfer conditions.
All the devices subject to the DFS requirements must be submitted to the Commission’s Laboratory Division for pre-grant testing
and equipment authorization.8 The applicant must ensure that all equipment authorization applications subject to this interim
procedure include appropriate attestations that the device has no option to change the DFS parameters and that transmissions
are disabled at least in the 5600 – 5650 MHz band. The application must include the user’s manual with the appropriate
installation and operations requirements for the installers and operators.
We are continuing to evaluate additional measures that may need to be taken to further ensure against interference caused by 5
GHz outdoor wireless systems located near airports. While manufacturers have an obligation to ensure that their equipment
complies with FCC rules, and must take steps to ensure their devices are unlikely to cause harmful interference, Section 15.5 of
the Commission’s rules also places an obligation on users of devices to avoid causing interference and to correct any
interference that may occur.
We encourage the manufacturers to include information for the users, including the operators and installers, to ensure that they
understand that it is incumbent on them to cooperate with manufacturers to implement any changes necessary to facilitate
compliance.
5 Devices may be optionally designed not to transmit on channels which overlap 5570 – 5680 MHz instead of requiring installers
to perform site-by-site adjustments. In that case it is still required that the devices should be installed professionally and the
procedures for registering the device in the industry database should be included in the Users Manual.
6 A voluntary WISPA sponsored database has been developed that allows operators and installers to register the location
information of the UNII devices operating outdoors in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location (see
http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This database may be used by government agencies in order to expedite
resolution of any interference to TDWRs.
7 For example, device software must not have any country code options or software configuration settings which allow an end
user to modify the DFS operation or impact the performance of DFS. See KDB 594280.
8 The TCBs are not permitted to approve transmitters with radar detection capabilities. See KDB 628591.
9 The manufacturers may consider taking steps providing clear instructions to operators and installers of devices as to the need
to comply with rules for use of the band, guidance on registration of devices and any other processes that are designed to avoid
interference. They may use methods that include, but are not limited to, instructions in manuals, notification on product web
pages and service bulletins issued for products in the field.
