1 Before You Begin
A fully integrated, high-performance, low-cost third-generation
(3G) small cell, your Universal Small Cell (USC) 5310 module is
a licensed radio network extension that connects to the module
port of the Cisco Aironet 3600 Series access point, which is a
UL listed ITE product. This small cell module contains a
dedicated 3G small cell base station that delivers mobile services
indoors, while offloading traffic from the outdoor macro
network.
Using the standards-based technology of Home Node B (HNB),
the USC 5310 module provides 3G signals inside a building for
voice, data and messaging services for up to 16 simultaneous
users within a coverage area of approximately 7000 square feet
(650 square meters). The module supports Band 2/5 for the
American market and Band 1 for the rest of the world.
System Requirements
This module is designed for use with Cisco Aironet 3600 Series
access points. The module is not designed for use with other
access points. The USC 5310 module is supported on these
Cisco wireless LAN controllers:
• Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller
• Cisco 7500 Series Wireless Controller
• Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller
The USC 5310 is supported by the following software releases:
• Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 7.6 or
later
• Cisco Universal Small Cell Software Release 3.3 or later
• Cisco Small Cell Solution Release 2.0 or later

Power Considerations
Installation of your small cell module requires an additional
6 watts to power the Cisco Aironet 3600 access point. With a
USC 5310 module installed, the access point requires the full
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) of 25.5 Watts at the egress
switch port and a cable run of less than 300 feet (100 meters).
Power options for the access point include:
• IEEE 802.3at POE+ 25.5 W delivered from the upstream
Ethernet switch
• Cisco 3600 Series Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ4=)
• Cisco 3600 Series local power supply (AIR-PWR-B=)
The USC 5310 module has a power limit circuitry that shuts
down the module if it draws more power than allowed.
Installation Considerations
Install your small cell:
• in a central location, in an area where people are most likely
to make calls
• away from windows, to avoid the signal leaking outside or
external signals leaking in
• in an open area with airflow; not in a closed cabinet which
reduces the signal strength
If you have thick internal walls, or metal, fire or rotating doors,
plan to place units at either side of the obstruction at a distance
shorter than 49 feet (15 m). Install a unit across from a corner
to provide coverage on both sides of the corner.

2 Install Your USC 5310 Module
Follow these steps to install the USC 5310 module:
Step 1 Remove the module from the packaging.
Step 2 Power down the access point.
Step 3 Peel off the label from the back of the 3600 series access
point to reveal the module port connector.

Step 4 Align the module connector with the connector on the
back of the access point and click the module into
place.

Point
Step 5 Screw down the thumb screws on the module.
Note If the screws are not tightened, the module will not be
recognized and may not operate correctly. Make sure
not to over-tighten the screws; they should be only
hand-tightened.
Step 6 Power up the access point. When the access point boots
up, it recognizes the module. No software
configuration is required.
Step 7 If necessary, mount the Cisco Aironet 3600 Series
access point, with the USC 5310 plug-in module
installed, using the universal bracket
(AIR-AP-BRACKET-2).
5
Note The universal bracket works with electrical boxes, can
be used for wall mounting, and adapts to ceiling
installations. It leaves a larger gap between the
mounting surface and the access point, which allows
space for the USC 5310 plug-in module.
For more information, refer to “Access Point Mounting
Instructions” at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/
wireless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html
3 Verify Your Installation
After the USC 5310 module is installed in the access point and
powered up, it takes approximately ten minutes for the module
to initialize, download any necessary software and
configuration information, configure the radio frequency (RF)
parameters, and come into service.
Take note of the initialization sequence by noting the color and
activity of the LEDs on either side of the module. The module is
ready to use when the LEDs change to solid green.
