contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco Aironet AIR-ACC245LA-N Lightning
Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over
voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed
according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive
interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system.
Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed
through on the wall of the protected space.
The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider
these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:

• Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.
• The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture.
• Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Installation Notes
This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor
antenna and the Cisco Aironet wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or
outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be
mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to
accommodate the lightning arrestor.
NoteThis lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a
grounding lug.
NoteWhen you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning
protection installation in your local area.
Installing Antennas
Installing the Lightning Arrestor Outdoors
If you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a heavy wire (#6 solid
copper) to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as
possible.

Grounding the Access Point
Cable for the Lightning Arrestor
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be
kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the
run, the greater the loss).
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor.

Statement 366
The 1532 access point supports these power sources:
• DC power – 24- 57 VDC
• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
The 1532 access point can be powered via the PoE input from an in-line power injector or a suitably
powered switch port. Depending on the configuration and regulatory domain, the required power for full
operation is UPoE. For the 1532E, 802.3at power is sufficient for all regulatory domains and full 2x2
MIMO operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. Either the AIR-PWRINJ4= or the AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=
power injector can be used.
For the 1532I, UPoE powered switch port or the AIR-PWRINJ1500-2= power injector is required for
full operation of the 3x3 MIMO on the 2.4 GHz radio in the regulatory domains that allow for high 2.4
GHz transmit power (Regulatory domains -A, -D, -F, -K, -N, -Q, -T, -Z). If the 1532I is powered by a
PoE+ (802.3at power) switch port or the AIR-PWRINJ4= power injector, then the access point will
automatically disable one of the 2.4 GHz transmitters and the radio will operate in 2x3 MIMO mode.

Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
What to Do Next
When you power up a MAP 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 (MAP) 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.
Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more information on configuring,
monitoring, and operating your access points.

Guidelines for Using the Access Points
Guidelines for Using the Access Points
You should keep these guidelines in mind when you use the access points:
• 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.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
–
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.
Important Notes
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.
3-2
Cisco Aironet 1530 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
OL-30864-01
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
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.
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.

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.
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:
Changing the Bridge Group Name
Step 1Log into your controller using a web browser.
Step 2Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access point name appears in the AP
Name list.
Step 3Click on an access point name.
Step 4Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field.
Step 5Click Apply.
Step 6Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each access point.
Step 7Log out from your controller, and close your web browser.

Monitoring the Power Injector LEDs
You can use the power injector LEDs to check the power injector status. The LEDs provide the following
status information:
• AP POWER—Turns solid green after successful discovery; indicates that power injector is
supplying power to the access point.
• FAULT—Turns solid red when a fault occurs during discovery mode or power-up. Check Ethernet
cables and connections before contacting your support organization for assistance.
• AC POWER—Turns solid green when power injector is receiving AC power and is ready to provide
power to the access point.
Using the Reset Button
The access point has a reset button located on the left side of the enclosure, inside the Console-Reset
port, under the hex-shaped sealed plug.
Using the Reset Button
CautionInspect the seal of the plug and properly tighten it every time the plug is removed and replaced. Tighten
the plug to 15 lbf-in.

Resetting the Access Point
Using the Reset button you can either return the AP back to its default factory-shipped configuration or
download the latest software image from the default TFTP servers.
To use the Reset button:
Step 1Using a wrench, remove the hex-shaped plug from the Console-Reset port. Do not loose the seal around
the plug.
Step 2To press and hold the Reset button, use a straightened paperclip or a small screwdriver or a pen.
• To reset the AP back to its default factory-shipped configuration, during power cycle, press and hold
the Reset button (for about 2 to 3 seconds) until the LED blinks amber.
• To download the software image (ap1g3-k9w7-tar.default) from the default TFTP servers (servers
with IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30), during power cycle, press and hold the Reset
button (for about 20 to 30 seconds) until the LED turns red.
Step 3Inspect the hex-shaped plug attached to the lanyard for any damage to the sealing face and the gasket. If
the gasket has any signs of damage, it should be replaced to avoid water leakage into the unit.
Step 4Replace the hex-shaped plug back and tighten it to 15 lbf-in.

Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI).
Step 2Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. These
commands are used to create a DHCP pool:
ip dhcp pool pool name
network IP Network Netmask
default-router Default router
dns-server DNS Server
Where:
pool name is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1000
IP Network is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1
Netmask is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2

dns-server DNS Server
Where:
pool name is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1530
IP Network is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1
Netmask is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2
Step 3Add the Option 60 line using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “VCI string”
For the VCI string, use the value from Table F- 1. The quotation marks must be included.
Step 4Add the Option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 hex hex string
The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below:
Type + Length + Va lu e
Type is always f1(hex). Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4 in hex. Va l ue
is the IP address of the controller listed sequentially in hex.
For example, suppose that there are two controllers with management interface IP addresses,
10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). The IP addresses
translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The
resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is listed below:
