The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

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, bridging, and mesh wireless connectivity.

Note Mesh and bridge modes are not supported in Cisco Wireless Release 8.3 software.

About the 1560 Access Point

The detailed up-to-date 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 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 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.

The AP1562I model has an internal omnidirectional antenna. The 1562I access point 802.11b/g/n radio is used primarily for local access and its 802.11a/n/ac radio for wireless backhaul in the Mesh.

The 2 GHz b/g/n radio operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It supports channels 1-11 in the US, 1-13 in Europe, and 1-13 in Japan. It has 3 transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29 dBm for 802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable for 8 levels in 3 dB steps. It has three receivers that enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).

The 5 GHz a/n radio operates in the UNII-1 band (5.15-5.25 GHz), UNII-2 band (5.25 - 5.35 GHz), UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47 - 5.725 GHz), and the upper ISM band (5.725 - 5.850 GHz). It has three transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29 dBm depending on the regulatory domain. Tx power settings will change depending on the regulatory domain. Output power is configurable in 3 dB steps. Its three receivers enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).

AP1562D (Internal Directional Antenna)

The 1562D access point 802.11b/g/n radio is used primarily for local access and its 802.11a/n/ac radio for wireless backhaul in the Mesh.

The 2 GHz b/g/n radio operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It supports channels 1-11 in the US, 1-13 in Europe, and 1-13 in Japan. It has 2 transmitters with a maximum total output power of 27 dBm for 802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable for 8 levels in 3 dB steps. It has two receivers that enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).

The 5 GHz a/n radio operates in the UNII-1 band (5.15-5.25 GHz), UNII-2 band (5.25 - 5.35 GHz), UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47 - 5.725 GHz), and the upper ISM band (5.725 - 5.850 GHz). It has two transmitters with a maximum total output power of 27 dBm depending on the regulatory domain. Tx power settings will change depending on the regulatory domain. Output power is configurable in 3 dB steps. Its two receivers enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).

The 1562D access point is equipped with two integrated dual-band antennas with 9 dBi gain at 2 GHz and 10 dBi gain at 5 GHz.

AP1562E (External Antenna)

The 1562E access points is equipped with four N-type RF connectors. The 1562E can be configured via software to support dual band or single band antennas. When configured for dual band antennas, antenna ports 1 and 2 on the base of the unit (Figure 1-2) are used to support multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. When using the Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N or AIR-ANT2547VG-N omnidirectional antennas, the antenna can be connected directly to the access point (Figure 2-17). If the antennas are remotely located, an appropriate low loss RF cable should be used

Note Ensure that the antenna band mode is configured before the access point is installed.

When configured for single band antennas, antenna port 1 and antenna port 2 support MIMO operation for the 2.4 GHz radio, and antenna ports 3 and 4 (Figure 1-3) support MIMO on the 5 GHz radio. See the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for information on the software configuration.

Power Sources

The 1560 series access point supports these power sources:

•DC power – 42-57 VDC

•Power over Ethernet (PoE) – For more information, see “Powering the Access Point” section on page 2-44.

Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033

Caution Several forms of PoE are supported. See Table Table 2-9 for the PoE options and their corresponding modes of operation.

Caution When the access point is installed outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Power Injectors

The 1560 series access points support the following power injectors:

•AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1

•AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2

Warning To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord. Statement 1023

Caution When the access point is installed outdoors, or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that is powering the access point should be provided with ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
