some components are available as a “configurable” option or as a “spare.”
●
A “configurable” option ships in the same main box as the AP. For example:
AIR-ACCPMK1570-1 is a “configurable” option and, if so ordered, is shipped alongside the AP in the same
box.
●
A “spare” option is denoted with an equals (=) sign at the end of the part number. For example:
AIR-ACCPMK1570-1= is a “spare” and, if so ordered, is shipped in separate packaging.
If making a return or trade-in, you might need to remove any option you installed before returning your access point
to Cisco. Consult your Cisco representative for additional assistance in ordering mesh and other networking
equipment.
Table 3 lists the standard items that could be included with each specific model.

Cable Modem License
The cable modem (CM) license applies only to the two Aironet 1570 Series models that have built-in cable
modems, the AP1572IC and AP1572EC. These two AP models come with CM hardware capable of operating with
up to 24x8 channel bonding on the downstream (DS) and upstream (US), respectively. However, there is a right-touse (RTU) license (see Table 4) that must be selected in association with this hardware for the user to have the
right to operate these AP models. At a minimum, license option LIC-CM1570-08CH shall be selected in association
with AP1572IC and AP1572EC, even if the operator chooses not to use the CM. The RTU authorizes the user to
operate the CM hardware with up to 8, 16, or 24 bonded channels on the downstream. This RTU can be selected
as a “configurable” option at the time ofthe AP order, or as a “spare” at a later date. Note, however, that there is no
CM RTU upgrade part number available for this RTU license, and thus the user may want to consider purchasing a
16- or 24-channel license at the time of ordering if planning to upgrade the CM operation at a later time.

SW Cisco AP1570: Unified Local (e.g., 8.0.xxx) + IOS (e.g., 15.2.4-yyy); IOS added when available
Software Ordering Options
The 1570 Series requires, at a minimum, AP software release 8.0MR or later (see Table 5). Traditionally, additional
functions are available for the AP with more recent releases. Please see the applicable release notes for more
information about features available with the latest software releases. You can specify the AP to be loaded and
shipped with the default unified software as either “unified mesh” (SW1570-UM01A01-K9) or “unified local”
(SW1570-UL01A01-K9) mode during the ordering process.

Antennas
The Aironet 1572IC access point has four internal dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) antennas that reside under a sealed
random and cannot be accessed or configured by the user.
The Aironet 1572EAC and 1572EC access points are equipped with four separate N-type female connectors that
carry dual-band signals or, through software control, can be configured such that the bottom pair of connectors
carry only 2.4-GHz signals and the top pair carry only 5-GHz signals. This gives users multiple configuration
options, as shown in Figure 1.

Power
Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Points can be powered by AC, DC, power over cable (PoC), and Power over
Ethernet (PoE). Table 10 shows the powering options for each model.
Table 10. Powering Options for the Cisco Aironet 1570 Series
AC Power
To power the AP1572EAC from an AC power source, an AC cable is required. When powering the 1572EAC from
streetlight power, note that the maximum voltage is 277 VAC and requires the power adapter and the streetlight
tap. The Aironet 1570 Series also offers an option of a field-installable AC power cable connector kit to give the
user the option to source the AC cable locally and terminate the AP end with this compatible connector. Check the
hardware installation guide for these options. Table 11 lists the AC cable, tap, and field-installable connector kit
part numbers.

Power over Ethernet
The AP1572EAC can be powered over the Ethernet connection. Power can be sourced directly from an
appropriately powered Universal Power over Ethernet (UPoE) switch port or from the inline power injector listed in
Table 12.
Table 12. Power Injector for Use with PoE
You must also specify the country type AC power cord for the power injector.
The Aironet 1570 Series access points use a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Cisco does not provide an
Ethernet cable for the 1570 Series. You will need to source an outdoor-rated, Category 5 or better Ethernet cable
and shielded RJ-45 connectors from a local supplier. A liquid-tight gland is provided with the access point to seal
this cable entry point from weather.
DC Power
The Aironet 1570 Series access points support power from an external DC power supply. Check the data sheet for
the associated voltage, current range, and power consumption. A DC terminal block is included with the
AP1572EAC for this purpose. While not common, the cable-powered AP1572IC and AP1572EC can also use DC
power. For that, an accessory kit is available to provide DC terminal block connectors (see the accessories
section/table). Note that these DC connectors are specifically for the Aironet 1570 Series and should not be
interchanged with DC terminal blocks for the previous AP1520, AP1550, or 1530 models. When using DC power,
please consult the hardware installation guide for instructions on how to correctly assemble the connector.
SFP
All the Cisco Aironet 1570 Series Outdoor Access Points support fiber backhaul. The SFP is built into the AP, but
the mechanical interface is external to the AP. A special SFP adapter/gland kit is needed to interface the fiber
cable to the AP. Table 13 lists the SFP and the adapter/gland accessory kit, and Figure 2 illustrates them.

Accessory Kit and Optional Items
RF Cables and Lightning Arrestors
For customer convenience, Cisco offers RF cables to remotely attach external antennas to the Cisco Aironet
1572EAC and 1572EC access points. When you use cables between the antenna and these access points, Cisco
recommends that you add lightning arrestors to each port, particularly when the deployment is in an area with high
lightning activity. The lightning arrestor listed here, when properly grounded, provides robust protection against
induced currents in the RF cabling generated by nearby lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor does not protect
against direct lightning strikes on the access point. Table 14 lists and describes the RF cables and lightning
arrestor parts.
