THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

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: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

•Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

•Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

•Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

•Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

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

The Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point or AP) is a modularized wireless outdoor access point designed for use in a mesh network. The access point also supports wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity.

The 1552 access point supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) and provides client access without the need for a license. The 5-GHz radios are primarily used for backhaul operations to reach a wired network and the 2.4-GHz radio is used for wireless clients. Depending on the radio, the access point can support 1 to 300 Mb/s data rates (for specific data rates, refer to Appendix D, “Access Point Specifications”).

The 1552 access point supports the modularity of the 1520 series and allows flexibility in radio configuration. In addition to full interoperability with 802.11n clients, the 1552 access point interoperates with legacy clients and offers enhanced backhaul performance. The 1552 access point can also be configured with an integrated DOCSIS 3.0/Euro DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem.

The access point is a standalone unit that can be cable strand 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 is 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, Release 7.3 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.

1.When a 1552E/EU is powered with PoE, the PoE-Out port is not active.

2, PoE-In is not 802.3af; it does not work with a PoE 802.3af-capable Ethernet switch. It requires the dedicated Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=).

The “-x” in the 1552 model numbers represent the domain. For example, in AIR-CAP1552C-x-K9, the -x represents a regulatory domain for a specific country.

For specific regulatory domains supported by each 1552 access point model, refer to the Wireless LAN Compliance Status at:

Connectors

The 1552 access point supports simultaneous dual-radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11b/g/n multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) radio and a 5-GHz 802.11a/n MIMO radio. The 2.4 GHz radio supports channels 1 to 11 in US, 1 to 13 in Europe, and 1 to 13 in Japan. It has two transmitters with a maximum total output power of 25 dBm for 802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable to 5 levels. It has three receivers that enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).

The 5-GHz radio operates in the UNII-2 band (5.25 – 5.35 GHz), UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47 – 5.725 GHz), upper ISM band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz), and the Extended India Band (5.85 – 5.875 GHz). It has two transmitters with a maximum total output power of 26 dBm for UNII-2 and Extended/ETSI bands. The total maximum output power for the upper ISM band is 28 dBm. Output power is configurable for 5 power levels in 3 dB steps. The three receivers enables maximum-ratio combining (MRC).
