Warning
To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of:75° C (167° F) Statement 1047
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
• Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.
• Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.
• Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
• When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
• Do not use a metal ladder.
• Do not work on a wet or windy day.
• Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
• Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.
• If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment
The radios on outdoor units (bridges) have higher transmit power levels than radios on indoor units (access points). When you test high-power radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the maximum receive input level for the receiver. At levels above the normal operating range, packet error rate (PER) performance is degraded. At even higher levels, the receiver can be permanently damaged. To avoid receiver damage and PER degradation, you can use one of the following techniques:
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
17
Page 26

Safety Precautions When Installing Antennas

• Separate the omnidirectional antennas by at least 2 ft (0.6 m) to avoid receiver damage or by at least 25 ft (7.6 m) to avoid PER degradation.
Note
These distances assume free space path loss and are conservative estimates. Required separation distances for damage and performance degradation levels in actual deployments are less if conditions are not non-line-of-sight.
• Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level.
• Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other.
• Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total attenuation of at least 60 dB.
For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
Before You Begin
txpwr + tx gain + rx gain - [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level Where: txpwr = Radio transmit power level tx gain = transmitter antenna gain rx gain = receiver antenna gain
For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr - [attenuation due to coaxial components] < max rx input level
Caution
Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one access point to the antenna port of another access point without using an RF attenuator. If you connect antenna ports, you must not exceed the maximum survivable receive level of 0 dBm. Never exceed 0 dBm, or damage to the access point can occur. It is recommended to keep the received signal strength at or below -30 dBm to avoid degraded PER. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation ensures that the receiver is not damaged and that PER performance is not degraded.
Safety Precautions When Installing Antennas
Warning
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280
1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting
method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.

Installation Guidelines

2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power
lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
3. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed
installation.
4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation
should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
5. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use a metal ladder.
• Do not work on a wet or windy day.
• Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
6. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and
metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.
7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove
it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.
8. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Installation Guidelines
Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
• For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco
Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide.
• Review the FCC guidelines for installing and operating outdoor wireless LAN devices.
• Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.
• Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the access point.
• The access points can be installed at any height, but best throughput is achieved when all the access points are mounted at the same height. Cisco recommends installing the access points no higher than 40 feet to allow support for wireless clients on the ground.
Note
To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning expert.

Site Surveys

Site Surveys
Before You Begin
Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple access points, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
• Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases.
• Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.
• Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
• Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.
• Applications and type of devices to be used on the WLAN.

Before Beginning the Installation

Before you begin the installation process:
• Ensure that a site survey has been performed.
• Ensure that your network infrastructure devices are operational and properly configured.
• Ensure that your controllers are connected to switch trunk ports.
• Ensure that your switch is configured with untagged access ports for connecting your access points.
• Ensure that a DHCP server with Option 43 configured is reachable by your access points, or manually configure the controller information in the access point (for additional information, refer to the software configuration guide).
• Become familiar with the access point installation components.

Access Point Mounting Orientation

Access Point Mounting Orientation
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Points are only intended to be installed vertically with antennas facing up. Any other mounting orientation will compromise the IP66/67 and type 4X ingress ratings required for safety and hazardous locations compliance.
The access point is oriented with the system LED pointing down and the access cover facing out. This positioning allows the LEDs to be visible to someone on the ground below the access point, and the I/O interfaces are on the bottom to minimize moisture ingress in case ports are not adequately sealed.
Note
Omnidirectional antennas are vertically polarized and should be mounted vertically.
The following figures show the dimension of the access point:

Guidelines for Using the Access Points

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.
• 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.
• If layer 3 functionality is enabled on your switch, make sure that DHCP broadcast and request can be passed.

Important Notes

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, or 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.
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, Ethernet bridging clients on the mesh access points, and wireless clients associated to an access point. It does not assign an IP address to other devices.

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.

Controller MAC Filter List

Before activating your access point, you must ensure that the access point MAC address has been added to the controller MAC filter list and that Mac Filter List is enabled.
Note
The access point MAC address and barcode is located on the side of the unit.
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

Page 59
Troubleshooting

Accessing the Console Port and the Reset Button

To view the MAC addresses added to the controller MAC filter list, you can use the controller CLI or the controller GUI:
• Controller CLI—Use the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list.
• Controller GUI—Log into your controller web interface using a web browser, and choose SECURITY
> AAA > MAC Filtering to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list.
Accessing the Console Port and the Reset Button
The console port and reset button are under a covering M25 plug located on the side of the access point, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 27: IW-6300H Access Point Console Port and Reset Button
Inspect the seal of the plug and properly tighten it at the time of installation, and also every time the plug is removed and replaced. Tighten the plug to 5-6 lb-ft. If you do not tighten the plug properly, it will not meet IP67 criteria, and may lead to water leaking into the unit.

Resetting the Access Point

Using the Reset button you can:
• Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration.
• Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files.
To use the Reset button, press, and keep pressed, the Reset button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait until the AP status LED changes to Amber. During this, the AP console shows a seconds counter, counting the number of seconds the Reset button is pressed. Then:
• To reset the AP to it’s default factory-shipped configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for less than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared.
Reset button2Console port1
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

Monitoring the Access Point LEDs

This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.
• To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files and the regulatory domain configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds.
The AP status LED changes from Amber to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared.
If you keep the Reset button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the Reset button is assumed faulty and no changes are made.
Monitoring the Access Point LEDs
If your access point is not working properly, look at the system LED and port LEDs. You can use them to quickly assess the status of the unit.
Note
It is expected that there will be small variations in LED color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer specifications and is not a defect.

You can also use the controller CLI show ap summary command from the controller console port.
Step 2 Click Wireless, and verify that your access point MAC address is listed under Ethernet MAC.
Step 3 Log out of the controller, and close your web browser.

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. MAPS with unconfigured BGNs will periodically join to RAPs with configured BGNs. This prevents the stranding of MAPs.
To configure the BGN for the access points using the controller GUI, follow these steps:
