Statement 1071

Overview

The Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series 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.

About the Access Point

The detailed up-to-date technical specifications for the Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Points are available in the Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point Data Sheet at:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/industrial-wireless-6300-series/datasheet-c 78-742907.html

The Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Point supports two radios (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) and provides client access using the unlicensed RF Wi-Fi spectrum. Each model is equiped with four external Antenna ports, four Ethernet ports (one POE-In port, one SFP port, and two PoE-Out ports), and one USB2.0/3.0 port to support add-on module.

CHA P T ER

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.

The IW-6300 access point is a standalone unit that can be wall or pole mounted. The access point can 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.

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)

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).

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Statement 1047

Statement 1052

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:

• 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:

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

Chapter 2 Before You Begin

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).

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.

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.

Statement 280

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:

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

–

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.

Installation Guidelines

Note To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning

Site Surveys

• 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.

expert.

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.

Installation Guidelines

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

• 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.

The IW6300 access point for hazardous locations can be connected to more than one power source. The access point detects the available power sources and switches to the preferred power source using the following priority:

1. AC or DC power

2. Power over Ethernet

Connecting a Power Injector

The power injector provides 55 VDC to the access point over the Ethernet cable and supports a total end-to-end Ethernet cable length of 100 m (328 ft) from the switch to the access point.

Powering the Access Point

Caution Power injector AIR-PWRINJ-60RGDx= is not certified for installation within hazardous locations

environments.

Note The PoE Out power is disabled when the access point is powered by the power injector. But the PoE Out

data link can still be active when using power injector.

When your access point is powered by an optional power injector, follow these steps to complete the installation:

Step 1 Before applying PoE to the access point, ensure that the access point is grounded (see Grounding the

Access Point).

Step 2 Connect a CAT5e or better Ethernet cable from your wired LAN network to the power injector.

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

Statement 1023

Use only the power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-60RGDx=) for the access point.

Note The installer is responsible for ensuring that powering the access point from this type of power injector

is allowed by local and/or national safety and telecommunications equipment standards.

Tip To forward bridge traffic, add a switch between the power injector and controller. Refer to the

latest Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide for more information.

Step 3 Ensure that the antennas are connected and that a ground is attached to the access point before you apply

power to the access point.

Conducting Periodic Cleaning

The access point is designed to not require periodic cleaning.

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.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the access point. Sections in this chapter include:

• Guidelines for Using the Access Points, page 4-1

• Controller MAC Filter List, page 4-3

• Accessing the Console Port and the Reset Button, page 4-3

• Monitoring the Access Point LEDs, page 4-4

• Verifying Controller Association, page 4-6

• Changing the Bridge Group Name, page 4-7

Guidelines for Using the Access Points

You should keep these guidelines in mind when you use the access points:

• The access point can only communicate with controllers and cannot operate independently.

• The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with

WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point associates to it.

• 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.

Important Notes

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

–

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.

• The access point PoE Out port should be connected only to a single peripheral customer device, such

as a camera or sensor gateway. We recommend that the PoE Out port not be connected to a switch or hub.

• 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

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

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.

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.

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

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 bottom of the unit. When two MAC

addresses are shown, use the top MAC address.

Check if Duplo has two MAC address on labels.

Controller MAC Filter List

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.

Monitoring the Access Point LEDs

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

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.

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.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

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.

REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

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:

Changing the Bridge Group Name

Step 1 Log into your controller using a web browser.

Step 2 Click Wireless. When access points associates to the controller, the access point name appears in the AP

Name list.

Step 3 Click on an access point name.

Step 4 Find the Mesh Information section, and enter the new BGN in the Bridge Group Name field.
