Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessar y resource s aroun d the cloc k to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspe cts of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Preface

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational perform ance of the ne twork is impa ired while most business oper ation s remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is littl e or no effect on you r business operations.

Overview

The Cisco Aironet 1500 Ser ies Outdoo r Mesh Acc ess Point (h ereaft er cal led the acce ss po int) is a wireless device designed for wireless client access, point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point is a standalone unit that can be mounted on a str eet lig ht p ole or on a building wal l or overhang .ac cess p oint

The access po int i s available in two mode ls : L AP1510 (s uppo rts 2.4 -G Hz an d 5-G Hz ra dio s) a nd LAP1505 (supports a 2.4-GHz radio).The access point provides client access and supports 6 to 54 Mbps data rates without the ne ed for a lice nse. Th e LAP1510 mo del dedic ates the 5-G Hz radio for back haul operations to reach a wired network and uses the 2.4-GHz radio for wireless clients. The LAP1505 model uses the 2.4-GHz radio fo r both back haul and wi reless clie nts.

The access point can also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired network. Intelligent wireless r outing is p rovid ed b y the paten t-pending Ad apti v e Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal path to the wired netw ork b y ca lcula ting the c ost of e ach pa th in ter ms of signal str ength and the n umber of hops required to g et to a c ont roll er.

The access point is configured, monitored, and operated through a Cisco wireless LAN controller (hereafter ca lled a controller) as described in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Deployment Guide: Ci sco Mesh Netw orki ng Solu tion describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco Mesh network, which suppor ts wireless poin t-to-p oint, point- to-mult ipoint, and me sh deployments. The controllers use a browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points. The access point is compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) and employs hardware-base d Advanced E ncryp tion Sta nda rd ( AE S) en crypt ion b etw een w ire less nodes t o provide end-to-end se cu rity.

Network Configuration Examples

The access poin t is a wir eless d evice desi gned fo r wir eless c lien t a cce ss and po int -to-p oint bri dgin g, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-t o-multi point mesh w ireless conne ctivity. The access point provides 5-GHz back ha ul c apab ilit y to li nk wi th a not her ac cess point to r eac h a wir ed ne twork connection or to provide repeat er operat ions for other access points.

The access point plays two primary radio roles: a root access point ( hereafter called a RAP) or a non-root access point (hereafter called a MAP). When the access point has a wired Ethernet connection to the controller (throu gh a sw itch) , the radi o role is ca ll ed a RAP. A RAP is a parent node to any bridging or mesh network. A controller ca n suppor t one or more RAPs, each one pa renting t he same or different wireless networks. There can be more t han o ne R AP for t he sam e mesh ne twork f or red unda ncy. RAPs also support wireless clients on th e band not bei ng used for the backh aul inte rface.

When the access point does not have a wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch), the radio role is called a MA P. The MAPs have a wireless con necti on (throug h the back haul int erface) to other MAPs and final ly to a RA P wit h an Eth erne t c onn ect ion thro ugh a swit ch t o the c ontro ller. MAPs may also ha v e a wi red E thern et connec tion to a loc al LAN an d se rve a s a b ridge en dpoin t for that LAN (using a poi nt-to- poin t or po i nt-to- mult ipoin t brid ge c onn ecti on) . MA Ps also sup port wi reless clients on the band not used for the backhau l interfac e.

The access points are typically deployed in a mesh network configuration. In a typical mesh deployment, one or more RAPs have a wired network connection through a switch to a controller. Other remote MAPs without wired network connections use the backhaul feature to optimally link to a RAP that is connected to the wired network. In the mesh network, the links between the access points are referred to as the

backhaul links.

Intelligent wireless routing is pro vided b y the pat ent-pending Adapti v e Wireless Path protocol (AWPP). This enables each MAP to i dent ify its neig hbor s an d i nte llig ently c hoose t he op timal pa th t o t he RA P with the wired network connection by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the number of hops required to get to a cont roller.

Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions

Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.

For safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your installer’s life!

1. 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.

2. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed

installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your installer’s life is at stake.

3. 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.

4. When installing the access point and antennas, remember:

Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment

Cisco Confidential - Draft 1

a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or

5. Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.

6. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t 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 receiver’s maximum receive input level. At levels above normal the 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 will be less due to non line-of-sight propagation conditions.

OL-9977-05

• 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.

Installation Guidelines

Caution Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one access point to the antenna port

Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions

Cisco Confidential - Draft 1

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

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. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation ensures that the receiver is not damaged and PER performance is not degraded.

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

Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution.

• 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.

Note 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

2-6

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.

Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

OL-9977-05

Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions

Cisco Confidential - Draft 1

• 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.

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

“Configuring DHCP Option 43” section on page G-1).

Installation Guidelines

• Become familiar with the access point installation components (see the “Becoming Familiar with

Access Point Installation Components” section on page 2-7).

• Add the MAC addresses of the access points to the controller’s filter list (see the “Adding the Access

Point MAC Addresses to the Controller Filter List” section on page 2-10).

• Enable automatic configuration of access points on the controller (see the “Enabling Zero Touch

Configuration on the Controller” section on page 2-10).

Becoming Familiar with Access Point Installation Components

The access point is designed to be installed in an indoor or outdoor environment, such as an interior wall or ceiling or the exterior roof overhang of a tall building or a streetlight pole.

Note When you mount access point in an indoor environment, you must also mount the attached antennas in

an indoor environment.

Carefully review the following figures to become familiar with the system components, connectors, indicators, cables, system interconnection, and grounding:

Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-11).

Streetlight Pole Installations

The access point can be installed where power is available, without the need for a wired LAN connection. The access point uses intelligent wireless routing that is based on the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP). AWPP enables a remote access point to dynamically optimize the best route to the wired LAN network using another access point.

The LAP1510 model uses the 5-GHz radio for the Mesh backhaul Mesh connections. The 2.4-GHz radio is used for local wireless client access. The LAP1505 model uses the 2.4-GHz radio for both Mesh backhaul and local wireless client access.

The access point can be installed on a streetlight pole and powered from a streetlight outdoor light control using the optional streetlight power tap adapter.

Caution The access point can be powered by a light pole twist-lock outdoor light control that provides 100- to

240-VAC 50/60 Hz power. Do not connect to an outdoor light control powered by higher voltages.

When powering the access point with AC power other than the streetlight power tap adapter, you must ensure that the following conditions are observed:

1. AC power can be conveniently removed from the unit. The power should not be removed by

disconnecting the AC power connector on the unit.

Note When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet network to the controller,

the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol to bind to another MAP with the best path to a 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 an LWAPP connection to the controller and gets the shared secret configured on the controller under zero-touch configuration.

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

• The access points support Layer 2 or Layer 3 LWAPP communications with the controllers. In Layer

2 operation, the a cce ss p oint and t h e con t rolle r m ust be on the sam e subn et a nd co mm unic ate w ith each other usin g MAC addresses in encapsulated Ethernet frames. This operati on is not scalabl e to larger networks and not rec om mende d by Cisco .

In Layer 3 operation, the access point an d the controlle r can be on the same or di fferen t subnets. The access point communicates with the controller using standard IP packets. Layer 3 operation is scalable and is recommende d by Cisco. A Layer 3 ac cess 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 destinati on UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open for LWAPP communications. The route to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers must allow IP packet fragments.

Controller MAC Filter List

Prior to activating your access point, you must ensure that the access point MAC address has been added to the controller MA C Filter list. To view the MAC addresses ad ded to the c ontroller MAC filter list, you can use the control ler CLI or th e contro lle r GUI:

• Controller CLI–Use the show macfilter summary controller CLI command to view the MAC

addresses added to the controller filter list.

• Controller GUI–Lo g int o your c ontro lle r w eb i nte rface ( HTTPS) u s ing a w eb browser an d c hoo se

Using DHCP Option 43

You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling the access point to find and join a controller. Refer to the product documentation fo r your DHCP server for instructions on configu ring DHCP O ption 43. For add i tion al infor ma tion, re fer to t he

DHCP Option 43” section on pa ge G-1.

Misconfigured Bridge Shared Secret Key

If an access poi nt has a m isco nfigured br i dge sh ar ed sec ret key, it is not allowed to jo in t he me sh network. If Enable Zero Touch Configuration is checked on your c ontr oller, the ac cess point ca n obtain the shared secret key from the controller or a neighbor access point.

If Enable Zero Touch Configuration is not checked, you might need to check the feature to allow the access point to get a new bridge shared secret key (refer to the

the Controller” section on page 2-10).

Misconfigured MESH Access Point IP address

IP address misconfiguration can occur when you are re-addressing a segment of your mesh network and your first IP address change is the IP addresses of the RAP connected to the wired network. To a void this problem, always start the IP addressing changes from the farthest access point and work your way back to the RAP . This problem might also happen if you move equipment; for example, you uninstall an access point and redeploy it in anothe r physical l ocation on the mesh networ k with a differen t IP subnet.

Another option to fix this misconfigured IP address is to physically take a controller in L2 mode with a RAP to the location of the misconfigured MAP. Set the bridge group name for the RAP to match the misconfigured MAP. Add the MAP’s MAC address to the controller’s filter list and check Enable Zero Tough Configuration. When the misco nfigured M AP displ ays on the cont ro ller’s Summary page , you can properly configure the acce ss point.
