Quick Start Guide: Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point

Chapter 3 Installation Instructions
Installation Options
Note When used with the Cisco external omnidirectional antennas, the outdoor access point provides
the greatest coverage area and data transfer rate when the outdoor access point is mounted
horizontally and the omnidirectional antennas are mounted vertically. Figure 3-7 shows the
preferred outdoor access point and antenna mounting orientation. As shown in Figure 3-8, the
outdoor access point can be mounted vertically and the external antennas can be mounted
independent of the outdoor access point. Note that when you install the outdoor access point
vertically, you must install the AC Power and Ethernet and DC Power connectors facing DOWN
to prevent water intrusion.
