External Antenna Option
Warning
In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas up to 8 dBi
gain for this product should be placed no less than 20cm (8") from your body or nearby
persons. This distance shall be increased to 40cm (16") with antennas that have gain
between 8 and 14 dBi.
Statement 339
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, 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
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment.
Statement 1030
The 1552 models E and H access points are equipped with three N-type radio frequency (RF)
connectors (antenna ports 4, 5, and 6) on the bottom of the unit for external antennas to support
multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation as shown in
Figure 7. The 1552E and 1552H
models must always be operated with the three external antennas attached. When using the Cisco
Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna, the 2.4- and 5-GHz antennas
connect directly to the access point, as shown in
Figure 8. The Cisco dual-band omnidirectional
antennas use vertical polarization. Models 1552E and 1552H access point antennas have 4 dBi gain
at 2.4 GHz and 7 dBi gain at 5 GHz.
