ap1600getstart.fm Page 2 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM 1 About this Guide This Guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 1600 Series Access Point. The 1600 Series Access Point is referred to as the 1600 series or the access point in this document. 2 Introduction to the Access Point The 1600 series offers dual-band radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with integrated and external antenna options. The access points support full inter-operability with leading 802.

ap1600getstart.fm Page 4 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Warning Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use. Statement 245B Warning In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.

ap1600getstart.fm Page 10 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Note You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space. Note Make sure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not be valid for that time.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 11 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Preparing the Access Point Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the site planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available: • Access point locations. • Access point mounting options: below a suspended ceiling, on a flat horizontal surface, or on a desktop.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 12 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected. A pre-installation configuration is also known as priming the access point. This procedure is optional. Note Performing a pre-installation configuration is an optional procedure.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 13 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide. a. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller Management and AP-Manager Interface. b. Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 14 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Note The 1600 series access point requires a Gigibit Ethernet link to prevent the Ethernet port from becoming a bottleneck for traffic because wireless traffic speeds exceed transmit speeds of a 10/100 Ethernet port. b. As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green, red, and amber sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 15 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM 8 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Aironet 1600 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

ap1600getstart.fm Page 19 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself. The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point.
ap1600getstart.fm Page 20 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 9:21 AM • The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point. • The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller.
