AP 1532E
The 1532E is equipped with two N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1 and 2) on the
bottom of the unit for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation in dual-
band mode, as shown in Figure 6. The 1532E must always be operated with the two 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 7. If the antennas are remotely
located, an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable should be used.
The 1532E access points are equipped with 4 N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports
1 and 2 on the bottom of the unit for 2-GHz and antenna ports 3 and 4 on the top of the unit for
5-GHz) for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation. The antenna ports
located of top of the 1532E are shown in Figure 3. The 1532E must always be operated with the appropriate
external antennas attached. Ports 1 and 2 can be used for Dual Band operation with a software configuration.
Note The antenna port caps must be removed for a uni-band antenna installation, but ports 3 and
4 should remain capped for a dual-band antenna installation to provide an IP67 seal
.
