Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
AP1562E (External Antenna)
The 1562E access point is equipped with four N-type RF connectors. The 1562E can be configured via
software to support dual band or single band antennas. When configured for dual band antennas, antenna
ports 1 and 2 on the bottom of the unit (Figure 1-2) are used to support multiple input/multiple output
(MIMO) operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. When using the Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N or
AIR-ANT2547VG-N omindirectional antennas, the antenna can be connected directly to the access
point (Figure 2-19). If the antennas are remotely located, an appropriate low loss RF cable should be
used.
Note Ensure that the antenna band mode is configured before the 1562E access point is installed.
When configured for single band antennas, antenna port 1 and antenna port 2 support MIMO operation
for the 2.4 GHz radio, and antenna ports 3 and 4 (Figure 1-3) support MIMO on the 5 GHz radio. See
the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for information on the software configuration.
Multiple Power Sources
The 1560 series access point supports these power sources:
• DC power – 42-57 VDC
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) – For more information, see “Powering the Access Point” section on
page 2-47.
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
Warning
This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 366
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
Warning
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards.
Statement 1033
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Statement 1023
Caution Several forms of PoE are supported. See Table Table 2-9 for the PoE options and their corresponding
modes of operation.
