Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Becoming Familiar with Access Point Installation Components
• Become familiar with the access point installation components (see the “Becoming Familiar with
Access Point Installation Components” section on page 2-9).
Becoming Familiar with Access Point Installation Components
The access point is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, such as the exterior roof overhang
of a tall building or a streetlight pole. Carefully review the following figures to become familiar with the
system components, connectors, indicators, cables, system interconnection, and grounding:
• Components in a typical access point installation (see Figure 2-1)
• Pole mount installation (see Figure 2-2)
• Streetlight power tap installation, works only with the AC/DC power adapter (see Figure 2-3). For
information on how to connect to Streetlight AC power, see Connecting Streetlight AC Power.
Note that this type of deployment requires an alternate AP mounting kit. See Mounting the Access
Point section for more information.
Note The illustrations in this document show all available connections for the access point. Unused
connections are capped with a connector plug to ensure the watertight integrity of the access point. Cable
glands are provided for connector openings, which can be installed before or after deploying the access
point.
