Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Installing Antennas
Installing Antennas
Table 2-8 shows the external antennas supported by the 1562E access point and provides required
quantities for each model.
For installation instructions and detailed information on these antennas, refer to the appropriate
document located at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/wireless/aironet-antennas-accessories/products-installation-guid
es-list.html
Follow all safety precautions when installing the antennas. For information on safety, refer to “Safety
Precautions when Installing Antennas” section on page 2-35.
Non-Cisco Antennas
Cisco does not support any third-party antennas. RF connectivity and compliance of third party antennas
is the customer’s responsibility. Cisco does not recommend any third-party antennas, and Cisco
Technical Assistance Center will not be able to provide any support for third-party antennas. Cisco’s
FCC Part 15 compliance is only guaranteed with Cisco antennas or antennas that are of the same design
and gain as Cisco antennas.
Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas
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, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper
installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70,
National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Statement 280
1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting
method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.
2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric
power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
