Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Connecting a DC Power Cable to the Access Point
When powering the access point with DC power, you must ensure that DC power can be conveniently
removed from the unit. The power should not be removed by disconnecting the DC power connector on
the unit.
Warning
A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Statement 1022
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
To connect a DC power cable, you need to supply these tools and material:
• Shielded outdoor-rated DC power cable (minimum 18 AWG) with outside cable diameter of 0.20 to
0.35 inch (0.51 to 0.89 cm).
• Adjustable or open-end wrench
• Small flat screw driver
• Two-pin DC power connector (Cisco supplied)
To connect the DC power cable to the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Before connecting DC power to the access point, ensure that the ground is connected to the access point
(see the “Grounding the Access Point” section on page 2-48).
Step 2 Turn off all power sources to the access point, including the DC power source.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
Caution When installing DC power to the access point, always connect the access point end of the cable FIRST.
When removing the DC power connector, always disconnect the access point end of the cable LAST.
Step 3 Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the Ethernet connector plug from the access
point. Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be
re-plugged. (see Figure 2-34 for the location of the DC power connector).
