1 About this Guide This guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Aironet 1815T OfficeExtend access points. This guide also provides mounting instructions and limited troubleshooting procedures. The Aironet 1815T access point is referred to as access point or AP in this document. 2 About the Access Point The Cisco Aironet 1815T OfficeExtend access point is an 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wave 2) access point, with internal antennas. You can place the access point horizontally on a desk.
– Rogue Detection – BandSelect – Integrated Bluetooth LE 4.1 radio for location and asset tracking. • Real-time Service Extender which extends real-time services such as voice, wireless, video, and data to remote locations. • Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) connection between the access point and the controller. • The AP supports the following hardware external interfaces: – Three 10/100/1000BASE-T ports (local Ethernet ports), one of which also serves as a PoE-Out port (PSE-LAN1 port).
3 Safety Instructions Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in the translated safety warnings document that is shipped with your access point. The translated warnings are also in the Translated Safety Warnings for Cisco Aironet Access Points, which is available on Cisco.com. Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury.
Use only with listed Information Technology Equipment (ITE) equipment. For more information on ITE equipment, refer to article 645 of the latest National Electrical Code (NEC). Note 4 Unpacking the AP To unpack the access point, follow these steps: Step 1 Unpack and remove the access point and the mounting accessories, from the shipping box. Step 2 Return any packing material to the shipping container and save it for future use. Step 3 Verify that you have received the items listed below.

6 Mounting and Powering the Access Point The access point can be placed/mounted in a horizontal position, on a horizontal surface such as a table. To ensure the best RF coverage for your access point, place your access point in an area as close to the wireless clients as possible and practical to do so. If the Internet source or gateway router is in a remote area, position your access point away from metal obstructions. Areas to avoid or places that may result in reduced range or performance are as follows.
7 Configuring and Managing the AP Detailed information on configuring and managing the AP is provided in the Cisco Aironet 1815T OfficeExtend Access Point User Guide, at the following URL: (URL to be added later) 8 Checking the Access Point Status LED The location of the access point status LED is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. For privacy, the status LED is automatically turned off when the access point joins a controller.
Table 1 LED Status Indications (continued) Message Type LED State Possible Messages and Meanings Association status Chirping Green Normal operating condition. AP has joined to a controller, but no wireless client has associated with the AP. Chirping is short blips that look distinctly different from blinking. Operating status Green Normal operating condition. At least one wireless client association is present. Blinking Amber Software upgrade is in progress.
Table 1 LED Status Indications (continued) Message Type LED State Possible Messages and Meanings Cisco AP OS errors Red Software failure. Try disconnecting and reconnecting power to the AP. Cycling through Red, Green, Amber and off. General warning. Insufficient inline power. 9 Checking the Ethernet Port LEDs Each Ethernet port has two LEDs for showing Link (Green) and Activity (Amber) statuses. They are integrated on the RJ45 connector.
This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID. However, the regulatory domain provisioning is not reset. • To clear the AP’s internal storage, including all configuration files and the regulatory domain configuration, keep the mode button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds. The AP's status LED changes from Amber to Red, and all the files in the AP's storage directory are cleared.
