14 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide
AP 7161 Hardware Overview
AP 7161 models can be purchased in a two or three radio configuration (see AP 7161 Hardware on page 7). Each
model has two band unlocked radios that can operate across the 2.4GHz, 4.9GHz, and 5GHz bands, subject to
country regulatory approval and outdoor/band use.
An AP 7161 must be installed by trained professionals familiar with RF planning and regulatory limits defined by
the regulatory bodies of the country where the devices are being deployed. All common precautions for grounding
and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection should be observed during deployment and installation. AP 7161
access points must be installed such that no harmful interference results from device operation.

The AP 7161 access point has the following port designations:
• Antenna ports R1-A, B and C, R2-A, B and C, and R3-A and B
• Console port
• GE1/POE - LAN port

The following sections describe the ports and connections for the AP 7161.
AP 7161 Antenna Connectors
AP 7161 two radio models (AP-7161-66040-US and AP-7161-66040-WR) are configured with six N type connectors
to support two active WLAN data radios.
When mounting antennas to ports R1-A, R1-B, and R1-C, ensure that you have selected the appropriate band for
the configured radio that uses ports R1-A, R1-B, and R1-C. In this instance, R1 ports relate to the software
configured radio 1 settings.
