FCC Safety Compliance Statement

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio

frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved

Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in

OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found

in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.

Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the EU Directive 1999/5/EC

(R&TTE Directive)

This declaration is only valid for configurations (combinations of software, firmware and hardware)

provided and/or supported by Cisco Systems. The use software or firmware not supported/provided

by Cisco Systems may result that the equipment is no longer compliant with the regulatory

requirements.

2 Introduction to the Access Point

The Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Point (hereafter called the access point) is a

modularized outdoor access point designed for service in mesh networks. The access point can be

configured for one or two radio operation. Its 802.11b/g radio is used primarily for local access and

its 802.11a radio is used to provide wireless backhaul in the mesh. The access point is LWAPP

compliant based on Cisco’s Internetwork Operating System (IOS).

With two radios installed, the access point provides client access on its 802.11b/g radio, point-to-point

bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging and mesh networking on its 802.11a radio. With one radio

installed, the access point provides client access and wireless backhaul over its 802.11b/g radio.

The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio

transceiver that can operate in either the Upper ISM 5.8-GHz frequency band or the 4.9-GHz Public

Safety Band. The 5-GHz radio on the access point is used for backhaul operations to the controller.

Note The 4.9-GHz Public Safety band requires a license and may be used only by qualified Public

Safety operators as defined in section 90.20 of the FCC rules.

The access point is a standalone unit that can be cable strand or tower mounted. The access point can

also operate as a relay node for other access points not directly connected to a wired network.

Intelligent wireless routing is provided by the patent-pending Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol

(AWPP). This enables each access point to identify its neighbors and intelligently choose the optimal

path to the wired network by calculating the cost of each path in terms of signal strength and the

number of hops required to get to a controller. The access point is configured, monitored, and operated

through a Cisco wireless LAN controller (hereafter called a controller) as described in the appropriate

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide. The Cisco Mesh Networking Solution

Deployment Guide describes how to plan and initially configure the Cisco mesh network, which

supports wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh deployments. The controllers use a

browser-based management system, a command-line interface (CLI), or the Cisco Wireless Control

System (WCS) network management system to manage the controller and the associated access points.

The access point is compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and employs hardware-based

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption between wireless nodes to provide end-to-end

security.

3 Unpacking the Access Point

Note When you are unpacking the access point, do not remove the foam blocks attached to the

antenna connectors. The foam protects the antenna connectors during installation.

4 Becoming Familiar With the Access Point

The following illustrations show identify the access point connections. Before you begin the

installation process, use these illustrations to familiarize yourself with the access point.

Note The illustrations show all available connections for the configuration ordered. Unused

connections are capped to ensure the access point’s watertight integrity. Liquid tight

connectors are provided for all ports, which can be installed prior to or after deploying the

access point.

Figure 1 shows the access point bottom connectors.

Radio Operation

The 2.4-GHz radio supports three antennas for multi-input, single output (MISO) operation. The

radio uses three receivers to support maximum ratio combining (MRC) to enhance receiver

performance. MRC is a technique that combines the signals from multiple receivers in a manner to

optimize the signals. MRC can provide up to 3 dB of increased receive signal strength.

The access point does not support both radios configured for backhaul support.

External Antennas

Warning

In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas for this

product should be positioned no less than 6.56 ft (2 m) from your body or nearby persons.

Statement 339

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, because they

may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna,

please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical

Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).

Statement 1052

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this

equipment.

Statement 1030

The access point is equipped with three N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1, 2,

and 3) on the top of the unit for external antennas to support multiple input single output (MISO)

operation as shown in Figure 1. The access point also has three N-type RF connectors (antenna ports

4, 5, and 6) on the bottom of the unit for external antennas as shown in Figure 2. When using the

optional Cisco compact omnidirectional antennas, the 2.4- and 5-GHz antennas connect directly to

the access point. The Cisco omnidirectional antennas use vertical polarization.

The access point can also be equipped with specific third-party external antennas (see Table 1), subject

to local regulatory requirements. If you install third-party antennas, be sure to install them with all

waterproofing steps recommended by the third-party manufacturer. For additional information, see

the documentation shipped with the antenna.

Note The FCC limits the amount of power this device can transmit. Power transmitted is a

combination of the amplification of the signal and the antenna gain. The access point has been

designed to operate with the antennas listed below having a maximum gain of 8 dBi for

2.5-GHz and 17 dBi for 5-GHz antennas. Antennas not included in this list or having a higher

gain are strictly prohibited for use with the access point. The required antenna impedance is

50 ohms.
