2. Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Points

Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Points are ideal for both enterprise and service provider network operators. They are currently the industry’s highest-performing outdoor access points and support the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac Wave 2. The 1560 Series provides high throughput over a large area with pervasive coverage. A fully operational system contains:

1.     Access point

2.     Software

3.     External antennas (1562E model only)

4.     Mounting brackets

5.     Power source

6.     Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP; optional)

7.     Accessories (optional)

Table 2 lists the part numbers for 1560 Series Access Points in a variety of configurations.

Table 2.       Cisco Aironet 1560 Series Outdoor Access Points

Note 1: “x” is a placeholder for the regulatory domain designator. Visit http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance (outdoor access points) to determine which regulatory domain is used in your country. Note that the regulatory domain used in your country may differ depending on access point model, and that some models are not available for all countries.

Note 2: For the United States only, you must use regulatory domain - B instead of the traditional - A. This is due to recent FCC rule changes that opened up the - GHz UNII-1 band for outdoor usage.

Use Table 2 and the remainder of this guide to identify the items that you need for your deployment. Note that some components are available as a “configurable” option or as a “spare.”

●   A “configurable” option ships in the same main box as the access point. For example, AIR-ACC1530-PMK1 is a “configurable” option and, if so ordered, is shipped with the access point in the same box.

●   A “spare” option is denoted with an equals (=) sign at the end of the part number. For example, AIR-ACCPMK1560-1= is a “spare” and, if so ordered, is shipped in separate packaging.

If making a return or trade-in, you might need to remove any option you installed before returning your access point to Cisco. Consult your Cisco representative for additional assistance in ordering mesh and other networking equipment.

These are standard items that could be included with each specific model:

1.     Access point

2.     Weatherization sealant tape for the antenna connections

3.     Fitting dome/gland: liquid-tight adapter for sealing the cable ingress connection

4.     Grounding lug

5.     Anti-oxidation compound for the ground connection

6.     DC power connector

Software Ordering Options

The 1560 Series requires, at a minimum, access point software release 8.3MR1 or later. Traditionally, additional functions are available for the access point with more recent releases. Read the applicable release notes for more information about features available with the latest software releases. You can specify the access point to be loaded and shipped with the default unified software as either “Unified Mesh,” “Unified Local,” or “Mobility Express” mode during the ordering process. Note that Unified Mesh will be available in a post-FCS software release. Table 3 lists the product numbers for each of these modes.

Table 3.       Access Point Software Options

Antennas

The Aironet 1562I Access Point has three internal dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) antennas that reside under a sealed radome and cannot be accessed or configured by the user.

The Aironet 1562D Access Point has two internal directional dual-band (2.4- and 5-GHz) antennas that reside under a sealed radome and cannot be accessed or configured by the user.

The Aironet 1562E access points are equipped with four separate N-type female connectors that carry dual-band signals or, through software control, can be configured such that the bottom pair of connectors carry only 2.4-GHz signals and the top pair carry only 5-GHz signals. This gives users multiple configuration options, as shown in Figure 1.

Table 4 describes the antennas available for the Aironet 1562E Access Points. The table lists part numbers for the antennas as well as gain and other details.

The access points are provided with a sealant tape to protect the antenna connector from weather. Consult the 1560 Hardware Installation Guide for proper installation.

Powering Options

The 1560 Series can be powered by multiple sources: AC, DC, or Power over Ethernet (PoE). For AC powering, an external AC-to-DC power adapter is required. For DC powering, a 2-pin DC connector is included with every access point. The access point can also be powered by Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) or PoE+(802.3at) directly from a switch or power injector. Table 6 lists part numbers for powering options.

SFP Options

All Aironet 1560 Series outdoor access points support fiber backhaul. The SFP port is built into the access point, but the mechanical interface is external to the access point. A special SFP adaptor/gland kit is needed to interface the fiber cable to the access point. Table 7 lists the SFPs and the adaptor/gland accessory kit.
