OL-19762-01

Cisco Aironet 1524SB Outdoor Mesh Access Point Hardware Addendum

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

Caution Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord using

a suitable service disconnect.

Installation Guidelines

Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can

reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

•For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the

Deployment Guide: Cisco Mesh Networking Solution.

•Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.

•Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and

from the access point.

•The access points can be installed at any height, but best throughput is achieved when all the access

points are mounted at approximately the same height. We recommend installing the access points

no higher than 40 feet (12.2 meters) to allow support for wireless clients on the ground in the

immediate vicinity of the access point; for example, directly below the access point.

Note To calculate path loss and to determine how far apart to install access points, consult an RF planning

expert.

Site Surveys

Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple access points, you should

perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and to maximize range,

coverage, and network performance.

Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:

•Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio

range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the

radio data increases.

•Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio

range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the

antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from

other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.

•Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.

•Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of

wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the

sending and receiving antennas.
