1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge and Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector.
Aironet 1500 Series APs
You can use either of these methods in order to power the Aironet 1500 Series APs:
∙Local AC power
∙DC PoE
∙Power that is supplied at the top of streetlight poles is AC power. Use the Aironet 1500 Series Streetlight Power Tap in order to plug the AP into this power source.
∙When an Aironet 1500 Series AP is installed on the roof of a building, you can use a power injector in order to supply PoE. The power injector converts AC power into DC power and sends the power along with the Ethernet signal to the AP. Use the Aironet 1500 Series Power Injector, along with the Aironet 1500 Series Outdoor Ethernet Cable, in order to power the AP. Do not use any other power injector. You need to specify the country−specific power cord with the power injector.
Note: You must use only the power injector that is specified for this model of access point in order to power up these APs. Power options such as PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources do not provide adequate power, which can cause the access point to malfunction and cause over−current conditions at the power source.
Note: You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off in order to avoid the AP being powered up through a PoE switch.
Note: This is because when the AP is powered through PoE switches, the AP experiences poor signal strength when implemented in a long distance range. APs powered through Power Injector do not experience this problem.
Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight APs
The Aironet 1000 Series Lightweight AP is an 802.11a/b/g dual−band, zero−touch configuration and management AP. It delivers secure, cost−effective wireless access with advanced WLAN services for Enterprise deployments. You can power the 1000 Series Lightweight APs with the PoE option or with an external power supply. IEEE standards−based 802.3af PoE allows you to power the 1000 Series Lightweight APs over unused pairs in the Ethernet cable. A power injector or a switch with inline power is necessary in order to power the AP with the PoE option. The external power supply option allows the 1000 Series Lightweight APs to be easily moved during the site survey in order to verify radio frequency (RF) building characteristics.
