Cisco Systems OL-7426-03 quick start

The Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point communicates with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller using standard CAT-5 (Category 5) or higher 10/100 Mbps twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. Plug the CAT-5 cable into the RJ-45 jack on the side of the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point.

Note that the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point can receive power over the CAT-5 cable from network equipment. Refer to Power Over Ethernet for more information about this option.

The Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point can be powered from an optional factory-supplied external AC-to-48 VDC power adapter. If you are powering the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point using an external adapter, plug the adapter into the 48 VDC power jack on the side of the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point.

The Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point includes two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g high-gain internal antennas, which provide omnidirectional coverage. However, some Cisco 1000 Series light- weight access points can also use optional factory-supplied external high-gain and/or directional antennas, as described in Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point External and Internal Antennas. When you are using external antennas, plug them into the male reverse-polarity TNC jacks on the side of the AP1020 and AP1030 Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points as described in the External-Antenna AP1020 and AP1030 Cisco 1000 Series IEEE 802.11a/b/g Lightweight Access Point Quick Start Guide.

Note: The Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points must use the factory-supplied internal or external antennas to avoid violating FCC regulations and voiding the user’s authority to operate the equipment, as described in FCC Statements for Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points.
