Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points
Lightweight Access Point Overview
Note that the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point must have a DHCP server available on its local subnet, so it can obtain an IP address upon reboot. Also note that the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access points at each remote location must be on the same subnet to allow client roaming.

•AIR-AP1030-A-K9, AIR-AP1030-C-K9, AIR-AP1030-E-K9, AIR-AP1030-J-K9, AIR-AP1030-N-K9, and AIR-AP1030-S-K9 — AP1030 Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point (Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point) with four high-gain internal antennas, and one 5 GHz external antenna adapter and two 2.4 GHz external antenna adapters.
Refer to Appendix D, “Supported Country Codes” for information on supported regulatory domains.
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point is shipped with a color-coordinated ceiling mount base and hanging-ceiling rail clips. You can also order projection- and flush-mount sheet metal wall mounting bracket kits. The base, clips, and optional brackets allow quick mounting to ceiling or wall.
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point can be powered by Power over Ethernet or by an external power supply. The external power supply model is:
•AIR-PWR-1000 — Optional External 110-220 VAC-to-48 VDC Power Supply for any Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point.
The Single Inline PoE injector model is:
•AIR-PWRINJ-1000AF — Optional Single 802.3af Inline Power over Ethernet Injector for any Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point, powered by 90-250 VAC.
The projection and flush sheet metal wall mount bracket model is:
•AIR-ACC-WBRKT1000 — Optional sheet metal wall-mount bracket kit for any Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point. Includes one projection-mount and one flush-mount bracket per kit.
Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point External and Internal Antennas
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point enclosure contains one 802.11a or one 802.11b/g radio and four (two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g) high-gain antennas, which can be independently enabled or disabled to produce a 180-degree sectorized or 360-degree omnidirectional coverage area.
Note Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points must use the factory-supplied internal or external antennas to avoid violating FCC requirements and voiding the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
