Aironet 1570 Deployment Guide

Overview

This deployment guide introduces the newest addition to the outdoor portfolio, the AP1572. The 1572 highlights include:

•Most advanced carrier-grade outdoor Wi-Fi AP.

•Dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz with 802.11ac Wave 1 support on the integrated 5 GHz radio.

•Maximum radiated RF power allowed by law.

•High Density Experience (HDX):

•Cisco®CleanAir™2.0 technology provides integrated spectrum intelligence for a self configuring and self-healing network

on 80 MHz channels.

•ClientLink 3.0 improves reliability and coverage for legacy 802.11n and 802.11ac data rates.

•Optimized Roaming to allow clients to join the most optimal access point.

•Turbo performance which uses Cisco ASIC design to maximize radio performance.

•Improved 802.11ac range and performance with 4x4:3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology.

•1.3 Gbps (5 GHz) 802.11ac data rates.

•Cisco Flexible Antenna Port technology.

•DOCSIS 3.0 / EuroDOCSIS / JapanDOCSIS 3.0, 24x8 hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) cable modem option.

•Improved radio sensitivity and range performance with four antenna MIMO and three spatial streams.

•Multiple uplink options (Gigabit Ethernet-10/100/1000 BaseT, Fiber SFP, Cable modem).

•Power: AC, DC, Cable, UPOE, PoE-Out (802.3at).

•4G LTE coexistence.

•NEMA Type 4X certified enclosure.

•Module option: Investment protection and future proofing.

•Low visual profile design.

•Unified or autonomous operation.

The New AP1572

The AP1572 series is an industry leading carrier grade 802.11ac access point (AP). The AP1572 has three models, such as an internal

antenna model with cable mode, an external model with cable modem, and an external antenna model.

The AP1572 can operate in the following modes:

•Unified Modes:

•Local

•Flexconnect

•Bridge

•Flexconnect with Bridge

•Monitor

•Spectrum Expert

•Sniffer

•Rogue Detector

Aironet 1572IC Product Details

The 1572IC has the following features:

•Two radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz):

•2 GHz: 4x4:3

•5 GHz: 4x4:3

•Power Options:

◦40 –90 VAC, 50 –60 Hz, quasi-square wave, Power over Cable

◦10 –16 VDC

•Console Port

•LTE and WIMAX Signal Rejection (2.1 / 2.3 GHz; 30 dB; 2.5 GHz; 35 dB)

•DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS 3.0 24x8

•GPS Option

The 1572IC has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Ethernet port and SFP port. Either the Ethernet port, SFP port, or Cable modem can

provide uplink access to the WLC, but only one uplink port can be used for WLC access at a given time. LAG for redundancy is not

supported. Ethernet Bridged wired clients or Daisy-chained APs should be connected to the Ethernet port only. The SFP port requires

an additional SFP connector to be inserted into the SFP port.

The 1572IC can be powered either by DC or Power over cable. The LED can be used to determine the status of the AP. The LED

flashing sequences are listed in the LED Flashing Sequences section.

The Console port is located on the side of the AP, covered by a metal cap. The AP MAC address is located on the side of the AP and

should be added to the WLC’s MAC Filter list or to a External AAA, for the AP to join a WLC while in Bridge mode.
