PWR Connectors

There are two options for powering the access point:

DC input over the PWR connector.
PoE inline power over the PoE IN port.

Note

When powering the access point:

Power can be supplied via DC input (PWR connector) or PoE inline (PoE IN port), but not both.
We recommend that you not use two power options concurrently, but no harm results if both are present.
If using both power inputs, DC input (PWR connector) power takes precedence and PoE inline power is not used.
Power supply redundancy is not supported.

The access point requires a DC power supply. To power the access point with a DC power supply, you connect the DC power to the PWR connector on the bottom panel. The DC input voltage range is +12 to +48 VDC (-20%, +25%).

The PWR connector is an M12 A-code, 4-pin (male) connector. See Power Port and DC Input and PoE IN Specifications.

PoE OUT Port

Note

The PoE OUT port is only supported when the access point is powered over the PWR port. When powered over the PoE IN port, PoE OUT functionality is not supported.

The PoE OUT port is a 10/100/1000 BASE-T port with an M12 X-code connector. The PoE OUT port supplies PoE inline DC power to power external devices. The PoE OUT port pin-out conforms to Alternative A-MDIX mode.

Note

PoE inline power supports IEEE 802.3af compliant devices and delivers up to 15.4 W of PoE.

For more information about the PoE OUT, PoE IN, and DC input, see DC Input and PoE IN Specifications.

PoE IN Port

The PoE IN port is a 10/100/1000 BASE-T port with an M12 X-code connector. The port has auto-sensing and auto-MDIX capabilities.

Note

The PoE IN port is an alternate power input to DC input over the PWR port.

Power the access point over the PWR port to enable the PoE OUT port.
When powered over the PoE IN port, PoE OUT functionality is not supported.

For more information, see DC Input and PoE IN Specifications.

Protective Vent Port

The protective vent port relieves pressure inside the access point chassis possibly caused by changing temperatures in the installation environment. The vent prevents pressure from building up and damaging enclosure seals and potentially exposing sensitive components to water. The vent also protects the access point interior from dust, dirt, water, and other environmental elements.

Note

If the vent is removed or damaged, the access point is subject to moisture damage.

Reset Button

You use the reset button for configuration or image recovery. The reset button is under the protective vent port. To access the reset button:

Use a 5/8" socket to remove the protective vent.
Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Press and hold the RESET button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Press the reset button.
- Hold the RESET button until the Status LED turns blinking blue (usually, pushed for 30 seconds) to reset the access point to its factory settings.
- Hold the RESET button until the Status LED turns solid Red (usually, pushed for 50 seconds) to do image recovery.
Replace the protective vent using 5/8" socket.
Torque the protective vent to 5-7 inch-lbs.

Console Port

You can connect the access point to a PC or laptop through the RJ45 CON port. The RJ45 CON port uses the Cisco console port RJ45-to-DB9 cable (Cisco PN 72-3383-01).

A cable port seal covers the CON port. This liquid-tight plug protects the access point from environmental elements. Ensure that the plug is installed during normal operation or when unit is unattended. You can remove and install the port plug with a 1/2" (13 mm) socket. Torque it to 6-7 ft-lbs

For more information, see Console Port.

Ground Stud

The ground stud is the access point ground. You use screws to attach the wired grounding lug to the ground stud. Connect the other end of the ground wire to an earth ground such as a grounding rod or appropriate ground point on a grounded pole.

Top Panel Components

This section describes the top panel components.

Antenna Port

The antenna connector is a type N female coaxial connector.

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 guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide.
Review the FCC Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Outdoor Wireless LAN Devices (U-NII devices) Operating in the 5470-5725 MHz Band Data Sheet at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/3200-series-rugged-integrated-services-routers-isr/data_sheet_c78-647116.html

The above document provides guidelines to mitigate interference to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) as well as details on registering your access point with the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA).

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 devices.
For information on priming a Cisco universal access point, see the Cisco Aironet Universal AP Priming and Cisco AirProvision User Guide at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/ux-ap/guide/uxap-mobapp-g.html

Site Surveys

Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing an access point, perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and 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 extra height 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 an obstruction exists between the sending and receiving antennas.

Configuring the Access Point

Management Options

You can manage the access point using the following options:

Using the Command Line Interface
Using the Web Browser Interface

Using the Command Line Interface

Use either of the following methods to access the CLI:

Telnet—This protocol allows TCP/IP connections to a host. Telnet allows a user at one site to establish a TCP connection to a login server at another site, and then pass the keystrokes from one device to the other. Telnet can accept either an IP address or domain name as the remote device address.
Secure Shell (SSH)—This protocol provides a secure, remote connection to networking devices. The SSH software package provides secure login sessions by encrypting the entire session. SSH features strong cryptographic authentication, strong encryption, and integrity protection.

For more information about using the CLI, see the “Using the Command-Line Interface” chapter of the Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access Points.

Using the Web Browser Interface

The web browser interface contains management pages you can use to change the wireless device settings, upgrade firmware, and monitor and configure other wireless devices on the network.

You use the wireless device IP address of the access point to access the web browser interface. Prior to using the web browser interface for the first time, you must assign an IP address to the access point (see Configuring the Access Point).

To use the web browser interface:

SUMMARY STEPS

Open your browser and enter the IP address of the access point in the address field.
Enter the user name Cisco and password Cisco.
Use the system management pages to define the access point configuration settings.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Open your browser and enter the IP address of the access point in the address field.

The login screen appears.

Step 2

Enter the user name Cisco and password Cisco.

The username and password are case-sensitive.

Note

We recommend that you change your user name and password after first-time log in.

Step 3

Use the system management pages to define the access point configuration settings.

What to do next

For more information about using the web browser interface, see the “Using the Web Browser Interface” chapter of the Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access Points.

Configuring the Access Point

Note

Refer to Installation Guidelines for details on registering your access point with the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) database.

Obtaining an IP Address

Your access point requires an IP address to operate. The access point is not shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address from the DHCP server in your network when you make the connection. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. You must configure the IP address by opening the CLI from a terminal session established through the console port on the access point.

You must know the IP address assigned to the access before you can use the browser-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address the network DHCP server, you or your network administrator can obtain it by querying the DHCP server using the MAC address of the access point.

For more information, see the “Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address” section of the “Configuring the Access Point for the First Time” chapter of the Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access Points.

Connecting to the Access Point Console Port

You can connect to the console port and open the CLI from a terminal session to begin configuring the device.

To connect to the access point:

SUMMARY STEPS

Use a 0.5 in. (13 mm) socket wrench to remove the console (CON) port cover by turning it counterclockwise.
Connect the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on the PC.
Connect the other end of the cable to the access point console port.
Set up a terminal emulator (for example, puTTy or SSH) on your PC to communicate with the access point, using the following connection settings:
When connected, press enter or type en to access the command prompt.
Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to depress the tab on the RJ45 connector and disconnect the cable from the CON port.

Use the system management pages in the web browser interface to set the access point settings. For information on how to access the web browser interface, see Configuring the Access Point for Autonomous Operation.

Use the system management pages to define configuration settings. A navigation bar appears on the left side of the page; the configuration action buttons appear at the bottom. Use the navigation bar to access the various management pages. Use the configuration action buttons to save or cancel setting changes.

Configuring the Access Point for Autonomous Operation

For information about configuring the access point for autonomous operations, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access Points.

Connecting the Access Point to a Wireless LAN Controller

This section describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller. Because the configuration process occurs on the controller, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for additional information.

The Controller Discovery Process

The access point uses standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other wireless access points on the network. CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol that allows an access controller to manage a collection of wireless termination points. The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with Cisco IW3702 access points. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers.

The functionality provided by the controller does not change, except for customers who have Layer 2 deployments, which CAPWAP does not support.

In a CAPWAP environment, the wireless access point discovers a controller by using CAPWAP discovery mechanisms and then sends it a CAPWAP join request. The controller sends the access point a CAPWAP join response to allow the access point to join the controller. When the access point joins the controller, the controller manages its configuration, firmware, control transactions, and data transactions.

For additional information about the discovery process and CAPWAP, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Software Configuration Guide .

Note

Refer to the Release Notes for the minimum required Cisco Wireless LAN Controller software release for the Cisco IW3702 access points.

You cannot edit or query any access point using the controller CLI if the name of the access point contains a space.
Ensure that the controller is set to the current time. If the controller is set to a time that has already occurred, the access point might not join the controller because its certificate may not yet be valid.

Access points must be discovered by a controller before they can become active in the network. The access point supports these controller discovery processes:

Layer 3 CAPWAP discovery—Can occur on different subnets than the access point and uses IP addresses and UDP packets rather than MAC addresses used by Layer 2 discovery.
Locally stored controller IP address discovery—If the access point was previously joined to a controller, the IP addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers are stored in the access point’s non-volatile memory. This process of storing controller IP addresses on an access point for later deployment is called priming the access point . See Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration.
DHCP server discovery—This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. See Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60.
DNS discovery—The access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS). To use this discovery method, you must configure the DNS to return controller IP addresses in response to CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain , where localdomain is the access point domain name. Configuring the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER provides backward compatibility in an existing deployment. When an access point receives the IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the access point sends discovery requests to the controllers.

Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration

The following procedures ensure a successful access point installation and initial operational setup. Pre-installation configuration – priming the access point – is optional.

Note

If your network controller already properly configured, you can skip priming and simply install your access point in its final location and connect it to the network. See Deploying in a Wireless Network.

The following figure shows the pre-installation configuration setup.

Figure 9. Pre-Installation Configuration Setup

To prime the access point:

SUMMARY STEPS

Ensure that the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Management DS Port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, browser-based interface, or Cisco WCS procedures described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless LAN Controller guide to perform the following:
Apply power to the access point:
(Optional) Configure the access point.
Disconnect the access point and mount it in location.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Ensure that the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Management DS Port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, browser-based interface, or Cisco WCS procedures described in the appropriate Cisco Wireless LAN Controller guide to perform the following:

Ensure that the access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Management and AP-Manager Interface.
Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the appropriate Cisco Wireless LAN Controller guide.
Set the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller as the master so that new access points always join with it.

Ensure that DHCP is enabled on the network.

Note

The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP.

Ensure that no CAPWAP UDP ports are blocked in the network.
Use a DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast to ensure that the access point finds the IP address of the controller.

This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to product documentation. See also Using DHCP Option 43.

Step 2

Apply power to the access point:

The access point is IEEE 802.3at (30 W) compliant and can be powered by a third-party DC power supply that you provide. The Cisco power injector option is AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=.

Note

The access point downgrades to 3x3 when connected to a 15.4W power supply. For maximum operating efficiency, use an IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE switch or AIR-PWRINJ1500-2= power injector.
To prevent Ethernet port bottlenecks due to wireless traffic speeds exceeding 10/100 Ethernet port transmit speeds, the Cisco IW3702 access point requires a Gigabit Ethernet link.

As the access point attempts to connect to the controller, the LEDs cycle through a green-red-amber sequence, which can take up to 5 minutes.

Note

If this connection takes longer than five minutes, the access point cannot find the master Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. Check the connection, and ensure that both are on the same subnet.
To prevent Ethernet port bottlenecks due to wireless traffic speeds exceeding 10/100 Ethernet port transmit speeds, the Cisco IW3702 access point requires a Gigabit Ethernet link.
If the access point shuts down, check the power source.

After a successful connection, the access point compares operating system code versions with the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. If versions differ, it downloads the newest version. The Status LED blinks dark blue during this process. On a successful download, the access point reboots.

Step 3

(Optional) Configure the access point.

Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure to customize access-point-specific IEEE 802.11ac network settings.

On successful access point priming, the Status LED is green indicating normal operation.

Step 4

Disconnect the access point and mount it in location.


Notes:	If the access point LEDs do not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the access point priming procedure (see Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration). When installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, ensure that: a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you are installing the access point and that subnet has a return route to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. the return route to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller has destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications. the return route to the primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers allows IP packet fragments. if using address translation, the access point and the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port address translation is not supported.)

Using DHCP Option 43

You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling them to find and join a controller. For additional information, refer to Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60.

Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60

This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco wireless access points. For other DHCP server implementations, consult the product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43.

With DHCP Option 43, use the IP address of the controller management interface.


Notes:	DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string of the access point (DHCP Option 60). The VCI string for the access point is: `Cisco AP iw3702` If you ordered an access point with the Service Provider Option (AIR-OPT60-DHCP) selected in the ordering tool, the VCI string for the access point contains -ServiceProvider . For example, an access point with this option returns this VCI string: `Cisco AP iw3702-ServiceProvider`

The Cisco IW3702 access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. The TLV block format is:

Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)
Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4
Value: List of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller management interfaces

To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server:

SUMMARY STEPS

Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI.
Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server.
Add the option 60 line using the following syntax:
Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI.

Step 2

Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server.

Example DHCP scope commands:

Example:


ip dhcp pool pool_name
network IP_network netmask
default-router default_router
dns-server DNS_Server

where,

pool_name is the name of the DHCP pool (for example, AP3702).
IP_network is the network IP address where the controller resides (for example, 10.0.15.1).
netmask is the subnet mask (for example, 255.255.255.0).
default_router is the IP address of the default router (for example,10.0.0.1).
DNS_Server is the IP address of the DNS server (for example, 10.0.10.2).

Step 3

Add the option 60 line using the following syntax:

Example:


option 60 ascii VCI_string

where,

VCI_string = “Cisco AP iw3702”

Note

You must include the quotation marks.

Step 4

Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:

Example:


option 43 hex <hex_string>

The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values: Type + Length + Value

where,

Type is always f1(hex).
Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4 in hex.
Value is the IP address of the controller listed sequentially in hex.

TLV Example

For two controllers with management interface IP addresses 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2

Type is f1(hex)
Length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex)

The resultant IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.

The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.

Deploying in a Wireless Network

To deploy the access point in a wireless network:

SUMMARY STEPS

Connect and power up the access point.
Observe the Status LED (see Status LED).
Reconfigure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller so that it is not the master .

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Connect and power up the access point.

Step 2

Observe the Status LED (see Status LED).

On successful power-up, the discovery and join process begins. During this process, the Status LED blinks green-red-off.

On a successful join, the Status LED is green when no clients are associated, or blue when one or more clients are associated.

Note

If the Status LED is not on, the access point may not have power.
If the Status LED blinks green-red-off longer than 5 minutes, it cannot find its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. Check the connection, and ensure that both are on the same subnet or that the access point has a return route to its primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
If the access point is not on the same subnet as the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, ensure that there is a properly configured DHCP server on the same subnet. See Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60.

Step 3

Reconfigure the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller so that it is not the master .

Configuring PoE Out Function

You can configure the PoE-Out port power function in autonomous mode for by using the following CLIs:

To disable the PSE function, use the power out-never command.
To turn on the PoE out function, use the no power out-never command.


ap(config)# power [inline | out-never]
  inline     Inline power configuration
  out-never  Never apply PoE out power

Note

This command will not be effective if the AP is powered only by PoE/PoE+.

Connecting Ethernet Daisy Chain

The Ethernet daisy chain feature is available on IW3702 autonomous mode.

IW3702 has two Ethernet ports: POE-IN (Gig0) and POE-OUT (Gig1). You can connect several IW3702 access points in daisy chain via Ethernet cables.

Note

Make sure that you use 4-pair cables which support 1000 Mbps. This feature cannot work properly with 2-pair cables which support 100 Mbps.

For the speed and duplex settings on the Ethernet port of the access point, it is recommended that you configure auto for both, which is the default setting.

In daisy chain topology, each IW3702 can be powered either by DC input (through PWR connector) or POE inline (through POE IN port), but not both. To avoid inadvertently powering by dual sources, when connecting IW3702 to a device capable of PoE power sourcing (PSE, including another IW3702), see the following requirements:

Connection between two IW3702 access points:
- POE-IN to POE-IN connection
- POE-OUT to POE-OUT connection
Connection between other PSE (POE source) and IW3702:
- Connect PSE to the POE-OUT port of IW3702
- Connect non-PSE device to the POE-IN port of IW3702

Daisy Chain Connection Topologies

You can use the following connections for daisy chain topology:

Both IW3702-1 and IW3702-2 are powered by DC power source, with POE-IN to POE-IN connection between IW3702s. Make sure to configure power out-never on each IW3702 to disable the POE-OUT function.
Both IW3702-1 and IW3702-2 are powered by DC power source, with POE-OUT to POE-OUT connection between IW3702s. Make sure to configure power out-never on each IW3702 to disable the POE-OUT function.
IW3702-1 is powered by DC power source, and IW3702-2 has no DC input. IW3702-2 can be powered on only when the POE-OUT port of IW3702-1 connects to the POE-IN port of IW3702.

RAP Ethernet Daisy Chain on IW3702

The RAP Ethernet Daisy Chain feature is supported on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Release 8.10.105.0.

In the daisy chain topology, if the link between RAP1 and RAP2 is broken, or RAP1 loses CAPWAP connectivity to the controller or switch, RAP2 will change its backhaul to wireless link. The Ethernet interfaces of RAP2 will be blocked and no child mesh AP will be allowed. Then, RAP3 and RAP4 will lose connection if they are far away from RAP1.

For the access point joining over wireless backhaul, it stays on wireless backhaul for 15 minutes and comes back to scan state every 15 minutes, until it finds a wired backhaul and joins the controller.

If the link between RAP1 and RAP2 is recovered, it takes up to 15 minutes for RAP2 to detect it and change back to Ethernet backhaul. Similarly, RAP3 and RAP4 will take additional time (maximum of 15 minutes at each hop) if they have joined over wireless backhaul.

Figure 10. Ethernet Daisy Chain Topology

The RAP Ethernet Daisy Chain feature enhances the existing Ethernet bridging functionality by introducing a new command to configure strict wired uplink on each access point. It forces the bridge AP to stick to the Ethernet link, and block the selecting of wireless link for uplink backhaul. Even the Ethernet link failure happens, the access point will never select a parent over wireless backhaul.

Note

To support this Ethernet daisy chain topology, you MUST use power injector as the power supply for the access point. Supported power injectors are: AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=, AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD1=, and AIR-PWRINJ-60RGD2=.

If there is a CAPWAP loss on the first access point (RAP1) connected to switch, the entire chain will lose uplink. It takes about 15 seconds for each access point to recovery the CAPWAP connection after the upstream RAP1 is recovered. The last RAP in N hop chain takes maximum 15xN seconds to recover the connection.

You can configure strict wired uplink only if the AP is configured as Bridge or Flex Bridge mode, Root AP role, and connected to WLC using wired connection. If it connects to WLC using radio link, the configuration is not allowed.

Note

After the configuration, the AP may be in MAP role. It is required to prime all AP to RAP role before connecting all of them with the wired connection. Otherwise there may be loop issues if MAP uses wireless backhaul to connect to the other AP.

WLC Configuration for RAP Ethernet Daisy Chain

Procedure

Step 1

Configure the AP in bridge/flex bridge mode.

CLI:config ap mode [bridge|flex+bridge]{submode none} <Cisco_AP>

GUI: wireless -> All APs -> Details (General) page -> AP mode

Note

Before changing the mode to the bridge/flex bridge, make sure that the AP’s MAC is added in MAC filter list of WLC. Otherwise the bridge mode AP will not be able to join the WLC.

For more details, refer to: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-7/b_mesh_87/b_mesh_87_chapter_0110.html#ID4755

Configuration Guidelines

Note

To make sure this feature works properly, the power injector MUST be used as power supply for the AP.

Ethernet bridging on all RAPs in the chain should be enabled and secondary Ethernet interfaces needs to be configured according to the mesh deployment guidelines.
Strict wired uplink configuration needs to be done on each AP in order to enable this feature.
Strict wired uplink configuration is supported only on IOS-based IW3702 Access Points and applicable only when the AP is operating in Bridge or Flex Bridge mode in Root AP role.
For Flex bridge mode, if it is local switching WLAN, WGB multiple VLAN is not supported.
If this feature is enabled, the AP will keep scanning until at least one Ethernet adjacency is found. The Ethernet link will not be added to blacklist and continue being used as backhaul.
All the traffic will go through the RAP1 which is a bottleneck and the total network throughput is limited. There should be around 10% bandwidth reserved for CAPWAP management traffic in high traffic load case.
Make sure that you use 4-pair cables which support 1000 Mbps. This feature cannot work properly with 2-pair cables which support 100 Mbps.
Follow the Ethernet chaining guideline in the Connecting Ethernet Daisy Chain section to establish cable connections.
Connecting one IW3702’s G0 interface to another IW3702’s G1 interface directly may cause issues in the AP’s POE function and may damage the AP. To support this feature, the power injector MUST be used as power supply for the AP.

Deployment Option 1

Procedure

Step 1	Connect the mesh AP to WLC through wired connection.
Step 2	Prime all APs to RAP role on the daisy chain topology.
Step 3	Configure config ap bridging enable <`Cisco_AP` > to enable Ethernet bridging. This command allows the next AP to connect on its Secondary Ethernet interface.
Step 4	Configure config ap strict-wired-uplink enable <`Cisco_AP` > to enable the feature. At this time, the AP can only connect to WLC through a wired connection.
Step 5	Connect all APs using wired daisy chain topology.

Deployment Option 2

Procedure

Step 1	Connect all the APs using wired daisy chain topology. Make sure all APs are powered off.
Step 2	Power on the first AP which is closest to the switch or WLC. Make sure it can connect to WLC through a wired connection.
Step 3	Set the AP role to RAP.
Step 4	Configure config ap bridging enable <`Cisco_AP` > to enable Ethernet bridging. This command allows the next AP to connect on its Secondary Ethernet interface.
Step 5	Configure config ap strict-wired-uplink enable <`Cisco_AP` > to enable the feature. At this time, the AP can only connect to WLC through a wired connection.
Step 6	Power on the AP which is next to the previous AP.
Step 7	Repeat Step3 to Step 5.

Configuring Indoor Support for Q Domain Models

Both indoor and outdoor use are supported for IW3702 Q domain models, for unified mode and autonomous mode. By default, outdoor mode is enable, and channel 36-64 are disabled. After enabling indoor support on the access point, channel 36-64 will be open for indoor use.

Note

After factory reset, the indoor mode will be changed back to default outdoor mode.

Enabling Indoor Support for Unified Mode AP

In WLC, use the following command to configure IW3702 in unified mode for indoor support:

(Cisco Controller)> config ap indoor {enable|disable} <AP-Name>

Example:

(Cisco Controller)> config ap indoor enable AP3
Changing the AP's indoor mode will cause the AP to reboot.
Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n) y

Use the following command to check the current mode of AP:

show ap env <AP-Name>

Example:

show ap env AP3

Enabling Indoor Support for Autonomous Mode AP

Use the following command to configure indoor support for autonomous AP:

ap(config)# dot11 indoor {enable|disable}

Example:

ap(config)# dot11 indoor enable
Enable AP indoor support in the "Q" Regulatory Domain.
WARNING: The configed AP will reboot.

Begin to enable AP indoor support. Do you want to Continue ? (yes/[no]): yes

Use the following command to display the current status of indoor support:

show dot11 indoor

Configuring Heaters

There are two heaters for each IW3702 access point. By default, they are enabled and will start to work when the environment tempreature is under -20°C. If you determine that the environment tempreature where the IW3702 is deployed will never be under -20°C, you can turn off the heaters, which allows the IW3702 to request less power from the switch when the IW3702 is powered by PoE+.

Note

You must be cautious to turn off the heaters. If the temperature is under -20°C while the heaters are turned off, IW3702 will not work properly, which might cause damage to the AP.

Note

Two heaters will be disabled or enabled together.

Use the following command to enable or disable the heaters:


(config)#heater  {disable |enable }
  disable Disable AP heater 
  enable  Enable AP heater

Note

By default, the heaters are enabled. The execution of the heater enable or disable command will trigger the AP reload.

If the heaters are disabled, AP requests maximum power of 21w. The heaters will never start to work even the environment tempreature is under -20°C.
If the heaters are enabled, AP requests maximum power of 30w. The heaters will be turned on automatically when the environment tempreature is under -20°C.

Use the following command to display the current status of the heaters:


#show heater_status 
MCU Firmware Version = 7
Heater1 - OFF, Heater2 – OFF

DC Input and PoE IN Specifications

The access point supports two power options:

DC input from the PWR connector.
PoE inline power from the PoE IN port.

Note

The PoE OUT port is enabled only when the access point is powered over the PWR port. When powered over the PoE IN port, PoE OUT functionality is not supported.

In relation to powering the access point:

Power can be supplied by the DC input (PWR port connection) or the PoE inline power (PoE IN port), but not both.
We recommend not using the two power options at the same time, but no harm results if both are present.
If both power inputs are present, the DC input (PWR port connection) takes precedence and PoE IN becomes idle and unused.
Power supply redundancy is not supported.
