Scope
The information in this document is applicable to the Cisco 1500 Series Lightweight Outdoor Access Points that currently include the AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 and the AIR-LAP1505G-E-K9.
The AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 is a dual-band product (2.4- and 5- GHz) that operates in the 2400- to 2483.5-MHz and the 5470- to 5725-MHz frequency range. The AIR-AP1505G-E-K9 operates only in the 2400- to 2483.5-MHz band.
National regulations may require that operations be limited to portions of the frequency ranges identified above and/or at reduced power levels. See the "National Restrictions" section on page 4 for complete details.
Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the EU Directive 1999/5/EC
(R&TTE Directive)This declaration is only valid for configurations (combinations of software, firmware and hardware) provided and/or supported by Cisco Systems. The use of software or firmware not supported/provided by Cisco Systems may result that the equipment is no longer compliant with the regulatory requirements.
Note
The following standards were applied during the assessment of the product against the requirements of the Directive 1999/5/EC:

CE Marking
For the Cisco AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 and the AIR-LAP1505G-E-K9, the following CE mark and class-2 identifier are affixed to the equipment and its packaging:
National Restrictions
In the majority of the EU and other European Countries, the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands have been made available for the use of wireless LANs. Table 1 provides an overview of the regulatory requirements in general applicable for the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
Later in this section you will find an overview of countries in which additional restrictions or requirements or both are applicable.
The requirements for any country may evolve. Cisco recommends that you check with the local authorities for the latest status of their national regulations for both the 2.4- and 5-GHz wireless LANs.

1 Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmit Power Control is required in the 5250- to 5350-MHz and 5470- to 5725-MHz frequency range.
1 2. As the AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 is an outdoor product, the band 5150-5350 MHz is not applicable.
1 3. The AIR-LAP1505G-E-K9 operates only in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band.
The following sections identify countries having additional requirements or restrictions than those listed in Table 1.
France
For 2.4 GHz, the output power is restricted to 10 mW EIRP when the product is used outdoors in the band 2454 - 2483.5 MHz. There are no restrictions when used in other parts of the 2,4 GHz band. Check http://www.arcep.fr/ for more details.
Italy
This product meets the National Radio Interface and the requirements specified in the National Frequency Allocation Table for Italy. Unless this wireless LAN product is operating within the boundaries of the owner's property, its use requires a "general authorization." Please check http://www.sviluppoeconomico.gov.it/ for more details.
Questo prodotto è conforme alla specifiche di Interfaccia Radio Nazionali e rispetta il Piano Nazionale di ripartizione delle frequenze in Italia. Se non viene installato all 'interno del proprio fondo, l'utilizzo di prodotti Wireless LAN richiede una "Autorizzazione Generale". Consultare http://www.sviluppoeconomico.gov.it/ per maggiori dettagli.
Latvia
The outdoor usage of the 2.4-GHz band requires an authorization from the Electronic Communications Office. Please check http://www.esd.lv for more details.

Antennas
The AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 and the AIR-LAP1505G-E-K9 are equipped with N-type antenna connectors to allow the use of dedicated antennas (which are external to the equipment).
Table 2 lists the antennas that can be used by these products. All antennas were assessed together with the equipment against the requirements of the R&TTE directive.
Depending on the country, a different regulatory limit might be applicable. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user to select a power level that, together with the antenna and attenuator used, results in an effective radiated power (EIRP) level that is below the applicable limit.
The maximum power setting for each of the antennas is listed in Table 6. See the "National Restrictions" section on page 4 to identify the regulatory limit in your country.

1 The antenna gain mentioned does not include the cable loss. For all combinations, the total of power level, antenna gain, attenuator attenuation and cable loss is equal to or below 20 dBm (eirp).
2 See Table 6 for correctly setting the power level listed.
3 In France, the band 2454-2483.5 MHz shall not be used.
4 The use of the attenuator is required in order to meet the regulatory limits.
5 An RP-TNC (Reversed Polarity TNC) to N adapter is required to use this antenna. Use Pasternack model number PE9730 or equivalent (www.pasternack.com).

Attenuators
Depending on the antenna, Tables x and x may list values for the minimum attenuator attenuation to be used. Table 4 lists the Huber and Suhner part numbers for these attenuators. Other attenuators from different manufacturers but with identical characteristics may be used as well.

It is strongly recommended that you use the Huber & Suhner Fast-Wrap weather proofing solution (or equivalent) to protect the attenuators and the coaxial connectors against moisture, corrossion, and other external stresses.

Operating Frequency
The operating frequency in a Wireless LAN is determined by the access point. As such, it is important that the access point is correctly configured to meet the local regulations. See the "National Restrictions" section on page 4 for the country specific operating frequency ranges.
Changing Output Power
The output power on the AIR-LAP1510AG-E-K9 and AIR-LAP1505-E-K9 access points can be only be changed using a Cisco Wireless LAN 2600 or 4400 Series Controller, or the controllers on a Wireless Services Module (WiSM).
Note
The access point must be registered with your controller before you can make any configuration changes. Follow these steps to change the access point output power.

The drop-down box shows 5 power level settings. For the EU, only 2 power level settings exist for the 5 GHz and 2.4-GHz radios. Other settings are equal to the lowest available power level for the respective radio.
The transmit power level is assigned an integer value instead of a value in mW or dBm. Table 6 shows the power level settings (in dBm) for the access point.
