Chapter 1 Overview
Key Features
•
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T—optional transportation version
–
12- to 40-VDC input power
Note
The power injector and the power module must not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment. The
power module must not be placed in a building’s environmental air space, such as above a suspended ceiling.
Integrated Antenna
The access point/bridge is available with an integrated 13-dBi patch array antenna. The antenna is
covered with a radome to protect it from environmental elements. The integrated antenna is vertically
polarized.
Note
Some international regulatory regions may restrict the integrated antenna access point/bridge
configuration.
External Antenna
The access point/bridge is available in an external antenna configuration (see
Figure 1-1
) for use with
Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz antennas. Two reverse-TNC type RF connectors are provided on the end of the
unit to support single or diversity antenna configurations. The antennas connect to the access
point/bridge antenna connectors using a coax cable.
Table 1-1
lists the external antennas supported by
the access point/bridge.
Note
To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point/bridge unit and the external antenna
must be professionally installed. The network administrator or other IT professional responsible for
installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the
unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.
