AP 1532E

The 1532E is equipped with two N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 1 and 2) on 
the bottom of the unit for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 
operation in dual-band mode, as shown in 

Figure 6

. The 1532E must always be operated with the two 

external antennas attached. When using the Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N Dual-Band 
Omnidirectional Antenna, the 2.4- and 5-GHz antennas connect directly to the access point, as shown 
in 

Figure 7

. If the antennas are remotely located, an appropriate low-loss RF coax cable should be 

used. 

The 1532E access point are equipped with 4 N-type radio frequency (RF) connectors (antenna ports 
1 and 2 on the bottom of the unit for 2-GHz and antenna ports 3 and 4 on the top of the unit for 
5-GHz) for external antennas to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation. The 
antenna ports located of top of the 1532E are shown in 

Figure 3

. The 1532E must always be operated 

with the appropriate external antennas attached. Ports 1 and 2 can be used for Dual Band operation 
with a software configuration.

Note

The antenna port caps must be removed for a uni-band antenna installation, but ports 3 and 
4 should remain capped for a dual-band antenna instlalation to provide an IP67 seal.
