Chapter 1 Overview
Key Features
Note
Antenna connectors are available only on the external antenna access point/bridge configuration.
Power
The access point/bridge receives inline power from the Cisco Aironet Power Injector (hereafter called
the
power injector
). Dual-coax cables are used to provide Ethernet data and power from the power
injector to the access point/bridge. The power injector is an external unit designed for operation in a
sheltered environment, such as inside a building or vehicle. The power injector also functions as an
Ethernet repeater by connecting to a Category 5 LAN backbone and using the dual-coax cable interface
to the access point/bridge.
The power injector is available in two models:
•
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2—standard version (included with the bridge)
–
48-VDC input power
–
Uses the 48-VDC power module (included with the bridge)
•
Cisco Aironet Power Injector LR2T—optional transportation version
–
12- to 40-VDC input power
–
DC power supplied from a vehicle battery
Note
The power injector and the power module should not be placed in an outdoor unprotected environment.
The power module should 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.
