Installing the Access Point
Cisco Aironet 5-GHz 8-dBi Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT5180V-N)
The Cisco Aironet 5-GHz 8-dBi Omnidirectional Antenna is designed for outdoor use with Cisco
Aironet Outdoor Access Points with radios operating in the 5-GHz frequency band. This antenna has
8-dBi gain in the 5-GHz frequency band.
For detailed information on this antenna, refer to the document Cisco Aironet 8-dBi Omnidirectional
Antenna (AIR-ANT5180V-N). Follow all safety precautions when installing the antennas, for information
on safety, refer to
Figure 2-16
Antenna N-Type Connector Locations
The access point antenna N-type connectors are located on the top and the bottom of model
AIR-CAP1572E-x-K9. The N-type connectors support variety of the Cisco Aironet antennas. For
detailed information on these antennas, refer to
the antenna port locations viewed from the RF cover side.
Installing a Lightning Arrestor
Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct
contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco Aironet AIR-ACC245LA-N Lightning
Arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over
voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor installed
according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive
interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system.
