Hardware Features

AP1532I (Internal Antenna)

The 1532I access point 802.11b/g/n radio is used primarily for local access and its 802.11a/n radio for
wireless backhaul in the Mesh.
The 2 GHz b/g/n radio operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It supports channels 1-11 in the US, 1-13 in
Europe, and 1-13 in Japan. It has 3 transmitters with a maximum total output power of 29 dBm for
802.11b/g/n operation. Output power is configurable for 8 levels in 3 dB steps. It has three receivers that
enable maximum-ratio combining (MRC).
The 5 GHz a/n radio operates in the UNII-2 band (5.25 - 5.35 GHz), UNII-2 Extended/ETSI band (5.47
- 5.725 GHz), and the upper ISM band (5.725 - 5.850 GHz). It has two transmitters with a maximum
total output power of 27 dBm depending on the regulatory domain. The total maximum output power for
the upper ISM band is 27 dBm for A-domain. Tx power settings will change depending on the regulatory
domain. Output power is configurable in 3 dB steps. Its three receivers enable maximum-ratio combining
(MRC).
The 1532I access point is equipped with three integrated dual-band antennas with 3 dBi gain at 2 GHz
and 5 dBi gain at 5 GHz.

AP1532E (External Antenna)

The 1532E access point is equipped with four N-type RF connectors. The 1532E can be configured via
software to support dual band or single band antennas. When configured for dual band antennas, antenna
ports 1 and 2 on the bottom of the unit
(MIMO) operation on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. When using the Cisco Aironet AIR-ANT2547V-N or
AIR-ANT2547VG-N omindirectional antennas, the antenna can be connected directly to the access
point
used.
Note Ensure that the antenna band mode is configured before the 1532E access point is installed.
When configured for single band antennas, antenna port 1 and antenna port 2 support MIMO operation
for the 2.4 GHz radio, and antenna ports 3 and 4
the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for information on the software configuration.

Multiple Power Sources

The 1530 series access point supports these power sources:
•
•
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available. Statement 366
