Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points
Note that the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point must have a DHCP server available on
its local subnet, so it can obtain an IP address upon reboot. Also note that the Cisco 1030 remote edge
lightweight access points at each remote location must be on the same subnet to allow client roaming.

Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Models

The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point includes one 802.11a and one 802.11b/g radio. The Cisco
1000 series lightweight access point is available in the following configurations:
•
•
•
The 1000 series access point is shipped with a color-coordinated ceiling mount base and hanging-ceiling
rail clips. You can also order projection- and flush-mount sheet metal wall mounting bracket kits. The
base, clips, and optional brackets allow quick mounting to ceiling or wall. The access point can be
powered by power over Ethernet or by an external power supply.

Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point External and Internal Antennas

The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point enclosure contains one 802.11a or one 802.11b/g radio
and four (two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g) high-gain antennas, which can be independently enabled or
disabled to produce a 180-degree sectorized or 360-degree omnidirectional coverage area.
Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points must use the factory-supplied internal or external antennas
Note
to avoid violating FCC requirements and voiding the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note that the wireless LAN operator can disable either one of each pair of the Cisco 1000 series
lightweight access point internal antennas to produce a 180-degree sectorized coverage area. This feature
can be useful, for instance, for outside-wall mounting locations where coverage is only desired inside
the building, and in a back-to-back arrangement that can allow twice as many clients in a given area.

External Antenna Connectors

The AP1020 and AP1030 have male reverse-polarity TNC jacks for installations requiring
factory-supplied external directional or high-gain antennas. The external antenna option can create more
flexibility in Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point antenna placement.
The AP1010 is designed to be used exclusively with the internal high-gain antenna. It has no jacks for
Note
external antennas.
Note that the 802.11b/g 2.4 GHz Left external antenna connector is associated with the internal Side A
antenna, and that the 2.4 GHz Right external antenna connector is associated with the internal Side B
antenna. When you have 802.11b/g diversity enabled, the Left external or Side A internal antennas are
diverse from the Right external or Side B internal antennas.
