Metal Enclosure - Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Network Deployment Examples
The access point has one fiber connection, located on the bottom of the unit (shown on
Client data is passed to the network controller through the fiber connection via a fiber-capable switch.
Configuration information can be found in the controller configuration guide of the controller you are
using.

Metal Enclosure

The access point uses a metal enclosure that can accommodate both indoor or outdoor operating
environments and an industrial temperature operating range of –40 to 131°F (–40 to 55°C). The access
point complies with NEMA 4 and IP67 requirements.

Network Deployment Examples
The access point is a wireless device designed for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging,
point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point
provides 5-GHz backhaul capability to link with another access point to reach a wired network
connection or to provide repeater operations for other access points.
The access point plays two primary radio roles: a root access point (RAP) or a mesh (non-root) access
point (MAP), which is the default role of all access points. When the access point has a fiber or wired
Ethernet or cable connector connection to the controller (through a switch), the radio role is called a
RAP. In order to be considered a RAP, the access point must be configured as a RAP. A RAP is a parent
node to any bridging or mesh network. A controller can support one or more RAPs, each one parenting
the same or different wireless networks. There can be more than one RAP for the same mesh network
for redundancy. RAPs and MAPs can support wireless clients on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz band. Client
access on 5-GHz is called universal client access.
