Summary of Contents for Cisco AP-702W

  • Page 2 Wireless + Wired Access Device. The AP-702W is a wall plate Access Point (AP) designed to combine the features of an AP and a four port switch into a single unit with a small footprint targeting education and hospitality markets.

    Support for VideoStream and Adaptive wIPS Rogue AP detection support • The AP-702W is similar in features and functionality to other Cisco APs with the exception that at first release a few features are not supported. AP-702W Non-Supported features as of version 7.6.100.120: Mesh Support •...
  • Page 4 Many of these features are targeted for later releases. Please check the release notes of the current Note software for more details.

  • Page 7: Ap-702W Powering Options

    The AP-702W is designed to accept power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or by using a local “brick” style power supply. Because the AP-702W has the ability to provide PoE out on port #4, the unit draws in an excess of 15.4 Watts (802.3af) specification, and therefore it is recommended that PoE+, 802.3at, or local power supply Cisco part number AIR-PWR-C be used.
  • Page 8 There is a feature request to better handle this in the future, but if the goal is to have the AP-702W not ask for additional power, then a work around would be to configure the powering device to only allocate 15.4 W (802.3af) power on the port that the AP-702W is attached.

  • Page 10: Ap-702W Antenna System

    AP-702W Earlier Cisco-Aironet power supplies are rated at 48 VDC @ 380 mA. These earlier supplies do not have enough current to allow the AP-702W to provide PoE out on port 4. AP-702W Antenna System The AP-702W has two integrated dual band antennas designed for best performance when mounted to an electrical box in a wall mount configuration.

  • Page 12 AP-702W - Antenna Radiation Patterns for 5 GHz As mentioned, the AP-702W is designed for wall mounting and so it may have a slightly smaller cell coverage area than a conventional AP that is typically mounted physically higher on a ceiling. This is fine, because Cisco Radio Resource Management (RRM) will learn and properly balance out the channel assignments, and clients will roam smoothly when there is a mixture of ceiling and wall mounted APs.
  • Page 13: Ap 702W Switched Ports

    Channel Assignments and Power Settings Determined by Cisco RRM Roaming, channel assignments, and RF power all function well with the AP-702W. Its antenna technology comprising two transmit radios and two receive radios in each band called 2x2 in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) configuration support two spatial streams (2SS) together referenced as 2x2:2.
  • Page 14 VLAN support is being added to these ports. When configuring the AP-702W for PoE out on port 4, it is important to verify that you have at least 16.1 W when powering the unit by PoE. So, the AP will require PoE+ or higher power than what can be provided by 802.3af (15.4 W).
  • Page 15 Verifying FULL Power on the Controller The PoE needs to be at full power. You can use PoE+, 802.3at, local power supply, or Cisco Power Injector 4 Cisco part number AIR-PWR-INJ4 which provides higher PoE power. The AP-702W will not be able to provide PoE out if a 15.4 W injector, such as the AIR-PWR-INJ5 or 802.3af power, is used.

    If you have done a site survey with a previous product, chances are that the survey is still valid and you only need to perform simple checks to verify that coverage holes or problem areas do not exist. Figure 18 Heat Maps and coverage areas are fairly uniform between different APs Cisco Aironet Series 702W Access Point Deployment Guide...

    For example, using higher MCS rates, Spatial streams, or Cisco’s ClientLink beam-forming technology. So, the take away is that the client experiences a higher performance and faster connectivity, but it is not designed to change the actual cellular coverage area so surveys maintain their validity across different AP models.
  • Page 21 The GUI allows you to enable the ports and setup VLANs. In this example, VLAN 71 and 70 are enabled on ports 1 and 2, respectively. In the following example, VLAN is not defined on port 3 (so it will default to the native VLAN) and port 4 is disabled. Cisco Aironet Series 702W Access Point Deployment Guide...
  • Page 22 On enabling access VLAN, vlan_valid in the lan_port info structure will be set to TRUE and Note vlan_id will be populated. VLAN IDs 1 and 4095 on LAN ports are not supported. Cisco Aironet Series 702W Access Point Deployment Guide...
  • Page 23: General Considerations Regarding Aps

    When using the 2.4 GHz frequency, the same 1, 6, and 11 channel scheme is used as is the 5 GHz channel scheme. Avoid putting all the APs on the same channel, and reuse channels as you can. See our other deployment guides for more on this topic. Cisco Aironet Series 702W Access Point Deployment Guide...

    UNII-1 band restrictions? Or I wish to use higher gain antennas? Consider deploying the Cisco Mesh products (1550 and 1530 series) or look for APs ending in “P” for professional install, such as the 3702P series or our outdoor bridging products.
