Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines
Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the Site Planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point. You should have the following information about your wireless network available:
· Access point locations · Access point mounting options: To a vertical or horizontal wall or a DIN rail · Access point power options: Use either of the following options to power the AP:
· DC power input · Cisco-approved power injector · 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt, and Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPOE)
· Operating temperature : -40° to +140°F (-40° to +60°C) with solar load and still air. · Extended operating temperature (DC powered): -58° to +167°F (-50° to +75°C) without solar loading,
still air, and cold start limited to -40°C (-40°F). · Console access using the console port
We recommend that you use a console cable that is one meter or less in length.
Note The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable (not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length.
Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 15

Mounting the Access Point

Installation Overview

We recommend that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless network.
Mounting the Access Point
This section provides instructions to mount the AP. Personnel mounting the AP must have knowledge of the wireless AP, bridging techniques, and grounding methods.
Installation Options The IW9165D Access Point can be wall or pole mounted. There are two optional mounting kits: a fixed mounting kit (AIR-ACC1530-PMK1=) and a tiltable mounting kit (IW-ACC-PMK1=).
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Access Point Mounting Orientation The access point can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface. When mounting on a vertical surface, you must ensure that the access point is oriented with the LED indicators pointing down. This positioning allows LEDs to be visible to someone on the ground below the access point. By using the tiltable mounting bracket (Cisco PID: IW- ACC-PMK1=), IW9165D can be mounted in 45° angle other than vertical installation. There are three arrows on the front of the access point. You can choose to mount the access point with one of the these arrows pointing up by the tilt functionality of the mounting bracket.

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 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.

Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 22

Installation Overview

Lightning Arrestor Installation Notes

Installation Considerations
Cisco recommends that you bulkhead mount the lightning arrestor so it can be installed as a wall-feed through on the wall of the protected space. The importance of obtaining a good ground and bonding connection cannot be overstressed. Consider these points when grounding the lightning arrestor:
· Connect the lightning arrestor components directly to the grounding point.
· The contact points of the ground connection must be clean and free of dust and moisture.
· Tighten threaded contacts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Lightning Arrestor Installation Notes
This lightning arrestor is designed to be installed between the antenna cable that is attached to an outdoor antenna and the Cisco wireless device. You can install the lightning arrestor either indoors or outdoors. It can be connected directly to a wireless device having an external N connector. It can also be mounted inline or as a feed-through. Feed-through installations require 5/8 in. (16 mm) hole to accommodate the lightning arrestor.

Note

· This lightning arrestor is part of a lightning arrestor kit. The kit contains a lightning arrestor and a

grounding lug.

· When you install the lightning arrestor, follow the regulations or best practices applicable to lightning protection installation in your local area.

Installing the Lightning Arrestor Outdoors
If you install the lightning arrestor outdoors, use the supplied ground lug and a heavy wire (#6 solid copper) to connect it to a good earth ground, such as a ground rod. The connection should be as short as possible.

Ground lug

Cable for the Lightning Arrestor
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss).
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the lightning arrestor.

Grounding the Access Point
In all installations, after mounting the access point, you must properly ground the unit before connecting power cables.

Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
The access point is shipped with a grounding kit.

FCC Safety Compliance Statement

Safety Guidelines and Warnings

Caution Ensure to connect the power cord of the power adapter to a socket outlet with an earthing connection.
FCC Safety Compliance Statement
The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas, Cisco Catalyst products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Safety Precautions
For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions: · Select your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill. · Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come to look at your proposed installation · Plan your installation carefully and thoroughly before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is mostly a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. · When installing the AP or its antennas, remember: · Do not use a metal ladder. · Do not work on a wet or windy day. · Do dress properly–shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
· Use a rope to lift the AP. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. · If any part of the antenna system comes in contact with a power line, do not touch it or remove it yourself.
Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas

Safety Precautions when Installing Antennas

Danger

Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280

· Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install
· Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
· Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.
· Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
· When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
· Do not use a metal ladder
· Do not work on a wet or windy day
· Do dress properly–wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket

· If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.
· If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.
· If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Avoiding Damage to Radios in a Testing Environment
The radios on outdoor units (bridges) have higher transmit power levels than radios on indoor units (APs). When you test high-power radios in a link, you must avoid exceeding the receiver’s maximum receive input level. At levels above the normal operating range, packet error rate (PER) performance is degraded. At even higher levels, the receiver can be permanently damaged. To avoid receiver damage and PER degradation, you can use one of the following techniques:
· Separate the omnidirectional antennas by at least 2 ft (0.6 m) to avoid receiver damage or by at least 25 ft (7.6 m) to avoid PER degradation.

Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 39

Performing Site Surveys

Safety Guidelines and Warnings

Note These distances assume free space path loss and are conservative estimates. Required separation distances for damage and performance degradation levels in actual deployments are less if conditions are not non- line-of-sight.
· Reduce the configured transmit power to the minimum level.
· Use directional antennas, and keep them away from each other.
· Cable the radios together using a combination of attenuators, combiners, or splitters to achieve a total attenuation of at least 60 dB.
For a radiated testbed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr + tx gain + rx gain – [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level Where: txpwr = Radio transmit power level tx gain = transmitter antenna gain rx gain = receiver antenna gain
For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, and receiver sensitivity:
txpwr – [attenuation due to coaxial components] < max rx input level

Caution

Under no circumstances should you connect the antenna port from one AP to the antenna port of another AP without using an RF attenuator. If you connect antenna ports, you must not exceed the maximum survivable receive level of 0 dBm. Never exceed 0 dBm, or damage to the AP can occur. Using attenuators, combiners, and splitters having a total of at least 60 dB of attenuation ensures that the receiver is not damaged and that PER performance is not degraded.

Performing Site Surveys
Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple APs, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking components and maximize range, coverage, and network performance.
Site surveys reveal problems that can be resolved before the network is operational. Because 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax operates in an unlicensed spectrum, there may be sources of interference from other 802.11a wireless devices (especially in multi-tenant buildings) that could degrade your 802.11 signals. A site survey can determine if such interference exists at the time of deployment.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:
· Data rates: Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases.

Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 40

Safety Guidelines and Warnings

Performing Site Surveys

· Antenna type and placement: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.
· Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
· Obstructions: Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder the performance of wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.
· How far is your wireless link?
· Has a previous site survey been conducted?
· Do you have a clear Fresnel zone between the APs or radio line of sight?
· What is the minimum acceptable data rate within the link?
· Do you have the correct antenna (if more than one antenna is being offered?)
· Do you have the proper permits, if required?
· Are you following the proper safety procedures and practices?
· Have you configured the APs before you go onsite? It is always easier to resolve configurations or device problems first.
· Do you have the proper tools and equipment to complete your survey?

Cet appareil est conforme aux directives internationales en matière d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques
Cet appareil de la gamme IW9165D comprend un émetteur-récepteur radio. Il a été conçu de manière à respecter les limites en matière d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (champs électromagnétiques de fréquence radio), recommandées dans le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada. Ces directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous, indépendamment de l’âge et de la santé. Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploités en évitant que l’utilisateur n’entre en contact avec les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance minimale telle que précisée par l’utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont conçues pour réduire l’exposition générale de l’utilisateur ou de l’opérateur. Distance d’exposition RF
20 cm
Santé Canada affirme que la littérature scientifique actuelle n’indique pas qu’il faille prendre des précautions particulières lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil sans fil. Si vous voulez réduire votre exposition encore davantage, selon l’agence, vous pouvez facilement le faire en réorientant les antennes afin qu’elles soient dirigées à l’écart de l’utilisateur, en les plaçant à une distance d’éloignement supérieure à celle recommandée ou en réduisant la puissance de sortie de l’émetteur.
