Cisco IW3702 Access Point Getting Started Guide This guide documents the hardware features of the Cisco IW3702 access point. It describes the physical and performance characteristics of each access point, and explains how to install and configure an access point.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS Overview This document describes the Cisco IW3702 access point. The access point is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compliant, dual-band WiFi access point with external antennas. The access point is IP67 rated, ruggedized, and certified for on-board rail and outdoor use-cases such as train and trackside, mining, intelligent transportation systems, and smart city applications.
• Rugged IP67 rated housing and -40 to 167°F (-40 to 75°C) operating temperature range (ambient—without solar loading or wind cooling) • Compact size for space constrained environments Access Point Models There are two access point models, based on antenna configuration. The following table lists the available IW3702 models. Table 1: Access Point Models Model Description...

Note When powering the access point: 1 Power can be supplied via DC input (PWR connector) or PoE inline (PoE IN port), but not both. 2 We recommend that you not use two power options concurrently, but no harm results if both are present.
4 Torque the protective vent to 5-7 inch-lbs. Console Port You can connect the access point to a PC or laptop through the RJ45 CON port. The RJ45 CON port uses the Cisco console port RJ45-to-DB9 cable (Cisco PN 72-3383-01).
• Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI)—Configures the access point. You can access the CLI by directly connecting a PC to the console port, or you can access the CLI using a Telnet session from a remote management station.
Preparing for Installation The following topics prepare you for installing the unit: Warnings These warnings are translated into several languages in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco IW3702 Access Point on Cisco.com. Danger Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Danger Statement 1040 To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum Danger recommended ambient temperature of: 70°C Statement 1047 Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: • For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide.
• Install the access point in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the devices. • For information on priming a Cisco universal access point, see the Cisco Aironet Universal AP Priming and Cisco AirProvision User Guide at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/ux-ap/guide/uxap-mobapp-g.html...

Note The M12 connector caps are installed on the ports for protection when the AP is shipped. Remove the caps before using the ports. See the following figure for the locations of each port with M12 cap. Figure 6: PoE and PWR Connectors With Caps PoE ports with caps PWR connector with cap To unpack the access point:...
Mounting the Access Point For instructions about mounting the access point, see the Cisco IW3702 Access Point Mounting Guide Connecting the Protective Ground and Power Perform the following steps in order when connecting the access point to power and ground.
Page 20
The grounding kit also includes the oxide inhibitor, which is contained in a tube. Note To ground the access point: Procedure Step 1 Use a crimping tool to crimp a 6-AWG ground wire (not included in the grounding kit) to the ground lug. Step 2 Connect the supplied ground lug to the access point ground connection point using the supplied screws.
Page 21
Ground connection Step 4 If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground such as a grounding rod or appropriate ground point on a grounded pole. Length of the ground cable should not exceed 1 meter, and 0.5 meter is preferred.
Power cable and PWR connector Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cable to the DC power source using the power source wiring instructions. The PWR connector pinout descriptions are in Power Port, on page Connecting the Antennas Connect each antenna based on: •...
Ethernet cables must have an internal shield around the signal wires. There must be a contiguous ground between the connector shell that interfaces with the IW3702 and the connector shell on the far end of the cable. Maximum cable length should not exceed 100 meters.
Page 24
Step 2 Connect the PoE IN cable to the PoE IN port, or the PoE OUT cable to the PoE OUT port by turning the cable clockwise, as shown in the following figure. Figure 8: Connecting to the PoE IN or PoE OUT Ports PoE OUT cable PoE IN cable When powered over the PoE IN port, PoE OUT functionality is not supported.
This section describes antennas, RF Accessories, and their configuration for the access point. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections, to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. For more information on using coax seal on the N connector to cable or antenna interface, see the instructions on your antenna documents.

The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with Cisco IW3702 access points. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers.
