Hardware Features
Console Port
The serial console port can be used to monitor the access point power-up sequences using a terminal
emulator program. Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer's COM port to the access
point's serial console port. (Refer to
console port pinouts.) Assign the following port settings to a terminal emulator to open the management
system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
Power Sources
The access point can receive power from an external power module or through inline power using the
Ethernet cable. Using inline power, you do not need to run a power cord to the access point.
The access point supports the following power sources:
•
•
UL 2043 Certification
The access point is encased in a durable metal case having adequate fire resistance and low
smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as
above suspended ceilings, in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the NEC, and with Sections 2-128,
12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
Only the fiber-optic power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB) has been tested to UL 2043 for operation in a
Caution
building's environmental air space; no other power injectors or power modules have been tested to UL 2043
and they should not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Anti-Theft Features
There are two methods of securing the access point to help prevent theft:

Power supply (input 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, output 48 VDC, 0.2A minimum)
Inline power from:
Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB or AIR-PWRINJ3)
–
–
A switch capable of providing inline power, such as Cisco Catalyst 3500XL, 3550, 4500, or
6500 switches
–
An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
The Catalyst 3550-24 PWR switch supports power for access points configured with both
Note
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios. Other switches and patch panels might not provide enough
power for both radios.
Security cable keyhole—You can use the security cable slot to secure the access point using a
standard security cable, such as those used on laptop computers.
Security hasp—When you mount the access point on a wall or ceiling using the mounting bracket
and the security hasp, you can lock the access point to the bracket with a padlock. Compatible
padlocks are Master Lock models 120T and 121T or equivalent.
