Connecting the Cisco 1500 Series Mesh Access Points to the Network
• For the AP1524PS, the 4.9-GHz radio is independent of the 5-GHz radio and is not used for backhaul.
The 5.8 GHz is used only for backhaul, and there is no client access possible on it. On the AP1524PS,
the 4.9-GHz band is enabled by default.
• For AP1522s, you can enable the 4.9-GHz public safety band on the backhaul. This step can only be
done at the global level and cannot be done on a per mesh access point basis.
• For public safety-only deployments, the AP1522 and the AP1524PS must each be connected to its own
separate RAP-based tree. For such deployments, the 1522 must use the 4.9-GHz backhaul and the 1524PS
must be in its own RAP tree and use the 5.8-GHz backhaul.
• In some parts of the world including the USA, you can only have public safety traffic on the 4.9-GHz
backhaul. Check the destination countries compliance before installing.
The 4.9-GHz subband radio on the AP1524PS supports public safety channels within the 5-MHz (channels
1 to 10), 10-MHz (channels 11 to 19), and 20-MHz (channels 20 to 26) bandwidths.
• The following data rates are supported within the 5 MHz bandwidth: 1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, and 13.5
Mbps. The default rate is 6 Mbps.
• The following data rates are supported within the 10-MHz bandwidth: 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 27
Mbps. The default rate is 12 Mbps.
Those AP1522s with serial numbers prior to FTX1150XXXX do not support 5 and 10 MHz channels
on the 4.9-GHz radio; however, a 20-MHz channel is supported.
• Those AP1522s with serial numbers after FTX1150XXXX support 5, 10, and 20 MHz channels.
OL-27593-01
◦ In Japan, 4.9 GHz is enabled by default as 4.9 GHz is unlicensed.
◦ For client access on the 4.9-GHz band on the AP1522, you have to enable the feature universal
client access.
