Comparing 1540 models
Differences in the integrated antenna
If the goal is to cover a mostly Omni-Directional coverage relative to the position the AP is pointing (roughly 120-130 degrees) the AP1542i is designed to do this using its integrated antenna.
Given the antenna is integrated within the device, a true Omni-directional pattern is not possible however, this AP was in such a way as to favor the direction it is pointed yet provide (radiate) in a good semi-omnidirectional pattern. If a true 360 degree Omni-directional pattern is required, the AP-1560 with external antennas can be used as this Access Point was designed for compact size and does not support external antennas.
The AP-1542D has a more directional integrated antenna approximately 55 degrees and is designed where the goal is to achieve a greater distance in the direction that the Access Point is facing.
Let’s examine the antenna specifications and patterns.
| Parameter | AP1542I | AP1542D | ||
| 2.4Ghz | 5Ghz | 2.4Ghz | 5Ghz | |
| Gain (dBi) | 5 | 5 | 8 | 8 |
| Azimuth Beamwidth (3dB) | 110 | 120 | 55 | 55 |
| Elevation Beamwidth (3dB) | 90 | 75 | 55 | 45 |
| # of Elements | 2 | 4 | ||
| Polarization | vertical | dual polarization | ||
| Front-to-Back Ratio (dB, min) | 12 | 20 | 23 | 25 |
| Isolation (dB) | 20 | 20 | 20 | 25 |
The AP-1540 is designed to take advantage of existing brackets used on the AP1530/1560 Series Access Points. This simplifies stocking (single part number) and allows for upgrades without having to replace the bracket.
AP bracket allows for pole and flat surface mounting and optional bracket permits tilting.
AP-1540 Ports
Simplified Ports consisting of Console, Reset and PoE. This AP is completely sealed and therefore the device does not need to be opened to install cabling eliminating the opportunity for water ingression from improperly sealed cable connections.
Ports on the bottom of the AP-1540 Series.
AP-1540 Accessories
The AP accessory kit Cisco Part Number AIR-ACC1540-KIT1= consists of a grounding lug, two dust caps (to cover Ethernet/Console ports) and five Ethernet termination connectors (plastic waterproof connectors that allow standard CAT-5 connectors to attach to the AP).
An optional «Paintable Cover» sometimes referred to as a «solar shield» is available Cisco Part Number AIR-ACC1540-CVR may be used should there be a desire to change the color or have the AP blend into the environment better.
| AP1540 Mounting Kits and Accessories | |
| PID | Description |
| AIR–ACC1530–PMK1 | Standard Pole/Wall Mount Kit for AP 1530/1560 series Can be ordered as option under AP PID or as spare |
| AIR–ACC1530–PMK2= | Pole mount kit for AP 1530/1560 series with tilt adjustment. |
| AIR–ACC1540–CVR= | Cover and solar shield for AP1540 Series |
| AIR–ACC1540–KIT1= | Spares kit for AP1540 |
AP–1540 Mechanicals
Both Access Points have the same dimensions in mm and the device weighs 1.25 kg.
The AP-1540 (center) is Cisco’s smallest most compact 802.11ac outdoor Access Point.
AP–1540 Powering Options
The AP–1540 is designed to run from standard IEEE 802.3af (15.4W power). There is no local power jack so when connecting to a source of AC power, a mid-span injector is recommended.
| Powering Options | Power Budget* | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 802.3af, Standard PoE | 13 W | Fully functional |
| Cisco Power Injector AIR–PWRINJ5=(15W) | 13 W | AIR–PWRINJ5= is not outdoor–rated, must be indoors or in an enclosure |
| Cisco Power Injector AIR–PWRINJ–60RGD1=(60W) | 13 W | Outdoor rated, North America AC plug |
| Cisco Power Injector AIR–PWRINJ–60RGD2=(60W) | 13 W | Outdoor rated, International, unterminated AC input |
- Q1: Where can I find the Specifications for the AP-1540 Series? A1: The 1540 Series specifications can be found at this URL http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1540-series/datasheet-c78-738585.html
- Q2: Is there a model that supports external antennas? A2: The 1540 Series is designed for small compact deployments, if external antennas are needed please take a look at the AP-1560 Series at this URL http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-1560-series/datasheet-c78-737416.html
- Q3: Does this product support WGB (Workgroup Bridge) mode or Point to Point Bridging? A3: Not at this time, however it does support mobility express as a stand-alone Access Point.
- Q4: Will the AIR-PWRINJ4, AIR-PWRINJ5 and AIR-PWERINJ6 work with the AP-1540? A4: Yes but these are not outdoor rated, so you will need to use an enclosure or use indoors. Also avoid using older «metal box» power injectors like the INJ 1500 as they are not 802.3af compliant.
- Q5: Is there a guide that explains terms such as RAP (Root AP) and MAP (Mesh AP) and how to configure in software? A5: Yes please refer to the Mesh Design Guide at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/mesh/8-2/b_mesh_82/Connecting_the_Cisco_1500_Series_Mesh_Access_Points_to_the___.html
