Cisco Cisco Aironet 1552I Outdoor Access Point

Cisco Aironet Access Points (hereafter called access points, or abbreviated as APs) provide a secure, 
affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the 
enterprise-class features required by networking professionals. With a management system based on 
Cisco IOS software, Cisco Aironet access points are Wi-Fi certified, and depending on the specific 
model are 802.11a-compliant, 802.11b-compliant, 802.11g-compliant, 802.11n-compliant, and 
802.11ac-compliant wireless LAN transceivers. 

When booting up a 1532 Series AP for the first time, it will boot up with a unified mode software image. 
To deploy the AP in an autonomous network, use following command from the AP console or telnet to 
force AP to reboot using autonomous mode software image.

browser-based management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). 

This chapter contains the following sections:

An access point serves as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center 
point of a stand-alone wireless network. In large installations, wireless users within the radio range of 
an access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the 
network.

Each access point platform contains one, two, or three radios. For more information on the radios 
supported by each access point model, see the corresponding Access Point Data Sheet.
