Cisco Cisco Aironet 1522 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point Guide De Conception

You can log on to the mesh access point console for debugging either through a direct connection to the 
AP console port or through the remote debug feature on the controller.

To invoke remote debug on the controller, enter the following commands:

(Cisco controller) > debug ap enable ap name

(Cisco controller) > debug ap command “command” ap name

AP1520s have a console port. A console cable is not shipped with the mesh access point. You must open 
the hinged side of the mesh access point to access the console port and then bring the cable outside from 
the Aux port to connect it to the laptop. 

For details on opening the mesh access point, refer to the Cisco Aironet 1520 Series Outdoor Mesh 
Access Point Mounting Instructions document at:

The AP1520s have console access security embedded in the code to prevent unauthorized access on the 
console port and provide enhanced security.

The login ID and password for console access are configured from the controller. You can use the 
following commands to push the user-id/password combination to the specified mesh access point or all 
access points. 

You must verify whether the user-id/password pushed from the controller is used as user-id and 
password on the mesh access point. It is a non-volatile setting. Once set, a login ID and password is saved 
in the private config of the mesh access point. 

Once you have a successful login, the trap is sent to Cisco WCS. If a user fails to login 3 times 
consecutively, login failure traps are sent to the controller and Cisco WCS. 

A mesh access point must be reset to the Factory Default settings before moving from one location to 
another.
