Cisco 1300 Series with AIR-ANT24120 external antenna

Here,
I am using Cisco 1300 Outdoor Access Point/Bridge. I connect AIR-ANT24120 omni antenna to the Right Primary connector but i'm not sure whether the AIR-ANT24120 is working or not because i find no difference in range before and after i deploy my AIR-ANT24120. Please could anyone confirm the working configure for this AIR-ANT24120 on my case. The 1300 Access Poiny/Bridge running C1310 Software Version 12.3(8) JA2.

Thanks for the advice. Things now is much clear now. i am connecting a client to the 1310. For a bridge link i can definetly associate from few kilometers away. But i was thinking that it is also possible to associate from few kilometer away using my labtop also. In orther words i am trying to connect a client to the 1310. Please if you have additional words on this, please i am really appreciate that co's i am sure it would help clarify more on this issue. Especially the limitation of clients or how far can i connect my client to the 1310, Or are there any special configuration on the 1310 plus my 12 dbi omni external antenna attach to it that would increase the range for my clients or is it only 100M-200M the maximum range for client irregardless of the external high gain antenna and all.
thanks.

AIR-ANT2506 External Antenna Coverage Range

I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building. Hand-held Teklogix scanners connect to the AP and scan material outside. What kind of coverage range can I expect from the AP? Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?

I've got an AIR-ANT2506 external antenna mounted on the side of a metal building.
Oh nuts. This is not gonna sound good.
The ANT2506 is a 2.4Ghz omni-directional antenna. If you point the antenna to your face, for instance, the signal is a near perfect circle, however, pair this with "the side of a metal building" and you've just literally turned an omni-directional antenna to a directional antenna.
Also, what's the recommended height for the AP to be mounted?
Maximum height is 10 feet. Make sure your antenna has clear line-of-sight. Any metalic or concrete obstruction can disperse the wireless signal.

AP1240 with AIR-ANT2566P4W-R antenna

Hi guys,
Would you use AIR-ANT2566P4W-R antenna with AP 1240? This AP supports 802.11a/g and has 4 external antenna ports (2ports for 2.4GHz and 2 for 5GHz band).
Ant2566 is for dual-band AP...
For me it looks like not the best practice, but to buy two single band directional antennas is not a cost efficient solution.

Hi,
If this AP supports dual band ? The 1242AG access point supports a wide range of antennas that you can connect to the RP-TNC connectors on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios.
I think you can use this antena(AIR-ANT2566P4W).

Nokia 3315 with cradle and external antenna(car an...

I have an old 3315 and I use it on a boat with an external antenna to get a better calling range.
My old 3315 is now having repair problems and I want to buy (on eBay) a more modern phone but still use the cradle and external antenna. A problem with the 3315 is that they are becoming uncommon and the ones that are available have been well used and often have tech problems now.
I see that the 3310 has a similar shape and no doubt the cradle fits it also. I have the antenna on a long piece of coax cable and pull it up the mast on the sailboat to improve the reception.
Can anyone give me some help with this? The more modern I go the more features I get (eg mp3 player,radio reception) however I still want to retain the existing external antenna setup as it is great for camping and boating to stay in touch.
Thanks
Peter

Also, what is the length of the cable, and what is the model No of the cradle?
I have a 3310 and can test how well it works with your setup.

What are the Cisco 1300 series Antenna Alignment options?

I am wondering if there are any options for aligning the antennas other than RSSI LED indications. The cisco aironet is going to be on top of a 10m tower and the lights will not be visible. Is there any way to configure them to an audible output that would increase in loudness or pitch when the signal was strongest?

Aironet 1552E with 8-dBi Directional Antenna AIR-ANT2588P3M-N

Hello everyone,
Im building a local wireless network and im going to use the Aironet 1552E outdoor cisco access point, with 2 patch-directional Antenna 8dBi (AIR-ANT2588P3M-N) at 2,4 GHz.
The problem im facing is that i have to cover a specific area with really thick walls (about 80cm cement and stone made). That obviously decreases my signal a lot. (i currently use an indoor cisco aironet 1130 (2dBi) and its really hard for it to have more than 3-4 signal bars inside the room).
So i would like to know, how can i calculate the distance that the new access point with the patch antenna's going to cover?
Or where can i find any specifications about the stength of the signal and the coverage area in real enviroment?
Thanks in advance for your answers and comments,
Periklis

Dear Scott,
I understand what you say, so to make it easier for you to provide me with a “possible” answer, I will inform you about the situation. And I hope that you will be able to help me.
We have already placed a local wireless network using the 1130AG cisco Access points. That Cisco as you know has a 2dBi omnidirectional internal antenna. We placed them outside of the buildings, inside of electrological boxes to protect them from the environmental changes. The walls that the signal has to penetrate are about 80cm of cement and stone. (pretty thick walls…)
Still, their signal differs (for ipad’s and smartphones) to 2-1 and laptops 4-5. Pretty good for an indoor AP placed outside of the buildings!
In order to increase our signal to the maximum that we can, we decided to change the 1130AG’s with 1532 E or 1552 E AP’s. And combine them with the 2,4GHz external 8dBi directional PATCH antennas.
After thinking about a way to provide better signal of wireless to our customers, we decided that increasing the signals power from 2dBi to 8dBi as well as changing the antenna’s from omnidirectional to patch directional , we will be able to achieve better penetration of the signal inside the buildings.
What im questioning you is, IF that thought of ours has a logic and that IF is gonna work with the current situation.
Also, I would like to know since we will propably go for this method, in which high and distance from the 1st building it should be for better coverage?
Hope to hear from you soon, since I really need an expert’s help on this task.
Thank you

AIR-AP1252-AG-A-K9 with AIR-ANT5135D-R is not working

Hi,
Please find below the attachments of my Cisco AP1252AG-A-K9 Configuration with AIR-ANT5135D-R antenna. I am very near to the access point but i am getting low signal and after some time i am loosing the signal. How to fix this problem. Can anyone help me in this issue.
Thanks,

Is there any configuration mistake or this antennas not supporting to this access point or what?
You may want to call it a "configuration" mistake. Aside from 802.11a (or 5.0 Ghz) inherit or designed limitation of short range it also has one thing "short" and that is the lack of penetration power.
I have no idea what wisdom management has but I'm sure this is not going to work.
Your options are the following:
1. Move the AP from the ground floor to the 1st Floor;
2. Get another AP for the 1st Floor; or
3. Enable 802.11b or 2.4 Ghz.

Outdoor wireless 1300 series available in A or N?

is there a 1300 series that has 802.11A or 802.11N? thanks

Hi Emmett,
Sadly there are no 1300 Series with "A" or "N" Radios.
For "A" try the 1400 Series
For "N" try the 1250 Series

Which Cisco Access Point is Waterprof ? (outdoor:BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120)

hi,
My questions to the community :
i have to choose for a customer some 50 Access points but that must have an external antennas with at least 8 dbi as gain and to be waterprof
for me the BR1300 + AIR-ANT24120 is a good choice if the BR1300 is Waterproof (For me :normaly all Cisco Access Point Outdoor must be WaterProof : but i want to have a confirmation with a document if possible )
and it's interessant to knew ,which Cisco Access Point is Waterproof ?
Think you All !
Zammit Ikbel

the 1310 is going to be waterproof, as is the 15xx product line, (152x and 155x). All this can be found in the data sheet for the AP.
That being said, you can also put any of the external AP into a NEMA enclosure, and have it be waterproofed, so long as the enclosure is rated as such.
HTH,
Steve

Cisco Aironet 1300 series

Hello,
i have 2 cisco aironet 1300 series configured as root bridge and non root bridge, i managed to configure them and they are associating only when they adjacent , when i separate them them communication fail , could you please help me to solve this . thx

Those are very old bridges. So if they are still functioning okay, do they require external antennas or not and do you have external antennas if they do?

Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Power

Can the 1310ap receive it's power from a POE switch?

Hi Edward,
Sadly the 1310 cannot be powered by PoE ,but, the Power Injector can be up to 100 meters away from the unit.
Dual coaxial cable to run from the power injector to the 1300. See attached notes:
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Point/Bridge Power Injector
The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Power Injector,converts the standard 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface that is suitable for weather protected areas to a dual F-Type connector interface for coax cables that are more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The Power Injector also provides power to the outdoor unit over the same cables with a power discover feature and surge protection. To support longer cable runs from your wireless network switch or router, the Power Injector LR is designed to accommodate up to a 100 meter coaxial cable run plus 100 meters of indoor cat5 cable?enabling total cable runs up to 200 meters. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge ships with the Power Injector LR2 and an AC power supply.

1300 series antenna

Dear All,
I wanted to ask whether AIRANT-24120 or other high gain bridge antennas can be used to provide Access point capabilities with 1300 series AP.
My scenario is that, that i wanted to give roaming services to my WIFI clients in approx 15km range. But the data sheets suggests that these antennas can be used for point to point or point to mulipoint bridge scenarios not with the Access point role. In short i was hoping to use AIRANT-24120 with one 1300 series AP to provide AP capabilities with long range.
Please guide me in this regard or suggest me any other solution.

Hi Tahirali,
In bridge environment this antenna (AIR-ANT24120 can operate up to 15.8 miles (approx ) at 2Mbps data rates. ie when two bridge are talking.
But what look like you are looking 15 km coverage for client. And its not possible because in AP enviroment we have client (wireless laptop and phone ) talking to AP.
Even though these bridge are powerful and can transmit up to 15 km using this antenna but we donot need to forget that these client operate with very lower power radio in it. ie less than 1 milli watt voltage.
So even though 1310 signal will reach client client will not able to send it signal so far ie 15 km or so . And hence its not possible until you have local tower set to all over this 15 km radius so to allow client to send back signal to server .
Its very similar as mobile phone as small cell that is phone connect to server through local tower.
thanks
