Cisco 1572 Outdoor AP in Autonomous or Site Survey mode?

Can a 1572 outdoor AP be put into an Autonomous mode, or at least a Site Survey mode so coverage areas and signal strengths can be tested without the need for a wireless controller?
If so, is that what the sku "SW1570-UL01A01-K9   SW Cisco AP1570: Unified LOCAL" is for?  Seems like it would be, but not sure..
Thanks!

Got the answer to my own question... yes, it can be deployed in Autonomous mode... Installation guide lists this at the very end of the doc...

  • Cisco WCS to conduct an Active Wireless Site Survey

    Can I use Cisco WCS to conduct an Active Wireless Site Survey or it does only Predictive Wireless Site Survey ? I already bought a software that only do Passive but I need one to make an Active Wireless Site Survey.
    I think that WCS does not provide walkthrough in active mode.
    Tks.

    WCS woudl only be able to do a Passive Survey.  do to an 'active' or AP on a Stick survey you would need softare like Ekahau or Air Magnet to go out and read the RSSI/SNR from the AP.

  • Site Survey with 1142 AP

    The older Airespace APs had a site survey mode which was handy for just that. With IOS for the 1142 not being released yet, I was pondering a workaround
    I was thinking of configuring an 1142 for HREAP - Authentication Local / switch local and then disconnect it from the network. I am unsure if the AP would bring the radio up if the Ethernet interface was disconnected? Can anyone comment on this?
    Thanks!

    You can also configure a fallback role for the access point radio. The access point automatically assumes the fallback role when its Ethernet port is disabled or disconnected from the wired LAN. There are two possible fallback roles:
    Repeater-When the Ethernet port is disabled, the access point becomes a repeater and associates to a nearby root access point. You do not have to specify a root access point to which the fallback repeater associates; the repeater automatically associates to the root access point that provides the best radio connectivity.
    Shutdown-The access point shuts down its radio and disassociates all client devices.

  • Vocera Site Survey

    Good Day,
    Has anyone ever done a site survey for Vocera?  If so, did you use the actual badge during the site survey?  I have read the Vocera Design Guide and it stated that their badges can be put into a site survey mode to capture reading from a network AP however I am unsure if this means that a Vocera Infrastructure needs to be in place for this to happen. 
    I can probably get my hands on a couple badges but I'm not sure if I'll be able to configure them to associate to my survey AP so that I can do the site survey without them talking to the Vocera Server.  So, I'm kind of stuck not knowing if this is possible or not.  I typically use Proxim Wireless Cards and I know that they are most likely stronger than the Vocera badges so I'm not sure how I can get a true Apples to Apples survey result without having the badges during the survey.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! 

    George,
    Thanks for your response.  I read your blog and have a quick question for you.  When you did the Vocera Survey were you able to put the badge in site survey mode without having a Vocera Server in place??  I know that a 7925 phone can be used in survey mode without Call Manager so I just want to know if this is the same process with the badge because I assumed it was but was told that it wouldn't work without the Vocera Server.  I tried to reach out to Vocera to confirm but they were reluctant to answer any questions because they thought for some reason we were competition for them. 
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Cisco 3502i in autonomous mode - for site survey

    Hi,
    Last year I was able to load autonomous mode IOS to a cisco 3502i to do the site survey using instructions at following thread.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2084624
    This year I have to do site survey for a different site and need to do the same process. However on the CCO I don't see the autonomous image. Under downloads -> products -> wireless -> access points -> Cisco 3502i I see IOS link and when clicked there is gives
    ap3g1-k9w8-tar.124-23c.JA4.tar. I even loaded that IOS but it seems to be light weight mode IOS.
    After reading a few different threads somebody clarified that K7 = IOS and K8 = Lightweight. However I can't seem to find the lightweight mode anywhere.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2140629
    Can somebody guide me? I need to run this code only for the site survey and totally understand the fact that Cisco would not support such configuration.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry to inform you but there is no autonomous code for the 3500. You could however use the 1140 code. But this not supported by Cisco but it does work ..

  • Wireless site survey doubts with cisco aironet site survey utility tool

    Hi,
    I have 1131 autonomous AP and we have project where we need to implement WLC 5500 with 1140 LAP.
    Before that , we need to do site survey . we are going to use cisco aironet adapter and with the help of site survey utility tool we are planning to do site survey .
    I have below doubt before starting the site survey :
    1) do we need to configure the AP 1131 with existing LAN set-up of client to get connected ?
    If yes , how can i shift this 1131 ap always from one location to another location and connect to respective vlan in switch ?  It would be tedious job ....
    because , We need to connect ( get associated ) our laptop always to 1131 ap and then roam around to get the RSSI , signal strength , SNR and throughput ....  ...
    to configure the AP to existing lan set-up of client , it would not be flexible to do site survey ?
    without that , how can I just plug-in power to 1131 AP with standalone configuration .... and without connecting to switch ( any lan-port ) , do the site survey ?
    Please suggest me .............
    In short , without connecting to LAN set-up of client , how can i do the site survey ?
    2) will it be worth to do site survey with cisco aironet card ( site survey utility ) ? or we should i have different site survey software for the same ?
    Please share the knowledge .... 

    Site Surveys are important and should be done by a professional. A poor site survey can lead to a lot of problems. It would be hard to put all aspects of conducting a proper site survey in a single post. Lets cover a few of the basics.
    1) If you plan to deploy 1140 model access points. Then you should use that AP in autonomous mode so you dont have to be plugged into your network
    2) The AP gets powered by an exteral power source like this battery for exmaple:
    http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=345625&WT.mc_id=google_base&sp=true
    3) As far as moving the AP around you can purchase a site survey pole like this:
    http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=392506&eventPage=1
    4) As for software, I like AirMagnet Surveyor
    http://www.airmagnet.com/products/survey/
    But again. There is a lot to know about doing surveys...

  • Outdoor site survey...

    have any of you guys ever did an actual outdoor site survey for mesh. the client already purchased 20x1510's which will be used for voice. the initial site survey report we did was just based on the guidelines from Cisco. re: RAP-MAP (1.2km), MAP-MAP (300m), MAP-Client pc (150m), ap height (10m).
    however, the client requires that a signal propagation report be submitted, meaning putting the ap's on temporary locations and doing the signal stregth test/site survey.
    1. is there an equivalent small ap to the 1510 that can be used, instead, and just fix it on the side walls of the buildings and/or street poles?
    2. or if any of you guys did the actual survey with the 1510, how did you do it or can anybody share their ideas and experience.
    thanks, you all!!!

    Well... first get a 20 year old pickup truck and mount a TV station news van pneumatic pole on it. (halfway kidding here but look at my rig on http://ralphfowler.com )
    Seriously- make yourself some sort of portable mount that can safely hold the radio at the proper height so you can do this in a secure way.
    I would not advise using any radio other than what you plan to use in the project. The outdoor mesh radios are kind of unique in their antenna placement, etc and I would want as close to a real test as possible.
    I use a 2106 "baby controller" to make the radio work. I wish Cisco would release a site survey utility that runs on a laptop that would activate a radio so I could avoid having an expensive controller tied up.
    Once you have the radio going, use AirMagnet Surver (if you are rich), to do an actual active survey. It has a mode that in which it connects to the node for its test in addition to a passive mode where it just listens.
    The "poor man's way" would be to use Netstumbler and a GPS. It is somewhat of a combo active/passive survey (it does use probe requests so the AP at least has to hear it to respond).
    Pull the data from the survey into a spreadsheet and run a couple of sorts on it to break it into strength regions.
    Import the regions one at a time into something like Microsoft Streets and Trips and give each batch a colored dot for its icon.
    When finished, you will hasve an attractive Poor Man's Drive Test that can rival AirMagnet's passive survey.
    Bask in the glory as people wonder how you did it with almost no software investment.
    I will try to find a jpg of one I did and post it as well. If I do, I will notify you here.

  • How to check if Cisco WSA is already blocking the malicious sites?

    How to check if Cisco WSA is already blocking the malicious sites? 

    Depends on what you mean, but in general what you did will not work.
    The usual intent of RMI is to have several processs running and all of them use one process as the repository.
    A static value is only visible in one VM instance thus it will not be visible in another process.
    So in that situation you could check if the the server socket that the RMI using is open. But just catching the exception, presuming that you catch the correct one, is also sufficient.

  • Showing Full AP name in cisco Wireless phone 7921-site survey

    Hi,
    I am working on a project where cisco wireless phone 7921  is utilized. We use phones sitesurvey tool for coverage tests. Our AP names are 18 characters in length and are not dispayed in full in site survey screen. Please suggest on a way to increase the display character count in the site survey or to make it a running text. Thank you.

    Hi Leo,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the Fluke OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet. Looks very interesting, but looking at the cost of the Tablet, I am pretty sure that my Employer will say NO.
    Anyways, Can you recommend some vendor options (It will be really helpful, if you can share the Model information as well) for the list highlighted below.
    1. AP Tripod (Reaches 3 meters max) - Need recommendation on AP Telescopic Tripod which should be portable to carry in the Peli Case.
    2. Distance measuring tool - Need recommendation on this.
    3. Laptop harness - I did some research and found Connect-A-Desk Laptop Harness, which I am planning to purchase
    Also, I need your inputs in choosing Antennas for Site-Survey Kit (I am looking at must to have options for the Kit).
    Thanks,

  • Site survey on non cisco card

    We currently own several Cisco aironet cards which we do site survey's with. As a company standard our laptops were replaced with new laptops which did not include type II pcmcia slots. Is their a solution for the express 34/54 slots to work with the Cisco aironet site survey software?

    I have seen PCMCIA to USB adapters but I think they need to be cutom made for each type of PCMCIA card. Does anyone know of a suitable adapter?

  • Wireless mesh site survey

    Hello all,
    I need to perform several wireless mesh site surveys. The challenge I have is that I generally use a 2600 autonomous ap for indoor site surveys. However I have not found an easy way to do an outdoor mesh site survey. Any suggestions or best practices from the group?

  • Wireless Site-Survey for High Density Environment

    Hi,
    I have done many Wireless SIte-Surveys in my career. But this will the first time, I am going to do a Site-Survey for High Density environment (School with Byod 1:1 design).
    Currently, the school has a Wireless network in place. The current wireless design includes 3502 APs, 5508 WLC and Cisco Prime. The customer has issues with sufficient bandwidth in classrooms which limiting the students and teachers to access the learning content.
    It is understood that there was no initial Site-Survey conducted, the AP positioning was made based on their knowledge.
    Now, I am not sure as how to conduct the Survey here?
    Do I need to conduct an Active Survey by connecting to the existing Wireless Network in the School? Or just passive Survey will be enough to determine the exact issues with the current design and provide the recommendations?
    I have gone through the Cisco High Density design and white papers to start with.
    Thanks,
    CJ

    Before you do the site survey, I'd do the initial breakdown of the LAN.
    1.  What kind of switch ports are we talking about?
    2.  Are the APs connected AND negotiated to 1 Gbps ports?
    3.  What is/are the switch uplinks?  100 Mbps, 1- or 10- Gbps, Etherchannel?
    4.  Line errors on the links between the AP and the switch, uplinks and the link between the WLC and the switches?
    5.  WLC link?  How many are used?  Are they LAG or not?
    6.  Configuration of the WLC must be checked.
    Once you've checked these do I start talking about wireless:
    1.  What problems are the staff/students experiencing?
    2.  How many APs to a classroom?  How big is the class?
    3.  Determine what kind of traffic are each class trying to push?
    4.  Where are the APs located in relations to the staff/student?
    5.  Verify co-channel interferrence.  I know they have 3502 but I've seen people disable CleanAir.
    6.  Verify what kind of NIC cards are used and whether drivers have been updated or not.
    I'm in the middle of improving our wireless coverage in >98 schools.  This means I am now deploying 1 AP per classroom.  In areas where the students/staff converge, I put additional APs (both indoors and outdoors).

  • Config for using 1242 for site survey

    Hello, i'm helping a coworker, we have a 1242 and would like to use it for a site survey, but we are not able to activate the radio using conf t it is in light weight, are we missing something? were can i find a config example to use for this purpose?

    Hi Alfred,
    Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
    You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
    Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
    Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
    Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
    Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
    Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
    a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
    b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.
    Step 4 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
    Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 9 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 10 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
