Two TNC connectors on Aironet 1310 for external antennas

Hi All,
I have been checking the "Cisco Systems Aironet 1310 Intallation" manuals, and have noticed that the external antenna model has connectors for two antennas.
My question is if this device could be used as repetitor (logically splitting the signal between the two antennas)?
I will appreciate any comments.
Best Regards,
Igor Sotelo.

Although you can't fit two antenna to service two connections you might be able to get it to work with a single omni on the "relay" station so it can "see" both the remote stations. I've used this setup before and sometimes you can route traffic end to end, sometimes not. A certain solution would be 2 x 1310 at the central point connected with a cross lead. That way you are running two separate bridge connections and everything will work just fine, needs another bridge though : (

  • Aironet 1260 and external Antenna

    I know you can put a minimum of 3 AIR-ANT-2422 antenna on the 1261 AP but my question is, can you mix and match antenna?
    Currently there is an AIR-ANT-24120 used on an older 1200 model. Upgrading to a 1261. The 24120 is 12db and 2422 is 2.4db.
    Environment is Manufacturing floor with 30' ceilings, worried about coverage. Can the 24120 work on the 1261 or am I stuck with the 2422s?
    Thanks

    You can't mix-and-match these two.  AIR-ANT-24120 is a 12 dBi antenna.  The 1260 will not support anything higher than 6 dBi because this model simply doesn't have enough power to do so.
    The 1260, 3500e and 3600e doesn't have enough power because in the past people kept complaining that the 1250 needed 20.0w PoE power.  Now the the 1250 doesn't have any limitation about the maximum (maybe it does but I haven't seen or heard of it) gain support.  So Cisco cranked down the power requirement of the new WAPs and balanced it to the antenna gain.

  • Aironet 1310 with integrated antenna outdoor placement

    Hi Guys.
    One of our offices may be moving in the future to a building facing ours. Im thinking of buying 2 1310 outdoor AP/bridge devices intergrated antennas along with the roof mount kits. The buildings are in perfect line of site and our approx 33 meters apart.
    The issue is that both buildings are metal clad. Will this have any bearing to the radio connection between the devices ?

    Hi Jason,
    You are most welcome my friend! Set the Non-Root with this config ***Non-Root Bridge with Wireless clients***;
    Q. What devices can associate with a bridge?
    A. Root Bridge:
    Accepts associations and communications with non-root bridge devices and clients.
    Does not communicate with other root bridge devices.
    Communicates with multiple non-root bridge devices.
    Non-Root Bridge:
    Can associate and communicate with root devices or clients.
    Does not communicate with other non-root devices, unless the other non-root devices communicates with the root bridge.
    Note: Both the root bridge and the non-root bridge will service clients only if the role in the radio network Root Bridge with Wireless Clients or ***Non-Root Bridge with Wireless clients*** is supported by the bridge and is enabled.

  • CISCO aironet 1310 integrated antenna poor range

    Hi
    I am in Canada
    I am trying to configure an AIRONET 1310 with INTEGRATED antenna
    to work as an access point for clients on a campground
    The range I get is awfull (50 feet and I loose the signal completly)
    the aironet is outside and no tree are blocking it.
    I configured it all by default exept :
    -- in network interfaces : Radio0-802.11G Setting
    -- I changed DATA RATES from Default to Best Range

    Hi,
    1300 Integrated antenna model comes with a Vertically polarized 13dBi gain antenna. The beam width is 36° E-plane by 38° H-plane.
    Following is the range -
    Americas
    • 865 feet (260 meters) at 54 Mbps
    • 3465 feet (1055 meters) at 11 Mbps
    ETSI
    • 150 feet (45 meters) at 54 Mbps
    • 775 feet (235 meters) at 11 Mbps
    TELEC
    • 485 feet (145 meters) at 54 Mbps
    • 1095 feet (330 meters) at 11 Mbps
    So the range what you are getting is way too low.
    Please check the orientation of the AP, the antenna is Vertically Polarized.
    So the AP should be mounted vertically.
    Second make a note at the beamwidth 36° E-plane by 38° H-plane. Make sure that all your clients are only in this coverage area. If its an open area and you want coverage for client overall the area probably I won't go with this AP being a sector antenna not providing coverage in all 360° H-Plane.

  • 1310 with integrated antenna for 100M client conneciton

    I would like to use as a AP to connect from my laptop which 100M away. Is it possible to use aironet 1310 with integrated antenna for this approach? Any experience?

    Yes, You can use the 1310 device and configure it as a AP and connect it to your Wireless laptop. The Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge is a flexible platform with the capability of access point, bridge, and workgroup bridge functionality.

  • EIRP for Internal Antenna APs

    Hello everyone
    I understand EIRP for external Antenna APs  but does the transmit power of internal APs will be considered as EIRP or we will add antenna gain to get it? For Example 1131 and 1142 have different antenna gais so keeping tranmit power same 25mw will have same EIRP ro diffe

    It's exactly the same with internal antenna.
    The difference of antennas is not big enough to actually matter on EIRP here.
    Let me explain.
    The AP will adapt the transmit power by steps of 3db of gain of the antenna.
    Example : the AP transmits at 17dbm and you have a 3dbi gain antenna, the EIRP is 20.
    If you increase the antenna gain to 4, nothing will change. Only when arrived at 6dbi, the AP will lower the transmit power to 14dbm to stay at EIRP 20.
    So it's not granular enough to matter if the 1130 has a 3dbi antenna and the 1140 a 4dbi :-)

  • Dual RG6 Coaxial Cables for Cisco Aironet 1310

    Hi All,
    I would like to discuss if someone has experience using RG6 cables with "F" connectors (instead of Cisco cables) for the connection of the Aironet 1310 with its Power Injector. I mean, if the Cisco dual RG6 cables have something particular, compared to standard RG6 cables with "F" connectors.
    Thanks in advance for any comment.
    Regards,
    Igor Sotelo.

    Nothing special, other than it's a reasonably high grade of cabling.
    Any replacement that you use should have the same loss per foot/meter (or better), and be capable of carrying the power (some inner dielectric may not be as thermally stable).
    If you intend to go a longer distance, keep in mind that the power will dissipate at some distance to the point where the AP may come up, but get flaky under load due to the inability of the cable to pass enough power for the higher processing load.
    Good Luck

    I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive.  The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc).  Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

    Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

  • Aironet 1310 Antenna question

    Hello,
    ive got a question about the antenna of the aironet 1310. is there any difference between AIR-BR1310G-E-K9 and AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R in basic configuration?
    we had a bridge between 2 AIR-BR1310G-E-K9. but the non-root bridge went broken due its age. (connector pin was broken and couldnt get it out)
    we had an AIR-BR1310G-E-K9-R on spare, so we only replaced the antenna but we coulnd not get a connection between the 2. diddnt change to power injector or config.
    after som fiddling with the broken antenna we managed to get the pin out. changed the wire between the antenna and power injector and placed it back. and it worked like a charm.
    so does anyone has an awnser for me? add 2 pictures. the only difference i can see are the 2 extra ports on the K9-R.

    The 'R' at the end is supposed to specify that it's the model with RP-TNC connectors for an external antenna.  The model without the R should have an internal antenna.

  • Aironet 1310, power injector and poe cable

    Hello,
    Can the power injector delivered with aironet 1310 be supplied by a PoE RJ45 cable rather than the traditionnel DC adapter?
    The problem is, i thought Aironet 1310 was PoE. Which means it can be power supplied by a rj45 cable.
    But, when i openned my brand new 1310 box, i realized that 1st, it needs that Power Injector to work and that 2nd, Power injector needs a power supply...
    Usually when i buy a PoE access point, I just plug in my PoE rj45 cable and its power supplied :)
    Anyway, i hope there's an issue for this because where the 1310 should be placed, there's only a PoE rj45 cable arriving.
    Thanks in advance,
    lachapelle

    Hi lachapelle,
    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.

  • Aironet 1310 Antenna

    I am currently designing a wireless solution for a new building on campus. Our goal is to provide coverage to wireless clients via rooftop mounted AP's (specifically 1310's). We have 3 patio areas on 3 different sides of the building and I figured on 3 sepearate AP's (one for each patio area). My question is, what antenna will provide me with the coverage needed to cover each patio area which measure approx
    50 X 150 ft in size. I know this is a tough question without being on site but I was hoping for some direction. I already tried the AIR-ANT1729 and it did not suffice. Thanks for the help!

    Hey Jeremy,
    Sounds like a great project! Here are some additional docs that may help you on your way. On our Campus we have not provided any outdoor coverage so I'm curious to see how this works out for you.Also here is a reference for the 1728, you are correct that it is an indoor antenna.
    AIR-ANT1728
    Omnidirectional
    Ceiling-mount indoor antenna with RP-TNC connector-This antenna was designed for WLAN applications with frequencies of 2400-2500 MHz. The antenna is omni directional and has a nominal gain of 5.2dBi. It comes with a clip that allows it to be mounted to a drop-ceiling cross member.
    The following antennas can be used with the Cisco Aironet 1300 Series:
    •AIR-ANT2506—5.2dBi omnidirectional mast mount
    •AIR-ANT24120—12dBi omnidirectional mast mount
    •AIR-ANT1949—13.5dBi Yagi
    •AIR-ANT2410Y-R—10dBi Yagi
    •AIR-ANT3338—21dBi dish
    •AIR-ANT2414S-R—14dBi sector
    •AIR-ANT1729—6 dBi patch

  • Need Assistence Configuring 2 Aironet 1310s as a Bridge

    I'm just starting to setup 2 1310s as a bridge for the first time. I've setup some basic settings through the web interface: IP settings on the BVIs, single SSID, and no security (yet). Also, I've set one as a root-bridge and the other as a non-root bridge. Things seem to look good so far on the root bridge, but when I try to enable the the dot11 interface on the non-root bridge, I keep getting the following message in the log:
    %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to reset
    %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response
    I guess the first obvious question is: should I be able to establish a wireless signal without the external antennas? I don't have the external antennas yet, but my understanding is that I can establish a wireless signal without them as long as the 2 1310s are fairly close together; right now they are in my lab only a couple feet apart.
    If my assumption is correct, what am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Cisco aironet 1310 Outdoor access point

    I am looking at outdoor access points, I want to stick with Cisco aironet, we currently have 6 of them that are 6 years old and running great, one has had a problem because of humidity, dried it out and relocated and we are good again.
    I was looking at the Aironet 1310 Outdoor access point, but I can't find much information on it.  I am looking to see how many SSIDs can be setup, we currently have 2 one private, and one public, this is done with VLANS.  I am also looking at finding out about the power injector, it converts to coaxial cable, it has 2 RJ-45 and 2 Coaxial, does this mean if we get 2 access points, then I only need 1 power injector?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Rusty:
    AP supports up to 16 SSIDs to be configured.
    Multiple SSIDs with VLANs configuration is done almost the same way you do with current Aironet APs.
    see here: http://tiny.cc/0qwnkw
    You also need one power injector per AP. Each AP should use it's own power injector.
    The two coaxial output in the power injector both are used to be connected to the AP (see below image).
    The RJ-45 connectors in the power injector one of them is for Console connectivity and the other for network ethernet connectivity.
