Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point can be powered from an optional factory-supplied
external AC-to-48 VDC power adapter. If you are powering the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access
point using an external adapter, plug the adapter into the 48 VDC power jack on the side of the Cisco
1000 series lightweight access point.
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point includes two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g high-gain
internal antennas, which provide omnidirectional coverage. However, some Cisco 1000 series
lightweight access points can also use optional factory-supplied external high-gain and/or directional
antennas. When you are using external antennas, plug them into the male reverse-polarity TNC jacks on
the side of the AP1020 and AP1030 Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points.
Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points must use the factory-supplied internal or external antennas
Note
to avoid violating FCC requirements and voiding the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point Power Requirements

Each Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point requires a 48 VDC nominal (between 38 and 57 VDC)
power source capable of providing 7 W. If you use +48 VDC, the connector is center positive. Because
the power supply on the access point is isolated, a negative 48-volt supply could be used. In this case,
the ground side of the supply would go to the center pole "tip," and the negative 48-volt side would go
to the outside "ring" portion.
Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points can receive power from the external power supply (which
draws power from a 110-220 VAC electrical outlet) plugged into the side of the access point case, or
from Power over Ethernet.

Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Point External Power Supply

The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point can receive power from an external 110-220 VAC-
to-48 VDC power supply or from Power over Ethernet equipment.
The external power supply plugs into a secure 110 through 220 VAC electrical outlet. The converter
produces the required 48 VDC output for the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point. The converter
output feeds into the side of the Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point through a 48 VDC jack.
Note that the AIR-PWR-1000 external power supply can be ordered with country-specific electrical
outlet power cords. Contact Cisco when ordering to receive the correct power cord.
