AP 1850 Model port view Ports are easily accessible. Mode button is recessed and requires a tool such as a paperclip to engage. Note the vent holes below the ports, avoid using chemicals or solvents around the AP as the ingress of such materials have the potential to cause damage to the device. AP 1850 has similar physical dimensions as other Cisco APs but with a few differences in physical appearance, most of which are cosmetic changes to distinguish the different models. The mounting options and bracket configurations are identical and interchangeable between Cisco 1140, 1600, 1700, 1850, 2600, 2700, and 3700 series APs. Mechanical Dimensions AP 1850 Different installation options are available depending upon the requirements of the customer. Brackets are available from Cisco as well as third-party companies.

During the ordering process, the customer may choose one of two brackets (but not both). Each bracket is a zero-dollar ($0) option at the time of configuration. If the customer does not choose a bracket, the selection default is AIR-AP-BRACKET-1, which is the most popular for ceiling installations. The other choice is a universal bracket that carries part number AIR-AP-BRACKET-2. If the AP needs to be mounted directly to a ceiling on the grid work, then AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 is flush mounted and has the lowest profile. However, if the AP is mounted to an electrical box, other wiring fixture, inside a NEMA enclosure, or wall mounted, then AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 is a better choice.

The extra space in the bracket allows for wiring, and the extra holes line up with many popular electrical boxes. When mounting the bracket to the ceiling grid work, some ceiling tiles are recessed. For this reason, two different styles of ceiling clips, such as recessed and flush rails are available. When the AP needs to be wall-mounted, the installer should understand that walls can be a physical obstacle to the wireless signal.

Therefore, maintaining 360 degree coverage may be compromised by the wall. If the wall is an outside wall and/or the goal is to send the signal in an 180-degree pattern instead, a directional antenna, often referred to as a “patch” antenna, may be a better choice assuming that the AP 1850e is used. Avoid wall-mounting APs with internal antennas, such as the AP 1850i, unless you use the optional Oberon right-angle mount (). The internal antenna model is designed to mount to a ceiling to provide 360-degree coverage. If wall-mounted in a non-ceiling orientation, the signal may penetrate the floor above and below causing unintended coverage.

This results in additional and needless roaming access when a mobility client, for example a user with Wi-Fi phone, walks by on an adjacent floor. Instead, use the AP 1850e (with dipoles or patch antennas) or use an optional wall mount that puts the AP 1850i or AP 1850e into a ceiling type orientation when mounted to a wall. Note APs with internal antennas such as the AP 1850i that are wall mounted should use the Oberon mounting bracket unless roaming is not an issue, for example, hotspot, kiosk, or small venue scenario. The AP 1850 series is rated for installation in the Plenum area (UL-2043). Many customers prefer to locate the AP in such a way that nothing is visible on the ceiling. In some cases, this is preferred for aesthetic reasons, so customers may install the AP above a drop ceiling.

This may also be preferred in high theft areas such as classrooms or in areas where policy dictates that nothing can be visible on the ceiling. To meet this hard requirement, optional T-Bar hangar accessories such as Erico and Cooper, can be used ().

These accessories are manufactured by third-party companies. The Erico Caddy 512a, the Cooper B-Line BA50a, or similar T-Bar Grid T-Bar hangars can be used. For more information, see.
