Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide The Aruba AP-175 is a resilient, environmentally hardened, outdoor rated, dual-radio, dual-band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless access point. This outdoor access point is part of Arubas comprehensive wireless network solution. The AP-175 works only in conjunction with an Aruba controller and each AP can be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through the controller. The AP-175 requires ArubaOS 5.0.2.1 or later. There are three versions of the AP-175, which mainly differ in the way they receive power. AP-175P: PoE+ powered (802.3at) AP-175AC: AC powered (100 - 240 VAC) AP-175DC: DC powered (12 - 48 VDC) The AP-175AC/DC can function as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device by providing power through its Ethernet port in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af standard.

USB Console Interface A USB serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing direct local management. Use the included USB console cable to connect to the AP. You can download the necessary driver for USB-
UART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab. Use the following setting to access the terminal:
Table 1 Console Settings Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Flow Control 9600 8 None 1 None Power Interface The type of power interface on your AP-175 depends on which model you have purchased. AP-175P: This version does not include a power interface since it is only powered by PoE+ (802.3at). AP-175AC: 1x AC power connector AP-175DC: 1x DC power connector Do not connect a DC power cable to an AP-175AC or an AC power cable to a AP-175DC. For the AP-175AC, only use the AC power cord with model number CBL-AC-INTL. For the AP-175DC, only use DC power cord with model number CBL-DC-WW. Ethernet Interface The AP-175 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network connectivity. On the AP-175P, this port also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48 VDC as a standards-defined powered device (PD) from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE midspan injector. Inversely, the AP-175AC and AP-175DC can act as a PSE device to provide IEEE802.3af PoE power to devices connected to the Ethernet port. Grounding Point Always remember to protect your AP-175 by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be complete before connecting power to the AP-175 enclosure. Ensure that the resistance is less than 5 ohm between the ground termination point and the grounding tier. AP-175P LED Status Indicators The AP-175 include visual indicators for power, link, and radio status. Additionally, each radio has a four-
LED array that indicates received signal strength (RSSI). The RSSI LED indicators represent varying degrees in the RSSI level. The absence of a signal is indicated by no LED response, and full signal strength is indicated when all four LEDs are active and lit. 4 Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |

Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of Aruba APs and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Arubas system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process. Scale Requirements The potentially immense scale of outdoor deployments requires consideration of factors that may not be as important in a typical indoor deployment:
Range (distance): Range or distance between APs must be taken into account during the planning phase. Available AP mounting locations are often far less flexible in an outdoor environment. Regardless of these outdoor restrictions, the desired goal is to achieve results similar to an indoor deployment: a dense RF deployment that supports advanced Aruba features, such as ARM, efficient client roaming, and failover. Elevation: Proper consideration and planning for elevation differences between APs (AP to AP) and AP to Client can be critical to success. To plan for these differences in elevation, it is important to understand the 3D coverage pattern provided by the antennas that will be deployed in the environment. Non-Fixed Considerations: The RF environment might change on a day to day basis. Keep non-fixed items, such as shipping containers, vehicles, and future building construction, in mind when planning for an outdoor deployment. Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |
Installation Guide 7 Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interferences Sources Identifying known RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources while out in the field during the installation phase is critical. Even though outdoor environments consist of fewer RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources compared to indoor environments, ensure that these sources are identified and taken into consideration when installing and mounting an AP to its fixed outdoor location. RF Absorbers Cement/Concrete Natural Items: Trees/vegetation Brick RF Reflectors Metal Objects: Roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), other wire fences, or water pipes RF Interference Sources Other 802.11a/b/g/n or broadband access equipment operating nearby Industrial RF welding equipment or other Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment that utilizes RF to heat or alter the physical properties of materials Military, Commercial Aviation or Weather Radar Systems Line of Sight (Radio Path Planning) A wireless bridge or mesh link requires a radio line of sight between the two antennas for optimum performance. The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone. Figure 4 illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight. Figure 4 Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight Radio Line of Sight If there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly affects the decision on antenna placement and height. It is especially critical for long-distance links, where the radio signal could easily be lost. When planning the radio path for a wireless bridge or mesh link, consider these factors:
Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path. 8 Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |
Installation Guide Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path. For very long distance links, the curvature of the earth (20 cm per km) may need to be considered in the calculation of relative heights. Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for your area) Avoid a path that may incur temporary blockage due to the movement of cars, trains, or aircraft. Antenna Height A reliable wireless bridge or mesh link is usually best achieved by mounting the antennas at each end high enough for a clear radio line of sight between them. The minimum height required depends on the distance of the link, obstacles that may be in the path, topology of the terrain, and the curvature of the earth (for links over 3 miles). For long-distance links, the AP may have to be mounted on masts or poles that are tall enough to attain the minimum required clearance. Use the following table to estimate the required minimum clearance above the ground or path obstruction (for 5 GHz bridge links). Table 4 Antenna Minimum Height and Clearance Requirements Total Link Distance Max Clearance for 60% of First Fresnel Zone at 5.8 GHz Approximate Clearance for Earth Curvature Total Clearance Required at Mid-point of Link 0.25 mile (0.402 km) 4.6 ft (1.4 m) 0.007 ft (0.002 m) 0.5 mile (0.805 km) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 0.03 ft (0.010 m) 1 mile (1.6 km) 8.9 ft (2.7 m) 0.13 ft (0.04 m) 2 miles (3.2 km) 12.5 ft (3.8 m) 0.5 ft (0.15 m) 3 miles (4.8 km) 15.4 ft (4.7 m) 4 miles (6.4 km) 17.7 ft (5.4 m) 5 miles (8 km) 20 ft (6.1 m) 7 miles (11.3 km) 23.6 ft (7.2 m) 9 miles (14.5 km) 27 ft (8.2 m) 12 miles (19.3 km) 30.8 ft (9.4 m) 1.0 ft (0.3 m) 2.0 ft (0.6 m) 3.0 ft (0.9 m) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 10.2 ft (3.1 m) 18.0 ft (5.5 m) 4.6 ft (1.4 m) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 8.9 ft (2.7 m) 13.1 ft (4.0 m) 16.4 ft (5.0 m) 19.7 ft (6.0 m) 23 ft (7.0 m) 30 ft (9.1 m) 37 ft (11.3 m) 49 ft (14.9 m) 15 miles (24.1 km) 34.4 ft (10.5 m) 28.0 ft (8.5 m) 62.7 ft (19.1 m) To avoid any obstruction along the path, the height of the object must be added to the minimum clearance required for a clear radio line of sight. Consider the following simple example, illustrated in Figure 5. Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |
Installation Guide 9 Figure 5 Antenna Height and Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight Radio Line of Sight 2.4 m A 20 m 3 miles (4.8 km) 4.7 m 17.7 m B 1.4m 9 m 12 m A wireless bridge or mesh link is deployed to connect building A to building B, which is located three miles
(4.8 km) away. Mid-way between the two buildings is a small tree-covered hill. From the above table it can be seen that for a three-mile link, the object clearance required at the mid-point is 4.7 m (15.4 ft). The tree tops on the hill are at an elevation of 17.7 m (58.1 ft), so the antennas at each end of the link need to be at least 22.4 m (73.5 ft) high. Building A is six stories high, or 20 m (66 ft), so a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) mast or pole must be constructed on its roof to achieve the required antenna height. Building B is only three stories high, or 9 m (30 ft), but is located at an elevation that is 12 m (39 ft) higher than building A. To mount an antenna at the required height on building B, a mast or pole of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) is needed.
Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. Local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your wireless bridge or mesh link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Antenna Position and Orientation Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the wireless bridge or mesh link must be considered:
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the wireless bridge or mesh link. These include other WiFi radio antennas. Place the wireless bridge or mesh link away from power and telephone lines. Avoid placing the wireless bridge or mesh link too close to any metallic reflective surfaces, such as roof-
installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Ensure that there is at least 5 feet clearance from such objects. The wireless bridge or mesh link antennas at both ends of the link must be positioned with the same polarization direction, either horizontal or vertical. Proper alignment helps to maximize throughput. Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/
b/g channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal. 10 Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |
Installation Guide If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless bridge or mesh link, changing the antenna direction may improve the situation. Weather Conditions When planning wireless bridge or mesh links, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:
Temperature: The wireless bridge or mesh link is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -30C to 55C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. Wind Velocity: The wireless bridge or mesh link can operate in winds up to 165 miles per hour. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. Lightning: To protect against lightning induced surges, the AP-175 requires lightning protection on the radio interface ports.
An Aruba Lightning Arrestor, AP-LAR-1, must be installed on each antenna port for protection against lightning induced surges. Failure to use an AP-LAR-1 can void the warranty of an Aruba outdoor AP model and renders the AP susceptible to failure from lightning induced surges Rain: The wireless bridge or mesh link is weatherproofed against rain. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. Snow and Ice: Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link. Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, you must plan a cable route from the wireless bridge or mesh link outdoors to a suitable power and/or network source. Consider these points:
The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m (295 ft). Determine a building entry point for the cable (if applicable). Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building Grounding It is important that the wireless bridge or mesh link, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. Each AP-175 access point includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Ground the access point first using the external ground stud on the unit before making any other connection. Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |
Installation Guide 11 Installing Antennas 1. Before connecting the antennas, identify which of your antennas are 2.4 GHz and which are 5 GHz. On the AP-175, the 2.4 GHz antennas must be installed the R1 radio interfaces and the 5.0 GHz must be installed on the R0 radio interfaces. 2. After identifying which antennas will go where, install them by placing the antenna connector over the corresponding connector and the AP and turning the connector clockwise until hand tight. Repeat this process for each antenna. 3. Place the included metal weatherproof caps over any unused antenna interfaces by turning them clockwise until hand tight. Weatherproofing Connections Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor AP is essential to reliability and longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the AP or antennas through the connectors. A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings:
1. electrical tape 2. butyl rubber 3. electrical tape The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap of butyl rubber, and four-
layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards that could damage your AP or antennas. Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and away from connections. Required Items and Tools 3/4 (19 mm) Vinyl Electrical Tape Butyl Rubber Tape Knife or Box Cutter Types of Connections The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected antennas (Figure 6) and cable connections (Figure 7). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see
"Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas" on page14. For weatherproofing cable connections, see
"Weatherproofing Cable Connections" on page17. 12 Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |

Installation Guide 13 Important Points to Remember Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the release of condensation from the antennas. Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to complete the steps outlined below. When wrapping, make the each layer of tape as flat as possible. Wrinkles and folds in the tape create places for water and moisture to gather. Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas First Wrapping of Tape 1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (Figure 6). Weep holes allow condensation that has built up inside the antenna to escape. 2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it. 3. Cut a 4 (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the APs case. 4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4 (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the APs case.

Installation Guide Wrapping of Butyl Rubber 1. Cut a 3/4 (19 mm) strip of butyl rubber. 2. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 9) 3. Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam (Figure 10). Figure 9 Butyl Rubber Placement Cut 3/4 strip of rubber Squeeze thinner

Installation Guide Second Wrapping of Tape 1. Cut a 4 (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. 2. Where you begin wrapping depends on the orientation of the antenna. Water should flow in the opposite direction of the wrapping to prevent water from entering the connector between the layers of tape. Therefore, if the antenna is facing up, you should begin wrapping at the AP end of the connector. This will ensure that your fourth and final layer will be layered correctly. Conversely, if your antenna is facing down, you should begin wrapping on the antenna end of the connector. 3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin again.

Repeat this process for all connectors. Installing the AP-175 The AP-175 can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole. The following section describes how to attach the necessary hardware to the AP and how to mount the AP in the selected location. Selecting the Installation Site The site should be located within at least a 60% range of the 1st fresnel zone without obstacles to provide line of sight (LOS) transmission, increase coverage capacity, and minimize the number of necessary sites. If no LOS is secured, areas in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) areas could be covered as well, but the distance of coverage and area of coverage are decreased; more sites are needed to provide coverage for same area than in the LOS scenario. Interference must be considered in site selection. The new site should avoid known interference, unless the interference is controllable. Keep the AP-175 away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust, harmful gas, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar, radio station and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. In engineering design, the site should be selected Aruba AP-175 Outdoor Access Point |

Minimum data rate: One lit LEDs Maximum data rate: Four lit LEDs Outdoor Planning and Deployment Considerations Prior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a successful Aruba WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of Aruba APs and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Arubas system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process. Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non_US model controllers will be violation of the FCC Grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may result in a requirements by FCC to immediate termination of operation and my be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80). Scale Requirements The potentially immense scale of outdoor deployments requires consideration of factors that may not be as important in a typical indoor deployment:
Range (distance): Range or distance between APs must be taken into account during the planning phase. Available AP mounting locations are often far less flexible in an outdoor environment. Regardless of these outdoor restrictions, the desired goal is to achieve results similar to an indoor deployment: a dense RF deployment that supports advanced Aruba features, such as ARM, efficient client roaming, and failover. Elevation: Proper consideration and planning for elevation differences between APs (AP to AP) and AP to Client can be critical to success. To plan for these differences in elevation, it is important to understand the 3D coverage pattern provided by the antennas that will be deployed in the environment.

Installation Guide 7 Non-Fixed Considerations: The RF environment might change on a day to day basis. Keep non-fixed items, such as shipping containers, vehicles, and future building construction, in mind when planning for an outdoor deployment. Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interferences Sources Identifying known RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources while out in the field during the installation phase is critical. Even though outdoor environments consist of fewer RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources compared to indoor environments, ensure that these sources are identified and taken into consideration when installing and mounting an AP to its fixed outdoor location. RF Absorbers Cement/Concrete Natural Items: Trees/vegetation Brick RF Reflectors Metal Objects: Roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), other wire fences, or water pipes RF Interference Sources Other 802.11a/b/g/n or broadband access equipment operating nearby Industrial RF welding equipment or other Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment that utilizes RF to heat or alter the physical properties of materials Military, Commercial Aviation or Weather Radar Systems Line of Sight (Radio Path Planning) A wireless bridge or mesh link requires a radio line of sight between the two antennas for optimum performance. The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone. Figure 4 illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight. Figure 4 Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight Radio Line of Sight If there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly 8 Aruba IAP-175 Outdoor Instant Access Point |
Installation Guide affects the decision on antenna placement and height. It is especially critical for long-distance links, where the radio signal could easily be lost. When planning the radio path for a wireless bridge or mesh link, consider these factors:
Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path. Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path. For very long distance links, the curvature of the earth (20 cm per km) may need to be considered in the calculation of relative heights. Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for your area) Avoid a path that may incur temporary blockage due to the movement of cars, trains, or aircraft. Antenna Height A reliable wireless bridge or mesh link is usually best achieved by mounting the antennas at each end high enough for a clear radio line of sight between them. The minimum height required depends on the distance of the link, obstacles that may be in the path, topology of the terrain, and the curvature of the earth (for links over 3 miles). For long-distance links, the AP may have to be mounted on masts or poles that are tall enough to attain the minimum required clearance. Use the following table to estimate the required minimum clearance above the ground or path obstruction (for 5 GHz bridge links). Table 4 Antenna Minimum Height and Clearance Requirements Total Link Distance Max Clearance for 60% of First Fresnel Zone at 5.8 GHz Approximate Clearance for Earth Curvature Total Clearance Required at Mid-point of Link 0.25 mile (0.402 km) 4.6 ft (1.4 m) 0.007 ft (0.002 m) 0.5 mile (0.805 km) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 0.03 ft (0.010 m) 1 mile (1.6 km) 8.9 ft (2.7 m) 0.13 ft (0.04 m) 2 miles (3.2 km) 12.5 ft (3.8 m) 0.5 ft (0.15 m) 3 miles (4.8 km) 15.4 ft (4.7 m) 4 miles (6.4 km) 17.7 ft (5.4 m) 5 miles (8 km) 20 ft (6.1 m) 7 miles (11.3 km) 23.6 ft (7.2 m) 9 miles (14.5 km) 27 ft (8.2 m) 12 miles (19.3 km) 30.8 ft (9.4 m) 1.0 ft (0.3 m) 2.0 ft (0.6 m) 3.0 ft (0.9 m) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 10.2 ft (3.1 m) 18.0 ft (5.5 m) 4.6 ft (1.4 m) 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 8.9 ft (2.7 m) 13.1 ft (4.0 m) 16.4 ft (5.0 m) 19.7 ft (6.0 m) 23 ft (7.0 m) 30 ft (9.1 m) 37 ft (11.3 m) 49 ft (14.9 m) 15 miles (24.1 km) 34.4 ft (10.5 m) 28.0 ft (8.5 m) 62.7 ft (19.1 m) To avoid any obstruction along the path, the height of the object must be added to the minimum clearance required for a clear radio line of sight. Consider the following simple example, illustrated in Figure 5. Aruba IAP-175 Outdoor Instant Access Point |
Installation Guide 9 Figure 5 Antenna Height and Line of Sight Visual Line of Sight Radio Line of Sight 2.4 m A 20 m 3 miles (4.8 km) 5.4 m 17 m B 1.4 m 9 m 12 m A wireless bridge or mesh link is deployed to connect building A to building B, which is located three miles
(4.8 km) away. Mid-way between the two buildings is a small tree-covered hill. From the above table it can be seen that for a three-mile link, the object clearance required at the mid-point is 5.3 m (17.4 ft). The tree tops on the hill are at an elevation of 17 m (56 ft), so the antennas at each end of the link need to be at least 22.3 m (73 ft) high. Building A is six stories high, or 20 m (66 ft), so a 2.3 m (7.5 ft) mast or pole must be constructed on its roof to achieve the required antenna height. Building B is only three stories high, or 9 m
(30 ft), but is located at an elevation that is 12 m (39 ft) higher than building A. To mount an antenna at the required height on building B, a mast or pole of 1.3 m (4.3 ft) is needed.
Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. Local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your wireless bridge or mesh link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice. Antenna Position and Orientation Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the wireless bridge or mesh link must be considered:
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the wireless bridge or mesh link. These include other WiFi radio antennas. Place the wireless bridge or mesh link away from power and telephone lines. Avoid placing the wireless bridge or mesh link too close to any metallic reflective surfaces, such as roof-
installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Ensure that there is at least 5 feet clearance from such objects. The wireless bridge or mesh link antennas at both ends of the link must be positioned with the same polarization direction, either horizontal or vertical. Proper alignment helps to maximize throughput. Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/
b/g channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal. 10 Aruba IAP-175 Outdoor Instant Access Point |
Installation Guide If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless bridge or mesh link, changing the antenna direction may improve the situation. Weather Conditions When planning wireless bridge or mesh links, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:
Temperature: The wireless bridge or mesh link is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -30C to 55C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. Wind Velocity: The wireless bridge or mesh link can operate in winds up to 165 miles per hour. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. Lightning: To protect against lightning induced surges, the IAP-175 requires lightning protection on the radio interface ports.
An Aruba Lightning Arrestor, AP-LAR-1, must be installed on each antenna port for protection against lightning induced surges. Failure to use an AP-LAR-1 can void the warranty of an Aruba outdoor AP model and renders the AP susceptible to failure from lightning induced surges Rain: The wireless bridge or mesh link is weatherproofed against rain. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. Snow and Ice: Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link. Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, you must plan a cable route from the wireless bridge or mesh link outdoors to a suitable power and/or network source. Consider these points:
The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m (295 ft). Determine a building entry point for the cable (if applicable). Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building Grounding It is important that the wireless bridge or mesh link, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. Each IAP-175 access point includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Ground the access point first using the external ground stud on the unit before making any other connection. Aruba IAP-175 Outdoor Instant Access Point |
Installation Guide 11 Installing Antennas 1. Before connecting the antennas, identify which of your antennas are 2.4 GHz and which are 5 GHz. On the AP-175, the 2.4 GHz antennas must be installed the R1 radio interfaces and the 5.0 GHz must be installed on the R0 radio interfaces. 2. After identifying which antennas will go where, install them by placing the antenna connector over the corresponding connector and the AP and turning the connector clockwise until hand tight. Repeat this process for each antenna. 3. Place the included metal weatherproof caps over any unused antenna interfaces by turning them clockwise until hand tight. Weatherproofing Connections Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor AP is essential to reliability and longevity of your product. This process prevents water from entering the AP or antennas through the connectors. A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings:
1. electrical tape 2. butyl rubber 3. electrical tape The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap of butyl rubber, and four-
layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards that could damage your AP or antennas. Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and away from connections. Required Items and Tools 3/4 (19 mm) Vinyl Electrical Tape Butyl Rubber Tape Knife or Box Cutter Types of Connections The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected antennas (Figure 6) and cable connections (Figure 7). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see

Installation Guide 13 Important Points to Remember Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the release of condensation from the antennas. Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to complete the steps outlined below. When wrapping, make the each layer of tape as flat as possible. Wrinkles and folds in the tape create places for water and moisture to gather. Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas First Wrapping of Tape 1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (Figure 6). Weep holes allow condensation that has built up inside the antenna to escape. 2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it. 3. Cut a 4 (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape into strips makes in easier to maneuver the tape around the antennas and other components of the APs case. 4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer of the 3/4 (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the APs case.

Installation Guide Rubber will be wrapped with 4 layers of tape 4 1 _ 5 7 1 P A 15 Second Wrapping of Tape 1. Cut a 4 (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. 2. Where you begin wrapping depends on the orientation of the antenna. Water should flow in the opposite direction of the wrapping to prevent water from entering the connector between the layers of tape. Therefore, if the antenna is facing up, you should begin wrapping at the AP end of the connector. This will ensure that your fourth and final layer will be layered correctly. Conversely, if your antenna is facing down, you should begin wrapping on the antenna end of the connector. 3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin again.

Repeat this process for all connectors. Installing the IAP-175 The IAP-175 can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole. The following section describes how to attach the necessary hardware to the AP and how to mount the AP in the selected location. Service to all Aruba products should be performed by trained service personnel only.
Access points are radio transition devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used and comply with regulatory requirements for Outdoor intentional radiators. Selecting the Installation Site The site should be located within at least a 60% range of the 1st fresnel zone without obstacles to provide line of sight (LOS) transmission, increase coverage capacity, and minimize the number of necessary sites. Aruba IAP-175 Outdoor Instant Access Point |
Installation Guide 19 If no LOS is secured, areas in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) areas could be covered as well, but the distance of coverage and area of coverage are decreased; more sites are needed to provide coverage for same area than in the LOS scenario. Interference must be considered in site selection. The new site should avoid known interference, unless the interference is controllable. Keep the IAP-175 away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust, harmful gas, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar, radio station and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. In engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.
