For more information about access point configuration, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.
!
Access points are radio transmission 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. Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity The instructions in this section are applicable to the 303 Series access points running ArubaOS only. Before you install access points in a network environment, make sure that the access points will be able to locate and connect to the controller when they are powered on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:
When connected to the network, each access point is assigned a valid IP address. Access points are able to locate the controller. Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller. Identifying Specific Installation Locations Use the access point placement map generated by Arubas RF Plan software application to determine the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/
interference sources will impact RF propagation and should be accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan. Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an access point to its fixed location. RF absorbers include:
Cement/concreteOld concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals. Natural ItemsFish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees Brick RF reflectors include:
Metal ObjectsMetal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets. Do not place an access point between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that access points are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances. RF interference sources include:
Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones) Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms 4 Aruba 303 Series Campus Access Points | Installation Guide Installing the Access Point The 303 Series access points ship with a ceiling mount bracket to attach to a 9/16 or 15/16 ceiling rail.
