When the AP is powered by both E0 and E1 ports simultaneously, the AP can be configured by management software to source PoE power from either port, or to combine power from both ports. The 518 Series access points support the Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature, to report AP power consumption and enable intelligent management of power-save capabilities. Table 3 lists operational restrictions when the AP is powered by different power options.

To turn off/on the LED display, press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip for less than 10 seconds during normal operation of the access point. 4 Aruba 518 Series Ruggedized Access Point | Installation Guide Before You Begin Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80). Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your 518 Series access point, be sure that you have the following:

Cat5E or better UTP cable with network access A compatible PoE injector with power cord One of the following network services:

Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) DNS server with an A record DHCP Server with vendor specific options Aruba, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-518 access points so that only authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the AP Software Quick Start 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. Identifying Specific Installation Locations Use the access point placement map generated by Aruba 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. Aruba 518 Series Ruggedized Access Point | Installation Guide 5 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 Access Point Installation Service to all Aruba products should be performed by trained service personnel only. Using the Pre-assembled Bracket A bracket has been pre-assembled on the back of the 518 Series access point. This bracket is used to work with the mount kits (sold separately) in Table 4 to mount the AP-518 on a ceiling rail, a solid surface, or a wall-box..

MNT-MP10-E mount kits, please refer to their installation guides shipped with the mount kits. Using the AP-270-MNT-ADP Mount Adapter You will need to remove the pre-assembled bracket to mount the AP-270-MNT-ADP adapter (sold separately) on the back of the AP-518. The AP-270-MNT-ADP adapter can work with the AP-270-MNT-XX mount kits in Table 5 to mount the AP-518 to a pole or a wall.

Once the AP-270-MNT-ADP adapter is attached to the AP, the AP can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole using the AP-270-MNT-XX mount kits in Table 5. Grounding the Access Point The grounding must be completed before powering up the access point. The grounding wire should be #8 AWG. 1. Peel the cover of one end of the grounding wire and place the bare grounding wire into the included grounding lug, and press firmly with the crimping pliers. 2. Fasten the grounding lug to the grounding hole on the access point with the included M4 x6 screw. Connecting the Ethernet Cable To connect the Ethernet cable to the access point, perform the following steps using the Ethernet cable glands that ship with your access point.

Failure to use the included Ethernet cable gland can lead to connectivity and POE issues. The cable is not included and must be purchased separately. Purchase a suitable UV-resistant, outdoor rated, CAT 5E or better RJ45 cable for use with the access point.

rational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment. Toute modification effectue sur cet quipement sans l'autorisation expresse de la partie responsable de la conformit est susceptible d'annuler son droit d'utilisation. Aruba access points must be installed by a professional installer. The professional installer is responsible for ensuring that grounding is available and it meets applicable local and national electrical codes. United States This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

Aruba 518 Series Ruggedized Access Point | Installation Guide 11 turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help. Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to a non-US model controller is a violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80). Industry Canada This Class B digital apparatus meets all of the requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. In accordance with Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter and receiver may only be used with an antenna, the maximum type and gain of which must be approved by Industry Canada.
