610 Series Campus Access Points Installation Guide The Aruba 610 Series Campus Access Points are high-performance, dual-radio tri-band devices that support the IEEE 802.11ax WLANstandard in the 6GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E) as well as the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. Addi-
tionally, this series delivers capacity with MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Fre-
quency Division Multiple Access) technologies while also supporting IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless devices.

| 3 To force the LEDs into off mode or back to software defined mode, press the reset button for a short duration
(less than 10 seconds). Bluetooth Low Energy Radios 610 Series access points are equipped with an integrated BLE and 802.15.4 radio that provide the following capabilities:
n location and asset-tracking applications n wireless console access n IoT gateway applications Console Port The console port is a Micro-B connector is located on the back of this device. Use the proprietary AP-CBL-SERU cable or AP-MOD-SERU module (sold separately) for direct management of this device when connected to a serial terminal or laptop. For pin-out details, refer to Figure 5. Figure 5 Micro-B Port Pin-out 1: NC 2: RXD 3: TXD 4: GND 5: GND Ethernet Ports The 610 Series access points are equipped with two active Ethernet ports (E0 and E1). Both ports are 100/1000/2500/5000 Base-T, auto-sensing MDI/MDX, which supports uplink connectivity when linked by an Ethernet cable. Refer to Figure 6 for a detailed port pin-out. Figure 6 Ethernet Port Pin-Out Kensington Lock Slot The 610 Series is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional physical security. USB Interface The USB 2.0 interface located on the top of the is 610 Series compatible with selected cellular modems and other peripherals. When active, this port can supply up to 5W/1A to a connected device. 4 |

Use one of the following methods to reset the access point to factory default settings:
n To reset during normal operation:
l Hold the reset button for more than 10 seconds while the access point is running. l Release the reset button. n To reset during power up, hold the reset button while the access point is powering up. The system status LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The access point will now continue to boot with the factory default settings. To toggle the LED display between Off and Blinking, during the normal operation of the access point, shortly press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip. Power Both Ethernet ports support PoE-in, allowing the AP to draw power from an 802.3at/802.3bt PoE power source. 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 an 802.3af source may be used. PoE input rating is 57V max|0.3A. 0.3A is per pair of wires in Ethernet cable. Ethernet cable has 4 pair of wires totally. 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 con-
trollers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may res-
ult 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 610 Series access points, ensure that you have the following:
n A mount kit compatible with the APand mount surface n Cat5E or better UTP cable with network access Rev 01 | July 2022
| 5 Optional items n A compatible power adapter with cord n A compatible PoEmidspan injector with power cord n An AP-CBL-SERUconsole cable n An AP-MOD-SERU console module Also, make sure at least one of the following network services is supported:
n Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) n DNS server with an A record n DHCP Server with vendor specific options Aruba, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 610 Series access points so that only authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to theAP Software Quick Start Guide. If a power adapter other than the Aruba-approved adapter is used in the US or Canada, it should be NRTL listed, with an output rated 12V DC, minimum 4A, marked LPS and Class 2, and suitable for plugging into a standard power receptacle in the US and Canada. Identifying Specific Installation Locations Use the access point placement map generated by Aruba 650 Series 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:
n 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. n Natural ItemsFish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees n Brick RF reflectors include:
n 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. n 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:
n Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones) n Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms 6 |
Rev 01|July 2022 Portable RF communications equipment should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the access point. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
