650 Series Campus Access Points Installation Guide The Aruba 650 Series Campus access points are high-performance, multi-radio wireless devices that can be deployed in either controller-based (ArubaAOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) network environments. These access points support the 802.11ax standard in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with a 4x4 MIMO tri-radio WI-Fi 6E platform. Additionally, 650 Series Campus access points provide dual wired 5Gbps Smart Rate Ethernet network interfaces that enhance their performance and client capacity.

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 4. Figure 4 Micro-B Port Pin-out 1: NC 2: RXD 3: TXD 4: GND 5: GND Ethernet Ports The 650 Series Campusaccess points are equipped with two 100/1000/2500/5000 Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX wired RJ45 Ethernet ports (E0 and E1). The 2.5bps speed complies with NBase-T and 802.3bz specifications. Both ports are compliant with 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet and 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet) standards. Both ports support 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt Power over Ethernet compliance to accept power from a POE source, such as a PoE midspan injector, or a network switch. The 650 Series access points are equipped with two active Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) (link to figure). 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 5 for a detailed port pin-out.

USB Interface The USB 2.0 interface located on the top of the is 650 Series compatible with selected cellular modems and other peripherals. When active, this port can supply up to 5W/1A to a connected device. Figure 6 650 Series USB Reset Button The reset button located on the bottom of the device can be used to reset the access point to factory default settings or turn off/on the LED display. 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. 4 |

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. If PoE is not available, a proprietary AP-AC2-12B power adapter or AP-AC2-48C adapter (sold separately) can be used to power the access point. When both PoE and DC power sources are available, the DC power source takes precedence. In that case, the access point simultaneously draws a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails, the access point switches to the PoE sources. The 650 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.

| 5 Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your <series> access points, ensure that you have the following:
n Cat5E or better UTP cable with network access n A compatible PoE injector with power cord One of the following network services:
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 650 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. 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. Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally. 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:
