Aruba AP-65 secure wall mounting kit AAThe Aruba AP Setup Process Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three installation steps:

WLAN Planning Determine how many Aruba APs are needed for your wire-

less network deployment and where they will be installed. This can be easily accomplished using Arubas automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This stage should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobil-

ity Controller installation and con guration. In typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are con gured and installed before APs. 1 Mobility Controller Discovery Aruba APs are factory con gured with initial settings that enable them to auto-

matically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility Controller. Once an Aruba AP associates to its host Mobil-

ity controller, it will receive its AP con guration and may be provisioned later with additional services and security parameters. 2 AP Installation Once Mobility Controller association has been reliably established, the AP can be physically installed at its intended permanent place of operation. 3 AP Provisioning The administrator de nes the opera-

tional behavior for each Aruba AP such as RF character-

istics, security features and location codes. For speci c AP con guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. DHCP with Vendor Specific Options A standards compliant DHCP server can be con gured to return the host Aruba Mobility Controllers IP address through Vendor Speci c Options (option 43) in the DHCP reply. If the host Mobil-

ity Controllers IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used to upload the Aruba APs software image and con guration. NOTE: If you have location-speci c con gurations for your APs, you need to apply this con guration information using AP Provisioning. Next Steps If you wish to fully con gure and provision your Aruba AP before installing it at its nal desired location, before installing it proceed to step 3, AP Provisioning. 2 Installing the Aruba 65 Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. The service location should be free from obstruc-

tions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the higher you place an AP or AM, the better its performance. The Aruba 65 can be mounted on a ceiling, wall or cubicle or stood upright on a desk stand. NOTE: For dimensions, see Product Speci cations. Allow for additional space to accommodate antenna articulation. Desktop Placement The preinstalled desk stand allows you to place the AP vertically on a desk or table top. You can also hang the AP using the built-in mounting slots or attach the AP to a standard non-recessed 15/16 ceiling tile rail using the built-in ceiling tile rail slots, but you must rst detach the desk stand. To detach the desk stand:

1. On the rear of AP, press down the tab on the lower left corner that secures the desk stand to the device. 2. Twist the stand counter-clock-

wise to detach it from the AP (see Figure 1) Using the Built-In Mounting Slots The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP 65 can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf To hang the AP upright using the mounting slots, perform the follow-

ing steps:

1. Install two screws in the wall or shelf. If attaching the device to dry-

wall, We recommend using appro-

priate wall anchors (not included). Push to release Figure 1 Rotate and remove 2. Align the AP mounting slots to capture the surface screws (see Figure 2) 3. Orient the antenna. For best performance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented vertically Service to all Aruba Networks equipment should be performed by trained service personnel only. To suspend the Aruba 65 from the ceiling using the integrat-

ed 15 /16 ceiling tile rail slots, perform the following steps:

1 Pull the FE networking cable (with RJ-45 male connector) through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile, located where the Aruba 65 is to be placed. 2 Insert the RJ-45 cable into the Aruba 65 FE port. 3 Align the Aruba 65 with the ceiling tile rail (15/16 wide) mounting slot guides at approximately a 30 degree angle to the cailing tile rail. Ensure any FE cable slack is located above the ceiling tile (see gure 3). 4 Pushing towards the ceiling tile, twist the Aruba 65 clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail (see gure 3). 5 Orient the antenna. For best perfor-

mance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented vertically. Ceiling tile rail Align tabs with rail Figure 3 Rotate AP until it clicks into place Ceiling tile Connecting Required Cables The AP 65s integrated 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-

pair) Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller. Use a 4 or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-

through FE cable, however, the AP 65 FE port supports MDI/

MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or cross-

over cables. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters

(325 feet). Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. NOTE: Aruba 65 APs are intended only for installation in Environment A as de ned in IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be con-

tained within the same building, including the interconnected equipments associ-

ated LAN connections. NOTE: When installed in an air-handling space, such as above suspended ceiling

(plenum), the unit is required to be powered via PoE only. Additional cabling such as Fast Ethernet (FE) cables installed in such spaces should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Connecting Cables & Power 1 Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 65 FE port. 2 Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following:

- a network port on an Aruba Mobility Controller, or

- a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af compliant port, or

- (if AC powering the device) an Ethernet switch with Layer 2/3 network connectivity to an Aruba Mobility Controller, while powering the AP 65 using the optional AC power adapter (use only approved Aruba Wireless Networks adapter UL Listed, marked LPS or NEC Class 2 and rated 5.0VDC, 3.0A output). FE Port Speci cations The 10/100 Mbps FE port is located on the rear of the Aruba 65 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 4:

Aruba AP 65 10/100 Mbps Ethernet 1 Mobility Controller Discovery Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Aruba 65 such that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information on AP con guration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. CAUTION:

Access Points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the con guration and operation of Access Points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Speci cally, Access Points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the Access Point will be used. About AP - Mobility Controller Discovery Aruba APs are factory con gured with basic network settings. This enables them (when connected to the network and powered on) to automatically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility Controller with no manual intervention required. The methods of automatic discovery and association include:

- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)

- DNS

- DHCP with Vendor Speci c Options Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) This is the simplest method for AP to Mobility Controller discovery and association. ADP allows Aruba APs to be connected to the net-

work (or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically. ADP performs a single key task:

Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Control-

ler from which the Aruba AP will acquire its initial software con guration. NOTE: Additionally, the AP software can also be uploaded via a standard TFTP server. ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected APs If your Aruba AP is directly connected to an active Ethernet inter-

face on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no con guration is required. You may proceed to the next step. ADP with Layer 3 Connected APs If your Aruba AP is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host network, then ADP multicasts packets to locate a host Aruba Mobility Controllers IP address. To ensure ADP is enabled, issue the following commands on the Master Aruba Mobility Controller:

(A6000) (con g) #adp discovery enable

(A6000) (con g) #adp igmp-join enable An IP helper address on the subnets default gateway, mapped to the host Aruba Mobility Controllers IP address, can be also used to facilitate the multicast / broadcast. Figure 2 DNS If the Aruba 65 is Layer 3 network connected, it can use network based DNS to resolve a factory con gured default host name aruba-master to derive the host Mobility Controllers IP address. To enable this, a record for aruba-master must be created on the network DNS server. Ceiling Mount Using the Built-In Ceiling Tile Rail Slots The snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the Aruba 65 can be used to securely attach the device directly to a 15/16 wide, standard ceiling tile rail. Figure 4 CAUTION: Ensure secure t of the Aruba 65 to the tile rail or mounting points when hanging the device from the ceiling, as poor installation could cause it to fall on people or equipment.

AP Provisioning is the process by which APs are assigned advanced or AP unique con guration parameters, for example location codes, security credentials, or Remote AP credentials. Location codes are important for RF calibration and triangula-

tion. AP Provisioning is not mandatory for basic wireless deploy-

ment however it is recommended. It is mandatory for situa-

tions where APs are required to be pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and nal network installation, such as Remote AP (RAP) deployments. Aruba APs may be provisioned in bulk in AP programming mode, where con guration parameters are de ned on the Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web interface, and then uploaded to APs in batches.
