6. Select Remote APs managed by a Mobility Controller from the drop down menu. 7. Enter the IP address of the controller. This is provided by your network administrator. 8. Click Convert Now to complete the conversion (see Figure 4). 9. The RAP-108/RAP-109 will reboot and begin operating in RAP mode. Figure 4 IAP-RAP Conversion over the Internet Aruba RAP-108 and RAP-109 Remote Access Point Installation Guide The Aruba RAP-108 and RAP-109 are dual-radio, dual-band remote access points that supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. These access point uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-
throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The RAP-108/RAP-109 ships with Aruba Instant software. Therefore, out of the box, the RAP-108/RAP-109 will operate as a Virtual Controller (VC) or an Instant AP. However, the RAP-108/RAP-109 can be converted to operate as a Remote AP
(RAP). For information about the IAP to RAP conversion, see RAP Conversion. The RAP-108/RAP-109 requires Aruba Instant 3.2 or ArubaOS 6.2. The Aruba RAP-108/RAP-109 remote access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver Protocol-independent networking functionality IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at Package Contents RAP-108 or RAP-109 Remote Access Point RAP-108/RAP-109 Mounting Stand Installation Guide Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.

. A m 0 5 3 V 6 5 Reset Button The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset the AP:
1. Power off the AP. 2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip. 3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flash within 5 seconds. 4. Release the reset button. The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings. USB Interface The RAP-108/RAP-109 is equipped with a USB interface for connectivity with cellular modems. The USB interface is disabled when the RAP-108/RAP-109 is powered from 802.3af PoE. Console Port Use the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management. ENET 0 For primary network connectivity, RAP-108/RAP-109 is equipped with a 10/100/
1000BASE-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX Gigabit Ethernet port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE. ENET 1 For secondary network connectivity, RAP-108/RAP-109 is equipped with a 10/
100BASE-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX Fast Ethernet port. DC Power Socket If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the RAP-108/RAP-109. External Antenna Connectors (RAP-108 Only) The RAP-108 is equipped with two RP-SMA external antenna connectors and requires the use of two dual-band antennas. These ports are marked ANT0 and ANT1, matching radio chains 0 and 1. In order to ensure accurate RF power level setting and reporting in software, as well as compliance with any regulatory restrictions, the correct gain for antennas used (adjusted for any additional cabling loss, if applicable) needs to be entered in software when provisioning the RAP-108. Two antenna gain numbers are needed for this; one for each supported band (2.4GHz and 5GHz). These numbers can be obtained from the antenna datasheet or specifications. Antenna gain for RAP-109 is hardcoded to the correct values already, so there is no need for any additional action on that platform. Figure 2 LEDs R W P 0 T E N E 1 T E N E z H G 5 z H G 4

Place the RAP-108/RAP-109 in the stand (see Figure 3) and place the stand on a flat, level surface. To attach the RAP to the stand:
1. Align the center peg of the stand with recessed hole on the unit. 2. Align the mounting posts on the back of the AP with corresponding openings on the stand. 3. Rotate the AP clockwise until it clicks into place. Figure 3 Stand Installation 2 0 _ 8 0 1
P A R Connecting the Required Cables The RAP-108/RAP-109 must be connected to a network device that has access to the Internet, such as a router or modem. To complete the installation of the RAP-
108/RAP-109:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-108/RAP-
109. 2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem or router. 3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the RAP-108/RAP-
109. 4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet. The RAP-108/RAP-109 is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is solid green. Verifying Successful Installation Once the RAP-108/RAP-109s PWR LED has come up, the device will take 2 to 3 minutes to complete the boot cycle. Once the boot cycle is complete, you can connect to your company or corporate network. RAP Conversion If your network administrator has instructed you to convert the RAP-108/RAP-
109 to work in RAP mode, follow the process below to complete the RAP conversion. 1. Power up the RAP-108/RAP-109. 2. Connect to Instant SSID. 3. Login to the RAP-108/RAP-109 by navigating to http://
