Installation Guide Chapter 1 Aruba 650 Series Hardware Overview About the Aruba 650 Series Controller The Aruba 650 Series controller is an enterprise-class, wireless LAN controller. This controller connects, controls, and integrates wireless Access Points (APs) and Air Monitors (AMs) into a wired LAN system.
Aruba 650 Series controller The Aruba 650 is capable of supporting up to 16 external, campus connected APs.
650: no built-in external AP support; optional Aruba AP upgrade licenses are available.
650-8: includes built-in campus connected AP support for up to 8 APs; optional Aruba AP upgrade licenses are available. The Aruba 651 is capable of supporting up to 16 external, campus connected APs in addition to its single, internal AP.
651-1: includes a single, internal AP; no built-in external AP support; optional Aruba AP upgrade licenses are available.
651-9: includes a single, internal AP, as well as, built-in campus connected AP support for up to 8 APs; optional Aruba AP upgrade licenses are available. N O T E Feature related AP licenses are counted independently and in addition to the Aruba AP upgrade licenses. Contact your Aruba sales representative for complete details regarding software licensing options and support capacity. Minimum Software Requirements The Aruba 650 Series controller requires ArubaOS 3.4.0 or later. ArubaOS software builds prior to version 3.4.0 does not support the Aruba 650 Series controller. If your network currently runs a software build prior to 3.4.0, you must upgrade the software on your master and local controllers to 3.4.0 or later prior to installing an Aruba 650 Series Mobility Controller in your existing network. N O T E The master controller, its redundant master controller, and all of its local controllers must run on the same code of ArubaOS. Once you upgrade your network and install an Aruba 650 Series Mobility Controller into your network, verify that the software version on your controller matches the rest of your network. If the code shipped on the controller is prior to the version that you upgraded your network to, you must upgrade the code on the controller to match the rest of the network. Package Checklist

To purchase compatible SFP modules, contact your Aruba sales representative for details and assistance. N O T E Aruba tests and supports Aruba optics within their controller system. Third party optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Aruba does not guarantee proper functionality of third party optics when used in an Aruba system. 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports There are six 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports on the Aruba 650 Series. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is used in a bi-directional fashion, meaning the same pairs are used for both data transmission and reception. 8 | Aruba 650 Series Hardware Overview Aruba 650 Series Multi-Service Mobility Controller |
