AI RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 13.78 inches (35 cm) between the radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. You can mount the IAP-105 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Arubas 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 have been 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 AP to its fixed location. RF absorbers include:
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 within the concrete, blocking RF signals. Natural ItemsFish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees Brick RF reflectors include:
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 Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that APs are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances. RF interference sources include:
Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones) Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms Installing the AP Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only. Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf. When you choose the mounting location, allow additional space at the right of the unit for cables. 1. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the AP is such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre-
drilled hole in the mounting surface. 2. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches
(4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included). 3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the unit into place (see Figure 4). Figure 4 Installing the IAP-105 Access Point on a Wall 3 0 0 _ 5 0 1 P A Using the Integrated Ceiling Tile Rail Slots The snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the AP can be used to securely attach the device directly to a 15/16" wide, standard ceiling tile rail.
!
AI Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling; poor installation could cause it to fall onto people or equipment. 1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near 2. where the AP will be placed. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile. Figure 5 Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots 4 0 0 _ 5 0 1 P A 3. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks Table 1 IAP-105 Series LED Meanings into place on the ceiling tile rail. Connecting Required Cables Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. Ethernet Ports The RJ45 Ethernet port (ENET) supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/
MDX connections. Use these ports to connect the AP to a twisted pair Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long. The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has an RJ-
