RAP-2WG RAP-2WG Overview Rear View Figure 1 Rear View Power Socket E0 Uplink RJ-45 Port E1 LAN RJ-45 Port Antenna LEDs The RAP-2WG has four LED indicators that display the status of the device.
WLAN: Indicates wireless status and activity.
E1:Indicates activity and/or status on this port.
E0: Indicates activity and/or status on this port
POWER: When lit, the RAP-2WG is powered on. LED PWR Color(s) Activity Action Green On Off Off On Power on No power Wireless is inactive Wireless is active Flashing Radio mode Off On No link Link established Flashing Ethernet activity WLAN Green Ports (E0, E1) Green Bottom View Figure 3 Bottom View 10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports The RAP-2WG has two 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet ports for wired network connectivity.
E0: Uplink port
E1: LAN port DC IN (Power Socket) The RAP-2WG power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port. The RAP-2WG does not have an On/Off switch. The device turns on when the power adapter is attached and plugged into a power outlet. The device turns off when you disconnect the power adapter from the power source (outlet). Antenna The antenna allows client devices to connect to the RAP-2WG wirelessly. Reset Button Wall Mount Slots Reset Button To reset the RAP-2WG, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip, into the hole indicated in Figure 3 and press the button for 5 seconds, while powering on the RAP-2WG. This returns the RAP-2WG to factory defaults. Wall Mount Slots The wall mount slots illustrated in Figure 3 accommodate mounting the RAP-2WG on the wall or other vertical surfaces. Mounting hardware is not included. N O T E RAP-2WG Installation Figure 5 Manual Provisioning Page Tabletop Mounting The RAP-2WG is equipped with four rubber feet designed to support the device on a flat surface without damaging it. Install the RAP-2WG on a flat level surface. Wall Mounting The wall mount slots, on the back of the RAP-2WG, accommodate wall mounting or mounting to other vertical surfaces. 1. Install two screws in the wall or vertical surface. If attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included). 2. Align the AP mounting slots to capture the surface screws (see Figure 4). Wall Mounting Figure 4 Built-in Wall Mount Slots Specifications Mechanical Device Dimensions (antenna stowed) (HxWxD):

IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u Connecting the Required Cables The RAP-2WG 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-2WG:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-2WG. 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-2WG. 4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet. The RAP-2WG is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is solid green. Verifying Successful Installation Once the RAP-2WGs 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. See the Provisioning at Home section if you are unable to connect successfully. N O T E Provisioning at Home If your IT administrator instructed you to provision your RAP-2WG, complete the following steps after the RAP-2WG has been powered. 1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port E1 on the RAP-2WG and the other end to your computer. 2. Open a web browser and navigate to any URL. 3. An Aruba web page will appear (see Figure 5), requesting the IP address of the master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT administrator. Wireless LAN Network Standards:
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g The RAP-2WG will connect to the designated master controller and download the necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-2WG comes back up, it is ready to use. Antenna Type:
