1 x Quick Installation Guide (this document) CAUTION:
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them to repack the product in case there is a need to return it. Access Points are radio broadcast 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. BEFORE GETTING STARTED Before installing your Aruba 65 wirless access point, please ensure you have the following:
1 x Fast Ethernet cable of required length
1 x 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet source
(PSE) - Aruba Mobility Controller or Midspan device
1 x Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the network:
- with Layer 2/3 network connectivity your Aruba 65
- One of the following network services:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS server with an A record
(see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 65)
- DHCP Server with vendor speci c options
(see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 65) Optional:
Mounting screws (not supplied) AAThe Aruba AP Setup Process Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three AP installation stages:
WLAN Planning Determine how many Aruba access points will be needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed. This can be easily accom-
plished using Arubas automated RF Plan site-survey software
(available separately). This stage should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and con guration. In, typical Aruba installations, the mobility con-
trollers are con gured and installed prior to access points. 1 AP Provisioning Provides each Aruba access point with the initial setting required to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Once the Aruba access point is associated to its host Mobility Controller, device speci c con guration may be applied as required (such as location code). 2 AP Installation Once provisioned, the AP can be physi-
cally installed at its intended place of operation. 3 AP Con guration The administrator de nes the opera-
tional behavior for each Aruba access point such as RF char-
acteristics and security features. For speci c access point con guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. Goal of Access Point Provisioning Provisioning provides the Aruba access point with basic network settings that allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Initial provisioning may be achieved through a number of methods, including:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS
- DHCP with Vendor Speci c Options Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) This is the simplist method for AP provisioning. ADP allows Aruba access pionts to be connected to the network (or directly to a Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically. ADP performs one key task:
Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Control-
ler from which the Aruba access point will obtain its initial software load and con guration. NOTE: Additionally, the access point software can be uploaded via a standard TFTP server. ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected Access Points If your Aruba access point is directly connected to an active Ether-
net interface on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no con guration is required. You may proceed to the next step. ADP with Layer 3 Connected Access Points If your Aruba access point is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host network, then ADP will multicast 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:
(A5000) (con g) #adp discovery enable
(A5000) (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 based aspect of this process. Provisioning using DNS If Layer 3 network connected, the Aruba 65 can use network based DNS to resolve a factory con gured default host name aruba-master to derive the host Mobility Controller IP address. To enable this, a record for aruba-master must be created on the network DNS server. Connecting Required Cables NOTE: Aruba 65 Access Points are intended only for installation in Environment A as de ned in IEEE 802.3.af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipments associ-
ated LAN connections. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.X 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. 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:
- To a network port on the Mobility Controller, or
- To a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af compliant port FE Port Speci cations The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba 65 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 0-2:

For AP con guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide Provisioning using 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 Mobility Controllers IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used for uploading the Aruba access points software image and con guration. NOTE: If you have location-speci c con gurations for your Access Points, you will need to apply this con guration information using AP Reprovisioning. AP Reprovisioning Once an AP is associated to an Aruba Mobility Controller, it is capable of being Reprovisioned if necessary. AP Reprovisioning is the process by which APs are assigned unique con guration characteristics, for example, location codes. Location codes are important for recalibration and triangulation. For details on AP Reprovisioning, see the ArubaOS User Guide. AP Provisioning Recommended only in instances where APs require to be pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and nal network installation (suchas as Remote Access Point (RAP) deployments), in AP programming mode, AP con guration parameters are de ned on the Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web interface, where they can then be uploaded to individual access points as required. 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 obstructions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the better its performance. The Aruba 65 can be mounted on a wall using the mounting slots on the bottom of the unit. NOTE: For dimensions, see Product Speci cations. Allow 5 cm (2) additional space on the right-hand side for cables and ensure enough space for antenna articulation. Using the Built-In Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots The snap-in tile rail slots on the back of the Aruba 65 can be used to attach the device directlyto a 1 wide, standard ceiling tile rail. CAUTION: Do not use the mounting slots to hang the Aruba 65 from the ceiling, sideways, or in any place where it could fall on people or equipment. For more secure installation, use one of the optional mounting kits. To hang the Aruba 65 upright using the mounting slots, perform the following steps:
1 Install two screws in the wall or shelf. If attaching the device to drywall, we recommend using appropriate wall anchors (not included). 2 Align the Aruba 65 mount-
ing slots to capture the surface screws. 3 Orient the antenna. For best per-
formance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented vertically. Figure 0-1: Aruba 65 Mounting Part 0500133 Specifications Mechanical Device Dimensions (antenna stowed) (HxWxD) :
