Figure 2 AP-103 Rear Before You Begin AP-103 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide The Aruba AP-103 wireless access point supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. This access point uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-

out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-

performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-103 access point works only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller. The Aruba AP-103 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 PoE Central management configuration and upgrades through a controller The AP-103 requires ArubaOS 6.4.1.0 or later.

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80). EU Statement:

Pre-Installation Network Requirements After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the Aruba controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Aruba APs are deployed. For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your controller. AP Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your AP, ensure that you have the following:

CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length One of the following power sources:

802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE device Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:

Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point One of the following network services:

Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) DNS server with an A record DHCP Server with vendor-specific options Summary of the Setup Process Successful setup of an AP-103 consists of five tasks, which must be performed in this order:

1. Verify pre-installation connectivity. 2. 3. Identify the specific installation location for each AP. Install each AP. 4. Verify post-installation connectivity. 5. Configure each AP. Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-103 access points so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.

!

Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used. Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs are able to locate and connect to the controller after power on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:

When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address APs are able to locate the controller Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller. Identifying Specific Installation Locations You can mount the AP-103 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Arubas Airwave VisualRF 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 VisualRF 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. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:

Cement and brick Objects that contain water Metal Microwave ovens Wireless phones and headsets Installing the AP Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only. Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter The AP-103 ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16 and 15/16 ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other rail styles are available as accessory kits.

!

Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling, because 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 where the AP will be placed. 2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see Figure 4). 3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 4). Figure 4 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter 4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP. 5. 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. 6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail. Figure 5 Mounting the AP China RoHS Aruba products also comply with China environmental declaration requirements and are labeled with the EFUP 25 label shown at the left.

The Environment- Friendly Use Period (EFUP) for all enclosed products and their parts are per the symbol shown here. The Environment- Friendly Use Period is valid only when the product is operated under the conditions defined in the product manual. Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully (see Table 1). Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network connectivity. Configuring the AP-103 AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details. AP Configuration Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller. Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS CLI. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the ArubaOS User Guide. Product Specifications Electrical Ethernet:
