CHAPTER 3 AP Deployment This chapter covers the following topics:

Physical mounting of the Aruba 60/61

Connecting the required cables Mounting the Aruba 60/61 When provisioning is complete, mount the Aruba 60/61 at its intended service location. The Aruba 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. If necessary, use the Aruba RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum locations for your access points and air monitors. 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. If external antennas are used, make sure that they and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. TheAruba 60/61 and any optional external antennas are not suitable for outside use. AP Deployment 23 Chapter 3 The Aruba 60/61 can be mounted on a wall or suspended from above (not shown) using one of the optional mounting kits (dimensions vary) in the following ways:

1 2 3 FIGURE 3-1 Aruba 60/61 Mounting Options Note For dimensions, see Product Specifications. Allow 5 cm (2") additional space on the right-hand side for cables. Measurements for the Aruba AP60 depend on attached antennas, which vary. Aruba AP60 Detachable Antennas Before deploying the Aruba AP60, attach the appropriate antennas (not included). The antenna connections should be tightened by hand to avoid overtightening. The Aruba AP60 has dual Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) female antenna connectors that accept a variety of high-gain detachable antennas. A list of antennae tested for use with the Aruba AP60 is available on the Aruba Wireless Networks Web site:

http://www.arubanetworks.com Check the Interoperability section of the Products page for the latest information. Note Other antennae not listed may also work with the Aruba AP60, but for RF regulatory purposes should only be used if they are rated at a lower gain than similar, listed antennae. 24 Aruba 60/61 Installation Guide Part 0500034 July 2004 Make sure that all external antennas and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. The Aruba AP60 Access Points and their optional external antennas are not suitable for outside use. Free-Standing Placement To place the Aruba 60/61 indoors on a flat table or shelf:

AP Deployment 27 Chapter 3 Connecting Required Cables The Aruba 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. Selecting an FE Cable The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX

(twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate FE cable depends on the features required of the FE port:

SPOE When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet

(SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable. The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.

POE If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

Network Only If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). When the Aruba 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in such spaces should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices. For more port and cable details, see Appendix A. 28 Aruba 60/61 Installation Guide Part 0500034 July 2004 Connecting Cables & Power CAUTIONTo prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, be sure to comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of installation and operation of the AP. Do not allow the Aruba 60/61 or its attachments to be connected to or make contact with metal or power outlets on a different electrical ground than the device to which it is connected. Also, never con-

nect the AP or WLAN Switch to external storm grounding sources. 1 Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 60/61 FE port. 2 Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following:

A B To a network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch, or To a network hub, router, or switch that has a routable path to the Aruba WLAN Switch. Note If the connecting device supplies POE, a straight-through cable must con-

nect the Aruba 60/61 directly to the powering device without any interven-

ing hubs, routers, or other networking equipment. 3 Connect power, if necessary. The Aruba 60/61 can receive electrical power using the following options:

POE If connecting the Aruba 60/61 to a device that supplies IEEE 802.3af compliant POE no additional power connection is necessary.

Power Outlet Note When the Aruba 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), POE must be used instead of a power outlet. AP Deployment 29 Chapter 3 If local regulations and practices permit, connect the optional AC power adapter (not included) to the DC power socket on the Aruba 60/61 and plug it into an appropriate power outlet. CAUTIONTo prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, use only the AC power adapter certified for this device in the country where it is used. 30 Aruba 60/61 Installation Guide Part 0500034 July 2004 APPENDIX A Port Specifications FE Port The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba 60/61 and has an RJ-45 female connector.

If the connecting device supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with a male RJ-45 connector. The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.

If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE, including IEEE 802.3af POE as well as inline or midspan POE devices), use an 8- or 4-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors.

If the connecting device does not support Serial or POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. Port Specifications 31 Appendix A The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). When the Aruba 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22 (C), POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in such spaces should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices. Serial Breakout Adapter The optional serial breakout adapter is used to separate the serial communications lines from the Aruba 60/61 FE+SPOE port.

TABLE A-1 Console Terminal Settings Baud Rate Data Bits 9600 8 Parity None Stop Bits Flow Control 1 None To AP Specifications The RJ-45 connector labeled To AP attaches to the Aruba 60/61 FE port either directly (if the AP is physically available) or indirectly (if the AP is already deployed). When connecting indirectly, use a straight-through FE coupler to attach the To AP connector to the FE cable leading directly to the APs FE port with no intervening hubs, routers, or other network equipment. The cable must be 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with a maximum length of 100 meters (325 feet). The Aruba 60/61 and serial breakout adapter are plenum rated. When is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), any connecting FE cable should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices. To Network Specifications The RJ-45 connector labeled To Network attaches to an FE LAN segment. This connection is optional unless IEEE 802.11af Power Over Ethernet (POE) is used to power the AP during manual provisioning. A straight-through FE coupler may be used to attach the To Network connector to a LAN FE cable. The appropriate cable depends on the level of connectivity required of the FE port:

If the connecting device supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the Aruba 800 support SPOE.

Otherwise, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. Port Specifications 33 Appendix A Note Only IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet is supported for manual provi-

sioning. Inline or midspan POE devices will not work with the Aruba serial breakout adapter. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). The Aruba 60/61 and serial breakout adapter are plenum rated. When is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the connecting FE cable should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices. 34 Aruba 60/61 Installation Guide Part 0500034 July 2004 APPENDIX B Troubleshooting After provisioning and deployment, the Aruba 60/61 can be configured and managed through the Aruba WLAN Switch. However, the Aruba 60/61 includes built-in troubleshooting fea-

tures for situations where the switch commands are unable to diagnose AP problems. This appendix describes using the built-in AP support prompt for troubleshooting. Accessing the AP Support Prompt Depending on your network topology, the built-in AP Support prompt can be accessed using the AP serial console port or through the WLAN switch using the Serial Over Ethernet (SOE) interface or using Telnet from a remote management station. Direct SPOE Connection to WLAN Switch This method requires that the Aruba 60/61 is connected directly to an SPOE-compatible net-

work port on the Aruba WLAN Switch (see Connecting Required Cables on page 28). 1 Telnet to the Aruba WLAN Switch Serial-Over-Ethernet (SOE) interface. Use a Telnet client on your management workstation to connect to theAruba WLAN Switch IP address using logical port 2300. The connection command may vary depending on the specific software used, but commonly appears as follows:

> telnet <WLAN switch IP address> 2300 Troubleshooting 35 Appendix B 2 When prompted, log in to the Aruba WLAN Switch as the administrator:

user: admin password: <administrator password (not displayed)>

This will present you with the Aruba WLAN Switch SOE console prompt:

Available commands:

baud [9600|19200|38400|57600|115200]

connect <slot/port>

exit (no args) soe>

3 Connect to the Aruba WLAN Switch port to which the Aruba 60/61 is physically attached:

soe> connect <slot number>/<port number>

where slot number is the physical slot of the line card in the WLAN switch, and port number is the physical port. If the AP has not finished booting, allow the Autoboot timer to expire. When the device has booted, the AP support prompt (#) will appear. Direct Terminal Connection This method requires that the Aruba 60/61 is connected to a compatible serial console using the Aruba serial breakout adapter (see Connecting the Console Terminal on page 15). 1 Set up your local terminal. This procedure requires a terminal or computer running terminal emulation software with the following settings:
