Ethernet Port AP-100 Series is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE. DC Power Socket If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the AP-100 Series. Reset Button The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset the AP: 1. Power off the AP. 2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip. 3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flash within 5 seconds. 4. Release the reset button. The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings. Before You Begin 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-100 Series AP, ensure that you have the following:  CAT5 UTP cable of required length  One of the following power sources:  IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source  Supports full functionality for AP-100 Series  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-100 Series access point consists of five tasks, which must be performed in this order: 1. Verify pre-installation connectivity. 2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP. 3. Install each AP. 4. Verify post-installation connectivity. 5. Configure each AP. 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-100 Series access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s 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/concrete—Old 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 Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees  Brick RF reflectors include:  Metal Objects—Metal 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 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 3). Figure 3 Installing the AP-100 Series Access Point on a Wall 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. 1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed. 2. 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 4). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile. Figure 4 Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots 3. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail. Connecting Required Cables Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.
