Q9DAP105SDRAruba AP-105 Wireless Access Point

IAP-105 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide About the Aruba IAP-105 Access Points The Aruba IAP-105 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 and 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The IAP-105 access point works only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller. The Aruba IAP-105 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 an Aruba Controller Package Contents IAP-105 access point (1 unit or a pack of 10) Installation guide (this document) Figure 1 IAP-105 IAP-105 Hardware Overview Figure 2 IAP-105 Front LEDs The IAP-105 is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the various components of the AP. PWR: Indicates whether or not the IAP-105 is powered-on ENET: Indicates the status of the IAP-105’s Ethernet port 11A/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio 11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radio For information about the IAP-105’s LED behavior, see Table 1 on page 2. Figure 3 IAP-105 Rear Console Port Use the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management. Ethernet Port IAP-105 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 IAP-105. 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 IAP-105 access point, be sure 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 IAP-105 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 IAP-105 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 IAP-105 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…

The peak power in the table below is calculated by assuming a worst case scenario where the two transmitters are operating simultaneously in the same band. The Peak Power in mW is calculated by taking the maximum allowable conducted power measured in each band and multiplying by 2.
