Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point Installation Guide 0510457-02| December 20071 About the Aruba AP-120 Series Access Points The Aruba AP-120 series of wireless access points support the imminent IEEE 802.11n (currently draft 2.0) standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, pre-802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-120 series access points are available in versions with single or dual radios and with integrated antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that support detachable antennas. The AP-120 series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller. The Aruba AP-120 series access points provide the following capabilities: zWireless transceiver zProtocol-independent networking functionality zIEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless access point zIEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless air monitor zCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE as well as high power over Ethernet pre-standards (PoE + / 802.3at) zCentral management configuration, and upgrades through an Aruba Mobility Controller Figure 1 AP-120 Series Access Points Package Contents zAP-120 series access point zInstallation guide (this document) ap12_001 AP-120/124 (3 x RP-SMA interfaces for detachable antennas) AP-121/125 (3 x integrated dual-band antennas) NOTE 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. 2Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point| Installation Guide Before You Begin WLAN Planning Determine how many Aruba APs are needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed. You can easily accomplish this planning using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and configuration. In typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are configured and installed before the APs. For WLAN planning assistance, refer to the Indoor Access Points: Site Survey and Planning Pre- Deployment Guide and the RF Plan Installation and User Guide. Pre-Installation Network Requirements After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the Aruba Mobility Controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Aruba Access Points are deployed. For initial setup of the Mobility Controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your controller. Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your AP-120 series access point, be sure that you have the following: zFor the AP-120/AP-124: External antennas as specified in the network deployment plan zCAT5 UTP cable of required length zOne of the following power sources: „IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source „Supports full functionality for AP-120/AP-121; supports reduced functionality for AP-124/AP-125 „IEEE Power Over Ethernet + (PoE+) source output at 56Volts @ 350mA „The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE device „Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) zAruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the network: „Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point „One of the following network services: zAruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) zDNS server with an “A” record zDHCP Server with vendor-specific options Summary of the Setup Process NOTE Additional mounting kits for use with the AP-120 series access points are sold separately. Contact your Aruba sales representative for details. NOTE It is important that you verify the items listed under Pre-Installation Checklist before you attempt to set up and install an AP-120 series AP. Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point| Installation Guide3 Successful setup of an AP-120 series access point consists of four 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 will be able to locate and connect to the Mobility Controller when powered on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions: zWhen connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address zAPs are able to locate the Mobility Controller (Mobility Controller Discovery) Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the Mobility Controller. Identifying Specific Installation Locations You can mount the AP-120 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. NOTE Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-120 series 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 Aruba OS User Guide. ! CAUTION 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 com…
