Q9DAP68Wireless Access Point

AP-68 Series Wireless Access Point Installation Guide About the Aruba AP-68 Series The Aruba AP-68 and AP-68P are single-radio, single-band wireless access points that support the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11b/g wireless services. The AP-68 Series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller. The Aruba AP-68 Series access point provides the following capabilities: zWireless transceiver zProtocol-independent networking functionality zIEEE 802.11b/g/n operation as a wireless access point zIEEE 802.11b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor zCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE zCentral management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba Controller Package Contents zAP-68 or AP-68P access point zInstallation Guide z9/16-inch Ceiling Rail Adapter z15/16-inch Ceiling Rail Adapter zCeiling Rail Adapter Installation Guide z4x Rubber Feet AP-68 Series Hardware Overview Figure 1 Front (AP-68P Shown) LEDs zPWR: Indicates whether or not the AP-68 Series is powered-on zENET: Indicates the status of the AP-68 Series’s Ethernet port z11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radio For information about the AP-68 Series’s LED behavior, see Table 1. Figure 2 Rear (AP-68P Shown) External Antenna Connector The AP-68P is designed for use with an external antenna. The AP-68 is equipped with internal antennas. Figure 3 Bottom (AP-68P Shown) Console Port Use the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management. Ethernet Port AP-68 Series is equipped with a single 10/100Base-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 12V AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the AP-68 Series. 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-68 Series access point, be sure that you have the following: zCAT5 UTP cable of required length zOne of the following power sources: „IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source „Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) zAruba 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 Successful setup of an AP-68 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: zWhen connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address zAPs 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-68 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: zCement/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. zNatural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees zBrick RF reflectors include: zMetal 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. zDo 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: zMicrowave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones) zCordless 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. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 2.1 inches (5.3 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriat…
