The device works in conjunction with the Aruba WLAN Switch and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor. As a wireless Access Point (AP), the Aruba 60/61 provides transparent, secure, high-speed data communications between wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the wired LAN. As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Aruba products, the Aruba 60/61 enhances wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more. NoteInstalling the AP 60/61 requires setting the antenna power, which requires profes- sional training. The AP60/61 installer must be trained to perform this configura- tion. 2Aruba60/61Part 0500034 Installation GuideJuly 2004 Front View FIGURE1-1 Aruba 60/61 Front View 1 2 3 4 5 AB CBA Introduction 3 Chapter 1 Antenna fixtures for Wireless Communications Depending on the model, the AP will have one of the following: Aruba AP60–Two Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connectors for attaching separate antennas (not included). For details, see “Aruba AP60 Detachable Antennas” on page 24. Aruba AP61–Built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band, omnidirectional antennas Indicator LEDs During operation, the Aruba 60/61 LEDs provide the following information: NoteLEDs on the Aruba WLAN Switch provide additional status and security informa- tion about connected APs.See the Aruba AirOS User Guide for more information. Air Vents These vents promote proper air circulation for cooling the device. Do not allow these vents to be obstructed by mounting equipment, network cables, or any other material. FE Port This port attaches the Aruba 60/61 to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. This port also supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE).

AP Deployment 23 Chapter 3 CHAPTER 3 AP Deployment This chapter covers the following topics: zPhysical mounting of the Aruba 60/61 zConnecting 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. 24 Aruba 60/61Part 0500034 Installation GuideJuly 2004 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: FIGURE3-1 Aruba 60/61 Mounting Options NoteFor 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. NoteOther 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. 12 3 AP Deployment 25 Chapter 3 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: 1Flip open the stand located on the back of the Aruba 60/61: FIGURE3-2 Aruba 60/61Fold-Out Stand 2Place the device on a sturdy table or shelf. 3Orient the antennas. For best performance, swivel the individual antennas (Aruba AP60) or antenna array (Aruba AP61) so that they are oriented vertically. Once mounting is complete, connect the required cables (see instructions on page 28). CAUTION—Do not place the Aruba 60/61 in any place where it could fall on people or equipment. For more secure installation, use one of the optional mounting kits. 26 Aruba 60/61Part 0500034 Installation GuideJuly 2004 Using the Built-In Mounting Slots The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the Aruba 60/61 can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf. To hang the Aruba 60/61 upright using the mounting slots, perform the following steps. 1Install two screws in the wall or shelf as shown in Figure 3-3: FIGURE3-3 Mounting Screw Specifications If attaching the device to drywall, we recommend using appropriate wall anchors (not included) as shown in Figure 3-4 on page 27. CAUTION—Do not use the mounting slots to hang the Aruba 60/61 from the ceiling, sideways, or in any place where it could fall on people or equip- ment. For more secure installation, use one of the optional mounting kits. Screw/Nail Positions (fastened to wall or shelf) 12.7 cm (5.00") 0.12" 0.27" 0.23" 0.05" clearance from surface 3.0 mm 5.8 mm 0.08" 0.15" clearance from surface 2.0 mm 3.8 mm clearance from surface 1.3 mm clearnace from surface 7.0 mm MaximumMinimum Screw/Nail Dimensions AP Deployment 27 Chapter 3 2Align the Aruba 60/61 mounting slots to capture the surface screws. FIGURE3-4 Hanging the Aruba 60/61 on Screws 3Secure the Aruba 60/61, if desired. To prevent the unauthorized removal of the Aruba 60/61 from its installed location, use a Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable (not included). Wrap the security cable around an immovable object, insert the cable’s lock into the Kensington Security Slot on the back of the Aruba 60/61, and turn the key. 4Orient the antennas. For best performance, swivel the individual antennas (Aruba AP60) or antenna array (Aruba AP61) so that they are oriented vertically (see Figure 3-1 on page 24). Once mounting is complete, connect the required cables (see instructions on page 28). Using the Optional Mounting Kits Use the optional mounting kit to attach the Aruba 60/61 to a wall, shelf, or ceiling. For installation, see the Aruba AP60/61 Mounting Kit Installation Notes (P/N 0500037-01) provided with each kit. 28 Aruba 60/61Part 0500034 Installation GuideJuly 2004 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: zSPOE 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 24…
