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 70 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 70 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 70 requires setting the antenna power, which requires professional training. The AP 70 installer must be trained to perform this configuration. 2Aruba70Part 0500044 Installation GuideOctober 2004 Front View FIGURE1-1 Aruba 70 Front View AP 70 Aruba USB ENET 1 ENET 0 POWER PWR ENET LNK A A B/G B/G WR NET NK A B/G A B/G Introduction 3 Chapter 1 Antenna fixtures for Wireless Communications The AP will have one of the following: Aruba AP 70–Two Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connectors for attaching separate antennas (not included). For details, see “Aruba AP 70 Detachable Antennas” on page 26. Built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band, omnidirectional antennas Indicator LEDs During operation, the Aruba 70 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.
