The device works in conjunction with the Aruba 5000 WLAN Switch and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor. As a wireless access point, the Aruba 50 provides transparent, secure, high-speed data communications between wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11b wireless adapters) and the wiredadapters) LAN. IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b wireless and the wired LAN. As a wireless air monitor, a uniquely Aruba feature, the Aruba 50 enhances wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic, detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more.

The device appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving packets between the wired LAN and remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure. Radio Characteristics Power Over Ethernet The 50 supports the IEEE Power Over Ethernet (POE). With as this For Aruba IEEE 802.11a operation, the802.3af Aruba standard 50 uses a for radio modulation technique known feature, the Aruba 50 can accept electrical power from a compatible POE-capable device to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain which it is connected, directly over the FE cable. POE eliminates the need to provide separate (CSMA/CA). operates in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure power outlets inItenvironments that are difficult or undesirable to wire for electricity.

Part 0500007A May 2003 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL Rear Panel ® FIGURE 1-2 Aruba 50 Rear Panel Kensington Security Slot This slot is compatible with a Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable (not included) which can be used to prevent the unauthorized removal of the Aruba 50 from its installed location. To secure the Aruba 50, wrap a security cable around an immovable object, insert the cable’s lock into the Kensington Security Slot, and turn the key. Console Port This port has a 9-pin, female serial connector. It is used primarily to connect a terminal during initial setup of the Aruba 50. See Appendix B for port details. Using the included SPOE adapter, this port can also be connected directly to an FE port on an Aruba WLAN Switch that supports SPOE (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). This direct connection provides extra maintenance options during normal operation. FE Port This port attaches the Aruba 50 to 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segments. The port automatically adjusts MDI/MDX to accept either straight-through or crossover cables. See Appendix B for port details. This port also supports POE (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). When POE is used, a straight-through cable is required. DC Power Socket This socket is used to connect the included AC power adapter. If POE is being used to supply power to the Aruba 50, the power adapter is not necessary. Mounting Slots (on bottom) The keyhole-shaped slots on the bottom of the chassis are used to mount the Aruba 50. Introduction Chapter 1 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL Aruba 50 Installation Guide Part 0500007A May 2003 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL CHAPTER 2 Setup & Installation This chapter covers the following topics: z Requirements for installing the Aruba 50 z Supported network topology options z Initial setup of the Aruba 50 z Physical mounting of the device z Connecting the required cables z Testing the installation Requirements Before you install the Aruba 50, you must have the following: z An operational Aruba WLAN Switch with a valid IP route to the LAN segment to which the access point or air monitor will be connected. z An appropriate physical location for the new access point or air monitor. We recommend an up-to-date site survey to help determine the optimal location for your Aruba 50. See your Aruba AirOS Software Guide for instructions on using the Aruba WLAN Switch’s built-in planning tools. 802.11b compliant wireless compliant Ethernet adapters with z Client devices with 802.11a or 802.11b wireless Ethernet adapters with TCP/IP compatible protocol installed. Setup & Installation Chapter 2 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL z One of the following power sources for the access point or air monitor: An AC power outlet rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz. Power Over Ethernet (POE) capability on the device to which the Aruba 50 is connected (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). NOTE—When installing the Aruba 50 in plenums or air-handling spaces, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the device must be powered using POE, and not the included AC power adapter. Select a Network Topology The Aruba 50 can be installed in your network using the following topologies: FIGURE 2-1 Aruba 50 Topology Options Aruba 50 Installation Guide Part 0500007A May 2003 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL Direct Serial & Power Over Ethernet (SPOE) to the Aruba WLAN Switch (recommended) In this topology, both the console and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) ports on the Aruba 50 are connected to the included SPOE adapter. An 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable connects the adapter directly to the Aruba WLAN Switch with no intervening hubs, routers, or other network equipment. The network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch must include optional SPOE capability (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). This topology provides the following features: z 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity z Electrical power through the FE cable z Serial console connectivity through the FE cable z Convenient initial setup through the Aruba WLAN Switch management interface either before or after physical installation of the Aruba 50 z Extra console maintenance options during normal operation POE connection through the LAN In this topology, the Aruba 50 is connected to the LAN through a hub or switch that is POE compatible (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). An 8- or 4-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable is required. Initial setup requires a local serial console. This topology provides the following features: z 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity (depending on the connecting port) z Electrical power through the FE cable z Versatile placement of the Aruba WLAN Switch and Aruba 50s within the network Connection to a non-POE network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch or other network device In this topology, the Aruba 50 is connected to the Aruba WLAN Switch either directly or through the LAN. An 8- or 4-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through or crossover FE cable may be used. Initial setup requires a local serial console. Electrical power is supplied using the included AC power adapter. This topology provides the following features: z 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity (depending on the connecting port) z Versatile placement of the Aruba WLAN Switch and Aruba 50s within the network Setup & Installation Chapter 2 4/3/03 Accton Draft—CONFIDENTIAL Perform Initial Setup The Aruba 50 requires some initial configuration before it will operate. The method used for connecting to the Aruba 50 for initial setup depends on your intended network topology (see Figure 2-1 on page 8). Direct SPOE to the Aruba WLAN Switch Use this procedure when connecting the Aruba 50 directly to an SPOE-compatible network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch (see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 2). SPOE provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, serial connection, and power over one cable. NOTE—If connecting the Aruba 50 through the LAN or to a non-SPOE network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch, see the instructions on page 11. Connect the included SPOE adapter to the Aruba 50. Connect the adapter’s 9-pin serial connector to the Console port on the back of the Aruba 50. Connect the adapter’s male RJ-45 plug to the FE port on the back of the Aruba 50. Connect the Aruba 50 to the Aruba WLAN Switch. The connection between the Aruba 50 and the Aruba WLAN Switch requires an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with RJ-45 connectors (see Appendix B for port specifications). Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the RJ-45 socket on the SPOE adapter that was attached to the Aruba 50 in the previous step. Connect the other end of the FE cable directly to an available SPOE network port on the Aruba WLAN Switch. NOTE—The Aruba 50 must be connected to the Aruba WLAN Switch without any intervening hubs, routers, or other networking equipment. Telnet to the Aruba WLAN Switch Serial-Over-Ethernet (SOE) interface. Run the Telnet client on your management workstation and connect to theAruba WLAN Switch management IP address using logical port 2300. The connection command may vary depending on the specific software used, but commonly appears as follows: telnet 2300 10 Aruba 50 Installation Guide Part 0500007A May 2003
