About the Aruba AP-105 Access Points
Figure 3 AP-105 Rear
Power
Connector
The Aruba AP-105 wireless access point supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for
high-performance WLAN. This access point uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multipleout) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver highperformance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously
supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-105 access point works
only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.

NOTE
It is important that you verify the items listed under AP Pre-Installation
Checklist before you attempt to set up and install an AP-105.
Successful setup of an AP-105 access point consists of five tasks, which must be
performed in this order:
1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.
CONSOLE
2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
3. Install each AP.

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.
Use the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management.
NOTE
Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has
designed the AP-105 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 ArubaOS User
Guide.
RF interference sources include:
Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)
Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms
Installing the AP
NOTE
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
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. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the
AP is such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a predrilled hole in the mounting surface.
2. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches
(4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends
using appropriate wall anchors (not included).
3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the
unit into place (see Figure 4).
Ethernet Port
AP-105 is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-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.
Figure 1 AP-105
Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure
that APs are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.

The Aruba AP-105 access point provides the following capabilities:
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 comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be
used.

If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
can be used to power the AP-105.
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before You Begin
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:
EU Statement:
Lower power radio LAN product operating in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Please refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for details on restrictions.

For information about the AP-105’s LED behavior, see Table 1 on page 2.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC
RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 13.78
7.87 inches (35
20 cm) between the
radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this
device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful
interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
You can mount the AP-105 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.
Before installing your AP-105 access point, be sure that you have the following:
RF absorbers include:
CAT5 UTP cable of required length
One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source
Supports full functionality for AP-105
The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or
midspan PSE device
Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:
Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point
One of the following network services:
Using the Integrated Ceiling Tile Rail Slots
The snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the AP can be used to securely attach the
device directly to a 15/16" wide, standard ceiling tile rail.
CAUTION
Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the
device from the ceiling; poor installation could cause it to fall onto people
or equipment.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near
where the AP will be placed.
2. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the
AP.
Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at
approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure
that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.

AP Pre-Installation Checklist
The AP-105 is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the various
components of the AP.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
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.

FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the
United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of
the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination
of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).

LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor,
Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long.
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has an RJ45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in Figure 6.
