Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point Installation Guide About the Aruba AP-120 Series Access Points The Aruba AP-120 series of wireless access points support the imminent IEEE 802.11n (currently draft 2.0) standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, pre-802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-120 series access points are available in versions with single or dual radios and with integrated antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that support detachable antennas. The AP-120 series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller. The Aruba AP-120 series access points provide the following capabilities: Wireless transceiver Protocol-independent networking functionality IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless access point IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless air monitor Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE as well as high power over Ethernet pre-standards (PoE + / 802.3at) Central management configuration, and upgrades through an Aruba Mobility Controller Figure 1 AP-120 Series Access Points ap12_001 AP-120/124 AP-121/125 (3 x RP-SMA interfaces for detachable antennas) (3 x integrated dual-band antennas) Package Contents AP-120 series access point Installation guide (this document) NOTE 0510457-02 | December 2007 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. Additional mounting kits for use with the AP-120 series access points are sold separately. Contact your Aruba sales representative for details. NOTE Before You Begin WLAN Planning Determine how many Aruba APs are needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed. You can easily accomplish this planning using Arubaâs automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and configuration. In typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are configured and installed before the APs. For WLAN planning assistance, refer to the Indoor Access Points: Site Survey and Planning PreDeployment Guide and the RF Plan Installation and User Guide. Pre-Installation Network Requirements After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the Aruba Mobility Controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Aruba Access Points are deployed. For initial setup of the Mobility Controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your controller. Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your AP-120 series access point, be sure that you have the following: For the AP-120/AP-124: External antennas as specified in the network deployment plan 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-120/AP-121; supports reduced functionality for AP-124/AP-125  IEEE Power Over Ethernet + (PoE+) source output at 56Volts @ 350mA  The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE device  Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the network:  Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point  One of the following network services: Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) DNS server with an âAâ record DHCP Server with vendor-specific options Summary of the Setup Process NOTE It is important that you verify the items listed under Pre-Installation Checklist before you attempt to set up and install an AP-120 series AP. Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point | Installation Guide Successful setup of an AP-120 series access point consists of four 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. Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-120 series 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 Aruba OS User Guide. NOTE 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. CAUTION Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and connect to the Mobility Controller when powered on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions: When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address APs are able to locate the Mobility Controller (Mobility Controller Discovery) Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the Mobility Controller. Identifying Specific Installation Locations CAUTION 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 inches (35 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-120 series access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Arubaâs 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. Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point | Installation Guide Unidentified 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: Cement/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. Natural Items: Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees Brick RF reflectors include: Metal 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 Do 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: Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones) Lunch rooms and call centers with cordless headsets Installing the AP Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only. NOTE 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. NOTE For product dimensions, see Product Specifications in this guide. Allow 2 inches (5 cm) of additional space at the right side of the installed unit for cables, and make sure enough space is available for antenna articulation. 1. 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). 2. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the unit into place (see Figure 2). Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point | Installation Guide Figure 2 Installing the AP-120 series Access Point on a Wall 3. On the AP-121 or AP-125, orient the antennas. For best performance, swivel the antennas so that they are oriented vertically, preferably in the same plane, parallel to the wall (see Figure 3). Figure 3 Antenna Orientation on a Wall-Mounted AP-121/AP-125 On the AP-120 or AP-124, install the external antennas according to the manufacturerâs instructions, and connect the antennas to the antenna interfaces on the AP (see Figure 4). Figure 4 Antenna Interfaces on the AP-120/AP-124 ap 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/ 16â wide, standard ceiling tile rail. Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it to fall onto people or equipment. CAUTION Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point | Installation Guide 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. 3. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile. Figure 5 Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots ap1 4. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail. 5. On the AP-121 or AP-125, orient the antennas. For best results, rotate the antennas so that they are vertical (perpendicular to the body of the AP) (see Figure 6). Figure 6 Antenna Orientation on a Ceiling-Mounted AP-121/AP-125 On the AP-120 or AP-124, install the external antennas according to the manufacturerâs instructions, and connect the antennas to the antenna interfaces on the AP (see Figure 4). Connecting Required Cables Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. Aruba AP-120 Series Indoor Access Point | Installation Guide Ethernet Ports The RJ45 Ethernet ports (ENET0 and ENET1) support 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX connections. Use these ports to connect the AP to a twisted pair Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long. Aruba 12x APs are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af, Power over Ethernet.
