4 Starting Up
4.1 Power Up
The J1 power cable assembly, Telefonix PDT P/N E54-331, and DB-9 loop-back connector, Telefonix PDT
P/N E54-345, are required to be connected to the Cabin ACe-2 to turn on when power is applied.
WARNING!
The specified voltage input range is 97 to 134 VAC, 60 – 800 Hz, singlephase power.
DO NOT connect to 220 VAC.
The power source must supply a minimum of 20W.
The power source must be switched off via AC power disconnect,
Telefonix PDTP/N E54-319, and must be easily accessible.
Ambient temperature must be above -20 °C for the CWAP to turn on.
Power is not switched internally and the unit will boot up as soon as
power is applied.
Properly connect Telefonix PDT P/N E54-331 to the CWAP J1 connector. The power source must be
switched off via AC Power disconnect, Telefonix PDT P/N E54-319, to make sure that no voltage is present
at the terminal during the connecting procedure. Plug the DB-9 loopback connector, Telefonix PDT P/N
E54-345, to the mating connector of J1, E54-331 cable assembly.
Connect the other end of the power cord to the power source (not provided). Switch on the power source
via the AC power disconnect.
4.2 Startup process
The CWAP needs two IP addresses for network connectivity, one for the access point and one for the
Signal Interface Board (SIB). The four discrete IP strapping pins in the J3 connector are set to HIGH (+5v
DC) by pull up resistors, and can be grounded to set static IP addresses, by default the CWAP is configured
as a DHCP client, and will request two IP address from the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server
responds to the request then auto configuration will assign an address to the AP on the 169.254.0.0
255.255.0.0 network (the SIB will continue to send DHCP requests).
Note: The IP strapping bits are read by the CWAP at power up and will over-write any static IP assignment
made in the Aruba GUI. This behavior persists even when interface J3 is not connected.

4.2.1
4.2.1.1
Boot Up
SIB Boot Up
The SIB runs both the bootloader and application firmware components upon powering on the unit. There
is a two (2) second delay before the firmware loads to allow the bootloader to check for the presence of a
SIB firmware upgrade.
During startup, the firmware performs a Power On Self-Test (POST), queries the discrete pins, and reads
the SIB configuration and manufacturing data from an internal EEPROM. After the boot process completes
there is a five (5) second window in which you may be asked to enter SIB command mode by your technical
service representative. The console output of the SIB boot process is shown in Figure 3, the [Boot
Complete] prompt indicates the beginning of the five (5) second delay.
Figure 3: Example Console Output of the SIB Boot Process

4.2.1.2
Access Point (AP) Boot
Following SIB boot, the firmware boots the Aruba AP. During startup, the AP provides an auto-boot
countdown prompt that allows you to interrupt the normal startup process and access apboot mode. The
SIB firmware uses this mode to set the IP address configuration as defined by the IP strapping pins, then
starts a ten (10) second inactivity counter to allow user access to apboot.
The console output of the AP boot process is shown in Figure 4, the apboot> prompt indicates the
beginning of the ten (10) second counter.

The IAP CLI becomes available after completion of the startup process, and requires administrator
credentials to start a session. The default credentials are:
User: admin
Password: admin
After login, the privileged command mode is enabled which provides access to show, clear, ping,
traceroute, and commit commands. The configuration commands are available in the configuration
(config) mode. To move from privileged mode to the configuration mode, enter the following command at
the command prompt:
(Cabin Ace) # configure terminal
The configure terminal command allows you to enter the basic configuration mode and the command
prompt is displayed as follows:
(Cabin Ace) (config) #
Some commands in configuration mode allow you to enter into a sub-mode to configure the commands
specific to that mode. When you are in a configuration sub-mode, the command prompt changes to indicate
the current sub-mode.
You can exit a sub-command mode and return to the basic configuration mode or the privileged Exec
(enable) mode at any time by executing the exit or end command.
You can use the question mark (?) to view the commands available for your current mode.
Refer to the Aruba Instant 6.4.4.4-4.2.3.0 CLI Reference Guide, for additional information on the IAP CLI.

4.5 Connecting using Web-based GUI
You can connect to the web-based GUI by entering the Aruba AP’s IP address in a web browser, and
entering the Username and Password when prompted as shown below in Figure 5. If the IP strapping pins
have not been set, you can use the show ip interface CLI command to display the IP address that was
assigned by your DHCP server
Note: The following subsections refer to the [Aruba] IAP, or AP which shall be used interchangeably with
the CWAP. The sections are summarized from Aruba Instant documentation and training materials. For
additional information refer to the Aruba Instant 6.4.4.4-4.2.3.0 User Guide.
Figure 5: Aruba Instant GUI Login Prompt
You may see a Certificate Error message, this is because the certificates issued to the AP do not match
the IP address used to connect to the GUI. It is recommended that you add a certificate issued by your
network, to ensure secure administrative communication.
The main GUI page is broken up into the following six sections. These sections are identified below in

4.6 Virtual Controller Architecture
The Aruba IAPs use a Virtual Controller architecture for ease of deployment and centralized wireless
network management. IAPs in the same subnet will form a cluster, in each cluster a virtual controller is
elected. Normally the first IAP in the subnet will become the virtual controller. If the IAP running the virtual
controller should fail, then another IAP will elect itself as the virtual controller.
All configuration is done on the virtual controller and pushed down to all the IAPs in the cluster. All the IAPs
in the cluster will advertise the same SSIDs. Zones can be created within a cluster to specify specific SSIDs
on specific IAPs.
Entering the IP address of any access point in the cluster will redirect you to the virtual controller. You can
set the name of the virtual controller along with the virtual controller static address from the General tab of
the System dialog box, as show in Figure 8 below. The name and the IP address of the virtual controller
will always be static information no matter which IAP becomes the virtual controller.

4.6.1
IAP Configuration
On the main GUI page you can select one of the IAPs and then select edit. You should give each of your
IAPs a relevant name for easy identification. You can also select which IAP will be the preferred master.
Whichever IAP is configured as the preferred master will also become the virtual controller. If you configure
two IAPs as the preferred master then they will split the network, this is not recommended.

4.7 WLAN Setup
There are four steps to creating an SSID.
1. Select the type of SSID you want to create. The Employee and Voice selections will lead you to
802.1X and PSK authentication. The Guest option will lead you to Captive Portal authentication.
2. Configure the Vlan and client IP assignment.
3. The security stage depends on your wireless LAN setting selections. Enterprise will give you 802.1x
selections, personal will give you PSK or WEP selections. If you select guest you will receive
captive portal options.
4. The last stage is the settings for the firewall with the user rights.
These stages are shown below in Figure 10.
Figure 10: The Four Stages to Creating an SSID
Step 1
You create SSIDs using the WLAN Wizard. You launch the WLAN Wizard by selecting New from the
Networks section on the main GUI page. This will bring up the WLAN Settings tab of the New WLAN dialog
box. The WLAN Settings tab is where you select the type of SSID you want to create, and name the SSID,
as shown below in Figure 11.

Step 2
The VLAN Tab is where you configure the VLAN assignment, and client IP assignment. There available
VLAN and client IP assignment options are shown below in Figure 12.
Figure 12: The VLAN Tab of the New WLAN Dialog Box
The two client IP assignment options are virtual controller Managed, and Network assigned.
Virtual controller managed
The client will associate and authenticate to the access point. The access point will act as a relay agent to
the virtual controller, and the virtual controller will provide and act as the DHCP server.
•
•
The access points will be providing DHCP for any wireless clients that connect to this SSID.
The SSID and IAPs will source NAT all client traffic onto the wire.
Network assigned
The client will associate and authenticate to the access point. The access points will act as a bridge and
pass the traffic without modifying the original payload. DHCP will be provided by the DHCP server on the
LAN. The APs will bridge the client traffic onto the wire without manipulating, or modifying the packets.

Step 3
The Security tab is where you set the security level. There are three levels, Open, Personal, and Enterprise.
Selecting the Enterprise level allows you to configure an external RADIUS authentication server, as show
below in Figure 13.
Figure 13: Configuring an External RADIUS Server from the Security Tab of the New WLAN Dialog Box
Step 4
The Access tab is where you configure the firewall rules and user rights. The Access tab allows you to
create Network-Based rules and Role-Based rules. You also have the option to leave the SSID
Unrestricted. Figure 14 shows an example of creating a rule that denies all DNS traffic except to the DNS
server with the IP address of 192.168.10.1.

•
Bottom (G1) =
Left (G2) =
Right (G3) =
Top (G4) =
Front (G5) =
Rear (G6) =
0.00”
1.00”
1.00”
1.00”
3.00”
1.00”
Installations violating the above air gap spacing must be approved by Telefonix PDT engineering.
There are no minimum installation distances between CWAPs. The maximum distance shall be determined
by aircraft type and configuration and content, e.g. throughput considerations.
Radiation Hazard: Maintain a safe distance when in operation. The device should be installed to provide a
minimum distance of 27cm to nearby persons while in operation. Remove power if working within these
distances.
