Aruba 40 Wireless Access Point Quick Installation Guide AA Installation instructions for the deployment and installation of your Aruba 40 802.11b/g wireless access point. Provisioning using DHCP with Vendor Specific Options AruArub A standards compliant DHCP server can be configured to return the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address through Vendor Specific Options (option 43) in the DHCP reply. If the host Mobility Controller’s IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used for uploading the Aruba access point’s software image and configuration. About the Aruba 40 The Aruba 41 is part of a comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works only in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, and provides the following capabilities: • • • • • • Wireless transceiver Protocol-independent networking functionality IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless Access Point IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless Air Monitor Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) Can be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through an Aruba Mobility Controller NOTE: If you have location-specific configurations for your Access Points, you will need to apply this configuration information using AP Reprovisioning. 1 Provisioning the Aruba 40 PACKAGE CONTENTS • 1 x Aruba 40 Wireless Access Point • 1 x Quick Installation Guide (this document) Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them to repack the product in case there is a need to return it. Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Aruba 40 such that only authorized network administrators can change these settings. For more information on Access Point configuration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. Before installing your Aruba 40 wirless access point, please ensure you have the following: • 1 x Fast Ethernet cable of required length Access Points are radio broadcast 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. Provisioning provides the Aruba access point with basic network settings that allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Initial provisioning may be achieved through a number of methods, including: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS - DHCP with Vendor Specific Options • 1 x 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet source (PSE) - Aruba Mobility Controller or Midspan device • 1 x Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the network: - with Layer 2/3 network connectivity your Aruba 40 - One of the following network services: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS server with an “A” record (see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 40) - DHCP Server with vendor specific options (see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 40) Optional: • Mounting screws (not supplied) Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three AP installation stages: AP Provisioning Recommended only in instances where APs require to be pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and final network installation (suchas as Remote Access Point (RAP) deployments), in AP programming mode, AP configuration parameters are defined on the Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web interface, where they can then be uploaded to individual access points as required. Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the better its performance. ADP performs one key task: NOTE: For dimensions, see “Product Specifications”. Allow 5 cm (2”) additional space on the right-hand side for cables and ensure enough space for antenna articulation. Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Controller from which the Aruba access point will obtain its initial software load and configuration. points will be needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed. This can be easily accomplished using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This stage should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and configuration. In, typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are configured and installed prior to access points. AP Provisioning — Provides each Aruba access point with the initial setting required to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 40 FE port Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following: - To a network port on the Mobility Controller, or - To a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af compliant port If your Aruba access point is directly connected to an active Ethernet interface on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no configuration is required. You may proceed to the next step. If your Aruba access point is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host network, then ADP will multicast packets to locate a host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba 40 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 0-2: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the Aruba 40 can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf. To ensure ADP is enabled, issue the following commands on the Master Aruba Mobility Controller: 1 Install two screws in the wall or shelf. If attaching the device to drywall, we recommend using appropriate wall anchors (not included). (A5000) (config) #adp discovery enable (A5000) (config) #adp igmp-join enable 2 Align the Aruba 40 mounting slots to capture the surface screws. An IP helper address on the subnet’s default gateway, mapped to the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address can be also used to facilitate the multicast / broadcast based aspect of this process. 3 Orient the antenna. For best performance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented vertically.

For more secure installation, use one of the optional mounting kits. To hang the Aruba 40 upright using the mounting slots, perform the following steps: RJ-45 Female Pin-Out Direction Input Output Using the Built-In Mounting Slots ADP with Layer 3 Connected Access Points WLAN Planning — Determine how many Aruba access Connecting Cables & Power 2 Installing the Aruba 40 The Aruba 40 can be mounted on a wall using the mounting slots on the bottom of the unit. ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected Access Points The Aruba AP Setup Process The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.X and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. FE Port Specifications This is the simplist method for AP provisioning. ADP allows Aruba access pionts to be connected to the network (or directly to a Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically. NOTE: Additionally, the access point software can be uploaded via a standard TFTP server. AA Once an AP is associated to an Aruba Mobility Controller, it is capable of being Reprovisioned if necessary. AP Reprovisioning is the process by which APs are assigned unique configuration characteristics, for example, location codes. Location codes are important for recalibration and triangulation. For details on AP Reprovisioning, see the ArubaOS User Guide. NOTE: Aruba 40 Access Points are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment’s associated LAN connections.

For AP configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide Once the Aruba access point is associated to its host Mobility Controller, device specific configuration may be applied as required (such as location code). AP Installation — Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its intended place of operation. AP Configuration — The administrator defines the operational behavior for each Aruba access point such as RF characteristics and security features. For specific access point configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. Provisioning using DNS If Layer 3 network connected, the Aruba 40 can use network based DNS to resolve a factory configured default host name “aruba-master” to derive the host Mobility Controller IP address. To enable this, a record for “aruba-master” must be created on the network DNS server.
