Aruba 41 Wireless Access Point Quick Installation Guide AA Installation instructions for the deployment and installation of your Aruba 41 802.11a/b/g wireless access point. AruArub Provisioning using DHCP with Vendor Specific Options About the Aruba 41 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. 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 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless Access Point • IEEE 802.11a and 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 PACKAGE CONTENTS • 1 x Aruba 41 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. 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 41 Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Aruba 41 such that only authorized network administrators can change these settings. For more information on Access Point configuration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. CAUTION: 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. Goal of Access Point Provisioning BEFORE GETTING STARTED Before installing your Aruba 41 wirless access point, please ensure you have the following: • 1 x Fast Ethernet cable of required length 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 41 - One of the following network services: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS server with an “A” record (see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 41) - DHCP Server with vendor specific options (see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 41) Optional: • Mounting screws (not supplied) Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) 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. Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Controller from which the Aruba access point will obtain its initial software load and configuration. Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three AP installation stages: 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. 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. 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. To ensure ADP is enabled, issue the following commands on the Master Aruba Mobility Controller: (A5000) (config) #adp discovery enable (A5000) (config) #adp igmp-join enable AP Provisioning — Provides each Aruba access point with the initial setting required to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. 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. 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. Connecting Cables & Power Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 41 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 FE Port Specifications 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. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba 41 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 0-2: Aruba 41 10/100 Mbps Ethernet 2 Installing the Aruba 41 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. The Aruba 41 can be mounted on a wall using the mounting slots on the bottom of the unit.

WLAN ADP with Layer 3 Connected Access Points WLAN Planning — Determine how many Aruba access 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. Using the Built-In Mounting Slots ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected Access Points The Aruba AP Setup Process 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 41 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. ADP performs one key task: NOTE: Additionally, the access point software can be uploaded via a standard TFTP server. AA AP Reprovisioning Connecting Required Cables To hang the Aruba 41 upright using the mounting slots, perform the following steps: 1 Install two screws in the wall or shelf. If attaching the device to drywall, we recommend using appropriate wall anchors (not included). 2 Align the Aruba 41 mounting slots to capture the surface screws.
