Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation Guide 5Summary of the Setup Process Successful setup of an AP-130 series access point consists of five 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.Verifying Pre-Installation ConnectivityBefore you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and connect to the 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 Controller (Mobility Controller Discovery)Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the Controller.Identifying Specific Installation LocationsYou can mount the AP-130 series access point a ceiling rail (using the included adapter) or on a wall (using the wall mount adapter, sold separately). Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s Airwave Virtual RF 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.Unidentified Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference SourcesIdentifying 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.NOTEIt is important that you verify the items listed under Pre-Installation Checklist before you attempt to set up and install an AP-130 series AP.!CAUTIONAccess 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.NOTEAruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-130 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 ArubaOS User Guide.
6Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation GuideRF 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BrickRF 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
