Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation Guide
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-130 series AP.
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.
CAUTION
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.
Aruba 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.
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 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 Locations
You 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 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.
Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation Guide
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
Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation Guide
Installing the AP
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only.
NOTE
Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The AP130 series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails.
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
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to
the tabs (see Figure 3).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 3).
