DHCP with Vendor Specific Options
A standards compliant DHCP server can be confi gured to return
the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address through Vendor
Specifi c Options (option 43) in the DHCP reply. If the host Mobil-
ity Controller’s IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used to
upload the Aruba AP’s software image and confi guration.
NOTE: If you have location-specifi c confi gurations for your APs, you need to apply this
confi guration information using AP Provisioning.
Next Steps
If you wish to fully confi gure and provision your Aruba AP before
installing it at its fi nal desired location, before installing it proceed
to step 3, “AP Provisioning”.
Installing the Aruba 65
Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended
coverage area. The service location should be free from obstruc-
tions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the higher you
place an AP or AM, the better its performance.
The Aruba 65 can be mounted on a ceiling, wall or cubicle or
stood upright on a desk stand.
NOTE: For dimensions, see “Product Specifi cations”. Allow for additional space to
accommodate antenna articulation.
Desktop Placement
The preinstalled desk stand allows you to place the AP vertically
on a desk or table top.
You can also hang the AP using the built-in mounting slots or
attach the AP to a standard non-recessed 15/16” ceiling tile rail
using the built-in ceiling tile rail slots, but you must fi rst detach
the desk stand. To detach the desk stand:
1. On the rear of AP, press down the tab on the lower left corner
that secures the desk stand to the device.
2. Twist the stand counter-clock-
wise to detach it from the AP (see
Figure 1)
Using the Built-In Mounting Slots
The keyhole-shaped slots on the
back of the AP 65 can be used
to attach the device upright to an
indoor wall or shelf
To hang the AP upright using the
mounting slots, perform the follow-
ing steps:
1. Install two screws in the wall or
shelf. If attaching the device to dry-
wall, We recommend using appro-
priate wall anchors (not included).
2. Align the AP mounting slots to
capture the surface screws (see
Figure 2)
3. Orient the antenna. For best performance, swivel the antenna
so that it is oriented vertically
Ceiling Mount Using the Built-In Ceiling Tile Rail Slots
The snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the Aruba 65 can be used
to securely attach the device directly to a 15/16” wide, standard
ceiling tile rail.
CAUTION: Ensure secure fi t of the Aruba 65 to the tile rail or mounting points
when hanging the device from the ceiling, as poor installation could cause it to
fall on people or equipment.

BEFORE STARTING
Before installing your Aruba 65 Wireless Access Point,
please ensure you have the following:
• 1 x Fast Ethernet CAT5 UTP cable of required length
• 1 x 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet source
(POE) - Aruba Mobility Controller or midspan device, or
• 1 x Aruba AP65 AC adapter kit (sold separately)
• 1 x Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the
network:
- with Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your Aruba 65
- One of the following network services:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS server with an “A” record
- DHCP Server with vendor specifi c options
(see Mobility Controller Discovery)
Optional:
• Aruba AP-65 secure wall mounting kit
Mobility Controller Discovery
Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements,
has designed the Aruba 65 such that only authorized network
administrators can change the settings. For more information on
AP confi guration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.
About AP - Mobility Controller Discovery
Aruba APs are factory confi gured with basic network settings. This
enables them (when connected to the network and powered on)
to automatically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility
Controller with no manual intervention required. The methods of
automatic discovery and association include:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS
- DHCP with Vendor Specifi c Options
Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
This is the simplest method for AP to Mobility Controller discovery
and association. ADP allows Aruba APs to be connected to the net-
work (or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into
operation automatically.
ADP performs a single key task:
Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Control-
ler from which the Aruba AP will acquire its initial software
confi guration.
NOTE: Additionally, the AP software can also be uploaded via a standard TFTP server.
ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected APs
If your Aruba AP is directly connected to an active Ethernet inter-
face on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no confi guration is
required. You may proceed to the next step.
ADP with Layer 3 Connected APs
If your Aruba AP is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba
Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host
network, then ADP multicasts 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:
(A6000) (confi g) #adp discovery enable
(A6000) (confi g) #adp igmp-join enable
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.
DNS
If the Aruba 65 is Layer 3 network connected, it can use network
based DNS to resolve a factory confi gured default host name
“aruba-master” to derive the host Mobility Controller’s IP address.
To enable this, a record for “aruba-master” must be created on the
network DNS server.
CAUTION:
Access Points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
confi guration and operation of Access Points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifi cally, Access Points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the Access Point
will be used.
Part 0510260-01
Service to all Aruba Networks equipment should be
performed by trained service personnel only.
To suspend the Aruba 65 from the ceiling using the integrat-
ed 15 /16” ceiling tile rail slots, perform the following steps:
Connecting Required Cables
The AP 65’s integrated 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (FE) port is
used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-
pair) Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Mobility
Controller. Use a 4 or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-
through FE cable, however, the AP 65 FE port supports MDI/
MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or cross-
over 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.
NOTE: Aruba 65 APs are intended only for installation in Environment A as defi ned
in IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be con-
tained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment’s associ-
ated LAN connections.
NOTE: When installed in an air-handling space, such as above suspended ceiling
(plenum), the unit is required to be powered via PoE only. Additional cabling such
as Fast Ethernet (FE) cables installed in such spaces should be suitable under NEC
Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces
with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP.
Connecting Cables & Power
1 Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba
65 FE port.
2 Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the
following:
- a network port on an Aruba Mobility Controller, or
- a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af
compliant port, or
- (if AC powering the device) an Ethernet switch
with Layer 2/3 network connectivity to an Aruba
Mobility Controller, while powering the AP 65 using
the optional AC power adapter (use only approved
Aruba Wireless Networks adapter UL Listed,
marked “LPS” or “NEC” Class 2 and rated 5.0VDC,
3.0A output).
FE Port Specifi cations
The 10/100 Mbps FE port is located on the rear of the Aruba
65 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are
shown in Figure 4:

The Aruba AP Setup Process
Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a
planning stage and three installation steps:
WLAN Planning
Determine how many Aruba APs are needed for your wire-
less 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 Mobil-
ity Controller installation and confi guration. In typical Aruba
installations, the mobility controllers are confi gured and
installed before APs.
Mobility Controller Discovery — Aruba APs are factory
confi gured with initial settings that enable them to auto-
matically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility
Controller. Once an Aruba AP associates to its host Mobil-
ity controller, it will receive its AP confi guration and may
be provisioned later with additional services and security
parameters.
AP Installation — Once Mobility Controller association
has been reliably established, the AP can be physically
installed at its intended permanent place of operation.
AP Provisioning — The administrator defi nes the opera-
tional behavior for each Aruba AP such as RF character-
istics, security features and location codes. For specifi c
AP confi guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User
Guide.

Verifying Successful Installation
The integrated LEDs on the AP 65 may be used at this point to
verify the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully.
LED status is as follows:
Provisioning the Aruba 65
Once an AP associates to a host Aruba Mobility Controller and
receives its basic confi guration, it may be provisioned.
AP Provisioning is the process by which APs are assigned
advanced or AP unique confi guration parameters, for example
location codes, security credentials, or Remote AP credentials.
Location codes are important for RF calibration and triangula-
tion.
AP Provisioning is not mandatory for basic wireless deploy-
ment however it is recommended. It is mandatory for situa-
tions where APs are required to be pre-staged or provisioned
in advance of shipment and fi nal network installation, such as
Remote AP (RAP) deployments.
Aruba APs may be provisioned in bulk in AP programming
mode, where confi guration parameters are defi ned on the
Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web
interface, and then uploaded to APs in batches.
For details on AP confi guration and provisioning, see the Aru-
baOS User Guide.
