Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide 0510159-02 September 2006 Introduction Chapter 1 Back View This section describes the components on the back of the AP 70 (Figure 1-2). FIGURE 1-2 Aruba AP 70 Back View Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide Introduction Chapter 1 Mounting Slots The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the chassis are used for mounting the Aruba AP 70. Air Vents These vents promote proper air circulation for cooling the device. Do not allow these vents to be obstructed by mounting equipment, network cables, or any other material. The Aruba AP Deployment Process Deploying an Aruba AP typically consists of four stages: 1. Run Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately) to determine how many Aruba APs are needed and where they will be installed. 2. Ensure that the APs can locate the Mobility Controller when they are installed and connected to the network. This is covered in Chapter 2, “AP Installation”. 3. Install the APs by connecting the AP to an Ethernet port and, optionally, to a power source. This is covered in Chapter 2, “AP Installation”. 4. On the Mobility Controller, provision the APs. For AP configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide 0510159-02 September 2006 2 AP Installation This chapter explains how to enable APs to connect to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and how to install and connect the Aruba AP 70. Enabling APs to Connect to the Mobility Controller Before you install APs in a network environment, you must ensure that the APs will be able to locate and connect to the Mobility Controller when powered on. Specifically, you need to ensure the following: When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address APs are able to locate the Mobility Controller NOTE: Aruba APs use Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) the first time they boot to obtain their software image and configuration from the Mobility Controller. After the initial boot, the APs use FTP to obtain software images and configurations from the Mobility Controller. Enable APs to Obtain IP Addresses Each Aruba AP requires a unique IP address on a subnetwork that has connectivity to a Mobility Controller. Aruba recommends using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to provide IP addresses for APs; the DHCP server can be an existing network server or an Aruba Mobility Controller configured as a DHCP server. You can use an existing DHCP server in the same subnetwork as the AP to provide the AP with its IP information. You can also configure a device in the same subnetwork to act as a relay agent for a DHCP server on a different subnetwork. Refer to the vendor documentation for the DHCP Server or relay agent for information. If an AP is on the same subnetwork as the master Mobility Controller, you can configure the Mobility Controller as a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the AP. The Mobility Controller must be the only DHCP server for this subnetwork. See the ArubaOS User Guide for information on how to enable DHCP server capability on a Mobility Controller: Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide AP Installation Chapter 2 Locate the Mobility Controller An Aruba AP can discover the IP address of the Mobility Controller in one of the following ways: From a DNS server From a DHCP server Using the Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) From a DNS Server Aruba APs are factory-configured to use the host name aruba-master for the Mobility Controller. For the DNS server to resolve this host name to the IP address of the Mobility Controller, you must configure an entry on the DNS server for the name aruba-master. For information on how to configure a host name entry on the DNS server, refer to the vendor documentation for your server. NOTE: Aruba recommends using a DNS server to provide APs with the IP address of the master Mobility Controller because it involves minimal changes to the network and provides the greatest flexibility in the placement of APs. From a DHCP Server You can configure a DHCP server to provide the Mobility Controller’s IP address. You need to configure the DHCP server to send the Mobility Controller’s IP address using the DHCP vendor-specific attribute option 43. Aruba APs identify themselves with a vendor class identifier set to ArubaAP in their DHCP request. When the DHCP server responds to the request, it will send the controller’s IP address as the value of option 43. For more information on how to configure vendor-specific information on a DHCP server, see the ArubaOS User Guide or refer to the vendor documentation for your server. Using the Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) ADP is enabled by default on all Aruba APs and Mobility Controllers. To use ADP, all Aruba APs and Mobility Controllers must be connected to the same Layer-2 network. If the devices are on different networks, a Layer-3 compatible discovery mechanism, such as DNS, DHCP, or IGMP forwarding, must be used instead. With ADP, APs send out periodic multicast and broadcast queries to locate the Mobility Controller. You may need to perform additional network configuration, depending on whether the APs are in the same broadcast domain as the Mobility Controller: If the APs are in the same broadcast domain as the Mobility Controller, the controller automatically responds to the APs’ queries with its IP address. Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide 0510159-02 September 2006 AP Installation Chapter 2 If the APs are not in the same broadcast domain as the Mobility Controller, you need to enable multicast on the network (ADP multicast queries are sent to the IP multicast group address 224.0.82.11) for the controller to respond to the APs’ queries. You also need to make sure that all routers are configured to listen for Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) join requests from the Mobility Controller and can route these multicast packets. See the ArubaOS User Guide for more information about enabling ADP on the Mobility Controller. Mounting the Aruba AP 70 Mount the Aruba AP 70 at its intended service location. The Aruba AP 70 Access Points are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. If necessary, use the Aruba RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum locations for your access points and air monitors. 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. Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide AP Installation Chapter 2 The Aruba AP 70 can be mounted on a wall or suspended from above (not shown) using one of the optional mounting kits (dimensions vary) in the following ways: FIGURE 2-1 NOTE: Aruba AP 70 Mounting Options For dimensions, see Appendix 4, “Product Specifications”.

All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. Selecting an FE Cable The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate FE cable depends on the features required of the FE port: SPOE When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet (SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable. The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the Aruba 800 support SPOE. POE If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable. Network Only If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable. The ENET0 port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). When the Aruba AP 70 is installed in an air-handling space, such as above suspended ceilings, as described in National Electrical Code (2002) Article 300.22(C), and Canadian Electrical Code, Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100, Part 1, CSA C22.1, POE is required. Also, any FE cable 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. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices. See Appendix 3, “Port Specifications” for port and cable details.

When connecting indirectly, use a straight-through FE coupler to attach the “To AP” connector to the FE cable leading directly to the AP’s FE port with no intervening hubs, routers, or other network equipment. The cable must be 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with a maximum length of 100 meters (325 feet). The Aruba AP 70 and serial breakout adapter are plenum rated. When is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), any connecting FE cable 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. Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices. “To Network” Specifications The RJ-45 connector labeled “To Network” attaches to an FE LAN segment. This connection is optional unless IEEE 802.11af Power Over Ethernet (POE) is used to power the AP during manual provisioning. A straight-through FE coupler may be used to attach the “To Network” connector to a LAN FE cable. The appropriate cable depends on the level of connectivity required of the FE port. If the connecting device supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the Aruba 800 support SPOE. Otherwise, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, FE cable with male RJ-45 connectors. The ENET0 port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.

Protocol-independent networking functionality Supports IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP Supports IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) Seamless connectivity to wired LANs augment existing networks quickly and easily Can be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through the Mobility Controller to take advantage of network changes and security improvements Ethernet Compatibility The Aruba AP 70 attaches to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) LAN segments that utilize 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) wiring. The device appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving packets between the wired LAN and remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure. Radio Characteristics The Aruba AP 70 can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP, and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AM: 802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity 802.11a operation uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 5 Ghz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to 54 Megabits per second (Mbps). 802.11b provides an alternative to wired LANs that can dramatically cut costs 802.11b operation uses the IEEE 802.11 High-Rate Direct Sequence (HRDS) specification, and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 2.4 Ghz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 11 Mbps. 802.11g provides a high data rate and is backwards compatible with 802.11b. Aruba AP 70 Installation Guide 23 Product Specifications Appendix B 802.11g operation uses ODFM and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 2.4 Ghz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 54 Mbps. Power Over Ethernet The Aruba AP 70 supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power Over Ethernet (POE). With this feature, the Aruba AP 70 can accept electrical power from a compatible POE-capable device (such as the Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), Aruba 2400, or Aruba 800) directly over the FE cable. POE eliminates the need to provide separate power outlets in environments that are difficult or undesirable to wire for electricity. The Aruba AP 70 also supports “inline” and “midspan” POE devices for normal operation. Inline power is POE that is integrated into FE ports and provides POE directly to devices. Non-POE ports can have POE added by means of a mid-span device that provides POE. The non-POE port is connected to a mid-span POE port, and this mid-span port is connected to the device that requires POE.
