AP-92 and AP-93 Wireless Access PointInstallation GuideAbout the Aruba AP-92/AP-93The Aruba AP-92 and AP-93 are single-radio, dual-band wireless access points that support the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-92 and AP-93 access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.The Aruba AP-92/AP-93 access point provides the following capabilities:zWireless transceiverzProtocol-independent networking functionalityzIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access pointzIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitorzCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE zCentral management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba ControllerPackage ContentszAP-92 or AP-93 access pointzInstallation GuideFigure 1 AP-92/AP-93 (AP-92 Shown)AP-92/AP-93 Hardware OverviewFigure 2 Front (AP-92 Shown)LEDszPWR: Indicates whether or not the AP-92/AP-93 is powered-onzENET: Indicates the status of the AP-92/AP-93’s Ethernet portz11A/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radioz11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radioFor information about the AP-92/AP-93’s LED behavior, see Table 1.Figure 3 Rear (AP-92 Shown)Console PortUse the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management.Ethernet PortAP-92/AP-93 is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.DC Power SocketIf PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the AP-92/AP-93. External Antenna ConnectorsThe AP-92 is designed for use with external antennas. The AP-93 is equipped with internal antennas.Before You BeginPre-Installation Network RequirementsAfter WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the Aruba controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Aruba APs are deployed.For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your controller.AP Pre-Installation ChecklistBefore installing your AP-92/AP-93 access point, be sure that you have the following:zCAT5 UTP cable of required lengthzOne of the following power sources:IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourceAruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)zAruba Controller provisioned on the network:Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access pointOne of the following network services:zAruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)zDNS server with an “A” recordzDHCP Server with vendor-specific optionsSummary of the Setup ProcessSuccessful setup of an AP-92/AP-93 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 are able to locate and connect to the controller after power on. Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:zWhen connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP addresszAPs are able to locate the controller Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.Identifying Specific Installation LocationsYou can mount the AP-92/AP-93 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s RF Plan 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.Identifying 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.RF absorbers include:zCement/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.zNatural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and treeszBrickRF reflectors include:zMetal 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.zDo 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:zMicrowave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)zCordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch roomsInstalling the APUsing the Integrated Wall-Mounting SlotsThe keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf. When you choose the mounting location, allow additional space at the right of the unit for cables.1. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the AP is such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre-drilled hole in the mounting surface.2. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches (4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included).3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the unit into place (see Figure 4).Figure 4 Installing the AP-92/AP-93 Access Point on a WallUsing the Integrated Ceiling Tile Rail SlotsThe snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the AP can be used to securely attach the device directly to a 15/16" wide, standard ceiling tile rail.1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed.2. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.Figure 5 Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots3. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail.NOTEInform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.AP-92_005AP-92_001PWRENET11A/N11B/G/N!CAUTIONFCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of the FCC grant of equipment authorization.
