Aruba AP-93H Wireless Access PointInstallation Guide The Aruba AP-93H are single-radio, dual-band wireless access point that supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. This access point uses 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-93H access point works only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.The Aruba AP-93H access point provides the following capabilities:Wireless transceiverProtocol-independent networking functionalityIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access pointIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitorCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE Central management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba ControllerPackage ContentsAP-93H Access PointAP-93H Mounting Bracket1x Security Screw2x Cat5e Ethernet cable (length 0.1m)Installation GuideAP-93H Hardware OverviewFigure 1 TopLEDsPWR: Indicates whether or not the AP-93H is powered-onENET 0: Indicates the status of ENET 011A/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radioFor information about the AP-93H’s LED behavior, see Table 1.Figure 2 Rear Serial Console PortThe serial console port (Console) allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in Figure 3. Connect this port directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.Figure 3 Serial Port Pin-OutFigure 4 Bottom Ethernet PortsAP-93H is equipped with a total of five active Ethernet ports (ENET 0-5). ENET 0 is a 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network uplink connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), 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. ENET 1 through 4 are 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network downlink connectivity ports, used to provide secure network connectivity to wired devices. ENET 0 is located on the rear of the AP, while ENET 1-4 are located on the bottom (Figure 4).Additionally, AP-93H supports a passive pass-through RJ-45 interface to extend a physical connection (typically another Ethernet connection) from the back of the device to a connector on the bottom.Figure 5 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-OutFigure 6 Fast Ethernet Port Pin-OutDC Power SocketThe AP-93H has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter.Reset ButtonThe reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset the AP:1. Power off the AP.2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flash within 5 seconds.4. Release the reset button.The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.Before You Begin Pre-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.AP Pre-Installation ChecklistBefore installing your AP-93H access point, be sure that you have the following:Pre-installed wall boxCat5 UTP cable with network access installed in the wall boxOne of the following power sources:IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourceAruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access pointOne of the following network services:Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)DNS server with an “A” recordDHCP Server with vendor-specific optionsSummary of the Setup ProcessSuccessful setup of an AP-93H 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:When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP addressAPs 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-93H 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: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 in 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)Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch roomsInstalling the APThe AP-93H is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes. To install your AP-93H:1. Begin by removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable). Figure 7 Removing the Wall Plate2. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the UTP cable.3. Use the short Ethernet cables supplied with the AP-93H to connect the AP to the RJ45 connectors or crimp an RJ45 plug (not supplied) on the cable (or both cables if using the pass through).4. Align the mounting holes of the AP-93H mounting bracket with mounting holes in you gang box as shown in Figure 8.The Aruba AP-93H requires ArubaOS 6.1.3 or later.Inform 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.Console Port ENET 0Pass Through PortIf both POE and DC power are available, the AP uses POE even when there is not enough POE voltage available to power the AP.SerialConsole Port12345678 TxD GNDRxD RJ-45 FemalePin-OutGND1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet PortRJ-45 FemalePin-Out 12345678Spare PairSpare PairSpare PairSpare PairETH Rx+ETH Rx-ETH Tx+ETH Tx-(POE positive)(POE positive)(POE negative)(POE negative)(POE negative) (POE negative)(POE positive)(POE positive)10/100 Mbps Ethernet   eentSpare Pair Spare Pair Spare Pair Spare Pair 1ETH Tx+ ETH Tx– ETH Rx+ ETH Rx– FCC 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.

Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network connectivityConfiguring the AP-93HAP Provisioning/ReprovisioningProvisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.AP ConfigurationConfiguration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller.Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI, ArubaOS CLI, or Aruba MMS.
