AP-103 Wireless Access PointInstallation GuideThe Aruba AP-103 wireless access point 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-103 access point works only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.The Aruba AP-103 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 a controllerPackage ContentsAP-103 access point 9/16" and 15/16” Ceiling Rail AdaptersInstallation guide (this document)AP-103 Hardware OverviewFigure 1 AP-103 LEDsLEDsThe AP-103 is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the various components of the AP.PWR: Indicates whether or not the AP-103 is powered-onENET: Indicates the status of the AP-103’ Ethernet port5 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio2.4 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radioFigure 2 AP-103 RearConsole PortThe serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover. Ethernet PortAP-103 is equipped with one 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 48 VDC (nominal) 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.The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 3.Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-OutDC Power SocketIf PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the AP-103. Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to power this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications:12 VDC (+/- 5%)/18WCenter-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm lengthReset 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 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, ensure that you have the following:CAT5e or better UTP cable of required lengthOne of the following power sources:802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE deviceAruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access pointOne 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-103 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-103 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s Airwave VisualRF 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 VisualRF 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. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:Cement and brickObjects that contain waterMetalMicrowave ovensWireless phones and headsetsInstalling the APUsing the Ceiling Rail AdapterThe AP-103 ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other rail styles are available as accessory kits.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 4).3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 4).Figure 4 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.5. 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.6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail.The AP-103 requires ArubaOS 6.4.1.0 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.Table 1 AP-103 LED MeaningsLED Color/State MeaningPWR Off No power to AP, or initial power-upRed Error conditionGreen - Flashing AP bootingGreen - Steady AP readyENET Off Ethernet link unavailableYellow - Steady 10/100Mbps Ethernet link establishedGreen - Steady 1000Mbps Ethernet link establishedFlashing Ethernet link activity5 GHz Off 5 GHz radio disabledYellow - Steady 5 Ghz radio enabled in non-HT WLAN modeGreen - Steady 5 Ghz radio enabled in HT WLAN modeFlashing - Green 5 Ghz Air or Spectrum Monitor2.4 GHz Off 2.4 GHz radio disabledYellow - Steady 2.4 Ghz radio enabled in non-HT WLAN modeGreen - Steady 2.4 Ghz radio enabled in HT WLAN modeFlashing - Green 2.4 Ghz Air or Spectrum Monitor2.4Ghz5GhzENETPWREthernet Port Console Port DC Power Socket Kensington LockReset Button1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet PortRJ-45 FemalePin-OutSignal Name12345678BI_DC+BI_DC-BI_DD+BI_DD-BI_DA+BI_DA-BI_DB+BI_DB-FunctionBi-directional pair +CBi-directional pair -CBi-directional pair +DBi-directional pair -DBi-directional pair +ABi-directional pair -ABi-directional pair +BBi-directional pair -B !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.
