AP-103 Wireless Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-103 wireless access point supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for
high-performance WLAN. This access point uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multipleout) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver highperformance, 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.

United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of
the FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional
violation may result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination
of operation and may be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).

AP-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.

Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference
Sources
Identifying 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:


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

Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The 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.
Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging
the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it
to fall onto people or equipment.
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).
Figure 4 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter
2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
Green - Flashing
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
Successful setup of an AP-103 consists of five tasks, which must be performed in
this order:
If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
can be used to power the AP-103.

The AP-103 is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the various
components of the AP.

You 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.
For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for
the software version installed on your controller.
Before installing your AP, ensure that you have the following:

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.
Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of access points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be
used.
4. 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.
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before 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

Proper Disposal of Aruba Equipment
For the most current information about Global Environmental Compliance and Aruba products, see
our website at www.arubanetworks.com.
Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Aruba products at end of life are subject to separate collection and treatment
in the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland and therefore are marked
with the symbol shown at the left (crossed-out wheelie bin). The treatment
applied at end of life of these products in these countries shall comply with
the applicable national laws of countries implementing Directive 2002/96EC
on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
European Union RoHS
Aruba products also comply with the EU Restriction of Hazardous
Substances Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS). EU RoHS restricts the use of
specific hazardous materials in the manufacture of electrical and
electronic equipment. Specifically, restricted materials under the RoHS
Directive are Lead (including Solder used in printed circuit assemblies), Cadmium, Mercury,
Hexavalent Chromium, and Bromine. Some Aruba products are subject to the exemptions listed in
RoHS Directive Annex 7 (Lead in solder used in printed circuit assemblies). Products and packaging
will be marked with the “RoHS” label shown at the left indicating conformance to this Directive.
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
interference harmful to radio communications.
If this equipment does cause interference, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:


If a power adapter other than the one provided by Aruba Networks is used
in the US or Canada, it should be cULus (NRTL) Listed, with an output
rated 12 VDC, minimum 1.25A, marked “LPS” or “Class 2,” and suitable for
plugging into a standard power receptacle in the US and Canada.
