AP-210 Series Wireless Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba AP-214 and AP-215 wireless access points 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 and 802.11ac 5 GHz functionality
while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The AP-
210 Series access points work only in conjunction with an Aruba Controller.
The Aruba AP-210 Series access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE
Central management configuration and upgrades through a controller

LEDs
The AP-210 Series is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of the
various components of the AP.
PWR: Indicates whether or not the AP-210 Series is powered-on
ENET: Indicates the status of the AP-210 Series’ 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 radio
Figure 2 AP-210 Series Side View (AP-214 shown)
External Antenna Connectors
The AP-214 is equipped with three external antenna connectors. The connectors
are labeled ANT0, ANT1, and ANT2, and correspond to radio chains 0, 1, and 2.
For optimal performance when using articulating direct-mount antennas,
professional installers must orient the antennas with ANT0 and ANT2 at 45
degree angles and ANT1 oriented straight out (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 AP-214 Antenna Orientation
USB Interface
The AP-210 Series is equipped with a USB interface for connectivity with cellular
modems.
Figure 4 AP-210 Series Rear
Console Port
The serial console port 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 . Connect it
directly to a terminal or terminal server
using an Ethernet cable.
Ethernet Port
AP-210 Series is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing,
MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af and
802.3at 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 ports are on the bottom of the AP. These ports
have RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
DC Power Socket
If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
can be used to power the AP-210 Series.
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 length
Reset Button
The 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 Requirements
After 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 Checklist
Before installing your AP-210 Series AP, ensure that you have the following:
CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length
One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3at or 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 options
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of an AP-210 Series 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 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
Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and
connecting to the controller.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the AP-210 Series 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
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:
Cement and brick
Objects that contain water
Metal
Microwave ovens
Wireless phones and headsets
Installing the AP
Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The AP-210 Series 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.
The AP-210 Series requires ArubaOS 6.4.2.0 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.

Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed
the AP-210 Series access points so that only authorized network administrators can
change the settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the
ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.
!
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.
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service
personnel only.
!
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.

connectivity.
Configuring the AP-210 Series
AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning 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 Configuration
Configuration 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 or ArubaOS
CLI. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the ArubaOS User Guide.
