Aruba RAP-155 / RAP-155P Remote Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P are dual-radio, dual-band wireless access
points (AP) that offer wired and wireless network access, zero-touch
provisioning, identity-based access control, policy based forwarding, air
monitoring, and wireless intrusion protection across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
(802.11a/b/g and 802.11n) bands.
The Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P ship with the Aruba Instant software.
Therefore, out of the box, the Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P operate as a Virtual
Controller (VC) or an Instant AP. However, the Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P
can be converted to operate as a Remote AP (RAP). For information about the
IAP to RAP conversion, see RAP Conversion.
The Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P provide the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE

RAP-155 and RAP-155P Overview
Figure 1 Rear View
10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet Ports
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P has five 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet ports for
wired network connectivity. E0 is an uplink port and E1-E4 are downlink ports.
E0: WAN port
E1: LAN port
E2: LAN port
E3: LAN port
E4: LAN port
On the RAP-155P, port E1 and E2 have PoE power sourcing capability (PSE) to
supply power to two 802.3af powered device (class 0-4) on E1 and E2 port or one
802.3at powered device on either E1 or E2 port.
DC IN (Power Socket)
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port.
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P does not have an On/Off switch. The device turns on
when the power adapter is attached and plugged into a power outlet. The device
turns off when you disconnect the power adapter from the power source
(outlet).
USB Port
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P is equipped with a USB port to support cellular
modems.
Figure 2 Front View of RAP-155
Figure 3 Front View of RAP-155P
Serial Console Port
The serial console port is located at the bottom of RAP-155 or RAP-155P and
closed by a rubber insert when not in use. To use this port for troubleshooting,
remove the rubber insert and connect the serial adapter cable to the port.
LEDs
Reset Button
The RAP-155 and RAP-155P are equipped with a reset button, that when pushed,
resets the device to factory default settings. The reset button is located on the
rear of the device and is recessed in a small, round hole.
To reset the RAP-155 and RAP-155P, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin
or paperclip, into the hole and press and hold the button for 5-10 seconds while
powering on the RAP-155 and RAP-155P. This will return the device to factory
default settings.
RAP-155 and RAP-155P Installation
Tabletop Mounting
The RAP-155 and RAP-155P ship with a stand to use on flat (i.e. table top)
surfaces. Place the RAP-155 and RAP-155P in the stand (see Figure 4) and place
the stand on a flat, level surface.
Figure 4 Stand Installation
Connecting the Required Cables
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P must be connected to a network device that has
access to the Internet, such as a router or modem. To complete the installation
of the RAP-155 or RAP-155P:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-155 or
RAP-155P.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem
or router.
3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the RAP-155 or RAP-
155P.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The RAP-155 or RAP-155P is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the
PWR LED is solid green.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-155/RAP-155P’s PWR LED has come up, the device will take 2 to 3
minutes to complete the boot cycle. Once the boot cycle is complete, you can
connect to your company or corporate network.
RAP Conversion
If your network administrator has instructed you to convert the RAP-155 or RAP-
155P to work in RAP mode, follow the process below to complete the RAP
conversion.
1. Power up the RAP-155 or RAP-155P.
2. Connect to Instant SSID.
3. Login to the RAP-155 or RAP-155P by navigating to http://
instant.arubanetworks.com and login to the Instant UI. The default username is
admin and the default password is admin. See the included Aruba Instant
Quick Start Guide for more information.
4. Navigate to the Maintenance tab in the top right.
5. Click on the Convert tab.
6. Select Remote APs managed by a Mobility Controller from the drop
down menu.
7. Enter the IP address of the controller. This is provided by your network
administrator.
8. Click Convert Now to complete the conversion (see Figure 5).
9. The RAP-155 or RAP-155P will reboot and begin operating in RAP mode.
The Aruba RAP-155 and RAP-155P require Aruba Instant 3.3 or higher
version when deployed as an Instant AP and ArubaOS 6.3 or higher version
when deployed in conjunction with a Mobility Controller.
The 54V power adapter that ships with the RAP-155P does not come with a
country specific power cord. This cord must be ordered separately.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If
possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use
them to repack the product in case there is a need to return it.
