zConnecting the required cables

Mounting the Aruba 60/61

When provisioning is complete, mount the Aruba 60/61 at its intended service location.

The Aruba 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are intended only for

installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment

must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's

associated LAN connections.

Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. If necessary,

use the Aruba RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum locations for your access

points and air monitors.

The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.

Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the better its performance.

If external antennas are used, make sure that they and their associated wiring are located

entirely indoors. TheAruba 60/61 and any optional external antennas are not suitable for

outside use.

Installation Guide July 2004

Connecting Required Cables

The Aruba 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are intended only for

installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All interconnected equipment

must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's

associated LAN connections.

Selecting an FE Cable

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX

(twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate FE cable depends on the features

required of the FE port:

zSPOE

When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over Ethernet

(SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

The Aruba 5000 (with Line Card LC-5000-24FE-2GE-SPOE), the Aruba 2400, and the

Aruba 800 support SPOE.

zPOE

If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or

8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.

zNetwork Only

If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP,

FE cable. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts for straight-through or

crossover cables.

The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).

When the Aruba 60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, as described in NEC (2002)

Article 300.22(C), POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in such spaces should be

suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and

air-handling spaces with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP.

Install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and practices.

For more port and cable details, see Appendix A.
