Aruba RAP-3 Remote Access PointInstallation Guide The Aruba RAP-3WN and RAP-3WNP are single-radio, single-band wireless access points (AP) that 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 functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11 b/g wireless services.The RAP-3 ships with Aruba Instant software. Therefore, out of the box, the RAP-3 will operate as a Virtual Controller (VC) or an Instant AP. However, the RAP-3 can be converted to operate as a Remote AP (RAP). For information about the IAP to RAP conversion, see RAP Conversion.Wireless transceiverProtocol-independent networking functionalityIEEE 802.11b/g/n operation as a wireless access pointIEEE 802.11b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitorCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoEPackage Contents1x RAP-3WN or RAP-3WNP Access Point 1x Installation Guide (this document)1x Aruba Instant Quick Start Guide1x RJ-45 Ethernet Cable1x 12V Power Adapter (RAP-3WN only)1x 48V Power Adapter (RAP-3WNP only)Before You BeginBefore installing your RAP-3 Remote Access Point, please ensure you have the following:RAP-3 (included)1 x RJ-45 Ethernet Cable (included)1 x Power Adapter (included)RAP-3 OverviewFigure 1 Rear View (RAP-3WN Shown)10/100Base-T Ethernet PortsThe RAP-3 has three 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet ports for wired network connectivity. E0: WAN port (top)E1: LAN port (middle)E2: LAN port (bottom)On the RAP-3WNP, port E2 has PoE power sourcing capability (PSE) to supply power to any compliant 802.3af powered device (class 0-4).Figure 2 Fast Ethernet Port Pin OutDC IN (Power Socket)The RAP-3 power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port. The RAP-3 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).Top ViewFigure 3 Top ViewUSB PortThe RAP-3 is equipped with a USB port to support cellular modems. Figure 4 Bottom View (RAP-3WNP Shown) LEDsThe RAP-3WN has five LED indicators that display the status of the device. The RAP-3WNP has an additional LED called PSE.PWR: When lit, the RAP-3 is powered onE0:Indicates activity and/or status on this port.E1: Indicates activity and/or status on this portE2: Indicates activity and/or status on this portWLAN: Indicates wireless status and activityPSE (RAP-3WNP only): Indicated the PSE status on the RAP-3WNP Reset ButtonThe RAP-3 is equipped with reset button, that when pushed, resets the device to factory default settings. The reset button is located on the bottom of the device and is recessed in a small, round hole.To reset the RAP-3, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip, into the hole and press and hold the button while powering on the RAP-3. This will return the device to factory default settings.RAP-3 InstallationTabletop MountingThe RAP-3 is shipped with a stand to use on flat (i.e. table top) surfaces. Place the RAP-3 in the stand (see Figure 5) and place the stand on a flat, level surface. Figure 5 Stand Installation Connecting the Required CablesThe RAP-3 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-3:1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the RAP-3.2. 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-3.4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.The RAP-3 is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is solid green. Verifying Successful InstallationOnce the RAP-3’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 ConversionIf your network administrator has instructed you to convert the RAP-3 to work in RAP mode, follow the process below to complete the RAP conversion. 1. Power up the RAP-3.2. Connect to Instant SSID.3. Login to the RAP-3 by navigating to http://instant.arubanetworks.com and login to the Instant WebUI. 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 6).9. The RAP-3 will reboot and begin operating in RAP mode.Figure 6 IAP-RAP Conversion over the InternetThe RAP-3 requires Aruba Instant 3.0 to operate as a Instant AP and ArubaOS 6.1.4.0 to operate as a Remote AP.The 48V power adapter that ships with the RAP-3WNP 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.IAP-23_01E0 (WAN port)E1 (LAN port)E2 (LAN port)The RAP-3WN ships with a 12V power supply and the RAP-3WNP ships with a 48V power supply.
