Installation Guide
About the RAP-5WN
The Aruba RAP-5WN is part of a comprehensive remote network solution. This
device works in conjunction with other Aruba products, such as Aruba Mobility
Controllers, and provides the following capabilities:
zCan be deployed remotely as a Remote Access Point (RAP)
zProtocol-independent networking functionality
zIEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n operation as a wireless Access Point
zIEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n operation as a wireless Air Monitor
zCan be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded through an Aruba Mobility
Controller
zWireless Transceiver
RAP-5WN Overview
Rear View
Figure 1 Rear View
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Port
The RAP-5WN has one 10/100/1000Base-T port used wired connectivity.
10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports
The RAP-5WN has four 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) ethernet ports for wired network
connectivity. These are ports 1 through 4.
DC IN (Power Socket)
The device is turned on when the attached power adapter (included) is plugged into
a power source (outlet). The device turns off by unplugging the device from the
power source.
USB Port
The purpose of this USB port is to support Cellular modems.
Reset Button
To reset the RAP-5WN, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip, into
the hole indicated in Figure 1 and press and hold the button while powering on the
RAP-5WN. This will return the device to factory default settings.

The Aruba AP Setup
Installation
The RAP-5WN is shipped with a stand to use on flat (i.e. table top) surfaces. Place
the RAP-5WN in the stand (see Figure 3) and place the stand on a flat, level surface.
Figure 3 Stand Installation
Connecting the Cables
You must connect the RAP-5WN to a network device that has access to the Internet,
such as a router or modem.
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port 0 on the RAP-5WN.
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-5WN.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The POWER LED is lit (solid green) when the RAP-5WN is receiving power.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-5WN’s PWR LED has come up and the boot cycle is complete, you
can connect to your company or corporate network.
Provisioning at Home
If your IT administrator instructed you to provision your RAP-5WN, complete the
following steps after the RAP-5WN has been powered.
1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port 1 on the RAP-5WN and the
other end to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and navigate to any URL.
3. An Aruba web page will appear (see Figure 4), requesting the IP address of the
master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.
The RAP-5WN will connect to the designated master controller and download the
necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-5WN comes back up, it is ready
to use.

Regulatory Approvals
FCC Statement
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. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
(Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral
devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Channel
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
•Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to
choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA
and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent
Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an
Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest
signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the
same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
Note:This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4G channel 1-11
.
