Planning Guidelines for Using RingMaster to Plan a Mobility System
The Juniper Networks Mobility System is an enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) solution
that seamlessly integrates with an existing wired enterprise network. The Mobility System
provides secure connectivity to both wireless and wired users in large environments such
as office buildings, hospitals, and university campuses.
If you are using RingMaster software to plan your Mobility System installation, we
recommend that you create and verify a network plan for the entire installation and
generate a wireless LAN access point (WLA) work order using RingMaster before installing
the access points. A network plan and the WLA work order generated from RingMaster
provide the following information about access point installation and configuration:

WLA Series Access Point Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines
The following are radio frequency exposure guidelines for the WLA Series access points:
Wireless LAN Access Point (WLA) Radio Safety Advisories:
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum
Transmitters specifies a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with the proper
antennas (shipped in the product), Juniper Networks WLA Series Access Point products
meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper
installation of the access point according to the instructions in this manual will result in
user exposure that is below the FCC recommended limits.
Article 12—Without permission granted by the NCC, any company, enterprise, or user is
not allowed to change frequency, enhance transmitting power or alter original
characteristics as well as performance of an approved low power radio-frequency device.
Article 14—The low power radio-frequency device shall not influence aircraft security
and interfere legal communication; if such influence or interference is found, the user
shall cease operating immediately until no interference is achieved. The said legal
communications means radio communications are operated in compliance with the

37
WLA532E Access Point Hardware Documentation
Telecommunications Act. The low power radio-frequency devices must be susceptible
with the interference from legal communications or ISM radio wave radiated devices.
4.7.5—Within the 5.25–5.35-GHz band, U-NII devices will be restricted to indoor operations
to reduce any potential for harmful interference to co-channel MSS operations.
4.7.6—The operation of the U-NII devices is subject to the condition that no harmful
interference be caused. The user must stop operating the device immediately should
harmful interference be caused by the operation of authorized communications, or ISM
equipment, and shall not resume until the condition causing the harmful interference
has been corrected.
4.7.7—Manufacturers of U-NII devices are responsible for ensuring frequency stability
such that an emission is maintained within the band of operation under all conditions of
normal operation as specified in the user manual.
Translation: Class B (Broadcasting Communication Equipment for Home Use) As
electromagnetic-wave equipment for home use (Class B), this equipment is intended
mainly for home use and may be used in all areas of the home.

3. Plug the Category 5 cable from the NA outlet box into the access point.
4. Align the access point with the installed faceplate and push down on the access point
until you hear it click into place. Be sure the device is seated correctly in the bracket
by gently pulling up the access point and then pushing it down.
5. If the access point is not properly secured, press the release button on the bottom of
the bracket to release the device. Realign the unit, making sure the cable is still
connected, and push down until the access point clicks securely into place.
NOTE: We recommend that you use the optional security kit (separately
orderable) to secure the access point. The kit includes a special tool and
a security screw. Be sure that you retain the tool so that you can unlock
and move the access point. Never use a power tool to insert or remove
the security screw.
6. To lock the access point into place, secure the security screw in through the release
button by using the tool provided with the security kit (see Figure 38 on page 69). Do
not overtighten the screw.

Connecting the Access Point to Wireless LAN Controllers
After you install the wireless LAN access point, you can connect it to a wireless LAN
controller (WLC) directly or indirectly through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
To connect the access point directly to a controller or switch:
1.
Insert one end of the installed Category 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector in
the Ethernet port of the access point and the other end in Ethernet port of the
controller.
2. Look at the access point STAT LED for the port on the controller and verify that the
link is activated.
The link is activated if the STAT LED is green and glowing steadily.
To configure the access point connection, use the RingMaster GUI or the Mobility System
Software CLI.
If you are installing the access point in a wireless LAN mesh or wireless bridge
configuration, you must configure the access point before deploying the access point in
the final location. For more information, see the Mobility System Software Configuration
Guide from the Software Documentation section at Wireless LAN Services (WLS)
documentation .

Verifying the Health of WLA Series Access Points Using LEDs
After you install the WLA Series access point and enable the Power over Ethernet (PoE)
on the Ethernet cable connected to the access point, you can verify the access point
status by observing the health LED. The health or STAT LED indicates whether the access
point is operational.

•
If the LED is green and glowing steadily, the access point has been successfully booted
by the wireless LAN controller (WLC) and is operational.
•
If the LED is not steadily glowing green and is either yellow or alternating between
yellow and green, contact the system administrator for the WLC.
