If the host Mobility Controller’s IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used for uploading the Aruba access point’s software image and conﬁ guration. NOTE: If you have location-speciﬁ c conﬁ gurations for your Access Points, you will need to apply this conﬁ guration information using AP Reprovisioning.AP ReprovisioningOnce an AP is associated to an Aruba Mobility Controller, it is capable of being Reprovisioned if necessary. AP Reprovisioning is the process by which APs are assigned unique conﬁ guration characteristics, for example, location codes. Location codes are important for recalibration and triangulation. For details on AP Reprovisioning, see the ArubaOS User Guide.AP ProvisioningRecommended only in instances where APs require to be pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and ﬁ nal network installation (suchas as Remote Access Point (RAP) deployments), in AP programming mode, AP conﬁ guration parameters are deﬁ ned on the Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web interface, where they can then be uploaded to individual access points as required. Installing the Aruba 65Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. 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.The Aruba 65 can be mounted on a wall using the mounting slots on the bottom of the unit.NOTE: For dimensions, see “Product Speciﬁ cations”. Allow 5 cm (2”) additional space on the right-hand side for cables and ensure enough space for antenna articulation.Using the Built-In Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting SlotsThe snap-in tile rail slots on the back of the Aruba 65 can be used to attach the device directlyto a 1” wide, standard ceiling tile rail.CAUTION: Do not use the mounting slots to hang the Aruba 65 from the ceiling, sideways, or in any place where it could fall on people or equipment. For more secure installation, use one of the optional mounting kits.To hang the Aruba 65 upright using the mounting slots, perform the following steps:Connecting Required CablesNOTE: Aruba 65 Access Points are intended only for installation in Environment A as deﬁ ned in IEEE 802.3.af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment’s associ-ated LAN connections.The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable.X and automatically adjusts for straight-through or cross-over cables. The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet). Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and practices.Connecting Cables & Power1 Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 65 FE port2 Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following: - To a network port on the Mobility Controller, or - To a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af compliant portFE Port Speciﬁ cationsThe 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand side of the Aruba 65 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 0-2:Verifying Successful InstallationThe integrated LEDs on the AP 65 may be used at this point to verify the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully. LED behavior indicated status as follows: Configuring the Aruba 65Once the Aruba 65 has been provisioned and installed, it will be capable of discovery and association to an Aruba Mobility Controller where the wireless and security parameters can be set. For AP conﬁ guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User GuideAAAruArubInstallation instructions for the deployment and installation of your Aruba 65 802.11a/b/g wireless access point.About the Aruba 65The Aruba 65 is part of a comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works only in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, and provides the following capabilities: • Wireless transceiver • Protocol-independent networking functionality • IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless Access Point • IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless Air Monitor • Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) • Can be centrally managed, conﬁ gured, and upgraded through an Aruba Mobility ControllerAAThe Aruba AP Setup ProcessSetting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three AP installation stages: WLAN Planning — Determine how many Aruba access points will be needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed. This can be easily accom-plished using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This stage should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and conﬁ guration. In, typical Aruba installations, the mobility con-trollers are conﬁ gured and installed prior to access points.1 AP Provisioning — Provides each Aruba access point with the initial setting required to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Once the Aruba access point is associated to its host Mobility Controller, device speciﬁ c conﬁ guration may be applied as required (such as location code).2 AP Installation — Once provisioned, the AP can be physi-cally installed at its intended place of operation.3 AP Conﬁ guration — The administrator deﬁ nes the opera-tional behavior for each Aruba access point such as RF char-acteristics and security features. For speciﬁ c access point conﬁ guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.Provisioning the Aruba 65Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Aruba 65 such that only authorized network administrators can change these settings. For more information on Access Point conﬁ guration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide. Goal of Access Point ProvisioningProvisioning provides the Aruba access point with basic network settings that allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller. Initial provisioning may be achieved through a number of methods, including: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS - DHCP with Vendor Speciﬁ c OptionsAruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)This is the simplist method for AP provisioning. ADP allows Aruba access pionts to be connected to the network (or directly to a Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically.ADP performs one key task:Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Control-ler from which the Aruba access point will obtain its initial software load and conﬁ guration. NOTE: Additionally, the access point software can be uploaded via a standard TFTP server.ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected Access PointsIf your Aruba access point is directly connected to an active Ether-net interface on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no conﬁ guration is required. You may proceed to the next step.ADP with Layer 3 Connected Access PointsIf your Aruba access point is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host network, then ADP will multicast packets to locate a host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address. To ensure ADP is enabled, issue the following commands on the Master Aruba Mobility Controller:(A5000) (conﬁ g) #adp discovery enable(A5000) (conﬁ g) #adp igmp-join enableAn IP helper address on the subnet’s default gateway, mapped to the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address can be also used to facilitate the multicast / broadcast based aspect of this process. Provisioning using DNSIf Layer 3 network connected, the Aruba 65 can use network based DNS to resolve a factory conﬁ gured default host name “aruba-master” to derive the host Mobility Controller IP address.To enable this, a record for “aruba-master” must be created on the network DNS server.CAUTION: Access Points are radio broadcast devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the conﬁ guration and operation of Access Points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Speciﬁ cally, Access Points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the Access Point will be used. 3Part 0500133LED Color(S) Activity ActionPower/Test Green On Power On, Device ReadyFlashing System InitializingLAN (10/100 Mbps)Green/Amber Off No LinkGreen On 100Mbps Link NegotiatedGreen Flashing 100Mbps Data ActivityAmber On 10Mbps Link NegotiatedAmber Flashing 10Mbps Data ActivityWLAN Green/Amber Off Wirless Radio DisabledGreen On Wirleless Radio EnabledGreen Flashing Wireless Data Activity
