If the host Mobil-ity Controller’s IP address is obtained via DHCP, it will be used to upload the Aruba AP’s software image and confi guration. NOTE: If you have location-specifi c confi gurations for your APs, you need to apply this confi guration information using AP Provisioning.Next StepsIf you wish to fully confi gure and provision your Aruba AP before installing it at its fi nal desired location, before installing it proceed to step 3, “AP Provisioning”.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 obstruc-tions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the higher you place an AP or AM, the better its performance.The Aruba 65 can be mounted on a ceiling, wall or cubicle or stood upright on a desk stand.NOTE: For dimensions, see “Product Specifi cations”. Allow for additional space to accommodate antenna articulation.Desktop PlacementThe preinstalled desk stand allows you to place the AP vertically on a desk or table top.You can also hang the AP using the built-in mounting slots or attach the AP to a standard non-recessed 15/16” ceiling tile rail using the built-in ceiling tile rail slots, but you must fi rst detach the desk stand. To detach the desk stand:1. On the rear of AP, press down the tab on the lower left corner that secures the desk stand to the device.2. Twist the stand counter-clock-wise to detach it from the AP (see Figure 1)Using the Built-In Mounting SlotsThe keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP 65 can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelfTo hang the AP upright using the mounting slots, perform the follow-ing steps:1. Install two screws in the wall or shelf. If attaching the device to dry-wall, We recommend using appro-priate wall anchors (not included).2. Align the AP mounting slots to capture the surface screws (see Figure 2)3. Orient the antenna. For best performance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented verticallyCeiling Mount Using the Built-In Ceiling Tile Rail SlotsThe snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the Aruba 65 can be used to securely attach the device directly to a 15/16” wide, standard ceiling tile rail.CAUTION: Ensure secure fi t of the Aruba 65 to the tile rail or mounting points when hanging the device from the ceiling, as poor installation could cause it to fall on people or equipment.

Use them to repack the product in case there is a need to return it.BEFORE STARTINGBefore installing your Aruba 65 Wireless Access Point, please ensure you have the following: • 1 x Fast Ethernet CAT5 UTP cable of required length • 1 x 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet source (POE) - Aruba Mobility Controller or midspan device, or • 1 x Aruba AP65 AC adapter kit (sold separately) • 1 x Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the network: - with Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your Aruba 65 - One of the following network services: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS server with an “A” record - DHCP Server with vendor specifi c options (see Mobility Controller Discovery) Optional: • Aruba AP-65 secure wall mounting kitMobility Controller DiscoveryAruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Aruba 65 such that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information on AP confi guration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.About AP - Mobility Controller DiscoveryAruba APs are factory confi gured with basic network settings. This enables them (when connected to the network and powered on) to automatically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility Controller with no manual intervention required. The methods of automatic discovery and association include: - Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) - DNS - DHCP with Vendor Specifi c OptionsAruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)This is the simplest method for AP to Mobility Controller discovery and association. ADP allows Aruba APs to be connected to the net-work (or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically.ADP performs a single key task:Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Control-ler from which the Aruba AP will acquire its initial software confi guration. NOTE: Additionally, the AP software can also be uploaded via a standard TFTP server.ADP with Directly / Layer 2 Connected APsIf your Aruba AP is directly connected to an active Ethernet inter-face on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no confi guration is required. You may proceed to the next step.ADP with Layer 3 Connected APsIf your Aruba AP is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on the host network, then ADP multicasts 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:(A6000) (confi g) #adp discovery enable(A6000) (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. DNSIf the Aruba 65 is Layer 3 network connected, it can use network based DNS to resolve a factory confi gured default host name “aruba-master” to derive the host Mobility Controller’s IP address. To enable this, a record for “aruba-master” must be created on the network DNS server.CAUTION: Access Points are radio transmission 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. Part 0510260-01Service to all Aruba Networks equipment should beperformed by trained service personnel only.To suspend the Aruba 65 from the ceiling using the integrat-ed 15 /16” ceiling tile rail slots, perform the following steps:Connecting Required CablesThe AP 65’s integrated 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a 10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment or directly to an Aruba Mobility Controller. Use a 4 or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP, straight-through FE cable, however, the AP 65 FE port supports MDI/MDX 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.NOTE: Aruba 65 APs are intended only for installation in Environment A as defi ned in IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be con-tained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment’s associ-ated LAN connections. NOTE: When installed in an air-handling space, such as above suspended ceiling (plenum), the unit is required to be powered via PoE only. Additional cabling such as Fast Ethernet (FE) cables 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.Connecting Cables & Power1 Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba 65 FE port.2 Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the following: - a network port on an Aruba Mobility Controller, or - a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af compliant port, or - (if AC powering the device) an Ethernet switch with Layer 2/3 network connectivity to an Aruba Mobility Controller, while powering the AP 65 using the optional AC power adapter (use only approved Aruba Wireless Networks adapter UL Listed, marked “LPS” or “NEC” Class 2 and rated 5.0VDC, 3.0A output).FE Port Specifi cationsThe 10/100 Mbps FE port is located on the rear of the Aruba 65 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The port pin-outs are shown in Figure 4:AAAAAruArubAbout 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 wire-less Access Point• IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wire-less Air Monitor• Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet • Can be centrally managed, confi gured, and upgraded through an Aruba Mobility Controller• Can be remotely deployed as a Remote Access Point (RAP)1 Pull the FE networking cable (with RJ-45 male connector) through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile, located where the Aruba 65 is to be placed.2 Insert the RJ-45 cable into the Aruba 65 FE port.3 Align the Aruba 65 with the ceiling tile rail (15/16” wide) mounting slot guides at approximately a 30 degree angle to the cailing tile rail. Ensure any FE cable slack is located above the ceiling tile (see fi gure 3).4 Pushing towards the ceiling tile, twist the Aruba 65 clockwise until the device “clicks” into place on the ceiling tile rail (see fi gure 3).5 Orient the antenna. For best perfor-mance, swivel the antenna so that it is oriented vertically.Ceiling tile railRotate APuntil it clicksinto placeAlign tabswith railCeiling tileFigure 3 Figure 2AAThe Aruba AP Setup ProcessSetting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a planning stage and three installation steps: WLAN Planning Determine how many Aruba APs are needed for your wire-less network deployment and where they will be installed. This can be easily accomplished using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software (available separately). This stage should have been completed during the master Aruba Mobil-ity Controller installation and confi guration. In typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are confi gured and installed before APs.Mobility Controller Discovery — Aruba APs are factory confi gured with initial settings that enable them to auto-matically discover and associate to a host Aruba Mobility Controller. Once an Aruba AP associates to its host Mobil-ity controller, it will receive its AP confi guration and may be provisioned later with additional services and security parameters. AP Installation — Once Mobility Controller association has been reliably established, the AP can be physically installed at its intended permanent place of operation. AP Provisioning — The administrator defi nes the opera-tional behavior for each Aruba AP such as RF character-istics, security features and location codes. For specifi c AP confi guration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.12312

LED status is as follows:Provisioning the Aruba 65Once an AP associates to a host Aruba Mobility Controller and receives its basic confi guration, it may be provisioned. AP Provisioning is the process by which APs are assigned advanced or AP unique confi guration parameters, for example location codes, security credentials, or Remote AP credentials. Location codes are important for RF calibration and triangula-tion. AP Provisioning is not mandatory for basic wireless deploy-ment however it is recommended. It is mandatory for situa-tions where APs are required to be pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and fi nal network installation, such as Remote AP (RAP) deployments. Aruba APs may be provisioned in bulk in AP programming mode, where confi guration parameters are defi ned on the Aruba Mobility Controller via command line interface or web interface, and then uploaded to APs in batches. For details on AP confi guration and provisioning, see the Aru-baOS User Guide.SpecificationsMechanicalDevice Dimensions (antenna stowed) (HxWxD) : • 100mm x 100mm x 37mm• 3.94” x 3.94” x 1.47”Device Dimensions (antenna extended 180 degree) (HxWxD) :• 167mm x 100mm x 37mm• 6.58” x 3.94” x 1.47”Device Weight - 0.42 lbs / 0.191 KilosShipping Dimensions (HxWxD) : • 138mm x 172mm x 51mm• 5.43” x 6.77” x 2.00”Shipping Weight - 0.5 lbs / 0.227 KilosTemperature: • Operating: 0ºC to 50ºC (32ºF to 122ºF)• Storage: -10ºC to 70ºC (14ºF to 158ºF) Relative Humidity - 5% to 90% non-condensingAltitude - 8,000ft @ 28ºC (82.4ºF)Mounting:• Wall, cube or ceiling mountable• Enclosure supports integrated rear mounted snap-in 15/16” ceiling tile rail guidesAntenna - Integrated, non-detachable articulating tri-band antennaVisual Status Indicators (LEDs):• PWR - Power / Status• ENET - Ethernet link status / Activity• WLAN G - WLAN 2.4GHz status / Mode • WLAN A - WLAN 5GHz status / ModeElectricalEthernet: • 1 x 10/100 Base-T auto-sensing Ethernet RJ-45 Inter-face, MDI/MDX• IEEE 802.3af compliant Power Over Ethernet• IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u• Power Over Ethernet, 48V DC / 220mA Wireless LANNetwork Standards - IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b and - EN 300 328 2.4 GHz - EN 301 893 5.4 GHz - EN 301 489 EMC• MIC (Korea)• SRRC (China)• AS/NZS CISPR22: 2002• AS/NZS 4268• DGT (Taiwan)Safety Compliance• IEC 60950• EN 60950Aruba Networks provides a multi-language document contain-ing country specifi c restrictions, additional safety and regulatory information for the enclosed Access Point.
