6AP-228 Wireless Access Point | Installation GuideFor initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on your controller.Pre-Installation ChecklistBefore installing your AP, be sure that you have the items listed below:Gigabit Ethernet cable of required lengthIEEE 802.3at compliant PoE sourceAruba Mobility Controller configured and installed on the networkLayer 2/3 network connectivity to your APOne of the following network services:Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)DNS server with an “A” recordDHCP Server with vendor specific optionsVerifying Pre-Installation ConnectivityBefore you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and connect to the controller when they are powered on.Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address.APs can locate the controller.Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.Identifying Specific Installation LocationsUse the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s RF Plan software application to determine the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan.Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference SourcesIdentifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:Cement and brickObjects that contain waterAruba Networks, Inc. in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-228 such that only authorized network administrators can change configuration settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.!CAUTIONAccess points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used.

Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network connectivity.Configuring the APAP Provisioning/ReprovisioningProvisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored on the AP itself. Aruba recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI only. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.AP ConfigurationConfiguration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) but remain stored on the controller.Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS CLI. Refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for complete details.The cable is not included and must be purchased separately. Purchase a suitable UV-resistant, outdoor rated, CAT 5E or better RJ45 cable for use with the AP.Sealing Nut Clamping Ring CAT 5E or Better CableSealsThe seals inside the clamping ring by factory default is applicable for cables with 5-8.5 mm diameter.

14 AP-228 Wireless Access Point | Installation GuideCanadian StatementUnder Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.The device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
