This device combines high-performance wireless mobility with Gigabit wired local access to deliver secure network access to dormitories, hotel rooms, classrooms, medical clinics, and multi-tenant environments. MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology enables the AP-205H to provide wireless 2.4 GHz 802.11n and 5 GHz 802.11n/ac functionality, while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services.The AP-205H can be easily converted into a desk-mounted remote AP for branch office deployments with the AP-205H-MNTR mounting kit (sold separately), or attached to a wall box using the bracket included using the existing structured cable system. The AP-205H access point works in conjunction with an Aruba controller, while the IAP-205H variant uses a built-in virtual controller.The Aruba AP-205H access point provides the following capabilities:Dual wireless transceiversProtocol-independent networking functionality (no idea what this means)IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access pointIEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor, spectrum analyzerCompatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at PoECentral management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba Controller or Aruba Instant virtual controllerPOE power sourcing to an attached POE network deviceSupport for selected USB peripheralsPackage ContentsAP-205H Access PointSingle Gang Wall-box Mounting bracket2x #6-32 Machine ScrewTorx Security ScrewInstallation Guide (this document)Hardware OverviewFigure 1 FrontLEDThe AP-205H is equipped with two LEDs indicating System Status and PSE. Figure 2 RearConsole PortThe serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port located at the rear of the AP-205H, is a 4-pin connector with removable dust cover. An optional serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) compatible with the AP-205H, is sold separately. Figure 3 Bottom Ethernet PortsAP-205H is equipped with a total of four active Ethernet ports (E0-E3). E0 is 10/100/1000 Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network uplink connectivity port that is primarily used as a passthrough port, but can alternatively serve as E0 if the E0 and PT ports are physically bridged by a jumper cable (sold separately with the AP-205H-MNTR RAP Conversion Kit). This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector or network infrastructure that supports PoE. Ports E1-E3 are 10/100/1000 Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network downlink connectivity ports, used to provide secure network connectivity to wired devices. E0 is located on the rear of the AP, while the E1-E3 are located on the bottom (Figure 3).Additionally, AP-205H supports a passive pass-through RJ-45 interface to extend a physical connection (typically another Ethernet connection) from the back of the device to a connector on the bottom.Figure 4 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-OutUSB InterfaceThe AP-205H Series is equipped with a USB interface that is compatible with cellular modems and BLE dongles. When active, this USB port can supply up to 5W (1A).Power SupplyThe AP-205H has a single 48V DC power connector to support powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter. AP-AC-48V36 sold separately.When the AP-205H is powered by high-power, POE and POE-PSE on E3 is enabled and power to the powered device will be limited to 10W. When attempting to draw additional power, the AP will disable power on port E3. This port will automatically reactivate over time.Push ButtonThe push button located on the right side of the AP can be used to reset the AP to factory default settings or turn off/on the LED display. To reset the AP to factory default settings:1. Power off the AP.2. Press and hold the push button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.3. Power-on the AP without releasing the push button.
