Summary of the Setup Process

Successful setup of an AP-130 series access point consists of five tasks, which must be performed in this

order:

1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.

2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.

3. Install each AP.

4. Verify post-installation connectivity.

5. Configure each AP.

Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity

Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and connect

to the Controller when powered on.

Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:

When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address

APs are able to locate the Controller (Mobility Controller Discovery)

Refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the Controller.

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

You can mount the AP-130 series access point a ceiling rail (using the included adapter) or on a wall (using

the wall mount adapter, sold separately). Use the AP placement map generated by Aruba’s Airwave Virtual

RF 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.

Unidentified Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources

Identifying 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.

It is important that you verify the items listed under Pre-Installation Checklist before you attempt to set up and

install an AP-130 series AP.

Access 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.

Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the AP-130 series access points so

that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information about AP configuration,

refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and ArubaOS User Guide.

6 Aruba AP-130 Series Access Point | Installation Guide

RF absorbers include:

Cement/concrete: Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete,

allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration within the

concrete, blocking RF signals.

Natural Items: Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees

Brick

RF reflectors include:

Metal Objects: Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh

windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing

cabinets

Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that APs are placed below

ducts to avoid RF disturbances.

RF interference sources include:

Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)

Lunch rooms and call centers with cordless headsets

Installing the AP

Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter

The AP130 series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails.

1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed.

2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to

the tabs (see Figure 3).

3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 3).

Figure 3 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter

4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.

5. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30-

degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 4). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.

6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling

tile rail.

Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by trained service personnel only.

Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device from the ceiling, because poor

installation could cause it to fall onto people or equipment.
