Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company APIN0228 Manual De Usuario

| Installation Guide

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version 

installed on your controller.

Before 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 options

Before 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.

Use 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, 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 water

Aruba 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.

CAUTION

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.
