Aruba 203H Hospitality Access Points
| Installation Guide
5
Before installing access points in a network environment, make sure that they are able to locate and connect to
the controller after power on.
Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:
When connected to the network, each access point is assigned a valid IP address
Access points are able to locate the controller
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the controller.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
Use the access point 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
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 access point to
its fixed location. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:
Cement and brick
Objects that contain water
Metal
Microwave ovens
Wireless phones and headsets
Installing the Access Point
The 203H access point is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes.
1. Remove the existing data wall plate (if applicable).
2. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the UTP cable.
3. Use a short Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect the E0 port to an RJ45 connector, or crimp an RJ45

3. Use a short Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect the E0 port to an RJ45 connector, or crimp an RJ45
plug (not supplied) on the cable and insert into the E0 port.
4. Depending on the types of your wall boxes, you can choose different holes from the mounting bracket to
attach the bracket onto the wall box (see
Figure 4
and
Figure 5
). The applicable standards for the wall boxes
are:
IEC 60670-1, GB17466, BS4662 and DIN49073 for Worldwide
ANSI/NEMA OS 1 and OS 2 for US
Service to all Aruba Networks products should be performed by an AMCP certified technician or similar.
