Installation Guide

Appendix A

Press <Enter> a few times to establish communication between the Aruba AP 
60/61 and terminal.

If the AP has not finished booting, allow the Autoboot timer to expire. When the 
device has booted, the AP Support prompt (

#) will appear.

Aruba has two serial cables for the AP 60s. One cable is for Aruba POE 
and is relatively inexpensive.  The other cable requires mid-span power 
and is relatively expensive. A workaround to having to use the more 
expensive cable is to have a power supply available to use with the 
inexpensive serial cable.  

Also you can directly connect the AP to a Mobility Controller to correct 
any provisioning problems.

If properly set up, the AP support prompt can be accessed remotely using Telnet. 
By default, this feature is turned off for security purposes and cannot be turned 
on using the AP interface.

Setting Telnet Access

Telnet access can only be changed from the Mobility Controller management 
interface. Log in to the Mobility Controller CLI using the 

admin account, access the 

configuration (

config) prompt, and issue the following commands:

Using Telnet to Connect

Use a Telnet client on your management workstation to connect to the Aruba AP 
60/61’s individual IP address. The connection command may vary depending on 
the specific software used, but commonly appears as follows:

When the connection is established, the AP support prompt (

#) will be displayed.

(Aruba 5000) (config) # ap location <building>.<floor>.<device>
(Aruba 5000) (sap-config location b.f.d) # telnet {enable|disable}

> telnet <Aruba AP 60/61 IP address>
