Installation Guide

The Aruba IAP-92 and IAP-93 are single-radio, dual-band wireless access points 
that support the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. These 
access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-
throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 
GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless 
services. The IAP-92 and IAP-93 access points work only in conjunction with an 
Aruba Controller.

The Aruba IAP-92/IAP-93 access point provides the following capabilities:



Wireless transceiver



Protocol-independent networking functionality



IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point



IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor



Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE 



Central management configuration and upgrades through an Aruba 
Controller

IAP-92/IAP-93 is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, 
MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af 
Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, 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.

If PoE is not available, an optional Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) 
can be used to power the IAP-92/IAP-93.

The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings.. To 
reset the AP:

1. Power off the AP.

2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a 

paperclip.

3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will 

flash within 5 seconds.

4. Release the reset button.

The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is 
completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.

The IAP-92 is designed for use with external antennas. The IAP-93 is equipped 
with internal antennas.

After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their 
placement have been determined, the Aruba controller(s) must be installed and 
initial setup performed before the Aruba APs are deployed.

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

Before installing your IAP-92/IAP-93 access point, be sure that you have the 
following:



CAT5 UTP cable of required length



One of the following power sources:



IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source



Aruba AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)



Aruba Controller provisioned on the network:



Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point

One of the following network services:



Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)



DNS server with an “A” record



DHCP Server with vendor-specific options

Successful setup of an IAP-92/IAP-93 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.

Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs 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 AP is assigned a valid IP address



APs are able to locate the controller 

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

You can mount the IAP-92/IAP-93 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. 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.

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 in 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)



Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms

The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP can be used to attach the device 
upright to an indoor wall or shelf. When you choose the mounting location, allow 
additional space at the right of the unit for cables.

1. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the 

AP is such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre-
drilled hole in the mounting surface.

2. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches 

(4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, Aruba recommends 
using appropriate wall anchors (not included).

3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the 

).

The Aruba IAP-92/IAP-93 requires ArubaOS 5.0.1 or later.

Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If 
possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use 
these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.

AP Pre-Installation 

Aruba Networks, Inc., in compliance with governmental requirements, has 
designed the IAP-92/IAP-93 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.

Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to 
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the con-
figuration 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.

Installation and service of Aruba Networks products should be performed 
by Professional Installers. Additional antenna and transmit power 
information for Professional Installers can be found at

If you are installing an IAP-92, be sure to attach the antennas before 
mounting the AP.
